By The Moonlight!!

It’s Wednesday, and this week, I made a Hallowe'en card using High Hopes Rubber Stamps By The Moonlight - TT047 for the image and Block Happy Halloween - FF049 for the sentiment. These little friends are ready for some spooky fun on Hallowe'en.

To make my card this week, I began with a card base of Hammermill - Premium Colour 100 lb., cut and scored to be 5.5" x 4.25". I die cut the background from Stampin' UP! - Magic In This Night Designer Series Paper to be the same size as the base. Using a combination of Tim Holtz Distress Ink - Black Soot, Villainous Potion, Seedless Preserves and Fossilized Amber and finger daubers, I added some extra colour to the background. Martha Stewart - Hallowe'en Washi Tape was placed across the bottom. I cut Doodlebug Design Inc. - Hallowe'en Parade cardstock to the size of 1-1/8" x 4.25". I ran this through my Xyron Create a Sticker and adhered it to the base card above the washi tape.

I stamped the main image and sentiment onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card cardstock using my MISTI and Memento - Tuxedo Black ink. The main image was a little short for the full width of the card so I added some double-sided tape to a couple scraps of Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card cardstock and adhered them to both sides of the fence. The image and sentiment were then both coloured in. The image was fussy cut and U-Line double-sided tape was applied to it. I popped it up onto the card and then cut off the excess from the fence on both sides.  I cut around the sentiment and then ran it through my Xyron Create a Sticker and applied it to a piece of Recollections - Black cardstock. Once again, I used my cutter to go around the sentiment, leaving a slight border. U-Line double-sided tape was applied to the back of the sentiment and it was popped up onto the striped paper background to complete the card.

Kitty In Training!!

It’s Wednesday, and this week, I made a Hallowe'en card using High Hopes Rubber Stamps Kitty In Training - TT052 for the image and Happy Halloween Script - F232 for the sentiment. Hallowe'en is one of our favourite times of year and my husband likes to go all out decorating our front yard. I always have fun finding new animated toys to add to our decorations and love seeing the little trick or treaters faces light up when they come to our house.

To make my card this week, I began with a card base of Hammermill - Premium Colour 100 lb., cut and scored to be 5.5" x 4.25". I die cut the background paper from Pebbles - Boo! cardstock to be the same size and attached it to the base using double-sided tape. Using My Creative Time - Rectangle Frame Layers and my Anna Griffin Empress Mini Machine, I die cut Scrapbook.com - Brights Smooth Cardstock for the larger frame. Using the same machine, I die cut Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card cardstock using My Creative Time - Rectangle Frame Dies. The thin stripes were die cut using Scrapbook.com - Rainbow Smooth Cardstock and PinkFresh Studio - Slim Stripes dies. Lastly, I cut a black strip using Recollections - Black cardstock to the size of 4.25" x 1-3/8".

I stamped the main image onto the Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card die cut using my MISTI and Memento - Tuxedo Black ink and coloured it in. The sentiment was stamped onto a scrap piece of orange paper cardstock using my MISTI and Memento - Tuxedo Black and then it was die cut using my cutting machine and Gina K Designs - Sentiment Strips.

The card was now ready to assemble. I ran the thin strips through my Xyron Create a Sticker and adhered them to the black strip leaving small spaces in between them to be the same as the witch's socks. I ran this whole piece through my Xyron Create a Sticker again so that it would lay completely flat when I adhered it to the base card. I added U-Line double-sided tape to the backs of the rectangles and sentiment and popped up all of the layers onto the card. Tim Holtz Distress Ink - Black Soot was used to ink around all of the edges of the card and Stickles - Diamond was added to the small dots at the top of the card above the stripe lines. Gelly Roll Sparkle Pen was added to the sky to create some sparkly stars.

Witchy and Friends!!

It’s Wednesday, and this week, I made a Hallowe'en card using High Hopes Rubber Stamps Witchy & Friends - TT019 for the image and Take Flight - HH008 for the sentiment. This little witch and her crew don't look like they could frighten anyone, but I'm sure they will have lots of fun trying! LOL!

To make my card this week, I began with a card base of Hammermill - Premium Colour 100 lb. cardstock, cut and scored to be 4.25" x 5.5". I cut the background to be the same size using Doodlebug Design Inc. - Ghost Town patterned paper and adhered it to the base card using double-sided tape. Doodlebug Design Inc. - Hallowe'en Parade patterned paper was cut to the size of 1-7/8" x 5.5" and adhered directly to the base background using double-sided tape.

I stamped the sentiment and image using my MISTI and Memento - Tuxedo Black ink onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card cardstock. Using my Anna Griffin Empress Mini die-cutting Machine and Hero Arts - Infinity Die Ovals, the image was die cut. A cutter was used to cut around the sentiment. Tim Holtz Distress Ink - Villainous Potion and a finger dauber were used to ink around the base card and sentiment. The image was coloured in and then I used a Sakura Glaze - Black pen for the eyes and noses on the characters. Then, I applied a small dot of Gelly Roll Sakura #8 Pen to the eyes and also to create stars in the night sky. U-Line double-sided tape was added to the back of the coloured image and sentiment and then they were both popped up onto the card. To finish it off, I added some YNS Gumdrops - Pretty Peacock Matte.

Dracula and Friends!!

It’s Wednesday, and this week, I made a Hallowe'en card using High Hopes Rubber Stamps Bat Friends - TT043 for the image and Special Treat - H234 for the sentiment. I can't believe it's August already and that means it's time to get started on Hallowe'en and Fall cards. This is the first of many to come this month.

To make my card this week, I began with a card base of AC Cardstock - White, cut and scored to be 6" x 6". I cut the background to be the same size using Craft Consortium - Happy Haunting paper and adhered it to the base card using double-sided tape. Using my Cuttlebug, I die cut the larger piece for the background using the same paper and Penny Black Creative Dies - Antique Frame. I inked around the base card and die cut using Tim Holtz Distress Ink - Villainous Potion. Using the same dies, I die cut Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card and then stamped the image onto it using my MISTI and Memento - Tuxedo Black ink.

The image was coloured in with Copic markers. I stamped the sentiment using my MISTI and Memento - Tuxedo Black ink. I inked very lightly over the top of it with some purple that I had left on my brush. Then, I inked around the edges with Tim Holtz Distress Ink - Villainous Potion. I added U-Line double-sided tape to the backs of all 3 pieces and then popped them up onto the card. To finish it off, I added some YNS Gumdrops - Spellbound.

Free Broom Rides!!!

It’s Wednesday, and this week, I made a card using Free Broom Rides - TT017 by High Hopes Rubber Stamps for the main image and Wicked - FF052 (High Hopes Rubber Stamps) for the sentiment. Wouldn't you love to go on a magical broom for a ride? I know I would.

To make my card this week, I began with a card base made from Hammermill - Premium Colour 100 lb. cut and scored to be 5.5" x 5.5". I cut the background paper from Echo Park - I Love Halloween paper pad to be the same size as the base and inked around the edges and onto the paper using Tim Holtz Distress Ink - Carved Pumpkin and a Picket Fence - Blending Brush. I applied this directly to the base card using double-sided tape. Using my Cuttlebug and Essentials by Tattered Lace Dies - Easel Slider dies, I die cut Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card and orange cardstock. Using black cardstock I cut another piece to the size of 5.5" x 1.25". I applied this to the base using double-sided tape. I inked around the orange die cut with a Picket Fence - Blending Brush and Tim Holtz Distress Ink - Black Soot. I applied 3M VHB - 2 sided tape to the back of the orange die cut and applied it to the base.

The image and sentiment were then stamped using my MISTI and Memento - Tuxedo Black ink. I coloured in the image with Copic markers. The sentiment was die cut with my Cuttlebug and Whimsy - Quick Strips Die Set dies. I inked around the edges and on top by first using Tim Holtz Distress Ink - Carved Pumpkin with a Picket Fence - Blending Brush and then around the edges again, this time using Tim Holtz Distress Ink - Black Soot. To finish off the card, I applied 3M VHB - 2 sided tape to the back of the image and sentiment and popped them both up.

Pumpkin Buddies!!!

 It’s Wednesday, and this week, I made a card using Pumpkin Buddies - TT020 by High Hopes Rubber Stamps for the main image and Happy Halloween Script - F232 (High Hopes Rubber Stamps) for the sentiment. These little Hallowe'en friends look like they're getting ready to scare unsuspecting little ones this year. LOL!

To make my card this week, I began with die-cutting Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card with My Creative Time - Rectangle Frame Layers for the main image and Whimsy Stamps - Quick Strips Die Set for the sentiment. The image and sentiment were then stamped using my MISTI and Memento - Tuxedo Black ink onto the die cuts. The image and grass were coloured in with Copic markers. The nose and eyes for the characters were coloured in using Sakura Glaze - Black Pen and Gelly Roll Sakura #8 Pen. I stamped out the image a second time and used my Brother Scan and Cut to cut it out so that I could use it as a mask to put over the coloured image. I also die cut a 1.5" circle out of Inkadoo Stamping Mask Paper for the moon.

I placed the mask over top of the coloured image and the moon masked circle onto the large rectangle before I inked in the sky using various Tim Holtz inks listed below. I watched a video on YouTube by Glitter Grunge Greetings for inspiration on how to create my night sky. Once the sky was complete, I removed the mask for the moon and used the outside paper that I had cut the moon from to protect the sky while I inked in the texture for it using Picket Fence Studio Blender Brushes, Tim Holtz Ranger Distress Oxide - Fossilized Amber and Tim Holtz Distress Ink - Hickory Smoke. I spritzed the moon and sky with some water. I removed all of the masks at this point and using double-sided tape, I applied the coloured image to my card base using The Paper Studio - Primary Base Colours 4.25" x 5.5". Lastly, I applied some Tim Holtz Ranger Distress Oxide - Fossilized Amber to the outside edges of my sentiment and pop it up on the card using 3M VHB - 2 sided tape.

Witchy Poo's Happy Hallowe'en!!!

It’s Wednesday, and Sitting Witchy Poo from (High Hopes Rubber Stamps) is back again to celebrate a Happy Hallowe'en and wondering what to do with all her candy.  My husband and I just LOVE Hallowe'en! We try to decorate our yard every year for the little ghosts and goblins who come to visit and we give out lots and lots of candy. Our front lawn gets turned into a grave yard for a day with spooky black cats, crows, skeletons, and more. On the porch we put out all of the animated little toys and of course the talking skeletons playing poker at the Bistro table. LOL! The children just love it and so do the parents! LOL!

To create the card this week, I stamped the main image and then coloured it with Copic Markers listed below. I fussy cut around Witchy Poo leaving just a little bit of white around the top of her body, but going directly to the line for the bottom of her. Flag Banner Dies from Craftin' Desert Diva's (restired) were used for the die cut and then the sentiment was stamped onto it. Tim Holtz Distress Ink - Carved Pumpkin was applied around the edges to create a frame around the orange cardstock.

To create the background, Pebbles - Boo! paper was used. I wanted to add something a little extra so I pulled out my Kraftin' Kimmie - Bats and Moons Stencil and applied Nuvo Glimmer Paste - Amethyst Purple! I just love the way it turned out. The bottom piece of cardstock was cut at 1" x 5.5". Tim Holtz Distress Ink - Black Soot was used to go around all of the edges of the top and bottom piece.

Once everything was dry my card was ready to be assembled. I began with a standard white card base of 4.25" x 5.5". I mounted the coloured circles and bats cut at the same size directly on top of the base with 2-sided tape. I did the same with the candy on the very bottom. The image and the sentiment were both popped up with 3M VHB - 2 sided tape. Finally, to cover some of my paste boo-boos, I added in some candy corn from Dress My Craft - Dessert Mix.

Witchy Poo and Kitty are looking out to see all of the wonderful little trick or treaters coming to visit them for their treats! What are you dressing up as this year?

To make the card, I started with a 5.5" x 4.25" cards base. My Mind's Eye - Dolled Up - 6" x 6" was cut to the same size and adhered to the base card with double-sided tape. Tim Holtz Distress Ink - Walnut Stain ink was used to edge across the bottom of the card. The image was stamped and then coloured in with Copic Markers. I used my Brother Scan and Cut to cut around the image and then used a black marker to go around all of the edges.

The sentiment was stamped and then die cut with Essentials by Tattered Lace Dies - Easel Slider. Tim Holtz Distress Ink - Carved Pumpkin and a black marker were used to ink all of the 4 sides of the sentiment.

The coloured image and sentiment were popped up onto the card using 3M VHB - 2 sided tape and some stickers were add for embellishments.

Stuffed with Love

It’s Wednesday, and this week, I used Angel Bear Scarecrow - T110 (High Hopes Rubber Stamps) for the main image and Scarecrows Stuffed - H087 (High Hopes Rubber Stamps) for the sentiment. The turkey is hiding behind the angel bear for protection from becoming captured. He doesn't want to become someone's Thanksgiving Dinner. The crows are shrugging their shoulders, because they are just not sure what's going to happen! Let's hope this little angel bear can protect him. LOL!

To make my card this week, I started out with a simple white card base, sized at 5.5" x 5.5". The base background was also cut at 5.5" x 5.5" using PhotoPlay - Mad 4 Plaid Fall paper. The added touches at the top and bottom are also from the same paper pad.

The main image was stamped onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card and then die cut with My Creative Time - Rectangle Frame Dies Layers. It was coloured in with Copic Markers and Sakura Glaze - Black pen was used for the eyes and nose. The layer behind the image was die cut from green cardstock using My Creative Time - Rectangle Frame Dies. The sentiment square was die cut using orange cardstock and My Creative Time -Stitched Squares Inside and Out. The image and sentiment were popped up on top of the remaining layers with 3M VHB - 2 sided tape and some Kraftin' Kimmie Dots were added to finish the card off.
