CHALKBOARD TECHNIQUE
Such a fun and easy way to make your cards look like vintage chalkboards! And combined with a Halloween card – it's kind of spooky looking too! I used the EVERYTHING FESTIVE stamp wet on the front and the some images from WICKEDLY WONDERFUL on the inside. And that little bat punch – so cute right? It's from the EVERY SEASON PUNCH PACK – a great set of 4 punches for every season.
The CRUSHED CURRY CRINKLED RIBBON is a unique look and who doesn't LOVE seam binding??? It's so easy to tie bows and knots with. I used a MINI GLUE DOT to attach the little black bat to the seam binding bow.
This card would look GREAT with any of the patterns from the MONSTER BASH DESIGNER SERIES PAPER – quick and easy so you can make up a whole bunch to send out to your favorite SPOOKTACULAR friends.
Dimensions:
- Basic Black 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" & 3" x 4 1/4"
- Pumpkin Pie 4" x 5 1/4"
- Crumb Cake 3 3/4" x 5"
- Monster Bash Designer Series Paper 4" x 5 1/4" & 1" x 2 3/4"
And the MINI CURVY KEEPSAKES BOX DIES make the most adorable little treat holders!

These cuties are from the BIRDS OF A FEATHER stamp set! I love using it with the EVERY SEASON PUNCH PACK! Read on for all the details….
Each one of the cards has a panel on the front creating a peek-a-boo element – the panel is 8 1/2" x 3 1/4" scored at 4 1/4".
Isn't this little duck adorable??? He's perfect for a cute Halloween card! I made this card at an event I attended a few weeks ago for demonstrators. I don't remember who designed it – but I fell in love with the stamp set and the layout! If you want to get a lot of BANG for your BUCK – the BIRDS OF A FEATHER paired with the EVERY SEASON PUNCH PACK will get you through four holidays and so much more! I used the STYLISH SCROLL EMBOSSING FOLDER on the Early Espresso layer for a little texture. The 2" circle punch is what I used for the see-thru on the front for all except the turkey card – I used my Layering Circle Dies for that one because the turkey is a little bigger than the other images.
Dimensions:
- Pumpkin Pie 5 1/2" x 4 1/4"
- Crushed Curry 3 1/4" x 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
- Early Expresso 4" x 5 1/4"
- Whisper White scrap
The Stampin' Blend Alcohol Markers are my GO TO for coloring! I used Lt Basic Black, Lt Smokey Slate, Dk Cajun Craze, Dk Real Red, Dk Real Red, Dk Crumb Cake, Pool Party Combo, and Soft Suede Combo on the turkey. My little leaves are Crushed Curry and Merry Merlot ink and cardstock and I popped them up on dimensionals.
The inside greeting is from DAY OF THANKS – a great set perfect for Thanksgiving.
Dimensions:
- Pretty Peacock 11" x 4 1/4" & 3 1/4" x 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
- Come to Gather DSP 4" x 5 1/4" & 4" x 3"
- Whisper White 4" x 5 1/4" & scrap
- Real Red 4" x 5 1/4" & scrap
Christmas…super cute right? I just love this little bird with his cute Santa hat! The little red scalloped edge under the sentiment layer is created with the DECORATIVE RIBBON BORDER PUNCH – the edge makes the perfect little embellishment to make that layer pop. I used the WINTER KNIT 3D EMBOSSING FOLDER for the white layer on the front – it's hard to see in the photo but it adds just that little bit of texture and fun to the card.
The inside sentiment comes from the exclusive HOST SET called GREATEST PART OF CHRISTMAS – it's on page 61 in the Holiday Mini Catalog. This set is only available when you earn STAMPIN' REWARDS for your party or your order over $150.
Dimensions:
- Coastal Cabana 11" x 4 1/4" & 3 1/4" x 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
- Whisper White 4" x 5 1/4", 3 3/4" x 5" & 1" x 3 1/4" & scrap
- Real Red 4" x 5 1/4" & scrap
And who doesn't love this rooster??? He's so cute!!! I stamped him on one of the COME TO GATHER DESIGNER SERIES PAPER patterns and then used the STAMPIN' CHALK marker to color his head area white. Dark Daffodil Delight & Dark Real Red Stampin' Blend Markers were used for the rest. The white layer is embossed with the PINEWOOD PLANKS 3D FOLDER – one of my favorite!
Dimensions:
- Real Red 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" & 3 1/4" x 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
- Whisper White 4" x 5 1/4", 3 3/4" x 5" & 1" x 3 1/4" & scrap
- Come to Gather Designer Series Paper 1" x 3 1/4" & scrap
The inside sentiment is from HEALING HUGS – I thought this would be a GREAT get well crd! But of course I'll be using this rooster for Valentine's cards when the time comes too!
