Something Goulish This Way Comes!

Hi friends!

Today I have a sweet set of Halloween cards to share with you.

I've put these cards together with the gorgeous new Ghouls Like You collection from Traci Reed Designs.

There are so many awesome journalling cards in this collection and I chose one for each of my cards to be the jumping off point.  

The journalling cards come as 3x4, so I resized them to be 2 inches wide (a better size for cards), and then printed them off.  One of my favourite bonuses of hybrid scrapbooking is that you can resize elements to suit your project.

To save matting the cards I just trimmed them leaving a white border on each side.

I hand stitched a border in a peach embroidery thread and used a few of the stickers in the collection to layer around my resized journalling card.  Then I added some orange sequins from my stash to the flower centres.

The jumping off point for my second card was another journalling card that I resized to 2 inches wide.  How adorable are these ghosties!?  I mean... Hey Boo! <3

Traci's collections always come with coordinating patterned papers in solid colours and I printed off a medium pink one, ran it through a scalloped edge punch, and then tucked it behind the black patterned paper to help it pop.

This time I added some sequins to a spiders' web sticker to make it look like it's glistening in the moonlight in the dead of night...

I have to say this is the cutest Halloween collection I've seen, and I love how it has so many pops of pink in it, but has enough traditional black and orange that it can totally be used for boy projects too.

Be sure to check it out over at Traci's shop at Sweet Shoppe Designs!

Thanks for stopping by today,
