31 Days of Halloween Day 6

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!

Hello everybody, its Riet here with a fun Halloween card. 


What I used for this card.
Versafine Onyx black.
Derwent chromaflow
Happy Halloween die.
Bats die.
Ranger stickles, Diamond and Cranberry.

An easy card today. The background was stamped using the spiderweb background stamp
and VersaFine Black ink. I stamped the Dracula image and then colored it with Derwent Chromaflow pencils. I added eyes to the bats using red Stickles. And I applied Diamond Stickles to the "Happy Halloween" die-cut. Everything was attached using foam tape.


The team would love for you to join the challenge. 
You can win new stamps.
So, invite all your stamping friends, too.
You have the whole month to participate, 
and your projects don't necessarily have to feature our stamps.
However, they must include stamping.
Can't wait to see what you create!
Have fun!

Hello Portal Peeps and welcome to the most spooktacular month of the year!

This cat has attitude!!!   I gave him a pumpkin jumper.  
The white panel has blended and smooched with Peeled Pint distress ink, and then I stamped Carmen's Veranda Flying Monkey Background with black archival ink, and added a little colour to the non-silhouette monkey.  I stamped Lost Coast Designs Fat Cat directly on the panel and also on a piece of white card.  I coloured the cat, fussy cut and added him to the card.  I die cut the jack o'lantern pieces using a poppystamp die, stuck them on his jumper and done!!

Thanks for dropping by.

31 Days of Halloween Day 3: Day of the Dead

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!

Boo! Aimee here. Spooky Season has FINALLY arrived. As an American, this is a holiday our communities really get excited about. Kids. Candy. Costumes. What's not to love!? And with a large Hispanic population now living here, Day of the Dead celebrations are becoming more and more popular.
I used the Lost Coast Designs DOD Baile and 4 Flowers A stamps in two sizes to create this card. I colored inside the flowers with gel pens, which look great on black paper.
We're celebrating 31 days of Halloween on the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity. We'd love to have you join in on this month's fun!

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!




Hey there Crafters - Darlene here with my Day 2 make with the
31 Days of Halloween
Theme 

For this card I used the Tall Tree background stamp
and
Carmen Verandas Witches go Riding

The background stamp was embossed onto gray cardstock.
Then masked a moon and used distress black soot ink to darken.

Two die cuts were used - the Bat and the Fence,
final was the saying which I only used one line of.
(you don't have to use the whole saying - sometimes bits
and pieces worked perfectly )


What Halloween theme project will you make and
enter into the monthly challenge
Make it spooky or make it fun !!  It's all about Halloween !!

31 Days of Halloween, Day 1

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 there, its Riet here.
Today marks the start of the Lost Coast Designs Halloween challenge.
The team will be showcasing plenty of Halloween and Day of the Dead themes this month.
I get to kick things off, starting with my witches' circle dance.
I used the Mini Gnome sets 1 and 4 from Lost Coast Designs, 
and the text stamp "When witches go riding" is from Carmen's Veranda.
For this card, I used the Sizzix Stamp & Spin tool.
The card measures 20x20 cm.
The small pumpkin and spiderwebs were created using a die.
I stamped with Versafine Onyx Black and coloured with Derwent Chromaflow.

The team would love for you to join the challenge. 
You can win new stamps.
So, invite all your stamping friends, too.
You have the whole month to participate,
