This first card is by Rina K!

Rina said "Here is my Halloween Card using Sideshow Stamps! I stamped "Graveyard"stamp as a background and rubbed dark color inks & stickles on it. I love "Spooky Ghost" stamp very much:) Isn't it cute? Stamps: Graveyard, Spooky Ghost, Owl Border(Sideshow Stamps) Ink: Archival Ink (jet black)/Coloring with Copic markers."

These next two cards are by Lisa F! She said "for today i have a very cute owl from sideshow stamps! i build up my atc by first stamping 'paisley background'. i punched out a piece of owl paper and ran it through a textured thing. i punched out 2 butterflies from ms, and ran them through the thingy. the owl was colored with copics. i love this owl, he's so cute!"

This card is also by Lisa F. She used our coy fairy rubber stamp.

These next crafts are by Rebecca J! She said "This week I used the Pinstripped Black Widow from Sideshow Stamps...I love how creepy this spider is! I thought it would be fun to pair with with some cutesy twine....and a glittery web effect. For this project, I used metallic silver embossing powder (American Crafts) cut my stamped image and adhered it with a foam tab (American Crafts). To create the glittery web I sprayed my black card stock with stick and spray (CC International) and then sprinkled it with bridal embossing tinsel (Ranger). I also inked the edges of the purple card stock with basic black ink (Stampin' Up). To finish it off I tied a bow using orange and white bakers twine. The wooden blocks are recycled Stampin' Up wood mounts for stamps that I converted to clear mounts. "



"I also used the Pinstripped black widow to create this quick and easy Halloween card using card stock scraps, white pigment ink (Pamass) and my printer..."

Customer Art - Spooky Halloween ATC's!

Both of these Creepy Halloween ATC's are by Kristin Hubick

Check out her super cool blog! And she has a really neat store too:

http://www.retrocafeart.com/

"Boo", on the top, was made with our Calavera with Heart stamp. Kristin says..."Using Modge Podge I secured scrapbooking paper to a playing card. After stamping the background, and stenciling several layers of paint, I attached vintage images. I stamped the skulls onto regular paper, cut them out, and colored the hearts with prismacolor colored pencils. I inked the edges of the card and sealed with Modge Podge. Finally I attached vintage game pieces with E6000 to spell the word "boo"."

"Halloween Party", on the bottom, was made with our Calavera with Heart and Pinstriped Black Widow stamps. "Using Modge Podge I secured scrapbooking paper to a playing card. After stamping the background, I attached several vintage images. I stamped the skull onto regular paper, cut him out, and colored the heart with prismacolor colored pencils. I inked the edges of the card and sealed with Modge Podge."

Happy Halloween!!! And thanks for sending us your beautiful art Kristin!
