Hello, everyone! Today, I am sharing my last blog for the Picket Fence Studios August 2024 Release. This post is a bit sweet and I am using the Sweet Spooky Holiday Stamp Set to create a truly bewitching card! This card also features the October Nights Stencil and the May Your Night Be Creepy Stamp Set, which help build a really fun background!
Below is a complete list of Picket Fence Studios products that I used to create this card:
Sweet Spooky Holiday Stamp Set
Sweet Spooky Holiday Coordinating Dies
May Your Night Be Creepy Stamp Set
October Nights Stencil
Liquid Kiwi Lime Paper Splatter Watercolor
Liquid Fire Orange Paper Splatter Watercolor
Finally, Halloween Sequin Mix
Now, let’s get into some spooky sweet crafting!
To start my card, I colored up a handful of images from the Spooky Sweet Holiday stamp set using my Copic Markers. I then used the coordinating dies to cut out the shapes and set them aside for later. I also head embossed the sentiments “Best Witches” and “to you” in white embossing powder, and, using the coordinating dies, cut them out to set aside.
For my background, I cut a 4″ x 5.25″ piece of light purple cardstock, a 4.125″ x 5.375″ piece of lime green cardstock and a 4.25″ x 5.5″ piece of black cardstock. I grabbed the purple panel and distressed the edges by ink blending Wilted Violet and Villainous Potion Distress Inks. I then placed the October Nights stencil over my panel and ink-blended a solid layer of Villainous Potion Distress Ink.
Taking my purple panel, from the May Your Night Be Spooky stamp set, I stamped out the pumpkin garland image on the top and the pumpkin border on the bottom in Versafine Clair Nocturne Ink. I then poured clear detail embossing powder over the ink and heat embossed the images. Once set, I splattered the panel with Liquid Fire Orange and Kiwi Lime Paper Splatter. I placed the panel off to the side to dry.
When my panel had fully dried, I adhered my purple panel on top of the lime green panel, and that unit on top of the black panel to give a double frame. I used a combination of liquid adhesive and foam tape to assemble my witchy cupcake and place it onto my card, along with my sentiment. I adhered the panel with liquid adhesive to an A2 card base, and a few embellishments from the Finally, Halloween Sequin Mix!
Thank you so much for stopping by for some spooky confection inspiration today! I hope this card gives you some ideas how to whip up your very own Holiday Cupcakes with the August Release!
Happy Crafting!
