DIY Halloween Background: Yippee for Yana

Hi friends! Please join me in welcoming back the oh-so-talented and amazing Yana Smakula! (Please note: our dear friend Yana is Ukrainian. To show support to our brothers and sisters in Ukraine, please see Yana’s post HERE.)

Hello, crafters, this is Yana Smakula for Simon Says Stamp! Welcome back for another Yippee For Yana video! It’s that time of the year! Time for Halloween Cards!

I’m creating a cute Halloween card with the Simon Says Stamp Halloween Friends stamp set! This time, I wanted to do a girly color combo and went with pinks and yellows for my card. It is not spooky, it is not scary, it is utterly adorable!

I stamped the images from the Halloween Friends in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto Neenah Solar White 80lb cardstock and colored my images using Copics. I used the following colors: RV00, RV10, Y08, Y19, C1, C5, C7, C9, E51. My coloring was simple, anyone can copy and replicate this look.

Next, I cut the images out using the coordinating dies and created an arrangement on Simon’s pink-to-yellow Pastel Color Blends paper. I just loooooove this paper! The panel was trimmed to 4 x 5 ¼” and foam mounted onto the A2 side folding card base. I heat embossed a sentiment in VersaFine Onyx Black ink and clear embossing powder (it embossed just fine with minimum warping) and foam mounted my die cuts on top using thin foam adhesive for a bit of dimension.

Lastly, I filled any gaps in my background using the Onyx gems from Spellbinders. Love!

Have fun stamping!
