One Stamp, Five Ways: My Boo
Hi friend! Please join me in welcoming back special monthly guest Suzy Plantamura with another fun rendition of “One Stamp, Five Ways” featuring our newly released My Boo set! Read on and learn more! Enjoy!
Hello friends! It’s Halloween today so I decided to use the cutest Halloween stamp set ever created for my “one stamp, five ways” post today called My Boo. I’m not a fan of scary Halloween so this darling set was perfect for cute cards! Here are my five cards I’ve made to share with you today.
For the background of this card, I reached into my Halloween product bin and pulled out the Cute Ghosts Embossing Folder. I embossed it with white cardstock and then added some outlines to each ghost with a fine tip black marker. I used Copics to add cheeks and some gray shading.
I stamped the frame, the ghost with his hands up, the hat, and the word boo with Versafine Ink. I coloerd them all in with Copics. I attached them over the background. I added the Little Boo Die over the ghost.
I die-cut the Twisted Tree Arch Die from white cardstock and colored it with a black Copic (I should have just cut it out of black cardstock!). I made the background of the card with Tim Holtz Watercolor Paper and applied Nuvo Shimmer Powders. I used Meteorite Shower for the sky and Storm Cloud for the ground. I flicked lots of the SSS Opaque White Splatter over the background. I attached the tree over it.
I stamped several of the stars and three of the ghosts from the stamp set with Versafine black ink. I added some gray shading and cheeks to each ghost and die-cut them out. I colored the stars with a silver Uniball gel pen. I put stars in two of the ghosts hands. I attached three ghosts to the front of the tree and the other stars around the background. I stamped the large BOO and Happy Halloween greetings using the CZ Design Basic Halloween stamp set and die-cut them out with the matching dies. I added these greetings to the bottom right side of the tree.
This was my favorite card of the 5. I used an embossing folder released a couple years ago called the Halloween House Embossing Folder and Cutting Dies. I colored the sky and ground first with Copics. I then colored the house in bright pinks (because why not?!!!) and glued it over the background.
I stamped three of the bats and some stars and a heart from the stamp set with black ink. I added some shading and cheeks with Copics. The good news is ghosts don’t take a long time to color! I arranged them over the house. I stamped a sentiment from the CZ Design Halloween Basics stamp and die bundle with black ink and added it to the center of the card.
I went with my “random stamping technique for this card. I stamped several of the ghost images in the stamp set over a piece of white cardstock with black ink. I colored around them with a black Copic. I added some orange and pink shading on them with Copics (because again, why not haha!).
I stamped another one of the ghosts with his/her hands up and colored “it” the same way. I attached it over my ghost in the center with foam tape behind it. I stamped a sentiment from the stamp set with black ink and fussy cut it out. I glued that over the center of the ghost. I used some white Nuvo Drops around the background.
I embossed the new Dotted Spiral Embossing Folder for the background. I die-cut the Layered Pumpkin Dies and colored them with Copics. I glued the big pumpkin over the bottom center of the card. I die-cut the Trick or Treat 2 die three times from white cardstock and glued them together for depth. I glued them over the top right side of the large pumpkin.
I stamped the ghost with the pumpkin and a hat from the stamp set with black ink and colored them with Copics. I attached him over the bottom of the large pumpkin with foam tape behind him. I die-cut three of the EZ Strips Halloween and Reverse Halloween Sentiment Strips with the new EZ Strips Rounded Rectangle Dies. I added one below the trick or treat and two others to the top of the card. I have never used four greetings on one card before haha!
I hope these 5 cards using the My Boo stamp and die bundle have gotten you in the mood for Halloween night! Maybe I even motivated you to dress up like a ghost! This cute little stamp set was so fun to make my type of cutesy Halloween cards! Thanks so much for visiting the SSS blog today! Suzy

Cozy Just Because Card Idea featuring NEW Lawn Fawn!
Hi friend! Happy Monday! I have the most adorable autumn card idea to share with you by the fabulously talented Lawn Fawn team member, Elise Constable! Read on and enjoy!
Hi friends! I’m excited to be back again to share a cute fall card with you all today! Lawn Fawn has so many cute images that are perfect to mix and match to create cards for every season.
For this card, I started by stamping the cats, yarn, and speech bubble from the Cozy Cats stamp set and the pumpkins from the Happy Harvest stamp set onto white cardstock. I colored the images with Copic markers, added some highlights with a white gel pen, and then used the coordinating die to cut them out. I wanted to stick with fall colors, so I used reds, oranges, yellows, and teals to help the images coordinate together.
Once the images were cut out, I started working on the “polaroid” frames. I die cut the frames from the Selfie Frames die set from white cardstock, and then added patterned paper behind the frames. The paper that I used is from the Favorite Flannel Fall paper pack, which is perfect for fall cards! After creating the frames, I arranged the cats, yarn, pumpkins, and speech bubbles onto the frames and attached them with foam tape. Then, I stamped the sentiments with black ink.
To create the background, I cut a piece of Mermaid cardstock to 4 1/4″ by 5 1/2″ so that it would fit onto a card base, and then attached it with double-sided tape. I arranged the frames onto the background and after I decided where to place them, I attached them with foam tape. Then, I wanted to add a bunch of leaves! I decided to use the leaves from the You Autumn Know stamp set, but instead of coloring each leaf with Copic markers, I used the You Autumn Know coloring stencils to make it quick and easy. The leaves are ink-blended with Raspberry, No. 2 Pencil, and Fake Tan ink, and then I cut them out with the coordinating dies. After arranging the leaves around the card where I wanted them, I attached some of the leaves with liquid glue and some with foam tape to give them more dimension on the card.
I hope you like this card and that it inspired you to create something for fall! Happy crafting!
