Wow! Halloween Scenic cards with Life is Beautiful stamp set with video!

I am pretty pleased of these two cards I shared on Facebook Live yesterday.  I've been wanting to make some spooky Halloween cards with my Life is Beautiful stamp set and think they turned out amazing, IF I do say so myself!  

Save

This first one features a bright, white moon with a halo of purple around it.  I used a 2" circle punched 'mask' and sponged the Rich Razzleberry and Pacific Point background.  You can get my easy sponging tips in the video below.

Here I created a window scene with the Stitched Rectangle and Plaid Builder dies.  I share my quick method of creating this window in the video below. 

Save

I LOVE creating scenes with sponged backgrounds and the Life is Beautiful stamp set is perfect for it!  I used the following inks on the card above: Pacific Point, Rich Razzleberry, Black, Craft White and Pretty Peacock. 

Do you like the White clouds?  I used the same image on the ground as I did on the clouds.  Love the versatility of this stamp! The pumpkins and greeting are from the Banner Year stamp set. 

Save

The colors above are Smoky Slate, Black and Pumpkin Pie.  I used a bit of Magic in This Night DSP, the Cobweb embossing folder and Plaid Builder, Stitched Rectangles and Ornate Frames dies.  The little birds are from the Mountain View stamp set. 

I hope you enjoy watching the video below!

  May 7, 2025

  Here's another pretty card I made on last week's Live video: 

  Save

  Most of this card is made with the Florals in Bloom designer paper.  Both large pieces of DSP and the small flowers & leaves are fussy cut from it.  The large flower is die-cut from this DSP using the Pretty Florals dies. See the bundle here. 

  Save

  My colors include Petunia Pop with Secret Sea and White. 

  Which card do you prefer?

  I didn't create a project sheet for this card so I'll share the measurements here.

  • Card base 4 1/4" X 11" score/fold at 5 1/2"
  • DSP on the left 3" X 4 1/4"; DSP on the right 2 1/2" X 5"
  • White circle die-cut 3" X 3 7/8" (Spotlight on Nature dies) 
  • diagonal strip 6" X 1 1/8" 

  During the video I shared another neat card using the Florals in Bloom suite.  Check it out here.
