Spooky Halloween Decoration Card

Hello Friends Waleska from craftinglovew here, with my last post as the October Guest Designer... (sad face) I had a blast during this month sharing with you a little bit of my Halloween Card Love!!! Tomorrow is Halloween and for today's card as you already imagine I did another Halloween Card! I just can't stop, Newton's Nook stamps are so awesome!!! I hope your halloween decorations are up and you have your costume ready!!! This card was inspired on my own Halloween decorations! Every year the Halloween decoration of my fireplace is very special for all the family!

CARD DETAILS:

I started with a cream card base, I sponged the edges with Walnut Stain Distress Ink, to make the down part of the wall I used a scoreboard and score every 1/2 inch to create a wall texture and sponge it again with Walnut Stain Distress Ink to accentuate the raised lines.  I cut a strip of cardstock in the same color and adhere it to the scored panel. I stamp the spooky frame  from Creepy Cameos and the spooky skeleton with versafine ink and clear embossing powder.  I die cut a gray fireplace with a brick stencil and walnut stain distress ink I created the brick look.  I decorated the fireplace with some of the SpookySkeletons animals and I also added bats and spooky pumpkins! 

Thank you so much for stopping by and let me share with you all this Halloween cards! I hope you have an Amazing day! I am very grateful to Newton's Nook  for the opportunity to share with you my love not only for halloween cards but for Cardmaking! I send you:

Hugs, Love and a Spooktacular Halloween!!!

Trick or Treat Spooky Pumpkins

Hello Friends this is one of my last cards for this 2017 Halloween Season.  For this card I used many of the items that came on the October Brutus Monroe Inspiration Box! This box was the first box I have purchased and it was so worth it! I love everything on the box! For my card today I used the spooky pumpkin and a bunch of halloween Oxide Ink colors.

CARD DETAILS:

I started with a 3.5 x 9 card base, with post it tape I divided the front into 3 sections and colored each sections with Halloween colors!! I die cut three very spooky pumpkins with black glitter cardstock, I adhered the pumpkins to the card on the different colored sections and added the unique eyes that came on the inspiration box.  I also used the decorative embellished corners from the kit.  To finish the card I sponged with distress inks the corners for a more spooky look!!

Scared Newton/Newton´s Nook Guest Designer

Hello Friends!!! Waleska here... and for today's card poor Newton was so scared he jumped to the wall.  Every time I make scene cards, I try to think on a special scenario and work with my images! Let me share with you how I created this one:

CARD DETAILS:

I wanted to create a scene with a spooky wall with Newton hanging because he is so scared after seeing that spooky frame or mirror.  I cut a cream cardstock for the front of my card and sponge the edges with Walnut Stain Distress Ink.  To make the down part of the wall I used a score board and score every 1/2 inch to create a wall texture and sponge it again with Walnut Stain Distress Ink to accentuate the raised lines.  I cut a strip of cardstock in the same color and adhere it to the scored panel with foam.

After I had my wall I stamped the spooky frame from Creepy Cameos with versafine ink and added clear embossing powder, for the inside part of the frame I used gray cardstock to simulate glass and stamped the creepy skull that scares Newton.  Finally I added the very frightened Newton from a non halloween set called Naughty Newton to the wall and I added the sentiment from Newtons Costume Party

I hope you like my card and I could inspire you to create and think outside box with your stamps to create fun scenes!  I hope you have a great starting week!

Top 5 Adhesive Tips!!!

Hello CDD Friends, Waleska here to share with you a fun Halloween Card and also to share with you my top 6 favorite adhesives, (I couldn't just pick 5).  If you did not know we have a new feature at the Craftin Desert Divas blog, each week the Design Team will share different tips and favorites with you, this week's topic is "Top 5 Favorite Crafty Tools".  I wanted to share with you about adhesives and the great thing is that you can find almost all of this adhesives at the Craftin Desert Divas Shop Here.   This is my card:

My favorite adhesives are: Starting from the ones I use the most, #1 the Tonic Craft Tacky Glue I use this one for almost everything I glue on my cards, I like the size and the fine tip, #2 the Tombow Mono Multi, this one is great too but I think is too sticky when I get it in my fingers and is constantly clogged so what I do is I always have a pin on hand, that is why I switched to the Tonic Craft glue, #3 Glossy Accents this glue is awesome to adhere embellishments to your cards, specially sequins I find glossy accents holds very well almost all my embellishments and it dries very quick!, #4 The Quickie Glue Pen this one is great to adhere very fine detail dies or words, #5 the Aileen's Tacky Glue this one is great for projects with kids, and finally #6 the Multi Medium Matte glue which is also great and  very strong. 

You can find almost all of this adhesives at the Craftin Desert Divas shop, so you can include them on your cart when you shop and the prize point is great!!   Now for the  card I used two distress ink colors Wilted Violet and Spiced Marmalade with water splashes.  I die cut in black cardstock the spooky border from the  Harvest Border Dies and the path from the Scene Builder Dies, I then cut the house, the trees and the tombstones so I could  glue them to the hill border following the hill curve, to glue this very thin dies I used the Quickie glue pen.

I added the moon and the cute and spooky troll from Frightfully Sweet which is ready to trick or treat in that spooky house!!! I finally add the sentiment with the Flag Banner Dies and the Fall Harvest Sequins.

I hope you find this top 6 adhesive tips helpful and you can also be inspired to create some cute and spooky Halloween cards or projects!

Have a Spooktacular Day!!!

Trick or Treat Newton's Nook Guest Designer

Hello Friends, Waleska here from craftinglovew with another halloween card. (I told you I am a HUGE Halloween fan) I used our friend Newton in different costumes for a fun Trick or Treat scene.

CARD DETAILS:

For the background  of my card today I used oxide inks, and because they blend so well you can almost mix any colors beautifully.  My secret is to start with the lightest color so you don't contaminate your blending tools and get a smoother look, so I started with Spiced Marmalade Oxide Ink at the bottom and Seedless Preserves Oxide Ink for the up part.  In the middle where the two colors meet all you have to do is splash some water and it would look awesome!!! I traced and cut a hill, I sponge it with Peeled Paint Oxide Ink and adhere it to my card base to be the ground for my scene.

I glue the house silhouette and also the moon.  To  make the moon I sponge a circle die cut with Pumice Stone regular distress ink and splash some water with a distress sprayer.  To add more texture you can also sprayed  it with some shimmer.

I finally stamped and color the witch cat from the Newton´s Boo-tiful Night and the Newton from

Newton´s Costume Party and added the Mask so he can also be dressed up for halloween.  I stamped 3 bats with Versafine Onyx Black ink for a more spooky feel and added the sentiment from the Spooky Skeletons set.

I love to mix sets to create cards and Newton's Nook stamps are great to do that!!! I hope you liked my card today!  

Have a Spook-tacular Day!!

Spooky Halloween Decoration

Hello Friends Waleska from craftinglovew here... I am so excited to be Newton's Nook October Guest Designer thank you so much for inviting me. I first have to admit I am a Halloween lover so this past Newton release was just too awesome and perfect for me, I am using a lot of the new stamps and I am having so much fun with them.

CARD DETAILS: 

For my first card I used almost all of the stamps from the Spooky Skeletons. I love to create little scenes on my cards, so the idea for this one was a very Spooky Halloween Decoration. I first stamped the skeletons in Onyx Black Versafine ink and put Black Sparkle embossing powder to have shinning Spooky Skeletons!!! I cut them and set them aside to make the background.

For the background I used Spiced Marmalade Oxide ink and some water splashes.  I also sponged the edges with Walnut Stain regular Distress Ink to give the card a more spooky feel. I stamped in the center of the card the amazing frame or mirror (you can use it for both) from Creepy Cameos with Versafine Onyx ink and  also put Black Sparkle embossing powder to unify the sparkle vibe on my card.  I create the inside part of the frame by cutting an oval from gray cardstock.

I finally cut a strip of gray cardstock and sponge it with Walnut Stain Distress ink to create the shelf for all the Halloween Spooky Decor and raised all the images with 3D foam... What do you think? Creepy enough? I just wish I have this awesome skeletons to actually decor my living room like this...  I hope you like my card and get some inspiration to start creating halloween cards.  

Have a Spooktacular Day!
