“Spooky Town Royalty” – KS September 2023 Release Reveal – Day 2

Hello stampers and welcome back to my blog. It’s nearing the end of the month which means it’s time for a new Kindred Stamps release! The new Spookytown Royalty set is a 4×6 stamp set featuring our favorite characters. The set is part of the Spooky Town series with 3 other Spooky Town sets being released this month as well. Coordinating dies are available here.

There is also a new Spooky Town shaker mix and Holiday Town Paper Pack that coordinates with the new release as well.

I created a total of 4 cards with this set. All cards use panels die cut from the Card Basics die set.

I stamped out the images and fussy cut them out. I used Copic Markers to color all of them. I used a white gel pen to draw the lines on his suit.

For my first card, I took A panel and blended it with Hickory Smoke, Weathered Wood and Black Soot distress oxides. I then splattered it with white water color. I took the circle die from the Card Basics die set and cut it out of white cardstock. I then blended it with Mustard Seed and Scattered Straw to create the moon.

I die cut an A2 panel from black cardstock. With this panel, I cut out the grass and cemetery pieces using the Grass Scene and Graveyard Scene craft dies. From another piece of black cardstock, I die cut out the Spooky Fence craft die. On the cemetery piece, I heat embossed the sentiment using the Embossing Ink Pad and Snowfall Embossing Powder.

I assembled my card using liquid adhesive.

For my next card, I had some pumpkin dies in my stash and die cut them out. I used Carved Pumpkin to blend on them. I trimmed down cardstock to fit behind each pumpkin and blended it with Mustard Seed. Using another black panel, I die cut out two hill pieces and heat embossed the sentiment onto one of them. With the same panel, I drew the ledge that the character normally stands on and cut it out. I erased any pencil marks thereafter.

With another white A2 panel, I blended Hickory Smoke, Weathered Wood and Black Soot distress oxides. I then die cut out a larger circle and blended it with Mustard Seed and Scattered Straw. I assembled my card with liquid adhesive.

For my next card, I wanted to make use of the fun Halloween or Christmas card sentiment. I measured where half of the card was and masked one side off. I then ink blended it the right side with Twisted Citron, Mowed Lawn and Forest Moss. On the left side, I blended Abandoned Coral, Candied Apple and Lumberjack Plaid.

I had two stencils from KS that are now retired that I thought would be perfect for the background. I blended each one with embossing ink and heat embossed it with the Snowfall embossing powder.

For the sentiment, I stack and white and black cardstock and die cut out the Grass scene. I then stamped the sentiment first onto the white cardstock with black ink. For the black cardstock, I heat embossed it. I cut each one in half and assembled my card using liquid adhesive.

For my last card, I wanted to to use the new shaker and paper pack. I took an A2 panel and die cut a circle using the die from the Card Basics die set. I then ink blended it with Hickory Smoke, Weathered Wood and Black Soot distress oxides. I then trimmed down one of the papers to fit behind the panel.

I adhered a piece of acetate that I trimmed down using tape runner. I then surrounded the edge of the circle using foam tape and brushed it with anti-static powder. I added my shaker mix and then adhered it to the back.

For the front of the card, I took a black A2 panel and die cut out two grass pieces. On one of the pieces, I heat embossed the sentiment directly onto it. I diecut out the Spooky Tree die set from black cardstock as well. I had a skeleton die set in my stash and die cut them out as well. I adhered my elements onto the background using liquid adhesive.
