Twiddler’s Nook Spooktacular IG Hop

Happy 31st of the month everyone! We’re over on Instagram having another Spooktacular Hop to celebrate our love for all things spooky! I have been dying to share my card today. I had SO MUCH FUN creating it and couldn’t love the outcome more.

I’ll give you the deets on my card here but remember to comment on the IG hop for your chance to win!

I started by stamping and coloring the super cute critters and clouds from MFT Stamps Delightful Halloween. I used the coordinating dies to cut them out and set them aside while I got super inky!

Next I grabbed distress oxide inks and inked up the front of my card base. I chose ripe persimmon, carved pumpkin and wild honey for an ombre up the panel. Then I spritzed the panel with water and blotted it dry, followed by black paint splatter for good measure.

Then I cut the MFT Stamps Trick or Treat sentiment out of a piece of light gray cardstock and glued it to my card base. I popped up my images with foam squares around the sentiment and finished things off with clay stars from the Twiddler’s Nook Sailor Moon embellishment mix.

Last, I tied twine around the top of the card and finished the images off with bits of glossy accents on the critter noses and pumpkin faces.

Products used:
Twiddler’s Nook Pressure Pal
Twiddler’s Nook Blending Brushes
Twiddler’s Nook Sailor Moon embellishment mix
Twiddler’s Nook Cloud Embellishment Tray
MFT Stamps Delightful Halloween stamps and dies
MFT Stamps Trick or Treat die
Liquid glue
Glossy accents
Foam squares
Distress Oxide Ink – ripe persimmon, carved pumpkin, wild honey

I appreciate you sharing your time with me. Have a fabulous day!

Twiddler’s Nook Spooktacular IG Hop

I can’t believe today is finally here. This has been months in the making and I’m excited to share with you the Twiddler’s Nook Spooktacular Instagram Hop! It’s a hop for us Halloween loving card makers where we come together on the 31st of each month from January through October to share fun inspiration and highlight the awesome products we offer at Twiddler’s Nook.

Today I’m sharing a fun shaker card using the Rainbow Wishes confetti as my shaker bits. I thought it was fun to add some color instead of my typical “Halloween” colors. I also used a Tonic Studios full panel shaker window which makes creating shaker cards a breeze and fun with no thick borders to hide your foam tape.

The images come from one of my favorite Pink & Main sets called Halloween Brew. Instead of going with a sentiment from the stamp set, I pulled out the Mama Elephant Big Boo and Trick dies.

For a little added spook, I used the Twiddler’s Nook blending brushes on a piece of gray cardstock with the Pretty Pink Posh Spooky Sky stencil set.

With all the layers put together, I finished things off with stardust Stickles on the stars and bubbles on my images.

Products used today:
Twiddler’s Nook blending brushes
Twiddler’s Nook Wishing on Rainbow Stars confetti
Twiddler’s Nook Pressure Pal
Tonic Studios shaker pouch
Pink & Main Halloween Brew stamps and dies
Mama Elephant Big Boo and Trick dies
Newton’s Nook Land Border dies
Pretty Pink Posh Spooky Sky stencils
Stickles – stardust
Pink & Main EZ Squeeze liquid glue

If you’d like to join us on the hop, head over to Instagram and comment for a chance to win a $20 gift certificate to the Twiddler’s Nook shop. You have until February 3 to comment. The winner will be announced on February 5.

I appreciate you sharing your time with me. Have a fabulous day!
