Have a Haunted Halloween

Hello PND Fans! Betty here today. Have you ever visited a haunted house? When I was in high school, my friends and I went to a Halloween haunted house and it was so scary! It was the last time I went to one. I don't like being scared and this is also the reason I avoid horror movies! However, I don't mind cute scary things, like this adorable "Frankie" stamp from Paper Nest Dolls. This stamp comes in red rubber and in digital formats.

Supplies used:

• Frankie digital stamp
• Perfect Pearls in Mint, Perfect Pearl, and Perfect Gold
• Graveyard Gate die and sentiment:  Stampin' Up-Graveyard Gate

Copic markers and Prismacolor pencils used:

Skin: YG67, YG63, YG61

Hair: BV08, BV13, BV11 + Prismacolor: PC932, PC938

Orange: YR18, YR16, YR12

Yellow: Y19, Y15, Y13

White: N3, N1, 0

For the background, I mixed Perfect Pearls with water to create some glitter watercolors and painted the sky and moon on black Bristol paper. I wanted to create an eerie, scary feeling for a haunted Halloween card. I added the graveyard gate to the scene. 

I hope you give this card a try! It's a cute and fun card to make. Thank you for stopping by and I hope you have a Happy Halloween! ~Betty~

My Pop & Twist Halloween Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It's Laurie here! I am sharing My Pop & Twist Halloween Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls. I was honoured to have been asked to present my colouring and a project this past weekend for the Paper Nest Dolls’ Not So Spooky Magical Weekend! So, I created a tag for the event, but I had so much fun that I created a card using the stamps from the retreat and based it on my tag with a twist!

The Details of My Card

For my card, I decided to create a Pop & Twist card. I love how when you open the card, the stamps on the inside fold out and pop up!

The front of the card was based on the tag that I presented with a few tweaks to fit the card size.

The inside was where all the magic happened as you open the card! When I saw these cute critters, I knew I wanted to create a twist and pop card!

I used very little decorations on the inside since I wanted the card to fold as flat as possible, but I couldn’t resist some glittery bats and Halloween words.

Ballgown Avery by Noelene

 Hello crafty friends Noelene here today with some D.T inspiration for the Paper Nest Dolls. Today I am using a stunning new image called Ballgown Avery. You may remember this stamp released some time back in rubber. The image although similar, is slightly different and an updated version.

I created a card with pretty distressed paper & added die cuts. I then embellished with flowers & lace. 

Copic Markers:

Hair: E41, E43, E44, E47

Skin: E0000, E000, E00, E11, R20

Clothes: R81, R83, R85, R89, YG45, 

 

This image is so versatile! Ballgown Avery could also be used for Prom/Formal & Quinceanera cards, just to name a few.

Ballgown Avery can be found & in digital format here. 

If you want a rubber stamp you can find the original version of this stamp here.

Thanks for stopping by!

Hugs

Are you afraid of vampires? I am!!!!

Hello,

Everyone should be afraid of Vampires!  But not Vampire Owen.  Owen is the sweetest and cutest vampire, and he lives for chocolate!  Look at that face!  Hims little fangs are not even big enough to harm any living creature.

Owen is posing in the back yard which just so happens to be against the woods where he plays often; it just looks scary on Halloween Night.  I hope he fills his pumpkin full of chocolate to share with his Mummy.

Owen is one of the youngest children of the Paper Nest Dolls family.  He helps his mommy a lot, getting ready for weekend stamp shows.  He really is a sweetie.

Do you know something?  I was so into coloring this that I didn't keep track of my colors.  It has been a while; I just need to get back in the swing.

Thanks for reading today's post and all about sweet little Vampire Owen.  You can find him at Paper Nest Dolls in the digital section.
