Got It? Haunt It!

Well here we are in October already! That means the Stampendous Design Team is sharing a lot of "Spook-tacular" ideas with you every day this month! Check out all the details over at the Stampendous Blog.

Our weekly theme is "Got It? Haunt It!" and we're showcasing many of the great Halloween stamps and stencils that were featured in the Stampendous July 2015 catalog. Here's what I'm flaunting for you today:

"Haunting by Moonlight!"

I had so much fun creating this little scene. It was easy with the wonderful Stampendous Spooky House set (SSC1229)! This set contains everything you need to stamp a spooky Halloween scene.

Instructions:

1. step 1 Fold a 6" x 10" piece of Lavender cardstock in half to form a top fold card
2. step 2 Stamp the spooky house stamp near the right side of a 3 3/4" x 4 3/4" piece of cream cardstock, then stamp it again on a post-it-note and cut it out for a mask
3. step 3 Place the mask over the house and stamp the ghosts
4. step 4 Stamp the moon, fence pieces, cat and tombstones, then stamp the branch with the owl on the left edge of the scene, stamp the owl on a post-it-note, cut it out, place it over the owl and stamp more branch tips, stamp the two little jack-o-lanterns on a scrap piece of cream paper, oh, and don't forget a little of the spruce tree stamped on the right edge!
5. step 5 Color the scene however you want, I used Copic markers to create my moonlit scene, edge with a black marker
6. step 6 Mat the scene on a 4" x 5" piece of Lavender cardstock
7. step 7 Stamp the saying from the set on a 1 3/8" x 2" piece of cream cardstock, color to match the background of the scene and edge with a black marker
8. step 8 Mat the saying on a 1 1/2" x 2 1/8" piece of Lavender cardstock also edged with black
9. step 9 Edge a 4 5/8" x 5 5/8" piece of the patterned orange paper with a black marker and adhere to the card front
10. step 10 Adhere the spooky house scent to the center of the orange layer
11. step 11 Cut out the two little pumpkins, edge with an orange marker, use mini glue dots to attach one to the house scene and one to the saying
12. step 12 Use foam tape to add the sentiment

But wait, there was no sentiment on picture I showed you! That's because I couldn't decide where to put it because I loved the house scene, so I'm going to let YOU decide! Leave me a comment with which placement you like the best!
