I love Halloween! As a child I loved the trick or treating and now I love dressing up my dogs and giving out candy. This year I was super excited to be invited to join two Halloween-themed YouTube hops (links to all the hop stops are in the description box of my YT video)! Ā There are lots of prizes so check out the details in my video below.
For this first one, I decided to create a series of “Halloween Cuties.” There is a Ghost, Mummy, Bride of Frankenstein, the Grim Reaper, a Witch and Frankenstein. Ā I wanted them to be “spooky cute” — is that a style? LOL They are available for free download HERE.
I colored them up with these Copic markers (trying to keep them bright and not too scary–hehehe):
Ghost: Skin: E000, 00, 11 and R11; Hair: E97, 99 and 29; Costume: C1 and 3
Mummy: Skin: E000, 00, 11 and R11; Costume: C1, 2, and 3
Bride of Frankenstein: Skin: YG11, 03 and 25; Hair: C6, 8 and 10 with Clear Star Gelly Roll Pen for white streaks; Dress: YR02, 04 and 07
Grim Reaper: C1, 6, 8 and 10
Witch: Skin E000, 00, 11 and R11; Hair: E97, 99 and 29; Broom: YR 31 and 24; Costume: V15, 06 and 09 with C9 and 10 for hat band an Metallic Gold Gelly Roll Pen for hat buckle
Frankenstein: Skin: G40, 43 and 24; Hair: C6, 8 and 10; Shirt: YR 02, 04 and 07; Vest: E35, 99 and 37; Pants: E29 and 79
Then I fussy cut each one and created a pocket letter card with them using Halloween papers from the American Crafts “Night Fall” collection. Ā To supplement the six digis, I also used two Recollections dimensional stickers (mad scientist and jack-o-lantern boy).
Then it was justĀ a matter ofĀ embellishing each pocket using various Martha Stewart punches (Bats Punch All Over the Page, Spider Web Border Edge Punch from Punch Around the Page Set, and Halloween Fence Border Edge Punch); green, purple and orange flower sequins; gems in various colors including spider gem stickers; recycled ribbon; and lots and lots of washi tapes.
The following is a process video of making this pocket letter:
This pocket letter is being entered into the following challenges:

Thanks for stopping by and hope you have a spooky cutsie day! WOOF
Thank you so much. These digis are absolutely adorable.I can’t wait to color them. Quick question though- I’ve never colored printed digis with copics. I’ve only used my copics on stamped images. The printer ink wont bleed from the copic markers
?
I have never had a problem with bleeding from printed images. I think the paper matters, and I’ve used Georgia Pacific premium card stock as well as matte Staples brand photo printing paper. I don’t think the ink matters since I use no-name brand ink cartridges. Hope that helps and that you enjoy the digis! Big hugs, Kristina
Kristina these are so cute, thank you so much.
I was wondering are you going to let us see your owls again? I missed them the first time.
Happy crafting, Linda :0)
I’ll re-release them for you when I get home tonight. š xoxo, Kristina
Hi Linda, Just re-released both owl digis. Enjoy! xoxo
Am having trouble getting back on. The password and I are having trouble. Am now locked out.
I have sent you an email with a new password for you. Hope you enjoy the digis. š
Although I am not really into Halloween, I just could not resist your adorable digis. Thanks so much for them and for the video…………job well done!
Thanks so much! That means even more to me that you liked it enough even though you are not really into Halloween! š Thanks for stopping by and for taking the time to leave a nice comment! Hugs, Kristina
Hello Kristina! I just registered and somehow I am “locked” out. Not sure how I did that – but that’s what I did š Is there something I need/should do to be able to get it? Sorry for the bother and I look forward to looking over your site and your digis.
Thanks for your help, Barbara
This is gorgeous! Love your colour choices and adorable images
Thanks for sharing your creation with us at the Shabby Tea Room.

I’m so glad that everything is working now for you. Enjoy! Big hugs, Kristina
These digis are so adorable. Thank you for sharing so generously. I’m glad I found you on this hop. I look forward to more of your creations and YouTube videos.
I’m so glad you like the digis, and I hope you enjoy playing with them. TFStopping by! Hugs, Kristina
The cutie spooky images are so darling. I have never tried using digital images before but it seems like I need to give it a try.
Aww thanks Linda! I love using digital images (since I am not a clean stamper–LOL). Hope you do give it a try and if you do, that you enjoy my digis! š Hugs, Kristina
These are just too cute!! Such sweet images!! Love the coloring too!
Thank you very much for joining us this week at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Blog!

Thank you so much Melissa! I had so much fun designing/drawing these images and sharing them with folks. Thanks so much for stopping by and for leaving such a sweet comment! Big hugs, Kristina
I am also locked out, and don’t receive any emails to change my passwords. Can you also help me. Thank you so much. slhaehnel at juno
I have sent you an email with a new password and confirming your username (which appears different from what I see in this comment). Perhaps that was the problem? Anyway, if you try to log in with the username and password I sent you to your email, I think it should work. If you’d like to change your password to something else you’re more likely to remember, please feel free. Hope this works! Hugs, Kristina
Can we try again? I still can’t log in or re-register with a different email. I’ve tried two computers, IE, firefox, chrome! These are really cute and will make great cards for my kids, I don’t want to miss them. thank you!
I have just found a blocked IP that has your slhaehnel name associated with it. It has attempted to hack my blog 283 times. I’m not a techie person, but my guess is that a hacker has hijacked your IP address. Unfortunately I can’t unblock you because that would leave my site susceptible to this hacker. I’m so sorry. I will email you the digis so you can enjoy them, and I would suggest you look at if your computer has a virus or something. Best of luck, K
sooo cuuutee all your Images
loveeee it and great coloring ooohhhh I am in love with them
and thanks for the freebie…
many thanks for sharing with us at ATSM last week
sorry late comment
hugs, Monika (DT ATSM)
Awww thanks so much Monika! I am so glad you like the digis too. I hope you enjoy playing with them. TF stopping by! Big hugs, Kristina
Hi Kristina, is there a reason why you retire your digis ? There are so many that I like but can’t get them anymore š By the way this PL is amazing and the digis are so adorable. I made sure to grab mine š Thanks a bunch, Jane ( alterjunkie )
Hi Jane! I’m so glad you like the Halloween Cuties digis and you got them. š I retire the digis because keeping them all available would crash my site with too many downloads. Also I actually pay for the volume that goes through my site and it would just end up costing too much, especially since I don’t charge for any of them. Hope you understand. Hugs, Kristina
These are just fabulous – love them all and your drawing as well s your colouring is just fantastic! Thank you for joining in the One Sweet Challenge this time. Hope to see you again soon.
Hugs, Vannessa
