Surprise! Happy Halloween from Simon Says Stamp!

1 Oct

Hello!  I’m popping in with a quick card to share the Halloween release from Simon Says Stamp!  The release is full of fabulous, spooky dies to create quick Halloween cards!

Happy Halloween by Jessica Frost-Ballas for Simon Says Stamp

To create my card I die-cut the stitched rectangle and the Bare Tree from black cardstock.  Then I die-cut the House on the Horizon from slate grey cardstock and the Friendly Ghosts from white cardstock.  I blended a quick background using carved pumpkin (appropriate, right!), picked raspberry, seedless preserves, and black soot distress inks and then layered my landscape dies on top. I stamped the sentiment from If the Shoe Fits with versamark and heat-embossed it with white embossing powder.  Finally I tucked my ghosts in with a mix of regular adhesive and foam mounting tape!

I love the wee ghost peeking out from the house!  I added spectrum noir clear sparkle to each ghost for a little extra shimmer!

And that’s it!  Took me about 20 minutes to assemble and most of that was ink blending! 😉 Make sure to head over and check out the new release from Simon and let me know what your favorites! 😉 Thanks for visiting and have a great evening!
