A "Spooky" Cute Witch

Today's LSS post is a fun layout using the Cute Witch digistamp from the Cute Halloween Stamp Set at Lindsay's Stamp Stuff, and some Halloween cuts from the Paper Doll Dress Up Cricut cartridge.
For the photo mat, I crumpled purple cardstock and rubbed my black and white chalk inks over it for a cool look, smoothed it out, gave it a little time to dry, then flattened it with an iron. For the page background, I took dark gray cardstock and dabbed white chalk ink over it for a textured, sort of smoky look. I tore black cardstock and layered it for the ground, again inking the edges with white chalk ink.I added some spooky black trees and a black cat from the Paper Doll Dress Up cart, and added a rhinestone spider web over the corner of the photo. I added a title block cut out of some green patterned paper from GCD Studios that reminded me of reptile skin, using a cut from the Storybook Cricut Cartridge, and inked the edges with a charcoal chalk ink pad. I added the title, "Spooky Witch", accented it with a little metal witches hat that I have had leftover in my stash FOREVER, then on the other side, topped it of with a vinyl black Thickers flourish, and some black and gray primas, with two tiny green bat shaped brads by Making Memories.

Halloween with Lindsay's Stamp Stuff (and the Cricut)

It's a Halloween "Spooktacular" with us at Lindsay's Stamp Stuff this week! I made this cool Halloween centerpiece- out of an old ice cream tub! I saved it, washed it out, and stuffed it full of crumpled newspaper, then spray painted it black with some extremely cheap (less than a dollar) black spray paint, and streaked a little white through the newspaper for a more spooky, dimensional look. I colored and hand cut The Haunted House digistamp and a Cute Witch digistamp, both from Lindsay's Stamp Stuff,the Cute Halloween Set ,and then I used my Cricut and the Paper Doll Dress Up cart to cut the Spooky Trees, Black Cat, Spiderweb, and the Adorable ghost that is peeking out from behind the Haunted House. I layered a couple of ribbons, and added some Harry the Spider digistamps(also in this set) that I colored and flocked the legs, and also some silver glitter Lightning Bolt cuts from the Indie Art cartridge.
Here's a peek at the super cool stuff Lindsay has added to the shop this week:

Jan 18: Today's picture is of a card I made for one of the twins' friends' birthday party. I used papers from the Princess Collection by Hot Off The Press, and I cut the rosebuds and tag with my Cricut, using Paper Doll Dress Up and Plantain Schoolbook. To make it special, I added Diamond Stickles to the red part of the flower, and green Stickles to the stems.
