I love these spooky cute ghosts in the Playful Ghosts Cling Stamp Set! Don’t look for them in any Stampin’ Up! catalog because it’s an Online Exclusive product. Want more details about this stamp set, click on this product in the Product Table below in this post. You’ll also learn about the quality of Stampin’ Up!’s red rubber cling mounts. By the way, I normally always use a stamping tool and sometimes I forget to include the suggested Clear Blocks for stamping these stamps. I did not forget today!
Getting Started
As usual I started with this weeks Card Sketch #6 and picked out my stamp set, Playful Ghosts Cling Stamp Set. This one is pretty simple and even stepping it up and beyond is really simple. I have a basic, a stepped up, and an avid card to share today.
Basic Card Layout
My card is VERY BASIC but it’s still cute. I used Playful Ghosts Cling Stamp Set (Online Exclusive), some cardstock, and Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. If you’re just starting out, you really don’t need a lot of supplies to make cards. I have a retired 2-1/2″ Circle Punch but I included the Stylish Shapes Dies in the Product Table below, which has a lot of options to use for your crafting needs!
You decide how you want your card. Keep it simple, step it up a bit, or even add more layers and elements while using only one card layout. Although I used very little supplies and kept it simple, I like how my basic card turned out.
Stepped Up Layout
Stepping up your card means to add just a little bit more of something to make it a bit more special in some way. In this case, I added some Glossy Dots that are Gorgeous Grape. Be sure to check this embellishment package out! They are adhesive backed embellishments that come in three sizes and has the following colors: Daffodil Delight, Gorgeous Grape, Melon Mambo, and Pool Party. They are shiny and beautiful and adds a finishing touch to my card.
Avid Layout
I’m loving my spooky Dracula ghost! I used the following Stampin’ Write Markers to color the costume: Basic Black, Pumpkin Pie, Gorgeous Grape, and Smokey Slate for the inner ear. By the way, the Smokey Slate is in the Neutrals Marker Assortment pack and not in the Product Table. Click HERE for that product. I wish they would sale these separately but they don’t, unfortunately.
Lastly I reached for one of my favorite things to add when possible, Clear Wink of Stella! I gave the Dracula Cape some sparkle as well as the bats. I could’ve used Black Embossing Powder and VersaMark to heat emboss the bats when stamping them but I wanted to add sparkle to my card. I hope you like my Dracula Ghost card!
