Press PLAY for the perfect soundtrack while we now take a closer look at THIS IS HALLOWEEN starting with the 11 wicked awesome Digi Stamp sets!
 

I'm so excited to launch my new Artist Trading Coffins digi stamps!
A fun new take on ATCs for collecting and tradingπŸŽƒ
 
 
Magical Toadstools ATCoffin - Digi Stamp
The Magcial Toadstools ATCoffin is a spellbinding scene of the flora, funga and fauna that dwell in Furness Forest.  You'll have lots of fun colouring this coffin shaped ATC with it's pretty fern, toadstools, tree branch and a tiny bat flying around in the sky!
 
 
BATS ATCoffin - Digi Stamp
The magical creatures of Furness Forest are stirring as three wicked awesome Bats fly through the sky silhouetted against a full Moon with the tree tops of Furness Forest peeking up from below in this spellbinding ATCoffin scene!
 
 
Enchanted Forest ATCoffin - Digi Stamp
The grinning Moon peeks down from between the clouds upon the towering tall trees of the enchanted Furness Forest in this magical Artist Trading Coffin scene!
 
 
Graveyard ATCoffin - Digi Stamp
Go a-haunting this Halloween in the Furness Forest Graveyard!
The creatures of Furness Forest love to hide candy there so climb the hill through the spiderwebs and check behind all the tombstones and rickety fencing for treats if you dare...BEWARE, there could be lurking monsters laying in wait to play tricks on you instead!


Spiderweb ATCoffin - Digi Stamp
The Spiderweb ATCoffin is dramatic in all its cobweb glory just waiting to be embellished with a spider or two!

 
ATCoffin Label - Freebie Digi Stamp
 Each of the 5 ATCoffins comes with the FREEBIE Label for the back of your SPOOKtacular ATCoffin makes!
 
PRO TIP!
Each ATCoffin is drawn in a distressed style and measure approx. 2.5 inches at the widest point by 3.5 inches high.  Print them out and hand trim for a wonderful distressed edge with your mats and layers trimmed to match!
To pair the ATCoffin Digi Stamps up with the wonderful ATCoffin SVG Cutz sets coming up you will need to reduce the digi stamps a little bit so you can use the SVG Cutz as mats and layers and the shaker frames!

 
I WANT THEM ALL BUNDLE!
I know you love this set of ATCoffins and recommend you grab this special priced ATCoffin BundleπŸ˜‰ Add them all to your collection AND save some $$$$ tooπŸŽƒ
 
Bundle only available at LeighSBDesigns new BOOtique


This is Halloween
Slimline Bat and 2 Senties Digi Stamp Set
Make a statement this Halloween with this SPOOKtacular Bat-shaped slimline sized spooky scene!
The slimline Bat is perfect for your horizontal slimline card makes and oh so much more…imagine going BIG!!!  The haunting scene features some familiar silhouettes, you'll spot Skelli Cat, Balleigh Monsters and Oddleigh Witchiepoo lurking beneath the crescent moon and there’s also a haunted house surrounded by tombstones where a zombie hand is reaching out to grab you near a spooky tree and there's a spiderweb with lots of bats to complete the scene.
 
The set includes 2 slimline Bat styles, one Bat has a clean inner edge line and the other has a wonderful grungy style.  The set also includes 2 SPOOKtacular senties, a horizontal "This is Halloween" senti and a stacked "This is Halloween" senti with a bat!
 
 
Gothic 31 - Digi Stamp
A SPOOKtacular distressed Gothic 31 with an intricate cobweb woven around the numbers is perfect for making embellishment pieces and dramatic statements as the main focal point on your Halloween makes!


Gothic 13 - Digi Stamp
I included this wicked awesome distressed Gothic 13 with an intricate cobweb woven around the numbers to celebrate that 2023 is the 13th year I'm hosting our 31 Days of Halloween Blog HopπŸŽ‰. 13 is a wonderful number for your spooky and superstitious makes for Halloween and year round crafting whether you want it to be lucky or unlucky.
 
!!!! We have a Friday the 13th in October !!!!
 
13 is considered unlucky around the world with a few origin stories with the most popular being the demise of the Knights Templar that began with their arrest on Friday October 13, 1307.  In numerology 13 is a sacred karmic number associated with the divine and said to bring good luck and prosperity to those who embrace it.  But if you have a 13 karmic debt number then your bad karma will come back to you full circle!

 
Fall Pumpkins - Slimline Digi Stamp
 Fall Pumpkins is a magical scene of a stack of cheerful pumpkins nestled beneath a spider webbed tree as they joyfully watch the Autumn leaves falling around them!  Fall Pumpkins is a fabulous slimline sized digi stamp perfect for both your Fall, Halloween and Fall-o-Ween makes!
 

Incy Wincy Spider - Coffin Slimline Digi Stamp
 Incy Wincy Spider is a fabulous slimline digi stamp in the shape of a coffin.  The scene depicts a stack of gleefully grinning pumpkins snugly nestled inside the coffin shape with the top pumpkin delighted at the sight of the spider descending from the spiderweb above them.
 
Take your Incy Wincy Spider coffin slimline makes to the next level and pair it up with the wicked awesome Slimline Coffin Shaker Make-a-Card SVG Cutz and Slimline Coffin SVG Nesting Cutz sets!
