Can I just say that the card making Community is the most supportive I’ve ever been part of (cue the onion cutting) & WELCOME! You & your cards & videos ROCK! Love to you & your partner & pup!
I miss my family’s Halloween buddies. Sometimes it works out that your entire family gets along really well, wives, husbands, and kids. We met at a McDonald’s Play Place when our kids were toddlers. We were both refugees from mommy groups. At some point they moved from the city to an historic mining town that was chock-a-block with ghost stories. Old fashioned hay rides, a haunted train, and trick-or-treating on a wooden boardwalk. Wonderful memories. Our kids are all grown now, but they went trick-or-treating together from the time they were toddlers till they were too old to go any longer. We live in SoCal now and Halloween isn’t nearly as fun. We just haven’t found our groove yet. Not like Christmas with all of the lights---so many, many lights. Disney does things for Halloween every year, but I don’t like the Nightmare Before Christmas; the regular Haunted Mansion is so much better, though the decorations around the park are cute. Universal’s haunted mazes are unbelievably expensive (usually $100/person/maze) and so crowded. If you want to shell out over a thousand dollars and stand in line for hours… Impossible for that activity to live up to the hype for me. Halloween is now an excellent occasion to make a card for my friends. But as a general rule I much prefer giving regular stuff a Halloween 👻 treatment rather than getting Halloween 🎃 themed supplies. It’s easy enough to change regular house dies & stamps into haunted houses or to make figures look 👀 tattered and spooky. I use Tim Holtz’s house dies to make haunted villages and the like. I also use his Splat dies and Paper Rose’s similar dies (“pond” shapes) to make ghosts. I just cut eyes and mouth holes out of the shapes. Monsters are also fairly easy to create out of various shapes. Just a matter of looking at the shape and not think about what a die or stamp set is intended to make. Paper crafting is definitely the best part of Halloween these days. I love making journal spreads and scrapbooking Halloween. I don’t send out too many Halloween cards. This video is an excellent reminder to sort through the Halloween specific supplies I do have and do a sort/purge. I have a calendar alert for the first part of September so I remember to go through fall/Halloween/Thanksgiving decor to pick out stuff for donations before the season. I think earlier might be better though. I donate to nursing homes. They will take paper crafts. I like paper crafting more than having the completed items so I donate last year’s makes to have room for this year’s.
I'm a new card maker. I've watched YT videos since the time we shall not speak of, but never felt I was ready for the cash outlay on the tools. I've since made the jump and Halloween Cards are ABSOLUTELY my gateway drug. Christmas is nice, but the variety of Halloween vibes you can capture are so fun. Love the card and welcome to YT :)
I loved Hallowe'en when I was little. Our tradition was to dress up and go into people's houses and entertain with a song/poem/joke in exchange for food (not sweets) but American trick or treat has taken over 😢 I like the way you work it out on camera. 🏴
“I know just enough to be dangerous” is the story of my crafting life. I love Hocus Pocus for non scary Halloween movie and Army of Darkness for B movie horror/comedy.
so glad u quit ure job. ure in your happy place designing cards :) pls post the envelope and magnetic sheet set u use for stamp/die storage. thank u! great crafting!
A spooktacular card! Love your mix of products, and I agree with your wish for more Halloween card making products. Halloween is definitely turning into a favorite holiday. As a kindergarten teacher it was one of my least favorite holidays. The kiddos were so wired due to candy for breakfast, lunch, dinner & snacks! Now that I'm retired I make cards & decorate my house inside and out! I'm enjoying your videos.
I have watched all 3 of your videos. Mostly a scrapbooker but started paper crafting by making cards and still enjoy making them. Yes I do send Halloween cards and my sister in law collectes the Dept 56 Halloween Village. I have really liked your videos and always learn something. Can't wait to see what is next.
"Don't worry about being perfect", you say as you're meticulously cutting out with perfection😂😂😂 The one thing I hear over and over again on all of these channels is; "This is not Hallmark, it's handmade".
I love how real you are about being a bit off with your die and not being perfect with your coloring. Great idea with the pebbled path...I don't think I would have thought of inking it like that. Great card...look forward to many more. Thanks
REPLY to RALPH ... Our kiddle had one "in the day", but WE found them to be great decorations along our entry sidewalk for Halloween. We cut out the bottoms and maneuvered them over the "Malibu Torchier-style" walk lights ! Worked great! But they did take up a lot of space in the garage to house them out of season! Thanks for the memory recall!! P.S.: Great fun watching your creations unfold (oops ... unintended pun there!)
My favorites for black ink has become Gina K amalgam obsidian for alcohol and watercoloring (unless its no line and then I use distress ink vintage photo) and I like Altenew pigment ink also in obsidian for sentiments or super dark black stamping (so I sometimes keep the stamp in Misti to restamp in the Altenew after coloring). Good luck with your journey in cardmaking!
Super cute Halloween card. My fave Halloween movies are Hocus Pocus and Scream. But as a tradition, I always watch Rocky Horror Picture Show and as and end to the day, I put on The Crow. ❤ Great way to end the Halloween day and great start to my birthday. 👻🎃
@@ralphtyndall 😲OMG no way! lol My boyfriend never saw it either til I put it on for him to watch. It's a cult classic. The music is catchy as hell. lol Watch it once, I feel like you will be creating more beautiful cards while chair dancing to it! 🤣😂
I have used Memento Tuxedo Black for years...never smears. I use Versafine Clair onyx black for wording. Check with all the stamping greats for ideas. I am glad you spread the love by using different company products. I want to keep them around !! Glad you joined the group ! Cards are great and you look like your having the fun we all need !
Love this card! I'm from Connecticut (the small state just under Mass) and have been to Salem many times. Its a wonderful place for any Halloween fan to visit any time of year.
Ralph, doing "all this" is a full time job. Filming, editing, creating, crafting. You are doing an awesome job and I get the I'm a fun professional vibe. love the cards today. You are off to a great start.
It's funny you said about getting Halloween cards. It is the ONLY holiday I send cards for. :-) I'm not sure what that says to my friends but I don't much care. Great card!
I also use memento for use with alcohol markers. I use versa for use with watercolours. You basically use the opposite type of medium. Dye ink for alcoholic ink and pigment ink with water colouring. Dye ink reacts with water, alcohol inks will move your pigment ink.
I am definitely not a great alcohol marker user but when i do I use clear embossing powder over the black stamped image. That way you wont have to wait for the ink to dry or risk smudging. Its nice to hear a male point of view for cardmaking. Thanks for the fun cards!
Great card! I love how you used supplies from different companies. It reminds us that we need to use all of our supplies and not just get stuck using one company at a time. FYI: Dollar Tree already has Halloween stuff out so you're not pushing it... LOL
I have to say I’m not a big Halloween person but I don’t mind the cute side of it. The only thing I’ve found I like is some stamps and dies from Trinity stamps which are on my wishlist.
Although I've been crafting for years...this is the first time I've seen someone use the scoreboard to get the panel on the cardbase properly...😲😲 love it... and the card - of course 😀 - . Can't wait to see what other fabulous creations you come up with.
I was told by more experienced cardmakers than i, that memento is good for alcohol ink coloring. This is a great card. I'm not too into Halloween cards but this inspires me. Thanks for sharing.
How could anyone NOT Love you??? I See you and I most definitely appreciate you Ralphy, a great job, the card (just like you) looks fabulous, lots of love & Best Wishes from UK XXXX
@ralphtyndall You're very welcome. I really admire people that leave their boring, repetitive jobs and persue the ultimate goal, to work for yourself by doing what you love to do. That is the dream of many people out there....me included, BUT it is a fine line between turning your hobby/passion into a full time career and also being practical in terms of finances: it may be a boring & mundane job but it guarantees a regular wage to pay the bills and the roof over your head. It's a mental tug - of - war that I have been fighting. Maybe in a couple of years time it may be feasible but for now it's working the boring & mundane job that wins. I wish you all the success for your channel and may you grow and prosper artistically aswell as personally fulfilling your life's goals, lots of LOVE to you Xxxxx
This card is so cute. And I love the little Halloween villages. I don’t own any pieces but I will start collecting now that my son is getting old enough to not break stuff lol
I never send a halloween card BUT i love halloween, so i make them anyways. Also good for scrapbooking. So fun! Thanks for sharing! Gina K amalgam ink is my go to for alcohol markers. cant beat it.
Salem, cool! I spent last Halloween at Sleepy Hollow, near Rochester, NY, home of Washington Irving. So much fun! I would love a headless horseman die! Thanks for your inspiration. ❤️
Great card Halloween is no big here in NZ but I do remember carving pumpkins as a kid in England. For finer splatter try a fan brush it will make smaller stars.
Please make a Fall card. Your Halloween card is great! Your right not many Halloween cards get sent, even though I will make them I don't send them out! Keep the videos coming!
I love Halloween too. I am far behind in my card making bc I am moving to Panama in Central America. As people said in your first video, your explanation is clear, you have a great voice, your pacing is excellent, and it's calming/soothing to watch you. I am awfully glad you aren't trying to sell a particular company's product and you share the wealth showing how various brands can seamlessly blend together. Great job & card. Thanks for sharing.
Ralph, I had the pleasure of watching your fun and inspiring, with what I believe to be your first RUclips video a couple of weeks ago. I'm a big fan of Cathy Zielske as well. I know she's gotta be so proud of you, as are the rest of the crafting community you are now a part of. Congratulations!! I will look forward to watch you grow and thrive doing what you actually love to do! It's the best! Lots of luck and great success!
Amazing video!!!! Please continue to make them I love the way you showed us exactly how to create this beautiful card!! I would also love to see more embossing cards.
Hi Ralph, I loved going to Tuesday Morning and going through their crafting supplies but unfortunately the ones close to me have also closed. 😔😒😒😒😒 Your card turned out great. TYFS.
I am impressed ! You have everything, you definitely know what you are doing and you are very good at it !! Don't think you said when you actually started making cards. Evidently before you quit your job ? Good that you have a supportive partner 🙂
Yay for Halloween! I did NOT know that there is a Halloween village - I’m going to have to look into that. You should invest in a sticky mat - it will hold all of your pieces still when you ink them up! Great card!
Hi Ralph! I was watching CZ tonight and she shared your name and showed a card that you sent her!!! So cute. I really enjoyed your 2 videos and can't wait to see more!!! I loved all the elements you put onto 1 card! Thank you, I am super happy that I have found you!
I like the mix and match of companies. In Tim’s video yesterday he showed how to extend a die cut while using the same die. Just a thought. Great card.
Ralph, I use Memento Tuxedo black ink with Copics. So glad you’ve joined the card making world! Please keep making videos. We need more guys doing this!
Halloween is my favorite too! My Grandaddy’s birthday was Halloween! We keep our decorations up year round. I also collect the Dept 56 Halloween village but most of them are discontinued. Thank you for the card, it’s great!!!
Halloween is also my favorite holiday! No one seems to send Halloween cards anymore, and it's so sad. Love your card and your love for the craft. Back off Christmas, it's Halloween's time to shine. 🎃 🧙♀️ 👻 🧟♂️
Ralph, this was a fun card! For virtually instant stamp to color with Alcohol inks, the go-to for most crafters has been Tsukineko Memento Ink. I enjoyed the sidebar of your Halloween village. Halloween is my wife's favorite holiday also. Boo!
what an enjoyable watch! Been obsessed with your TikTok’s, and the RUclips videos are even better. I love the little blurbs that pop-up. It’s so cool seeing your vision come to life!!
Wow that is a cool card so much dimension while having a clean finished look. You bring such good energy to your videos I feel better after watching them.
Fun card! I don't do a lot of halloween but I do have people asking for them. They are fun to do, my Lawn Fawn popup ones were a hit! My favourite ink to use with alcohol markers is Tonic studios Nuvo Hybrid black ink. It works with all mediums and drys quickly
Halloween is my most favorite holiday too! I originally come from Conn. and visited Salem many, many times! It is quite an awesome day, for sure! Great card!
Beautiful card! Am I the only one noticing how expensive dies are becoming? I love that moon die but oh my -$30? I will have to wait for a clearance special somewhere.
Neat card!!! I’m so excited to find a new person to watch!!! I wish you total luck at this!! I really enjoyed this and yes thank you for not making a Christmas in July card!!!!! Thank you for sharing!!!
Can I just say that the card making Community is the most supportive I’ve ever been part of (cue the onion cutting) & WELCOME! You & your cards & videos ROCK! Love to you & your partner & pup!
Favorite Halloween movie is probably Arsenic & Old Lace.

P.S. for copic coloring I use Momento tuxedo black ink!!
I love that card! I would much rather see Halloween in July cards than Christmas. I'm a big horror movie fan, too.
I'm an October baby and tend to get Halloween cards as a Birthday card. Love this

Sometimes Dollar Tree will carry tine foam squares. When I see them I pick them up! Best Price in town when the have Card is cute
Absolutely love it. Ta. So glad you decided to do RUclips. Enjoying your approach.
I have been an alcohol marker colourist for years and have always used Memento ink for the stamping. Great card also!

Yes, my sister collects Dept 56 Halloween Village! We put it up across the mantle, love the entire time of the year.
Halloween cards are my FAVE ones to make. I just wish more people gave Halloween cards. LOL
Great card! I love how you used supplies from different companies. It reminds us that we need to use all of our supplies and not just get stuck using one company at a time.

I do Halloween and Thanksgiving cards in July and Christmas Cards in August. Love this card.
Fun card! I don’t color or make Halloween cards. Le sigh. But I’m likeable anyway! 😂
Thank you for NOT making a Christmas card LOL!! I love ❤️ 👻 🎃 Halloween
LOL. Halloween comes first y'all!

What a great card! You did a fantastic job. Your enthusiasm for card making is very apparent. It's obvious you are enjoying yourself. Such a pleasure.
Thanks Donna! I do have a good time :)
This card is so cute. And I love the little Halloween villages. I don’t own any pieces but I will start collecting now that my son is getting old enough to not break stuff lol
I never send a halloween card BUT i love halloween, so i make them anyways. Also good for scrapbooking. So fun! Thanks for sharing! Gina K amalgam ink is my go to for alcohol markers. cant beat it.
My tried and true “old school” ink for coloring with alcohol markers is Memento.
Same
Salem, cool! I spent last Halloween at Sleepy Hollow, near Rochester, NY, home of Washington Irving. So much fun! I would love a headless horseman die! Thanks for your inspiration. ❤️
Sleepy Hollow was actually on our list too! Glad to hear you had a great time there
Hey Ralph, great intro 👻🎃💀. You really were made to do this card making gig. You really are great 👍. 😊gayle
My favorite holiday. Chervil out Temu! I have gotten a lot of Halloween items there. The dies cut beautifully.😊
Halloween card composition is wonderful. I do send Halloween cards. My sister’s bday is on Halloween
Making Halloween cards is fun. Made a bunch last year then ended up only sending a couple so am good for this fall yet.
Great card Halloween is no big here in NZ but I do remember carving pumpkins as a kid in England. For finer splatter try a fan brush it will make smaller stars.
Looking forward to Fall cards.

Hi Ralph,
I loved going to Tuesday Morning and going through their crafting supplies but unfortunately the ones close to me have also closed. 😔😒😒😒😒 Your card turned out great. TYFS.
So sad about Tuesday Morning! It was smack dab between Home Goods and Michaels near me...perfect trifecta.
HeroArts Intensified Black is my go to black ink for Copic/alcohol ink coloring
I DO have that one! I need to pull it out.
I love the little emojis as you talk!😄
I LOVE horror movies! I just had a Screamathon! Lol. Try a toothbrush for your stars next time.
I am impressed ! You have everything, you definitely know what you are doing and you are very good at it !! Don't think you said when you actually started making cards. Evidently before you quit your job ? Good that you have a supportive partner 🙂
I've been making cards for about a year!
Yay for Halloween! I did NOT know that there is a Halloween village - I’m going to have to look into that. You should invest in a sticky mat - it will hold all of your pieces still when you ink them up! Great card!
He said on his tik tok live he may make a RUclips video putting his village together in October!!!!
It was so adorable and all I would add would be some red stickles.
Love this card and now I need that moon!! I like the Simon Says Stamp intense black ink or Lawn Fawn jet black.
The moon is really great!
Also, love that you aren't limited to on company. Love the blending of stamps and dies and inks etc. from some many different companies.
I did a fall/Halloween card with cats in a graveyard. It has a spooky wrought iron fence with bat finials (an old Martha Stewart set).
Memento Tuxedo is my go to for alcohol markers !!!
Hi Ralph! I was watching CZ tonight and she shared your name and showed a card that you sent her!!! So cute. I really enjoyed your 2 videos and can't wait to see more!!! I loved all the elements you put onto 1 card! Thank you, I am super happy that I have found you!
Hi, what a great card and nice Video. I like your Style and personality. Great Job. ❤❤❤
Thank you! 🙂
Love the card! I, too enjoy making Halloween cards
I like the mix and match of companies. In Tim’s video yesterday he showed how to extend a die cut while using the same die. Just a thought. Great card.
Versa fine onyx black is my fav. I like to use clear embossing powder over before I add color.
Ralph, I use Memento Tuxedo black ink with Copics. So glad you’ve joined the card making world! Please keep making videos. We need more guys doing this!
Lawn Fawn Jet Black is the best I've used for alcohol markers! Jen Shurkus has a great copic 101 class. It definitely helped me TONS! Fun card!
Oooo good to know!
I agree, I've tested different black inks for my alcohol markers and lawn fawns is the best!
Halloween is my favorite too! My Grandaddy’s birthday was Halloween! We keep our decorations up year round. I also collect the Dept 56 Halloween village but most of them are discontinued. Thank you for the card, it’s great!!!
Lights in your background are super cool ❤
Thank you!
I'd love to see a video showing your craft supplies collection 😍
Craft room tour??
@@ralphtyndall yes please!!!! & congrats on the beginning of your RUclips journey! I'm so interested in your creativity 💖🤘🏼
Tuxedo Black Memento Ink is my standard go to ink for my Copic Markers. Thanks for another great video!
For ink to stay wet longer I'll sprinkle them with clear embossing powder and heat set them.
Great card! I gladly subscribed. I use Memento ink for alcohol marker coloring. No smuggling!
Thank you for sharing your ideas I’ve been making cards for 20+ years. I use momento black ink with my alcohol markers
Halloween is also my favorite holiday! No one seems to send Halloween cards anymore, and it's so sad. Love your card and your love for the craft. Back off Christmas, it's Halloween's time to shine. 🎃 🧙♀️ 👻 🧟♂️

I have so many boxes of Halloween craft supplies. I go crazy and buy it all! I’m also so sad about Tuesday morning. I found so many treasures there!
It was one of those must-stop store for me when I was out and about running errands….just to seeeeee if there might be a stamp set I need 😂
Love Halloween. I do have cute stamps from stampin up and a few other manufactures that I made treat bags with and tags for treat bags.
Great blending, Ralph - and the card came out so good - very inspiring. Thanks so much!
I never thought of halloween cards🤔
I love the moon cutting die☺
It is NEVER too early for Halloween!
You are such a brave young man! I am so very proud of you.
Aw, thanks Polly!
@ralphtyndall you are so very welcome, young man 👨
Memento Black Ink is the best to use with Alcohol blends.
People might not send Halloween cards, but should want Halloween images for decorating treat bags, scrapbooking, etc.
Wow that is a cool card so much dimension
while having a clean finished look. You bring such good energy to your videos I feel better after watching them.
Fun card! I don't do a lot of halloween but I do have people asking for them. They are fun to do, my Lawn Fawn popup ones were a hit! My favourite ink to use with alcohol markers is Tonic studios Nuvo Hybrid black ink. It works with all mediums and drys quickly
I love Halloween. I make them for my adult kids and grandchildren every year. 👻
Halloween is my most favorite holiday too! I originally come from Conn. and visited Salem many, many times! It is quite an awesome day, for sure! Great card!
Beautiful card! Am I the only one noticing how expensive dies are becoming? I love that moon die but oh my -$30? I will have to wait for a clearance special somewhere.
Unfortunately you're not the only one! It's a shame they're not more affordable
Neat card!!! I’m so excited to find a new person to watch!!! I wish you total luck at this!! I really enjoyed this and yes thank you for not making a Christmas in July card!!!!! Thank you for sharing!!!
Comment to Eoin Kennedy ... YOU'RE RIGHT!! The cut out does look like Asia & Europe!!
Coool card! I add a bit of water to the paint or ink before splattering. Love the moon die
Aw hell yeah it SPOOPY TIME!
