31 Days of Halloween Challenge - Day 31, Fright Night

Welcome back to Lost Coast Portal to Creativity where Lost Coast Designs and Carmen's Veranda collide to bring you twice the inspiration and double the fun!

Greetings! You've got Kathi here to share a card created for Day 31 of the 31 Days of Halloween Challenge with the new Cartoon Girl Rubber Stamp by Lost Coast Designs! She's one of four new stamps that are utterly fabulous and all have wonderful facial expressions!

I thought that the Cartoon Girl looks a bit terrified, so being that it's Halloween and all, I created a spooky graveyard scene for her.

I stamped Cartoon Girl with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink, fussy-cut the image, and colored it with Copic markers. When I was done, I used a black pen to edge the fussy-cut image to avoid those ghastly white edges. Cartoon Girl was set aside while her setting was being made.

Green cardstock was cut with wavy curved edge dies, then edged with darker green dye ink. They were layered and adhered to a 4.75" x 6.75" piece of white-speckled navy cardstock to create the image panel. A thin strip of edged green cardstock was adhered to the bottom of the panel. The grassy cemetery was edged with the same darker green dye ink.

The gravestones were die-cut from very light textured grey cardstock and some greenish grey cardstock. Light grey dye ink was used to edge and age them. They were then tucked into the hills and adhered to the grassy cemetery.

Textured grey cardstock was cut with gargoyle column/ attached gate dies and additional gate dies. The gargoyles were colored with Copic markers, then red glitter markers were used to color the eyes, so the gargoyles look demonic. The gates were colored with black metallic markers. 

The gargoyle column/gates and the additional gates were adhered to the scene, 

The fussy-cut and colored Cartoon Girl was adhered to the card front as shown.

A sticker sentiment was adhered to the top sky area of the card. A Bats die from the same die set was used to cut a strip of textured black cardstock then the bats were adhered to the card front as shown. 

The cardfront was adhered to a 5" x 7" textured black card.

31 Days of Halloween - Day 28

Welcome back to Lost Coast Portal to Creativity where Lost Coast Designs and Carmen's Veranda collide to bring you twice the inspiration and double the fun!

Greetings! You've got Kathi here to share a card created for Day 28 of our October 31 Days of Halloween Challenge with the Witch 2 Rubber Stamp by Lost Coast Designs.

Use Tuxedo Black Memento Ink to stamp the Witch 2 Rubber Stamp onto a 6" square piece of Bristol Paper. Heat set the image, then color it with Copic markers.

Place the image panel onto a magnetic craft surface, then place a circle mask over the colored image. This white circle area will become the moon.

Brush dark blue dye ink around the outside edges of the image panel and over the outside of the circle mask. Brush a lighter blue dye ink over the panel working from the outside edges towards the circle mask, blending as you go. Brush a brighter blue dye ink onto the image panel and over the outside of the circle mask. 

Finish the background night sky by brushing two colors of violet dye inks over the panel and the outside of the circle mask.

Remove the circle mask and heat set the image panel.

Add a bit of removable adhesive to the moon, then secure the circle mask back in place. Use magnets and/or tape to secure the riding witch stencil over the image panel. 

Brush Morning Mist VersaFine Clair Ink over the stencil onto the image panel. Use a very small brush to apply White Shimmer Delicata Ink over the large diamond shapes on the stencil.

Remove both the stencil and the circle mask from the image panel. Carefully remove the adhesive from the moon area of the image panel. 

Heat set the image panel. 

Trim the image panel to 5.5" square and edge with the Morning Mist VersaFine Clair Ink. 

Trim a piece of silver metallic cardstock to 5.75" and use this to mat the image panel.

Add double-sided tape to the reverse of a strip of the remaining silver metallic cardstock, then use alphabet cutting dies to cut the letters needed for the sentiment. Adhere the "We Ride" sentiment die-cut letters to the matted image panel as shown. 

 Adhere the matted card front to a 6" square black card.

31 Days of Halloween day 26, candy/gift box.

Welcome back to Lost Coast Portal to Creativity where Lost Coast Designs and Carmen's Veranda collide to bring you twice the inspiration and double the fun!

Hi, Riet here with a cute little Halloween candy/gift box.

I had some scraps left over from my last project and used them for this box.

It would be a shame to throw them away, wouldn't it?

What did I use for it? 

LCD Mini gnomes 1

LCD Spiderwebs background

CV Skull and bones background

LCD Fourth demension background

We r Makers gift box punch board 

Bow die

Bat die

Small tag punch/die

Ecoline markers: 

600 Green, 237 Deep Orange, 548 Blue violet.

(Any other brand waterbased markers will do fine). 

Black waterproof ink pad.

Watercolor paper.

The background was created by coloring directly onto the stamp with the ecoline markers.

 Spray a very small amount of water onto it and press it down.

Be sure to use watercolor paper for this.

Allow it to dry thoroughly.

Now for the box.

Select the size on the punch board.

My box measures 6.5cm x 6.5cm x 6.5cm.

Cut 4 pieces of the skull-patterned background paper for the sides of the box.

Die-cut the bows and add detail to them using the stamps.

Die-cut a bat.

Since the box still needs to be able to open, I opted for a paper band.

I sized it to fit and glued the bow onto it.

And now for the mini tag.

Stamp the little witch using black waterproof ink.

I colored her—as well as the background—with Derwent Chromaflow pencils.

I added some glitter to the stars on her hat using Ranger Stickles.

Glue the tip of the tag just below the paper ribbon.

And with that, the little box is finished.

I hope you enjoyed it.

Why not join in with our challenge? The team would love that!

And, of course, you’ll also have a chance to win a prize.

Have a wonderful day, and until next time!

GO TO THE CHALLENGE!!!
