I LOVE Halloween!!

Hi everyone!! Happy Friday!! I LOVE Fridays and I especially LOVE Fridays when I get to share a sneak peek of not one, but TWO new sets from Taylored Expressions being released tomorrow, September 5! These sets ROCK my world...for Halloween and beyond!

Both of my cards today use cardstock, patterned paper, ribbons and buttons ALL from the Halloween Key Ingredients, which is also being released tomorrow! This Key Ingredients is AMAZING! As usual, Taylor has stuffed the KI chock full of FABULOUSNESS! The Halloween KI has Basic Grey Eerie paper, AWESOME colors of Prism Cardstock and embellies galore!!!

For my first card, I used my new favorite TE set, Trick or Sweet II! This set is A-DORABLE to the max level possible!! For my card, I stamped this Cuppie in a frog costume (how ca-ute is he? LOVE LOVE LOVE him!!) in Memento Tuxedo Black onto Choice Snow White Cardstock (this is the neutral cardstock included in the Halloween Key Ingredients!) and colored him with Copic Markers.

I wanted my layout to really showcase the gorgeous Basic Grey pattern, so I went with a square card. I added some ribbon loops, stamped my sentiment., Have a toad-ally awesome Halloween, directly onto my Intense Kiwi panel, and then spelled out KISS with these uber cool Orange Glittered Chipboard Letters! These letters are available in BOTH of the Halloween bundles being released tomorrow (you can see what is included in the bundles below!!).


For my second card, I used another set being released tomorrow called Spooky Expressions! What a COOL set this is to use! I had so much fun making this card!!

I started by stamping the spider webs in Memento Tuxedo Black onto the Wizard Medium Cardstock, and I then went over all the webs with a Spica Clear Glitter Pen for a bit of shimmer.

I stamped the cauldron in Memento Tuxedo Black onto Choice Snow White Cardstock (again, this is the neutral cardstock included in the Halloween KI) and colored it with Copic Markers. I stamped the sentiment and created a tab, and I then stamped the spider in Memento Tangelo for a bit of color on the tag. I did add a touch of StarDust Stickles for a little shine & shimmer!

Can you see the super cool skull button my ribbon is tied through? It is SOOOOO cool and of course, they are included in the Halloween Key Ingredients also!!! WOO HOO!!!

You can see the fabulousness from the rest of the Baker's Dozen ovens right here!!!
