Stampin’ Up! Scary Cute Card

Scary Cute! A perfect description for this fun Halloween card. A haunted house, a spooky cat, and a menacing monster set the scene on this bright colour block card. 

The Scary Silhouette dies are the highlight here but the coordinating Scary Cute stamp set has even more eerie fun with adorable trick-or-treaters and scary sentiments.

The bright colours really make the silhouette shapes stand out. I used Gorgeous Grape, Pumpkin Pie, and Granny Apple Green. All the blocks were popped up using Black Dimensionals. I always forget to use them but they are perfect for this card. I fussy cut part of the Trick or Treat sentiment (also popped up) and the Glossy Dots Assortment were the perfect finishing touch.

Rustic Harvest

Card making is much easier than it looks, especially when the products coordinate so amazingly as in the Rustic Harvest Suite in the July-December 2022 Mini Catalogue.

The Hello Harvest Stamp Set has beautifully detailed images that can be simply stamped or enhanced with a variety of colouring techniques. The gorgeous sunflowers on this card could be coloured with Stampin’ Blends, but I went with a quick sponge dauber technique using Crushed Curry and Soft Suede inks. It’s not as precise but is definitely faster when making multiples. This card was created for a recent swap requiring 21 cards, so faster was the way to go.

Also in this suite is the Leaf Label and Amber Gem Combo Pack, which proved to be another time saver as the leaf shapes were ready to stamp with one of the sentiments from the stamp set. A quick strip of designer series paper and I soon had the cards done.

Below are the products used and the dimensions for the card.
