You could make this a Christmas card by coloring her clothes in holiday colors and have her holding a hanging ornament. She could be sitting on a mantle with a Christmas tree. She’d make a very pretty Elf!

[@NonnisDelights]

Thanks for that idea. I was thinking it was a great idea for Christmas but I couldn't envision it

[@jneidorff1619]

These cards came out amazing! I am ridiculously impressed at your fussycutting skills with those masks!

[@NonnisDelights]

I think the wicked card could not be more perfect! I love the witch so much

[@judynafus9360]

[@NicholSpohrLLC]

Thank you so much!

[@kellieoberstar]

Love these. I'm not a fan of zombies, but I like what you did with it. Not too creepy. These would be great for my nephews and my son. The Wicked card is great for my daughter and female friends. Thanks for the great inspiration.

[@kimluptovic2280]

[@craftyShirleyG]

Again amazing cards. The wicked is the best ever.

[@ulrikaekholmscrapskoj9507]

Hi saw a tip to make the stamp move easier in the misti without the stamp sticking to the fingers, use a pen with eraser on top. 👍

[@nancyenjay7966]

Come on! These are incredible. I am in love with the first card, I wasn't going to make Halloween cards this year but now... oh brother, LOVE what you did. I also need some help with nighttime, snowy skies for Christmas cards I'm making and will definitely need to find one of yours to help with that, your ink blending is awesome. If anyone has any suggestions, please comment. Thank you!!

[@mez9574]

Nichol those are some professional looking cards. Really cool and I’m not the biggest Halloween card maker.

[@SpydersCorner]

Brilliant cards!! Love the first card best, lovely colouring!!

[@JenniferSKinney]

Yep, super cute! Love the colors you chose. Now I kinda want an outfit like this. 😁

[@brendachambers8456]

Love it! So glad you stayed away from orange.

[@marierhodes4735]

I’m just wondering if you ever look at some of your cards and say… “I did that ish?” I mean, you kill it every time! You make all the things look great! Very inspiring! You definitely found your passion/job! LOVE IT

[@izzyjones7108]

[@NicholSpohrLLC]

Thank you so much!

[@elizabethallegretto8982]

Amazing! Love watching your videos! You are very talented. ❤️

[@phionella7]

Both came out so different but awesome. The green one reminds me of a graphic novel, although that sentiment is fantastic. The blue one came out so pretty; between the coloring, the shimmering letters and the flash of the stars, it really is beautiful. Hope your son had fun in the parade, take care!

[@anascrapbooklounge]

Always in awe of your work! 💜

[@geegee8675]

[@tracilord4854]

You NEVER Disappoint Nicole! I Love them both, but I'm a Spooky Creepy kind of Girl so I'm partial to the Zombie Hand! Clearly of you see my profile pick that I've had for my whole time on the internet you'd definitely be able to tell. The Creepier the Better! ❤😘☠👻👹💀👽😈👿

[@bethdelmonte-catanese6925]

[@taracamille8849]

I loved them both so much. I love the way you create some of the most amazing and intricate backgrounds that look so completely difficult to the eye but you have a way of explaining them so well, step-by-step that I think I might could do them lol. But I’ll leave all that creativity to you!!! Amazing job!

[@lindadodge4574]

[@rtd1791]

I absolutely love the Something Wicked card and I actually am the sort of recipient to whom you could send the zombie hand card. I think Nichol’s card designs were brilliant and I thoroughly enjoyed watching the video. So please do not mistake me as I am not complaining about anything Nichol did in this video. I just do not understand why either half a sitting witch or the zombie hand are stamps. I find both images appealing and certainly appropriate for Halloween. But realistically how often are you going to use either image? Like Nichol said the zombie hand has a limited audience and when you cross that with the list of people you might send a card to, well why would you want a zombie hand stamp? Especially since the size of that image is limiting too. I think both of these images would be better as a coloring page, sticker, or premade die cut. A one time use format is a better fit for very specific images. Even a digi stamp would be better because at least then you could resize the image and make it fit something other than a card. You could use either image in a journal, but again how often are you going to do that? Once a year for the next ten? I doubt it. I feel like stamp designers have lost sight of the purpose of stamps. Stamps are meant to be used repeatedly. Dies too for that matter. Maybe it’s just because there is an absolute glut of images in the stamping community or maybe it’s because you can sell a stamp at a price point where it becomes economically viable to only have a few hundred buyers. In another format maybe craft companies cannot justify the cost of the artwork as I imagine that bit is the same regardless of how the image is distributed. I am confused about so many stamps and dies. I am genuinely wondering how many of my fellow stamp enthusiasts and card makers are actually using stamps and dies more than once. I try to buy stamps and dies that I will use repeatedly. Mostly because my space is limited but also whatever I give a place in my craft space is an on going expense. I’m paying for both the space and utilities monthly. I just cannot justify giving a home to a one trick pony. I wonder how many makers feel similarly.

[@hollysmith7123]

I believe it depends on the imagination behind any stamp set or die. As far as the hand, it could be colored differently for someone over the hill birthday card or a grinch perhaps. The imagination is wonderful on how any one person creates. Perhaps you are limited on space as well as imagination. Thinking outside the box is key to any craft and to use in many ways. Not everyone will like everything as this is why there is variety. The sky is the limit. I'm a half glass kinda full person. Putting humor behind this stamp could go along way.
