It’s a challenge day at Simply B Stamps!! The challenge this month is Halloween themed and we want you to create a monochromatic project with one additional color. For my project, as you can see, I chose to use blood red as my added Halloween color.

The image I used is Prom Queen Rio which is from the Back 2 School Teen Scene from Simply B Stamps. The background is actually a Halloween sticker and is what I got my inspiration from. So the card was really simple to put together… just peel and stick on kraft paper and then added some rhinestones and mesh ribbon.

If you can see, I added a few rhinestones to her tiara and over all the red areas and her banner I went over it with a Spica Atou glitter pen. Don’t forget to head on over to the SBS Challenge blog to see the rest of the design team’s inspiration! Hope you have a great weekend and thanks for stopping by! 😀

It’s a Simply B Stamps Blog Hop announcing the new releases that are now available!! You should have arrived here from the wonderful SUZI or you can start at the beginning HERE.

Today we’re featuring Beep Beep Jude from Simply B Stamps but you don’t want to miss out on all the other details too as there are two new Betty stamps available with your purchase! 😀

I colored Jude here with colored pencils while I was getting some much needed one-on-one time with my daughter – check out her project below and she even did all the cutting too – she’s so proud of it! Every time she catches getting my stamps out or printing a digi she always insists that I print out an extra for her too. It’s great!

Your next stop on the hop is actually back to the SBS Blog…. which is perfect because you don’t want to miss out on the release details! Hope you’ve enjoyed this mini hop and thanks for stopping by! *Hugs

This is Hamlet from Simply B Stamps and I made this card for the 12 Day of Scary Christmas challenge … which I’m a little slow on as a DT member! However, I still wanted to make a card to finish off the round. ;D As a participant in the challenge you have until December 30 to get your projects in and the theme is anything goes, anything melding Christmas and Halloween, that is.

For some reason, this image spoke to me and said… I’m the perfect Halloween/Christmas meld, pick me! So I did. LOL I colored his vest in red and white stripes to resemble candy canes, gave him a red cape, then used a lot of green embellishments on the card. The candle skull is the perfect amount of creepy-ness to make you look twice – that and the skull in the background too.

I used my Mom’s flourish metal die and that fun packaging tape with the skulls on it to create the background. Then I had to use some print decorative paper because it’s Hamlet after all – just wish I had hamlet print decorative paper – that would be awesome. I then carried some of the red off the image onto the card with the flowers and added a few pearls for a finishing touch. Hope you like it and be sure to come joing the challenge this week too. ;D

I wanted to jump in with a little “12 Days of Scary Christmas” action from Simply B Stamps and Day Seven‘s theme is coffins! I had found this wood coffin on clearance around Halloween time and knew I would be needing it for this very purpose. ;D The best thing about waiting so long to use it… ready?… the batteries in the annoying box are depleted. Yeah!

I first painted the box with black acrylic paint and I think I would have spent the extra time adding a finishing coating of some kind if I knew nothing would stick to it! But I was lucky enough to find some glue that worked and had to glue even the stickers down. So much for their sticky-ness. LOL

For my project I used Teen Scene Betty Sally from Simply B Stamps and recycled plastic from a packaging to get her to pop up when the coffin is open. Same thing with the ghosts in the background too. Sadly to say, the chocolate has all been eaten… I discovered the wrappers after coming back into my craft room with a very happy little girl too!
