Hi there!
It’s Day 4 of Ghost Week and today I’m also playing along with this month’s Memory Box challenge where the theme is ‘happy haunting’.
Who said ghosts had to be white? I created some colourful felt ghosts with two new-to-me die sets by Memory Box – the brand new Haunting Ghosts set and the Ghosts in the Forest set.
The sentiment is by Creative Expressions.

Hi there!
Welcome to Day 3 of Ghost Week!
I had such fun creating this card… and a LOT less fun to photograph it!
The card base is this gorgeous patterned ombre mirror card that I picked up in a sale! I was so excited to use it and very pleased with how it turned out… until I came to photograph it. The lights in my photobox reflected badly and none of my cameras would take a true likening. So I had no choice but to wait for natural light. We have typical British grey autumn weather right now so even this was difficult and I did have to brighten the images I took but I got there in the end.
I used dies by many of my favourites – Penny Black, Tim Holtz/Sizzix, Poppystamps and Memory Box.

Hi there!
It’s Day 2 of Ghost Week and today I’m also playing along with this week’s Freshly Made Sketches challenge.
It’s such a versatile sketch this week and I was all ready to create a Christmas or autumn card before I thought of ghost week!
Today I’ve used two brand new die sets – the Poppystamps Ghostly Cats which I first used on this card and Memory Box’s fun set of Haunting Ghosts (I just used the smallest die).
I adhered the kitties and ghosts to an ink-blended strip and added a few die cut glitter stars. This one really has quite a cosmic feel doesn’t it?!
I’m also entering this into the current Poppystamps challenge – ‘Get your Spook on’!

Hi there!
Welcome to Day 1 of Ghost Week!
For someone who doesn’t celebrate Halloween, I certainly have a LOT of Halloween crafty products. Each year I tell myself ‘No more’ and each year some slip into that crafty basket.
October has been busy so I haven’t had as much crafty time as I would have liked (does one ever?!) but I just came up with the idea of Ghost Week in the hopes of making use of my new Halloween dies… let’s see how we get on!
Of course as I’m supposed to be using new products, my ghost card today uses an old Spellbinders set that I’ve had for a couple of years. I cut the ghosts from felt that has sparkly flecks and added glittery stars and the sentiment from the set to a base that I’d covered with Craft Consortium paper.
Thanks for stopping by!

Hello there!
Today I’m using products kindly sent to me by Penny Black from their recent Autumn release, So Very Grateful 2024, plus a few older products.
The beautiful Pumpkin Blooms die set (51-786) was the starting point for my card. At first I thought that I wouldn’t add much to the large pumpkin which measures about 8cm by 7cm at its largest points, but then I realised if I cut the top section off I could fill it with foliage and blooms!
I coloured the pumpkin first before using an edger from the Border Collection die set (51-717) to cut off the top. I layered it on top of the All in one Hexagon background die (51-816) and then the fun really began and I added die cuts from the following sets:
Leaf Layers (51-787) – also from the 2024 release
Pumpkin Parade (51-754)
Autumn Decor (51-653) – one of my all-time favourite sets – I adore that wheat die!
Pumpkins and Leaves (51-360)
I was really annoyed that I somehow managed to get a black mark on my pumpkin. I planned to disguise it with intentional ink splatters or gems but then decided that a well-positioned leaf would do the job very nicely! I also included the pumpkin top and a few more leaves.
To complete my card, I used a sentiment from the Autumn is Calling stamp set (30-863).
Thanks for stopping by!

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.
Ode of Remembrance, Laurence Binyon.
