Too Cute to Spook Cuties

Happy Friday, DT Annalisa here today! We’re just one week away from Halloween, and I’m back with another cute and spooky handmade card featuring digital stamps and dies from Time For Tea Designs. 🎃

I started by using two Rounded Corner Stitched Rectangle Dies to cut a frame from some plaid-patterned paper in my stash. For the background, I blended Wilted Violet Distress Watercolour Pencil with a few sprays of Carved Pumpkin Distress Oxide. Once I was happy with the blend, I heat-set the panel and trimmed it down to 3¼" x 4¾" so it would fit neatly behind my plaid frame.

Next, I used the larger of the two rounded corner dies to create my card base, then adhered the background panel with liquid glue.

For the sentiment, I chose the Too Cute To Spook sentiment dies. I cut the phrase twice, once from white cardstock and once from black. I coloured the white layer with a purple Copic marker and added a shimmer mist to the black layer for extra sparkle. To make the sentiment pop, I glued the two layers slightly offset, then attached it to the card front with liquid glue.

To bring my Halloween scene to life, I used the Spooky Circle Tags Clear Stamp Set for the candy and the Trick or Treaters Digital Stamp Collection for the cat and pumpkin. I cut out all the images using my Brother Scan N Cut SDX125e, then coloured them with Copic markers and added highlights using a white gel pen for extra detail.

Finally, I arranged the stamped images on my background, securing them in place with a mix of liquid glue and double-sided foam tape to add some fun dimension.

Thank you so much for stopping by and checking out my latest project. 👻🧡
