Welcome to InKing Royalty’s October Blog Hop! Boo! Today we are sharing scary and sweet projects perfect for Halloween. We are excited to share our creations and hope you love them! After you read my post, I hope you’ll hop over to the next person on the list at the base of this post.
For my first card I decided not to go with the traditional Halloween colors, so I started with a Fresh Freesia card base and added strips of Fresh Freesia and So Saffron to a panel of Basic White. The stamps I used for this card are from the September Paper Pumpkin Kit, Spooky Treats. I stamped the stars in Fresh Freesia Ink on the colored panels and attached them at angles to my Basic White layer.
The spooky spiders are stamped in the white spaces with Memento Black ink. The ghosts are also stamped in Memento Black on some scrap pieces of Basic White. Yes, I fussy cut them using my Paper Snips and arranged them on the front of my card. The Boo for both of my cards is from retired set, Banner Year. I really don’t think this set should have retired, but I am trying to let that go. LOL!
My second card features the Bewitching Bundle and the amazing Deckled Rectangle Dies! Oh baby to I love these dies! it gives the perfect spooky look, don’t you think?
I used a blending brush for the grass and the sky scenery. The grass is Granny Apple Green and the sky is Pool Party. I stepped it up by heat embossing the pumpkin from Hello Harvest with Black embossing powder!

Renae, both of these cards are wonderful! I’m a non-traditional colors person, and I love your colors on the first card!
Thanks Sue-Happy Halloween!
The deck led rectangles are perfect for this card! I am in awe of blending skills. Both cards are perfectly spooky!
Thanks Pam, you are too kind!
I love both of these spooky, fun cards, Renae! I adore how the strips seem to wrap the focal panel on the first card – such a fun treatment. So glad you hopped with us today!
Thanks so much! It was fun!
Love both of these, Renae! The pastel strips remind me of mummy wrappings. And those dangling witch feet are too cute.
Thanks Candy! I too love Halloween.
Both cards are fabulous, Renae! I just love those ghosts!
Thanks…..I really liked that Paper Pumpkin kit!
These are both such fun! Love the strips of paper layout for the first. A great use of papers. And the Bewitching is my favorite set, so of course I love that with the legs at the top! So Perfect !
Thanks Jackie, I have been having a lot of fun with this set!
Cute ghosting card. background reminds me of mummy strips.
