Simon Says Stamp | I Love You So Much It’s Spooky

This Summer has been excruciatingly hot and I cannot wait for some cooler weather. I am really looking forward to Fall and Halloween! I was organizing the stamps in my craft room over the weekend and came across Simon’s The Boo Crew set. Somehow I’ve never used this set, so I was eager to pull it out and play.

CARD DETAILS

I am not a fan of the traditional orange and purple colors for Halloween. I went with a pink, yellow, orange, blue, and green combo to make a cheerful Halloween card. I love that it ended up being bright and colorful.

STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS:

• Stamp The Boo Crew images in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto Simon’s 120lb cardstock using mini MISTI. Keep stamps in the MISTI to be able to re-stamp them later.
• Color using Copic markers:
  • YG03, YG01;
  • C9, C7, C5, C3, C1;
  • RV00, RV10, RV11;
  • E000, E00;
  • R20;
  • Y11, Y17, YR15, YR18.
• Place colored images back inside the MISTI and re-stamp outlines in VersaFine Onyx Black ink. Cover with Clear embossing powder, heat set.
• Cut images out using coordinating dies.
• Using Spellbinders Color Blocks Slices die (small) cut slices from Simon’s 120LB cardstock. Add color to each slice using Distress Oxide inks and Simon’s Blending Brushes. I used the following colors: Peacock Feathers, Salvaged Patina, Twisted Citron, Mustard Seed, Dried Marigold, Festive Berries, Abandoned Coral, Spun Sugar.
• Adhere slices to white cardstock panel, leave small gaps between slices. Trim panel to 3 1/2 x 4 3/4″, foam mount to A2 white top folding card base.
• Foam mount images on top creating a scene.
• White heat emboss the sentiment on Black Pearlescent cardstock, cut out using a banner die, foam mount.
• Embellish card with Silver Mix gems from Spellbinders.
