Abstract Halloween: Stretching your Stamps From Everyday to Holiday

Hi Friends! EEK!!—I’m so excited to share all the FUN I’ve been having creating Abstract Halloween Cards with the EBE Organic Elements Stamp Set.

To transform the Organic Elements Stamp Set from Everyday to Holiday, I first started with a Halloween Color Theme and used the Organic Elements Stamp Set to Build-Up my abstract color backgrounds. It’s SO cool how one stamp set can create SO many unique looks and designs!!

Then I matched the Halloween Color Theme with a fun holiday sentiment from the EBE The Last Bite by Julie Ebersole and to bring the entire holiday theme together, I added cute little Halloween images from EBE DinoMite Halloween by Brandi Kincaid Stamp Set.

Abstract Hocus Pocus

For my first Halloween card, I put a spell on the Organic Elements Stamp set to create an abstract background of boiled potions and magic spells with Witch Hats from DinoMite Halloween. 

Hocus Pocus Color Theme:

  • Purple-Concord & 9th Eggplant with First & Second Generation Stamping for the Dark & Light Hues Navy, Black, Green
  • Navy-Concord & 9th Midnight
  • Black-VersaFine Clair Nocturne
  • Green-Concord & 9th Sprout for 

Abstract Pumpkin Patch

For my second card, I took my color cues from the great pumpkin patch to create a Happy Halloween Greeting Card with cute little bats from DinoMite Halloween. 

Pumpkin Patch Color Theme

  • Lots of Orange: Concord & 9th Marmalade and Grapefruit
  • Hints of Green: Concord & 9th Oceanside
  • A pop of nighttime purple: Concord & 9th Eggplant

Abstract Candy Corn

For my third card, it’s all about the spooky sweets & treats with a Candy Corn theme with Orange & Yellow Stripes, white embossed splatters and little candy corn treats and bats from DinoMite Halloween.

  • Concord & 9th Marmalade, Grapefruit & Buttercup—YUM! 

So there we are friends, three Halloween Cards using an Everyday Stamp (Organic Elements) with the help of a few color twists and themed stamp sets.
