7th in our 2024 Art Journaling Series: A Halloween Twist
A few years ago, Stacy Hutchinson did this Spooky Moon technique for some cards and I was in awe! With the release of the recent Tim Holtz Sizzix Halloween dies, this technique came to mind once again and I was in the mood to spook!
Once I had my background made, I die-cut several items from the Tim Holtz Sizzix Fright Night die set. I used a variety of papers with different textures and shine.
These are the journal pages that I have made so far this year. I love the size and shape of these and will be using them as reminders of techniques, products, color combination, and themes.
To learn more about this technique, check out my video below.

Swipe & Stamp for Easy Cards: EZ with CZ
Hi friends! Happy Monday! Please join me in welcoming back special guest Cathy Zielske with our latest edition of EZ with CZ! Read on, and be sure to watch the video for all the details! Enjoy!
Hello crafty friends! It’s Cathy Zielske here and I have the simplest idea for a quick card! All you need are some ink cubes (or pads, too!) and some big decorative stamp.
This technique works well with big floral or leafy stamps. I’m using the Graceful Flowers Stamps which feature a very large, gorgeous bloom. This is especially great for NOT coloring a detailed image and yet it still comes across as very elegant and graphic.
Be sure to pick colors that are analogous, which means they follow each other on the spectrum of the color wheel. Three or four should do the trick. Here is my video showing you the card.

This is also a great technique for when you just want to play and see how your swipes turn out!
Thanks so much for stopping by and I’ll see you next month!
