Ghosted... But in a Cute Way!

Dia daoibh! 

Halloween is finally here! The night when the doorbell gets more exercise than the treadmill ever did! Between dodging tiny vampires, witches, and one very determined dinosaur, I managed to whip up a batch of chocolate-covered apples at last (about time, says everyone in the house). Sticky fingers, sugar highs, and a few ghostly giggles later, I finally sat down to make something spooky of my own.

My Ghosts in Envelope card is from Furrow and Feather, cut on my trusty Silhouette Cameo from Parklane cardstock. I added a sprinkle of glitter and finished it off with glossy accents for that eerie shimmer. I’ve made a few of these little hauntings to send off to extended family (because nothing says “thinking of you” quite like a ghost popping out of an envelope!).

🎃 A few challenges:

• Leigh SB Designs Inspirational Challenges #45: Halloween / Anthing Goes
• Die Cut Divas - Anything Goes (October Welcomes Brass and Bliss)
• Make My Monday #263 - Halloween Colors
• Beautiful Blossoms #34 - Anything Flowers Goes (optional Mood Board) 
• Two Old Bats Halloween Challenge - October: Anything Halloween

• TIME OUT Challenges #300 - Autumn Celebrations Around the World  

And on that note... may your treats outweigh your tricks, may your costume survive the rain, and may you remember which child belongs to which witch before bedtime!

Oh Sheet - it's Halloween

Dia daoibh!

I’ve somehow managed to sneak my way into the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers as their Guest DT this month. The challenge theme for challenge #267 is S for Spooky, which is perfect, because honestly my craft room at the moment is scarier than any haunted house.

For my card, I went with a ghost (who clearly raided the florist) paired with the cheeky sentiment “Oh Sheet.”. I used die cuts from Lori Whitlock’s Halloween Envelope Box Card, courtesy of the ever-faithful Silhouette Cameo, and gave them all the lift of a dodgy Botox job with foam pads. A few Nuvo Drops, a sprinkle of glitter, and hey presto—spooky with a side of sparkle.

Head on over to the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers to check out the rest of the DT’s terrifyingly talented creations—they’re far too good to be kept in the crypt.

And remember… glitter may wash off your hands, but it’ll haunt your carpet forever and ever and ever and ever.

Sláinte,

Wendy R. 👻
