Stamping Bella Littles Haunted House & Squidgy Trick or Treaters Digi Stamp Sets

Hello friends!  

I hope you are all well and this week is being kind to you!

 

I'm back again to show you another super digital stamp set from fabulous Stamping Bella!

Oh my word - it is so exciting to be creating cards for my favourite time -  spooky season!

I am so looking forward to Autumn.  

We have had a very long, overly hot and gruelling summer here with temperatures in the mid thirties and it has been quite unbearable!

September cannot come quickly enough!

Anyways - todays card!...

I had such a lovely time creating and colouring this!

It is so easy to create scenes with these beautiful Stamping Bella digi stamps!  No more stamping, masking and fussy cutting (which I do not enjoy one bit)!  You can also manipulate and resize the images to create your design!

Our Queen of Halloween! - Whimsy Stamps Blog Hop

 Hello ghoulfiends! (;

The Halloween weekend is very special for our very own Whimsy Stamps Queen of Halloween -

Deb Davis (Amped2Stamp) (Whimsy Stamps Creative Director)

Deb and her family were caught in Hurricane Ian and it is taking some time for them to get back to any sort of normal life.  They are sadly still without some amenities.

This means, along with daily trials she can do without, our dear Deb has not been able to celebrate her favourite season - Halloween!

At Whimsy Stamps we thought we would do a little something for Deb to remind her how much she means to us and to help brighten the day! - (which as we are celebrating Halloween should probably be 'darken the day' but you know what I mean)!

We are having a Halloween blog hop, supported by Whimsy Stamps and the Creative Team.

There is a $100 voucher for one lucky winner so check out the blog hop entry requirements carefully at the end of this post!

I decided to mix up some bats and dragons - the story I made up in my mind being that once a year on Halloween they are dancing together in the night sky to celebrate the spookiest night of the year!

...an update from Denise, lovely owner of Whimsy Stamps...

Whimsy Stamps is located in Southwest, FL which was just hit by Hurricane Ian. Owner, Denise, and her family in Punta Gorda as well as creative director, Deb, and her family in Cape Coral are all okay and safe. Their homes are live-able but did sustain damaged. There is currently no power, water, or internet service, and cell reception is spotty. They would like to thank all of those customers who have reached out expressing their concern and prayers. It’s means a great deal to feel their support. 

The communities of Punta Gorda and Cape Coral, as well as many others in Southwest, FL, have been completely devastated by this powerful hurricane. There truly is no way to describe the severity of the destruction and turmoil this disaster has created for so many.  Some people have lost everything and these communities have only limited access to basic necessities. It will be many weeks and months before these communities are fully recovered, rebuilt, and back to normal. Denise and Deb consider themselves to be extremely lucky to have suffered only moderate property loss and to be safe at home with their loved ones. 

Fortunately, the Whimsy Stamps Boutique and Warehouse only sustained minimal damage. It remains closed until all services are restored and we are able to safely operate. The online website will remain open and customers may continue to shop. Every order our customers place greatly helps to keep our business going and to support our employees and their families.  We ask for your patience and understanding as order processing and shipping may be delayed. We are assessing on a day-to-day basis and will do our best to get fully back up and running as soon as possible.

Although, we have decided to cancel our annual 31 Nights of Halloween event, our October Releases will go live as scheduled.  We hope you will enjoy the new products our team has worked hard designing for you. Customers may purchase only through the website as our boutique will be closed for at least the next couple of weeks. 

We have many customers and friends in various communities here in Southwest Florida, our hearts and prayers go out to them as well as all those affected by terrible hurricane. We thank you all for your continued support.

Slimline Pocket Die - Whimsy Stamps

 Hello friends,

I have been having an inky play with a new Whimsy Stamps goodie!

Slimline Pocket Die by Denise Lynn and Deb Davis (Amped2Stamp)

I have had a chuckle to myself about this card!  They do say always check your pockets - which reminded me of doing just that before I put the boys' trousers in the wash when they were little! - There was always a surprise in there!

I blended Distress Oxides in Mustard Seed, Carved Pumpkin, Seedless Preserves and Black Soot over a piece of Strathmore Multi Media Card.  I sprayed the card with water and mica powder and die cut it with the

Slimline Pocket Die

and 

Array of Rainbows Die

I fixed the die cuts to a piece of Black Sparkle Card and added black spooky die cuts from

Boo Die Set

Dracula Going Batty Die Set

Dracula's Coffin Die Set

Spooky Large Word Die

Finally I stamped a sentiment from the 

Halloweeners Clear Stamp Set

onto a tag from the 

Bookmark and Tags Die Set

which I cut down to fix to the top of the pocket.

A little note about the papers I used - I have had them for eons and they were gift - I have no idea who designed them - however, cobwebs and stars are pretty standard for Halloween papers so hopefully if you wanted to, you could find something similar!
