Debbie Owens creates a scary distressed background on her slimline card featuring a black scallop-edged background (Slimline Frames & Portholes die set). She uses the Spooky Street stamp set to add some scary trees and tombstones. Enjoying their evening out are two vampire kitties from the Batty Newton and the Count Newton stamp sets. Don't you love their teal capes? So fun!

Amy Tollner showcases the witch image from the Witchy Newton stamp and coordinating die set. She places this darling witch on an oval card base (Oval Frames die set) which includes some spider webs from the Spiderweb Oval stamp set. She adds a duo of bats using dies from the Halloween Trio die set. She adds a sentiment from the Spooky Roundabout stamp set on a banner cut using the Banner Trio die set. A spook-tacular Halloween cared!

Claire Lamb creates a pair of Halloween tags that are perfect for the occasion.  She uses the Jar Hot Foil plate and die set to create her tag shape. Then she adds some spooky elements inside her jars. Those spider webs are from the Spiderweb Oval stamp set. The bats are from the Batty Newton stamps.  Loving her jar labels?  She uses the A7 Frames & Banners die set and adds images from the newly released Halloween Apothecary stamp set. So spookily cute!

Crystal Minkler's spooky background filled with bats was made using the Flying Bats stencil. She then adds a black frame combining the Framework and the Land Borders die sets.  Enjoying all those creepy bats is a little witch from the Brooms & Boos stamp and coordinating die set.  The overall effect is a spooky, yet darling, card!

Danni Bindel's card is too cute to spook!  She pulls papers from the Halloween Time paper pad.  Don't you love the background paper with the Halloween scene already made for you?  Danni slips a striped paper behind it to add more color and fun. She also uses the Frames & Flags die set to get the scallop edging.  She adds the trio from the Halloween Trio stamp and coordinating die set who look like they are having a great time!  Darling!

Now it's your turn to create a Halloween card that will spook us!

Debbie Owens uses the colors for her square-shaped Easter card. She uses the Frames Squared die set for the card base and center panel. She then stamps two tulips (Tulips stamp set) and colors one in lavender and one in pink.  She places them behind the cute bunny and his sign from the Hoppy Greetings stamp set. Such a cute scene!

Diane Morales creates the cutest slimline card using the scallop-edge frame die from the Slimline Frames & Portholes die set. She adds a white fence (Fence die set) which looks fabulous against her pink-speckled background.  Her star attraction is the sweet, tan kitty from the Newton's Easter Basket stamp and die set.

Sue T. uses the newly released Slimline Masking Circles and Squares stencil set and the Clouds stencil to create two panels of beautiful lavender clouds.  A beautiful backdrop for her fresh yellow daisies from the 

Dainty Daisies stamp and die cut using the coordinating die.  She pulls the sentiment from the Floral Roundabout stamp set.

Sparkly bunnies in the background provides the perfect backdrop for this trio of bunnies in their colorful envelopes!  Amy T. begins this darling card using just one layer of the Bunny Tails stencil with glitter paste! Using the scallop-edge frame from the Slimline Frames & Portholes die, she cuts her shimmery, bunny backdrop and adheres to a lavender card base.  She then stamps the bunnies from the Hare Mail mini stamp set and cuts using the coordinating die.  She colors each envelope in one of the challenge colors while leaving the bunnies white.  Once adhered, she adds the punny sentiment. Cuteness times three!

Claire Lamb uses the Circle Frames die set to create a fabulous crescent moon and shadow that works perfectly with the newly released Baa stamp and die set.  On her moon, she subtly adds some craters using the Bubbly stencil and lightly distressing.  How clever!  She adds some clouds, also lightly distressed, for her darling lambs.  Her fun coloring of the lambs makes them look super fluffy.  A few scattered, white stars finishes her scene.  The sentiment pulls her sleepy scene together for a wonderfully designed card!

 Debbie Owens' trio will having you singing in the rain!  She begins her CAS card using texture paste with the Raindrops stencil to create subtle raindrops in the background.  She then stamps and fussy cuts the trio of kittens from the Newton's Rainy Trio stamp set and uses colored pencils to color their rain jackets and boots in the challenge colors.  Glossy Accent was added to the boots and umbrellas.  A bright, cheerful card to sing in the new season!
