Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember Day 3 (+VIDEO!)

3 Sep

Good morning!  Today we’re shifting gears with a sparkly Halloween card using products from the STAMPtember release!

Happy Halloween by Jessica Frost-Ballas for Simon Says Stamp

You can watch the video below or at my Youtube channel here!

To start I blend dusty concord, seedless preserves, worn lipstick, and black soot distress ink onto a piece of strathmore bristol cardstock.  I spritz it with water several times and blot off the excess for a foggy and misty look!

Next I stamp the haunted house and bats from Bwahaha with versamark on black cardstock and heat-emboss them with black sparkle embossing powder.  I added yellow colored pencil shading to the windows off the house and then die-cut it with the coordinating dies.

Next I stamp the moon on yellow cardstock and heat-emboss it with glow in the dark embossing powder before die-cutting with the coordinating die.  Then I rip a piece of black cardstock to create my ground and place it in the MISTI.  I stamp the sentiment from Bwahaha once with versamark and heat-emboss it with white embossing powder.  Then I place it back in my MISTI and stamp the sentiment again with versamark before heat-embossing it with glow in the dark embossing powder.  To assemble the card I adhere the moon and ground with regular ATG adhesive and then add the house and bats with foam mounting tape.  Finally I add a layer of spectrum noir clear sparkle to the windows of the house!  I think the sparkle does a good job of making the card not as spooky, right? 😉

Thanks so much for visiting and have a fantastic holiday!
