Hello, MarkerPOP friends! Halloween is next month. Are your kids getting excited? I have one that has his costume all planned out and two that will wait to the last minute!

Have you heard of Elizabeth Craft Designs stamp company? They are one of the newest brands now available in the MarkerPOP store.

Today, I am using their Halloween stamp set on my card:

I stamped a few of the designs onto watercolor cardstock and colored in using ZIG Clean Color markers. Once the images were dry, I used the coordinating dies to cut out the image. The next step is to create an A2 card out of watercolor cardstock. On the front of the card, I stamped the gravestone image. I used the ZIGs again to color in the image. I extended the grass on both sides of the image. The sentiment is stamped below the grass. I wanted to include a moon and some stars. The moon is colored in by hand. The stars are from a cluster stamp from the My Favorite Things Somebunny I Love stamp set. The die cut images are attached using foam tape.

I used the following ZIG Clean Color markers on today’s project:

022, 024, 070, 052, 046, 047, 035, 094, 010, 095

Thank you for stopping by! Have a wonderful day!

Hi everyone.. It’s Holly here today! Halloween is just around the corner and I’m loving all the fun Halloween and Fall sets that have been released this year. It makes it really hard to pick a Favorite! Today I’m using the My Favorite Things Frightful Friends and Grave Situation stamp sets.

I started out by cutting two pieces of Neenah Solar White cardstock to 4 1/4 x 5 1/2. Then I die cut one panel using the Pizzaz Pieces Creative Cuts die set from Mama Elephant. I lined the die cut panel up with the other panel and made some pencils marks inside the circle window. Then using some Distress inks in Squeezed Lemonade, Dusty Concord and Spiced Marmalade I created a background for the window opening. Once the Distress inks were dry I stamped the Fence and Bat images from the Frightful Friends set using some VersaFine Onyx Black ink. I added some Foam tape to the back of the window panel and adhered it over the Distressed panel. Then I adhered both panels to a Black top folding card base.

I stamped the Vampire, Bat and Grass images from Frightful Friends and the Gravestones from Grave Situation sets onto some White cardstock using Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored them in with Copics. Then I die cut them using the coordinating die sets and my Big Shot. I adhered them with liquid glue and foam tape.

I stamped the sentiment from Frightful Friends onto a piece of White cardstock in VersaFine Onyx Black ink and die cut it using the Avery Elle Pierced Banners Die set. Then I adhered it just behind the Vampire image with some additional Foam tape. I wanted a little extra highlight so I added some white with a White Gel Pen. Super Cute!!

I used the following Copic Sketch Markers:

Vampire: (Cap & Boots) R29, R17, R39, Y23, Y28 (Shirt) C1,C00 (eyes) B00,B000 (Suit) C8,C6, C4, C1 (Skin) E000, E00,E51, E53 (Hair)T8, T6, T5,T3 (Grave Stones) W0,W2,W4,W6, W8 (Grass) YG09,G07,G28.

Happy Halloween, Crafters! Or should I say Happy Meowlloween?! It’s Valerie here today, and my project is a set of tags that can also be made into cards, using fun Mama Elephant products!

I used these Mama Elephant goodies to make these cards & tags:

• Meowlloween stamp set & coordinating die set
• Meowlloween Extras stamp set & coordinating die set
• Happy Script die
• Basic die set

All the cute papers come from the Doodlebug 6×6 October 31st paper pad, and the sequins are all from Pretty Pink Posh (colors listed in Supply List at bottom). The twine is Lawn Fawn’s Tangerine Hemp Twine. 

The images are all stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto X-Press It Blending Card Paper, and colored with Copic Sketch markers.

As you can imagine, I had a blast making these. It’s a little late for this year, but I have a good start on my Halloween cards for next year!

Have a wonderful weekend, Happy Halloween, and Happy Crafting!
