Too Cute to Spook Cards with Marie and Marine

Hello Crafty Friends, Marie here! I am super excited to share this card with you today because it features my most favorite holiday of the whole entire year, Halloween! This card features the adorable stamp set Too Cute To Spook, as well as the Fall Scenes stamps. 

For this project, I start off by die cutting an A2 sized panel from watercolor paper (this panel is where I stamp my haunted house/fall scene image).  I stamp all my images using Distress Ink in "Antique Linen". I then proceed to water color my images using Derwent Inktense Pencils.  I then die cut all the images using the Too Cute to Spook corresponding dies and the Fall Scenes corresponding dies.

After coloring my images, I die cut my A2 Background panel using bristol smooth cardstock, and a scalloped rectangle panel in Neenah solar white 110 lb cardstock as my base. 

I inked up my background using Distress Oxide in "Shabby Shutters" then going to a darker green in Distress ink "Rustic Wilderness" and finally to Make the edges super dark, I used Black soot Distress ink. I also embossed my sentiment and bats using black embossing powder. 

I proceeded to adhere my A2 background to my scalloped base and attached all my critters and pumpkins. I wanted to give the trick or treaters a Hocus Pocus vibe by adding some matching rhinestone embellishments from Sunny Studio. I love how just adding embellishments just makes a card come to life. 

I hope you were inspired to create some Spooktacular Halloween cards for all your friends and loved ones this year! Until next time, Happy Crafting!!!

Hello crafty friends! Marine here, back with some spooky cute inspiration showcasing the brand new Too cute to spook stamp set, super adorable with fun critters all dressed up to go trick or treating in the neighborhood. Love their happy faces and fun costumes! This set includes everything you need to create a sweet and spooky little scene.

I first started by stamping my images using an alcohol marker friendly black ink: three critters, the house, some dead trees and pumpkins, as well as two cute spiders and spider webs. I cut them all using the coordinating dies, and then colored everything using my alcohol markers.

Next I cut all the different pieces to build my pop-up card. I went with black mostly, and embossed my "Happy Halloween" sentiment from Too cute to spook in silver on the foreground element. I cut the grass borders out of dark green cardstock, and created a night sky using blueprint sketch, chipped sapphire and black soot oxide inks. 

I assembled all those pieces to build the card base, and then I attached all my cute images on the grass borders using 3mm glue dots. I also wanted a couple of bats to fly in the sky, so I attached them on thin strips of acetate, and finally stuck those strips inside the box, using glue dots again.

And that's it! I hope that you like this adorable and spooky little scene. As always, feel welcome to watch the process video (click on the image above) for more details and information about this pop-up card. Thank you so much for stopping by and see you next week!
