Mornin’, y’all! I’ve got two projects to share with you today! This one is for the Stamp Ink Paper challenge this week! Come back in an hour or so and check out my card for the Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop!
This week’s Stamp Ink Paper challenge was a color challenge and I used the Spooky Cat stamp set and matching Cat Punch, plus some Spooky Night DSP. Take a look-see:
Can you guess the colors? Check out the badge for the Stamp Ink Paper #120 challenge. Be sure to stop by the blog site to see what the other Design Team members have created and to play along, too! Can’t wait to see what y’all create! 🙂
I sort of loosely borrowed my layout from the MFT Card Challenge:
I started with a fun design from the Spooky Night DSP and matted it on a piece of Lemon Lime Twist card stock for the card front. I cut a Foil Snowflake in half (-ish!) and adhered it with Liquid Glue – with the Very Vanilla side up. Then I wrapped a length of Basic Black 3/8″ Shimmer Ribbon around it, securing it in the back with scotch tape.
Next I cut a large Stitched Shapes Framelits die circle from Very Vanilla and a Lemon Lime Twist scalloped mat using the Circles Layering Framelits.
Using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink, I stamped the little three-beaker image from the Spooky Cat stamp set three times across the bottom of the Stitched Shapes circle. Then I stamped the “liquid” and bubbles into each beaker. I used Lemon Lime Twist, Pumpkin Pie and Peekaboo Peach inks. Then I added the sentiment in Pumpkin Pie.
I adhered the sentiment circle to its mat with Liquid Glue and then adhered it to the card front with a little more Glue.
On a piece of scrap Very Vanilla card stock, I stamped the sentiment-filled cat image from Spooky Cat in Tuxedo Black ink and punched it out with the matching Cat Punch. I used my Lemon Lime Twist Stampin’ Write Marker to edge the shape and then popped him on with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
One large Black Rhinestone Jewel finished off the card front!
On the inside, I stamped the Spooky Cat witch’s hat in Tuxedo Black ink and colored the buckle with my Lemon Lime Twist Marker. I also added another Black Rhinestone Jewel. Who says you can’t have a jewel inside the card??!
I Fast Fuse’d the panel to a Lemon Lime Twist mat and into my Basic Black card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals, and the card was done!
My Very Vanilla Medium Envelope got another Spooky Cat witch’s hat in Tuxedo Black and Lemon Lime Twist on the front…
…and a touch more of the Spooky Night DSP on the envelope flap.
Et Voila! A mad scientist Halloween cat?!? It could happen! This Spooky Cat bundle – with the Cat Punch – is so cute and fun. Nothing scary about it, really! Hope you like!

That’s awesome Mary! The spooky cat with his potions is perfect for Halloween. Fun design too! 🙂
Thanks so much, Amy! Appreciate you more than you know! 🙂
Your card is worthy of entering it in the What Will You Stamp challenge today too 🙂 Finn is so cute with his paw on the edge. Can’t wait to start hopping!
I know – it’s one of my favorite pictures of him! Thanks so much, Karen! 🙂
Such a cute card! As usual, you rise to the top. Finn looks like he misses Mom (I know, it”s an old photo, but appropriate for the time)
Well – I know his mom is missing HIM! 🙁 Thanks so much, Julie! 🙂
Fun card!
Thanks, Mom.
So fun for a Halloween card. Love the hat on the inside, too. Great job with your color challenge 🙂
Thank you, Jari! 🙂
Design Team–Wahoo! Very worthy! Love your use of the potion paper–I would have no idea what to do with that! Totally cute card.
Thanks, Susan! It wasn’t the easiest paper for me, either, but…I think it worked on this one! 🙂
What a fun card. Love that cat and those cute bottles across the bottom of the circle. Great job Mary
Thanks much, Kristi! 🙂
Love that pop of green, Mary!
