A Spooktacular Blogger's Challenge

When this week's Blogger's challenge was posted, I got soooo excited 'cause the theme this week is Halloween!  As you know, I've been playing with Stampin Up's Nite Owl DSP (Designer Series Paper) and the Dark & Dreary stamp set.  I created several of these last weekend at the Weekend Memories crop I vendored at and had so much fun!  While all but one are cards, keep in mind that anything we do to cards can also be done to a scrapbook page. 

 
Here's the grouping of the 3 cards that used the Nite Owl DSP.  It's in the

Stampin Up Holiday Mini Catalog, #123012, $9.95. 

Here's a closer look at each one.

 
What was so much fun with these images was that they all started out black & white.

For this card, I used sponge daubers and sponges to color it in. I used Stampin

Write Markers to color the candles and candelabra.

 

 
For this one, I used my brayer, then sponges to get the effect. 

It was pretty easy and I like how it turned out.

 
Here's the inside.  Again, I used the brayer and sponged the edges.

 

Here's the list of what I used on the cards.  All products are Stampin Up.

Stamp set:  Grateful Greetings #116511, $36.95

Inks:  Basic Black, Cajun Craze, Pumpkin Pie, More Mustard, Basic Grey, Old Olive, RichRazzleberry

Cardstock:  Basic Black, Whisper White, Basic Gray, More Mustard, Nite Owl DSP

Accessories:  Stampin Around Wheel, Dimensionals, Mat Pack, Paper Piercer, Neutrals Brads, Sponge Daubers, Sponges, Brayer.

 

I'll post another haunting card and show you a closeup of the candy wrapper for you tomorrow. 

Until then, Happy Crafting!

A Fun Dog Page Created with "My Digital Studio" by Stampin' Up!

YAY!  I finally had some time to play with Stampin Up's "My Digital Studio" (MDS) and all I can say is WOW!  This is one fabulous piece of software!  It is so much more than just digital scrapbooking.  It can not only create scrapbook pages, cards, calendars, DVD's - with or without music I might add, but can be used as a conceptual tool to plan your papercrafting masterpieces.  LOVE that!

Here is a page that I came up with pretty quickly.  It was WAY too much fun to do.   

So whatcha think?  (Feel free to leave a comment.)  If you would like to see a demonstration in person, just let me know and I'd be happy to show you and your friends!

Happy creating!
