Conie Fong: VAMPIRE from the HALLOWEEN BUNDLE

Happy Monday friends! Halloween is "fright" around the corner, and I'm working my way through Conie Fong's digital Halloween Bundle which is perfect for all those cute and spooky cards. This digital set comes with 16 different images in both PNG and JPEG versions so a whopping total of 32 files for only $3.00!! I mean seriously, it's the best deal ever!!   

Today, I colored up this adorable Vampire. I printed the image on Copic Xpress It Blending Card, and colored him with Copic Markers. I trimmed the panel to 4" x 5.25". Next, I used a stencil to add the bats. Then I lightly blended black ink over the entire panel. 

Copics:
Skin: W0, W2, W3, W4, W6
Hair: C3, C5, C8, Black
Red: R24, R27, R37, R39, R59
Black: C5, C7, C9, Black
Ground: W3, W4, W7

 

Both the sentiment and stencil are from Jaded Blossom. Once the panel was completed, I adhered it to a black card base. And guess what? I didn't use any foam tape (which is not normal for me)! It's a flat card and perfect for mailing!

 

I hope you grab some images from Conie Fong and share your creations in the Conie Fong Art and Design Facebook Group so we can Ooooh and Aaaaah over your work! 

Hugs,
Rosie

Stamping Bella: DOUBLE DOUBLE, Toil & Trouble

Happy Saturday friends! Last month, Stamping Bella had a TOO CUTE TO SPOOK Digital Stamp Release with 9 Fall/Halloween themed sets. Today I"m featuring an adorable witch and cat from the Halloween Characters Digital Stamp Set. I colored them with Copic Markers and cut them out with scissors. I then created the living room scene with patterned paper and adhered the images to the card with foam tape for extra dimension.

 

The cauldron with bubbles and the box under the cat are dies from Jaded Blossom. I hand wrote the "Double Double toil & trouble" using a white gel pen. The Happy Halloween at the bottom is from a Jaded Blossom stamp set. 

 

Be sure to head over to the Stamping Bella Store and grab all your faves. Their rubber stamps and digital stamps are truly AMAZING! 

Hugs,

Rosie

Conie Fong: MUMMY from the HALLOWEEN BUNDLE

Happy Wednesday friends! Halloween is "fright" around the corner, and this digital Halloween Bundle from Conie Fong is the perfect set for all those cute and spooky cards! I love the versatility of digital stamps, and today I'm showcasing a fun way to use those Halloween images. I created Mummy shaped cards by printing this mummy image almost the size of an A2 card (a little smaller than 5.5 inches). Then I traced a border around the cut-out image onto a folded black card base (leaving the top of the head area attached on the fold) so I had a black mat around the mummy image.  

Copics:
Gray: C1, C2, C3, C4, C5
Brown: E41, E42, E43, E44

I added foam tape behind the mummy image so it's slightly raised off the black card base. I had so much fun creating these cards, and think they would be excellent to use as an invitation for those upcoming Halloween parties.

On the inside I added a sentiment from Jaded Blossom's Spooky Season Stamp Set. You could easily add party details to the inside if you use them as invitations. They would also make great place cards for the table if you added each guest's name on a label/banner for the mummy to hold. The ideas are endless!

 

I hope you grab some images from Conie Fong and share your creations in the Conie Fong Art and Design Facebook Group so we can Ooooh and Aaaaah over your work! 

Hugs,
Rosie

Today, I used some fabulous paper and a sentiment panel from Echo Park Ghosts and Goblins 6x6 Paper Pad. I love that this paper pad has large sentiments that can be used as the focal point of your card.

 

 

The puffy ghosts and spiders stickers are from Doodlebug Design. To finish off the card, I added gorgeous R43 white peonies, black cherry blossoms, purple achillea cottage flowers, white achillea cottage flowers, and tiny leaves that I inked up with black ink.

 

I wanted to create some webbing on the card since I added spiders so I drizzled Fabri-Tac Glue over the flowers.

Jaded Blossom: WITCHES BREW JUST FOR YOU!

Happy Friday everyone! It's the middle of September and I'm ready for fall and cooler temperatures. Maybe more Halloween cards will bring in some colder weather because 105 degrees is too dang hot! Jaded Blossom brought in new paper pads from Echo Park so I decided to create a card using Echo Park Halloween Parade 6x6 Paper Pad. 

The cauldron mug and sentiment are from Witches Brew Stamp Set. I used dies from Gnome Dies: Halloween Costume Add Ons 2 for the witch's legs. The bats and drip border were created using Halloween Dies.

We currently have an ANYTHING GOES Challenge in the Jaded Blossom Facebook Group until October 3rd. We hope you play along for a chance to win a $20 Gift Certificate to the Jaded Blossom Store!

Conie Fong: GHOSTLY GREETINGS!

Ghostly Greetings friends! It's Halloween Eve so I'm popping on to share these adorable ghost cards using the girl ghost with bow from Conie Fong's Halloween Bundle. This bundle comes with 16 different images in two formats: JPG and PNG. I used the PNG format and layered multiple white ghosts and pink ghosts on a black background. I then printed the design, and colored in their bows using markers.

These were fun to create! The time consuming part was rotating the ghosts and layering them on the black background. Now I can print this design multiple times for mass card making. I think it would be a fun project for kids to color. They could even draw in designs on the ghosts to make them more unique.

I hope you grab some images from Conie Fong and share your creations in the Conie Fong Art and Design Facebook Group. Conie also created a YouTube Channel called DRAW WITH CONIE to walk you step-by-step on how to draw various images. If you happen to give drawing a try, we would love for you to join the Draw With Conie Facebook Group so we can Ooooh and Aaaaah over your work!

Hugs,

Rosie

Jaded Blossom: HAUNTED HIGHWAY

Happy Friday everyone! Did you see that for the month of October, Jaded Blossom is doing a CASE ME Challenge? What is that you ask? Well, you pick a card that one of their design team members has made and then copy it. We're also doing something different this month and allowing people to join in the challenge by uploading to the October Album in the Jaded Blossom's Garden of Creativity Facebook Group.

For my card, I decided to case DT Cynthia's owl card HERE. Instead of an owl, I used a bat and made my card spooky for Halloween. I used the original Street Lamp Die for the lamp post and Street Lamp Die: Valentine Add Ons for the street sign holder. The "Haunted Highway" came from the Haunted Highway Stamp Set. To create the moon, I used the Stitched Circle Dies with the Grunge Background Stencil. The large bat on the lamp post came from Gnome Dies: Halloween Add Ons. The small bats on the moon are from Halloween Embellishment Clusters. I used the Halloween Scenic Dies to create the silhouette border at the bottom.

The background sky was created by inking up royal blue paper around the edges with black and dark blue ink, and then using the Magic Swirl Stencil (September 2025 Freebie) with white ink.

Here is Cynthia's card that I cased:

Remember, the current "CASE ME" Challenge runs until November 1st for a chance to win a $20 store gift certificate! You don't have to have a blog to play along. You can load your card to the October Album in the Jaded Blossom's Garden of Creativity Facebook Group or you can upload to the Jaded Blossom Blog!

Have a great weekend!
