Rubbernecker Stamps - Eek!


Welcome back!  Today I've got another fun Halloween card for you using some great dies from Rubbernecker Stamps!  I've fallen in love with these monsters!  

  • I started by cutting the Monsters die sets from multiple colors of cardstock like I did last time with the owls and then put a bunch of them together (I've got extras for later!)


  • Next, I cut the largest Slimline Rectangle from white cardstock.
  • I had previously cut some of the Slimline Clouds to use like a stencil or mask and pulled those out to blend some ink around them to create my background in green, blue and purple.
  • Then I splattered on some of the same inks with a waterbrush over the top of the clouds.
  • And finally for the cloudy background, I sprayed on some water and dabbed it off... I love the softer look it gives!


  • Next I started building my scene and cut them competely from black paper.  I used the Slimline Grass dies, Spooky Tree, Haunted House and others so they would just appear as shadows for a kind of silhouette background.


  • After the background was completed, I started adding my monsters with some popup tape in different widths.


  • I made one of the little monsters a pumpkin candy bucket by trimming one of the pumpkin die cuts and used a vine for the handle.
  • I die cut a couple sets of the alphabet die cuts in black glitter.  I will save the letters I didn't use for another project!  But I needed two E's so I cut two sets.
  • I popped up the letters for Eek onto the card as well as a couple bats and the added the owl in the tree!


Don't these little guys look like they are having a good time?!  And somehow I don't think they'll be scared to stop at this spooky house... 


And that's me for today!  I hope you enjoyed it and you'll come again for some more inspiration!

Happy Halloween - Rubbernecker Stamps


Welcome to some Rubbernecker Stamps Halloween Inspiration!  I've finally turned the corner and I'm dipping my toe in Autumn.  It's still pretty much Summer here in the desert Southwest, but in my mind I can smell the leaves turning and hear them crunch under my feet!   And of course I'm full on Pumpkin Spice right now!  I love to make Autumn cards... and Halloween cards are so fun!  As soon as I saw the Spooky House die I knew I had to have it!  Not to mention the Clouds stencil!


This Spooky House is SO easy to put together.  I just used my fine tweezers for the little window pieces and the bricks.   This is a one piece die so all of the pieces cut at once.   I cut the die from black, purple, orange and green cardstock and just kept little piles of all of the pieces so I could mix and match my colors however I wanted!  I created my frame using two of the Deckle Rectangle Dies... I placed one inside the other and held them with some washi tape to run them through my machine.  I used the tree trunks from the Cloud Tree dies and the headstones and fence cut with the Spooky house.


To start, I used yellow, orange, purple and blue Distress Oxides to create my colorful cloud background using a blending brush and the Clouds Stencil and layered the cloudy panel over my design paper background.  Then I built my landscape, popped the frame up over it and added the house to the front.  Finally a simple Happy Halloween sentiment to finish it off.


That's me for today!   Hope you enjoyed your stop and you'll come again soon for more inspiration!  I've included links below to all of the Rubbernecker products I've used today should you decide there is something you need to have!  (I think you might need that Spooky House...lol!)
