Newest acquisition!

My newest aquisition is a filmstrip die. I looked through my stack of patterned paper and found a halloween scene which perfectly fitted for my first halloween card of the year. I also used my Xyron Sticker Maker machine for the filmstrip to stick perfectly on the paper.

Halloween Polaroid Greetings!

As Halloween is not a big deal here in our area I made a Halloween card for a friend of mine, who is living in the USA. She and her three girls always have amazing costumes and a fantastic decorated house and the kids collect tons of sweets each year. She just texted me three days ago that she already received this card:

I used the Mama Elephant Polaroid Fun Creative Die Cut set for it. I enter this card in the following challenges:

Bring on the Crows!

At my last shopping trip to a Scrapbooking Store I received a Halloween stamp as "thank you" for my large purchase. ;-) I could choose between two stamps and I chose one with scarecrow and created my first Halloween Card for this season:

Halloween Frame!

I was so well prepared with lots of sweets on Halloween's eve but there were no kids coming the whole evening. I think because of our remote location and that there aren't little kids living around.
So, I made some more Halloween cards while I was waiting:

Pumpkin Party!

My third Halloween Card is a bunch of pumkins under a tree.
I used the tree stamp from the Stampin'up set "In Gedanken bei dir" and brown ink. For the meadow I just cut a green strap of paper to create blades of grass.

Black moon rising!

Here in Austria we don't celebrate Halloween. Therefore, I haven't made any Halloween cards so far. Until yesterday, when I saw how many Halloween challenges there are out there. That got me thinking. As I have some fall/halloween paper which I haven't used at all, I didn't watch TV last night but created my first Halloween cards. As it was so much fun, I made six pieces. Now, I have to look for a funny poem because I will send them to some of my friends with little children.
Let's see what they will say. ;-)

I used one of my Nesting Scallops die cut for the background of the witch. I kept this card very simple and only used black ribbon, a black flower and an orange button.
I was surprised when I saw, that I have a "Happy Halloween" sentiment in my Stampin'up Collection.
