31 Days of Halloween: Day 21

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 everyone! My fourth inspiration card for our 31 Days of Halloween challenge! Hope we inspire you to give it a go yourself!👻😱👻 Have fun!

The techniques are the same as my previous blogposts. On a coloured background (Distress inks) I stamped Calligraphy Shrine with black StazOn ink and masked it. I stamped Skull Flourish, and also it's flourishes at the edges of the card. I sponged some edges around and inside the masked arch with black ink before I moved the mask. The card is finished with some bleach, charcoal and white gel pen.

See you soon,

LiesbethXX

 Hi, Riet here with a Iris shutter slimline card.

Hi there, today I have an iris shutter card for you.

Made with the super cute gnome witches from lost Coast designs.

This is what I used to make this card.

Mini Gnome set 5.

Gnome witch on broom.

Spiderwebs background.

Checkerboard rustic border.

CV When witches go riding.

Iris shutter die (Elizabeth crafts Designs.)

Flying bats die.

Pumpkins die.

Slimline frame (Marianne design)

Halloween stencil (BOO and pumkin face).

Distressink,

Musterd seed,

Twisted citron,

Spiced Marmelade,

Picked rasberry,

Seedless preserves,

Dusty Concord

Black water resistend ink.

White gelpen,

Red posca marker

Black marker.

Color pencils.

How to make the card.

Start by die cutting all the iris shutter parts.

Ink them up as shown on the photo's.

Put all the parts aside and let them air dry. 

Do not use a heat tool. 

The shutter parts will warp and they need to stay flat.

Punch a 1.5 inch cirkel and stamp the little star with.

Color the background and the witch.

Color the edge with Dusty concord.

Assemble the iris shutter as explained on the packaging.

Draw a pumpkin face on the iris shutter with the black marker.

We splash some Seedless preserves on the top ring of the shutter and sponge the word BOO on it.

Glue it to the iris shutter.

Stamp the witch, spiderweb, text on the pink background.

And the checkerboard above and below the purple background card.

Give the stamps accents with the white gel pen.

Assemble the iris shutter further as stated on the packaging of the die.

Can't figure it out? Then look up a video on YouTube.

That will help you through it.

I decorated with bats and pumpkins, but you can of course do that to your own taste.

I had a lot of fun making this card.

I'm curious to see what you make for Halloween.

Feel free to show us on the LCD/CV Blog or Facebook.

You'll then join the challenge and have a chance to win new stamps. 

How cool is that?

Stamps Used:

Spiderweb background

Piece of calligraphy 

I started with 2 white tags and some orange distress oxide ink. I smooched the ink on the craft mat and dipped the tags in it.

Next, I stamped Piece of calligraphy   in brown oxide ink, and I edged the tags with the same color. After that I stamped Spiderweb background in the same orange ink.

I stamped Bride of Frank and Frank on white cardstock and colored it with copic markers and cut them both out.

I then stamped the 3 and 1 from License plate alpha

 on some dark cardstock with white ink.

After all of that I added some Halloween ephemera

31 Days of Halloween Day 18

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 Darlene here with another Halloween card for this months theme.

For this one I used the Skull Crown Stamp and Spirit Saying

I had some nice black silvery looking paper in my stash.  So made the fun fold card with this..

I stamped the image on black cardstock then fussy cut it out. Then did the same onto a piece of vellum.

All in silver and black embossing powder.

The inside using one of my old stencils - just made the design in a black colour.

As you can see one side of the fold has the Spirt stamp.  this was done with Versamark and perfect pearls.

I glued the skull together on the face so that the vellum wings would pop up a bit.  Added a bit of silver threads - and there you go.  Know anyone with their birthday on halloween????  this would make a great card for that too

Nows its your turn.  Are you up for the challenge !!

Post your Halloween card here

And maybe win some new stamps !!!

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 everyone, Liesbeth here with another Halloween project to inspire you for our 31 Days of Halloween!

This time I used the wonderful stamp set Isle of Aud Creatures. I love it so much, and they are perfect Halloween stamps! The images are from paintings by Hieronymus Bosch (16th century), I'm a big fan of him!

I also used three times the window from the Door & Window set. The techniques are the same as last time (as always...;-)) Colouring with Distress inks and water, Stamping, masking, bleaching and finishing with black charcoal and white pens.

Hope you will join us with your Halloween makes!

See you next time!

31 Days of Halloween, Day 16.

Hello everyone, Riet here.

Today I want to show you this candle.

Even though I am Dutch, I think Halloween is absolutely amazing.

I especially like all homemade Halloween craft .

Halloween appeals to everyone's imagination when it comes to crafts.

But now the candle, bought at the Action, which is a well-known store in the Netherlands.

Especially because it is low budget.

What I used for this candle:

LCD Dancing skeletons.

LCD Crackle background.

Stazon Brown Timber.

Black waterproof ink.

I started by removing the piece of fabric.

First we are going to give the candle a slightly older look.

We dab the candle with a piece of paper towel and some Stazon Timber Brown.

The next step is with a hard coarse sponge and Archival or stazon black.

Not too much otherwise the black will dominate.

With the crackle background stamp we now make a few prints on the candle.

We do this without a stamp block, so free in the hand. Stamp light and airy.

Repeat this until you are satisfied with the result.

Now the candle holder.

It looks a bit plain.

So I put some viva decor terra on it.

It has a nice bloody color and that works well for Halloween.

I stamped the dancing skeletons with black ink and cut them out and glued them on.

Use a thin paper for this.

Decorate further with some spiders and spider web.

This is the front and the back side of the candle.

This is an easy and quick project, and such a fun way to create a Halloween deco piece.

Now it's up to you to make something for the challenge.

Participate and get a chance to win new rubber stamps of your choice.

You don't necessarily have to enter with LCD/CV stamps.

All brands can enter.

But read the rules first, so you avoid disappointment.

I hope to see your work on the challenge blog.
