Bubble, Bubble, Toil & Trouble Halloween card

A little more October wickedness...another with lots of die cutting, my favorite technique. I used a Tim Holtz Sizzix Mixed Media #1 die to create the green bubble background.  I layered a Spellbinders label die on top with my Quickutz Cauldron die as the focal point. I stamped the sentiment in the corner.

I finished it off with some black sequins.

Ingredients:

Stampin Up Cauldron Bubble Stamps 

Quickutz Cauldron 2x2

Spellbinders Labels Twenty die

Tim Holtz Sizzix Mixed Media #1

misc card stock

sequins

Hello, open if you dare is the sentiment of the day!  I am using this week's sketch from Atlantic Hearts Challenge.  I used my nesting coffin dies for the first time with this card. I stamped and embossed the sentiment on the black die cut coffin.  I also cut the ghosts and spiderwebs.

Here is this week's sketch.

Another view where you can see the ghost on pop dots.

With Heartfelt Sympathy card

I created a batch of sympathy cards recently. I noticed that my stash of that sentiment was depleted.  Unfortunately, I am glad I made them.  I have sent out two in the last month.  I sent this one to a crafty friend who lost her husband.  The background paper was from a second hand stash that I purchased which was already cut down to A2 size.  I suspect it is Stampin Up but have not confirmed such.  I found some coordinating scraps and die cut the foliage and word.  I stamped and die cut the "with heartfelt".

Ingredients:

Divinity Designs With Sympathy Stamp/Die Duo

Stampin Up Mango Melody ink

Scrapbook.com Market Blooms Sunshine Blooms dies (foliage)

Gina K Sentiment Strips Die Set
