Ghost story

For my final Halloween card of the year, I still had so many options of products I absolutely wanted to use before Halloween... but I decided to pair @thestamp_market Spooky times and @hellobluebird.stamps All the spooks. I also love that there is a card within the card. The idea of the ghost holding the newspaper only came later during the making but I love how cute it turned out. Products: All the spooks and Ghostly gift card die (Hello Bluebird stamps) Spooky times (The Stamp Market) Moon layers stencil (Trinity Stamps) Moon mask (Stampers Anonymous / Tim Holtz) Price tag and Coffee break (My Favorite Things) Hey honeycomb Halloween (The Greetery) Let's bokeh and Slimline Grassy stencil (Lawn Fawn) Distress oxides: Milled lavender, Wilted violet, Chipped sapphire, Squeezed lemonade, Mustard seed, Pumice stone, Twisted citron,  Rustic wilderness and Scattered straw Distress inks: Vintage photo and Walnut stain #thestampmarket #hellobluebirdstamps #cardmaking #cardmakingofinstagra...

This is the main reason I love Fall and Winter as they are an invitation to stay cozy and allow yourself to preserve a comfy and warm bubble around you, sip a hot chocolate while reading a good book or in the case of this sweet girl, listening to music. I couldn't help myself to turn this card into a shaker.   Alex Syberia Design products: Stay cozy stamp and die sets To create this card, I cut out two panels of the same size, slightly bigger than the Stay cozy image. On one panel, I used the coordinating die to create an opening for the shaker, taped acetate at the back and then added foam tape. On the second panel, I stamped the image through the opening of the first panel. This will be the shaker background. I also stamped the image a second time on a piece of cardstock and fussy cut the girl with scissors and a craft knife around the curls. I colored both images with Copic markers. I then poured a sequin mix on the background panel, and...
