Welcome to InKing Royalty’s October Blog Hop! This year’s Blog Hop themes are inspired by a single word – and this month our projects are centered around SPOOKY. With Halloween just around the corner, we are excited to share our spooky, fun projects with our neighbors, coworkers and family – and we’re excited to share our creations with you today! After you read my post, I hope you’ll hop over to the next person on the list at the base of this post.
Nothing says SPOOKY like an eerie wooded area, an ominous-looking sky and creatures peering out in the semi-darkness. EEEKKK!!
Who’s Watching You?
You can create your own SPOOKY in jiff with Stampin’ Up! I used the beautiful tree stamps from our new Nature’s Beauty stamp set, paired with Night of Navy and Seaside Spray inks to devise this creepy, SPOOKY trick or treat greeting. Can’t you hear the owls and crickets? What was that noise? Time to run! But not too fast….
No post of mine is complete without a flower, so here’s a little cheery SPOOKY to balance things out.
A Spooky Daisy for You
A Spooky Daisy? Yes – it’s true. I used the traditional colors of Halloween – Grapefruit Grove and Basic Black to craft a Cheery SPOOKY greeting for my girlfriend. She just loves Halloween and our Daisy Punch and Well Written dies make quick work of this card.
Here’s what I used to create these cards. You’ve still got time to order and get your SPOOKY on, but you better hurry!!

You spooky scene is awesome! A great idea that you perfectly created! And the Halloween daisy is so cute.
Jackie Thank you so much! I had a wonderful time working on these cards. Everyone needs Stampin’ Up! in their lives!
Oh, Sheryl! I love, love, love what you came up with. This misty scene is gorgeous and oh-so-spooky. What a great project for your first blog hop. I’m so glad you were able to hop along with us this month! ♥
Thanks Brian! I had so much fun trying to figure out what to do with Spooky. I’m such a wimp when it comes to stuff like that. (My family takes great joy in teasing me about it.) 🙂 Thanks so much for creating space for us to share.
I love your spooky scene – it looks like a piece of “spooky” art. And also your Halloween colors. I did not think of Grapefruit Grove and you used it beautifully.
Thank you Linda! Necessity is the mother of invention… I was trying hard to figure this one out. I had a blast trying.
I love how you created a truly spooky background. The little eyes peeking out are perfect for this scene.
Thank you Sue! This scene depicts how I feel anytime I think about a scary movie – I’d never ever watch one. I did so once when I was nine years old, and vowed never again. 🙂
Wow – the spooky vibes from your card are great! I can hear the crickets! And I’m running!!! Love it! Kelly x
Kelly thank you so much for your feedback. I had to chuckle when I read your comments …. This is so much fun!
Absolutely stunning card and so beautifully crafted.I love the fun of the daisy card.
Thank you Robbye. I’m glad you like my spooky Daisy. I can believe how much fun I’m having. I had never heard of Stampin’ Up! until about a year ago. So glad I found it! And this team – THE best!
Yay! You win for spookiest! Everyone’s projects are awesome but theirs are cute, yours is “spooky” awesome. Thanks for sharing.
Traci thanks for your kind words. This pushed me to try something different and it was fun!
The eyes have it. They are perfect peeking out from your spooky scene. Love it.
Thanks Lynn! This was a hoot! My first blog hop. Yay!
Those eyes on your spooky card gave me the willies! Love it!
Robin, I know right? Anything peering out is super spooky. I’m glad you liked my submission. Thanks for your comments!
What an amazing spooky scene! I love it!
Thank you Sheryl! It was so much fun trying to create it.
