Hallows Night Magic Card
The Magic in this Night designer paper makes a beautiful Halloween card using the Hallows Night Magic stamp set and coordinating dies. Actually, I love this whole Magic in This Night suite.
Here is a close up and a version using a different piece of this designer paper.
I’ve been using the Metallic Mesh Ribbon on everything! It makes great Christmas cards too. And, don’t get me started on the Iridescent Pearls! They are absolutely amazing in person.
If you’re not on my Newsletter mailing list, now is a good time to join…I’m currently doing my 12 weeks of Christmas emails…one free tutorial each week including Christmas cards, gifts, and tags or bags. These projects are exclusive to my Newsletter email list. The 2nd week’s email goes out this afternoon.
Colors: Basic Black, Whisper White, Pretty Peacock, Silver

Joseph’s Coat with Arrange a Wreath
Joseph’s Coat technique is just perfect with the Arrange a Wreath stamp set. Happy Fall y’all! Here’s the Fall card I did for my club this month using the Joseph’s Coat technique.
Three steps are needed for this technique. First, sponge or watercolor some Fall colors on Whisper White or watercolor paper. Then, stamp solid image stamps in VersaMark embossed with clear embossing powder. Lastly, brayer dark ink like Early Espresso (in this case) over the entire piece. Also, wipe off the embossed images with a tissue or paper towel to wipe away excess ink. I used reinkers in a plate to smash watercolor paper into for the watercolor background under my leaves and wreath. Make sure you spritz the watercolor paper with water first. Also spritz the drops in the plate with some water.
Here is the technique page we did for our club technique books.
Everyone loved the card. I don’t usually use Mango Melody as a Fall color, but I love how bright and happy it is.
Colors: Mango Melody, Cajun Craze, Early Espresso, Pumpkin Pie, Crushed Curry, Whisper White

Halloween Framed Shadow Box Sampler
At our Labor Day Retreat, I designed this Halloween framed shadow box sampler to show off the Magic in This Night Suite. I bought the frame in May, to do a Spring sampler, but didn’t get to it yet. So, I decided to make it a Halloween one. I’m in love with the Magic in This Night designer series paper in the current mini catalog since it’s so stylish and diverse. Most of the sheets are Halloween designs on one side and generic designs for any season on the other side.
Since it’s such pretty paper, I used the designer paper in all the sections except the silver spider web which is silver foil embossed with the Cobwebs 3D embossing folder. Also, I’m also loving the Metallic Mesh Ribbon, and have used it on several Christmas cards.
And, here’s another close up. Since I used black and darker card stock, I also used Black Dimensionals which are perfect for all these bats and spiders because the dimensionals are less visible from an angle.
Also, I used Wink of Stella on the “Halloween” word to make it sparkle since so many of the elements are shiny and glittery. Something else cool about this frame is that it’s magnetic! So, I can pull these out and create a sampler for every holiday or season…how cool is that?
Therefore, I taped some magnets on the back side so they’re easy to pull on and off. These are business card magnets (just because I had some on hand), but you could also cut up the magnets meant for the back of 4×6 photos.
Colors: Blackberry Bliss, Cajun Craze, Pretty Peacock, Basic Black, Silver, Whisper White
Just a note, if you have black embossing powder (retired), use that or you can stamp in black using the stamparatus and then stamp again in VersaMark right on top of it to emboss with clear embossing powder for the same effect.
Since I know you’re going to ask, I got the frame on Amazon. It was called Foundations Decor Shadow Box Magnetic by Foundations Decor.
