Boo to you!
It is Halloween today which means lots of fun little goblins, monsters… or Queen Elsa and Anna… will be out roaming the malls, neighborhoods, and stores today. I have to admit, I love answering the door for trick or treaters and seeing all the super fun and adorable costumes. Though, to be honest, I also love spending Halloween in Las Vegas when Halloween falls on a Friday or Saturday. Let me tell you, you see the BEST costumes around the casinos in Vegas. But, given that I have two little ones right now, I’ll save Vegas for a few years and enjoy the cutesy fun of the holiday. I mean, how is this not so much fun??
Nicholas is Wolverine this year (he loves superheros) and Caitlin is a cowgirl… or as she calls it Cowboy Girl.
And speaking of cutesy fun! Check out this cards, just for you for Halloween!
This was another of my Fall Fest cards and when the girls over at Stylin Stampin’ Inkspiration were putting together a Halloween post full of fun Halloween card ideas, I just had to add this one to the mix. It is fun and easy to do, but I found a few tips along the way when creating it.

So, I know Halloween is tomorrow, but I had a few more not-so-spooky cards that I wanted to share to help get us in the mood. (Because I know the stores are already switching over to Christmas mode, so we have to help each other keep the Halloween fun going until tomorrow night, right? 
)
This was the card I created for my Fun n’ Crafty stampers Stamp & Share event I ran earlier this fall. The Stamp & Share is our event we hold a few times a year to come together and share ideas, new stamping techniques, business tips, and of course, stamp together! So much fun! Anyway, I wanted to use the Fall Fest stamp set and framelits for our make & takes and so I knew I wanted to do something with that adorable ghost.
Tips for making this card:
Now, I thought I’d also share a card that was my first attempt at this general card idea. I decided it didn’t quite work the way I wanted so I came up with the version above. But I thought I’d share it in case it gives you some other inspiration.
The main difference is that I stamped the ghost onto the Lost Lagoon cardstock and then cut him out and glued the die cut onto the other part of the Lost Lagoon cardstock. Then in the hole that was cut out, I stamped the ghost directly onto the cardbase and glued the Lost Lagoon cardstock over the top. Clear as mud?
Hopefully that picture helps. So, enjoy the next couple days of haunting and if you have any questions about the details of being a demonstrator or joining my team, I’d love to chat with you! Email me at jennifer@nwstamper.com and we’ll chat!

Sometimes you have to go back to those techniques have been been around forever… in this case, I created a card to share with my Stamp Club folks using the Rock n’ Roll technique.
I combined a few of my favorite fall items – like the Autumn Wood Elements and the Fall Fest stamp and framelit bundle. It was a way to use those fall stamps and accents for a card that isn’t necessarily fall specific.
And of course there is the Rock n’ Roll technique which we used on the pumpkin here –
How to do the Rock n’ Roll Technique:
You should get a lighter color in the middle and the darker color around the edges. Easy Peasy!
Now, I’ll admit, this is the card we made in Stamp Club, but this is the card I originally made and had planned to use for the class (I just managed to lose the stamp set at the time and so couldn’t bring it to class! Darn craft room, eating my supplies!)
It is almost exactly the same, except that I used the For all Things stamp set instead. I love how that leaf looks with this technique, don’t you? I used the Hello Honey ink pad and edged with Cajun Craze for the pretty fall colors.
Just a quick reminder! That you only have until October 31st to join my Stampin’ Up family and get in on the free pack of designer paper a month for the next 6 months!
