Sweet November Stamps ~ Late Halloween Celebrations!

Happy Wednesday!  Today's card features one of the Halloween clear stamp sets released this past Fall from  Sweet November Stamps.

This little cutie is from the "Sorcha's Spell Room" clear stamp set.

I made this simple card for one of my October PenPals for Sweet November and she just received this week - it had to travel across the pond from Canada to Europe.

I started my stamping my image and masking her off.  Then I blended some green Distress Oxide inks from lightest to darkest across my die cut panel.  I used Twisted Citron, Mowed Lawn and then Rustic Wilderness.

Then I took my Heffy Doodle "Dotty Lotty" stencil and some white and green inks and stencilled a variety of different sized circles across the background.

I then peeled off my mask and colored in my little witch with Copic Markers.  I added some sparkle detailing using a White Gel Pen.

To finish off the card, I added some fun Halloween plaid paper from the "Feline Spooky" patterned paper pack from Catherine Pooler Designs.  So super cute!

I stamped a greeting from the "Lil Grimmy - Scary & Sweet" clear stamp set in black ink and I also stamped another witchy image from the "Lucinda's Lair" clear stamp set with CP Tiki Torch ink n my envelope.

We are having a "Christmas/Holiday" themed December PenPal if you are interested in joining us.  You only have to create ONE card but it must contain a Sweet November Stamps image on it.  It's a simple as that!  Click here to find out more about the PenPal swap.

Have a great weekend all!

Happy Monday!  Time for a final Halloween hoorah from Sweet November Stamps!

Over on the Sweet November stamps Facebook page, every month I host a PenPal swap.  Each month members can sign up to create and send ONE card to a fellow SNS lover.  The stipulations are that your card must contain a SNS image and it must follow that month's theme.  Super easy!

For Halloween, since it's a unique holiday for sending cards, members could sign up for one or two PenPals for the month.  I choose to sign up for two PenPals.

This is the card I made for my second PenPal.

I used the adorable "Lucinda's Lair" clear stamp set. I loved creating this scene with all the amazing stamps in this set.  

I hope you have a spooktacular week!

Sweet November Stamps ~ Black Cat Society

Happy Thursday!  I still have a few more Halloween treats from Sweet November Stamps to share.

Today's card features one of the sweet kitty's from the "Black Cat Society" stamp set.

Over at Sweet November Stamps I host a monthly penpal and the October theme was Halloween so this is the card I made to send to one of my 2 penpals.

It was a very simple card to create.  I masked off the brick wall and the cat and then used my Copic Airbrush to color my sky in.

I also used some bats from the "Background Builder: Spooky Tree" stamp set to set the mood.

My penpal has received it so I know I can share it now!

Have a great week!

My card today features the sweet little witch and her furry pal on a broom from the Whimsy Stamps stamp set, "Halloween Wishes".  

I masked the moon and image off and then blended several orange Distress Oxide inks around the moon to create a glow effect.  I used Spiced Marmalade, Ripe Persimmon, Candied Apple and Lumberjack Plaid Oxides.

I used Copic Markers to color up the moon and the witch & cat.  I used a tree stamp from Lavinia Stamps to create the finally spooky effect.

Here's a glimpse of the circuit.  I used 7 White LED Light Stickers, a Battery Holder and Conductive Fabric Tape.

The red lined tape is the positive side of the circuit and the blue lined tape is the negative side of the circuit.

I used a fussy cut image of the same witch & cat combo for the back of the of the image to block the light.

For the sentiment, I used one from the "Halloween Wishes" stamp set from Whimsy Stamps.

Sweet November Stamps ~ Flamin' Phoenix

 Happy Saturday!  Time for a last Halloween hoorah over at Sweet November Stamps!

We are celebrating with a brand new group of digis... cool label digis!

For my card creation I used elements from the "Phoenix Ashes Labels".  I chose to use the label shape and and the phoenix images to create my own label.

To make the background a little different, I used the two sentiments from the collection to create a font inscribed background.

For the inside of the label I chose to use the Phoenix image twice: one larger than the other to create movement on my card!

The entire image was colored using Copic Markers... even the background.

Thanks for stopping by!  Hope you'll check the rest of the cool label digis right HERE!

Have a great weekend!

Sweet November Stamps ~ Trick-or-Treating Fun

Happy weekend all!  Today I'm sharing my final Halloween card featuring one of the new clear stamp sets from Sweet November Stamps. 

Today's card features the adorable little "Trick-or-treators" stamp set.  To set the scene, I also used the "Background Builders: Halloween Neighborhood" stamp set as well.

Chibitronics ~ The Witch's Lair

Happy Thursday!   Today I'm sharing my latest Chibitronics creation that I've made this week.

Today's card features some fun Halloween stamp sets from Sweet November Stamps and their latest Ghoulish Greetings release.  Meet "SN Gal Dedemona", our witch.  Other SNS stamps I also used today include the cauldron & window from "Halloween Room Add-Ons", the crystal ball & candles from "Sorsha's Spell Room", the table from "Meet Cute", and the cat from the "Background Builder: Spook Tree" stamp sets.

I started today's card by stamping copies of my scene. I used the full and black inked copy on my card front and a copy of the scene I used on the inside guts of my card to map out my circuit onto.  I also stamped a copy of Desdemona on some black cardstock and fussy cut her out.  I applied her to the backside of the image behind her image on the card front. This block out the light and won't project through her image.

I located my battery location underneath the kitty images on my card front.  Then I used my Craft Stencil and added the 5 locations of the light stickers I wanted to use; one on candle flame and a couple on the cauldron glow and one under her crystal ball.  Next I mapped out the pathways of the negative (blue lines) and positive (red lines) of my circuit using pen.

Next I  applied my Battery Holder into his place on my circuit. It has a peel and stick backer. Then I laid down the Conductive Fabric Tape for the negative side of my circuit.  I began on the bottom side of the self adhesive Battery Holder.

Next I laid down the positive side of the circuit tape.  I began on the inside of the lid of the Battery Holder.  This allows the lid of the Battery Holder to be pressed to close the circuit and allow the lights to come on - otherwise known as the switch.

Lastly, to complete the circuit, I added my five LED Light Stickers, I used 3 Green LEDs, and 2 gem shaped Animating White Blink LED Light Stickers.

I used the green stickers from the Pink/Green/Orange MegaPack, and the White Blink stickers from the Animating White Blink LED Lights Pack (comes in 24 or 6 pack).

I adhered the double sided self-adhering "C" shaped foam inside the Battery Holder and popped in a 3V Coin Battery.

To allow for the bulkiness of the Battery Holder, I applied 3D foam around the perimeter of the circuit panel so the card front closes on the same level as the whole card.

Let's give it test... and REMEMBER... the white light BLINKS of the candles blinks on and off!  To complete the switch, all you have to do is press the kitty.  I usually just leave a message for my card receipt on the inside as to how you turn the lights on.

 And that's it!  A super fun and spooky card for someone special!

Sweet November Stamps ~ He's One Handsome Guy

Happy Monday!  Today I'm sharing another fun new Halloween card featuring one of the new clear stamp sets from Sweet November Stamps released just a few weeks ago. 

Today's card features the "SN Guy Baron".  He's a handsome Hallow' guy!

I started my card by stamping the suave guy first.  I created a mask for his feet.  Then I stamped the flooring from the "Background Builder: Halloween Room" and the windows from the "Halloween Room Add On" stamp set. I stamped the 2 bats from the "SN Guy Baron" in the windows too.

To finish off the card, I stamped the sentiment from the "Background Builder: Halloween Room"stamp set and embossed it with glittery deep orange embossing powder.

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy weekend all!  Today I'm sharing another fun new Halloween card featuring one of the new digital stamp sets from Sweet November Stamps.  We've just added a whole group of brand new Halloween themed cookies!

Today's card features the adorable cookies from the "Halloween Cookies: Sets 4 & 5".  These 2 cookie sets includes a cat, a jar full of eye of newt, a spider, a werewolf, a Frankenstein's monster, a moon and pumpkin jar.

I used the clear PNG file, "Layering Pumpkin Jar" and added my cookies inside.

Everything is colored up with Copic Markers.

I think my favorite part of this card is the Frankenstein monster eyes and brains!  So fun to color!
