Frenchie Halloween

Today’s interactive card features an image from the Simon Says Stamp Fall Frenchies stamp set and the Lawn Fawn Let’s Toast Pull Tab die set.

I stamped the witch image and colored it using alcohol markers. I cut off the image of the dog from the pumpkin, making sure to leave its paws attached to the pumpkin. I used the Lawn Fawn Let’s Toast die set to make the dog’s head pop out of the pumpkin.

To create the scene, I cut some green grassy hillsides and adhered them to the bottom of the orange card panel. I cut an oak tree using the Hello Bluebird Oak Tree die set and outlined the embossed lines on the tree using a brown marker. I glued the tree on top of the grassy hillside. I stamped and cut several leaves from the stamp set and colored them using a variety of alcohol markers. The leaves were scattered amongst the scene.

I cut the sentiment from yellow cardstock using Tim Holtz’s Alphanumeric Label dies and adhered them to the bottom of the card. The card panel was glued to a kraft card base. I used Spellbinder’s Glimmer hot foil on orange cardstock to create the sentiment on the inside of the card. I cut around the sentiment using some nested border dies. These were adhered to dark brown cardstock and glued to the inside card base.

This card used several supplies from different paper crafting companies. I love stretching my stamp and die sets to use them in new and fun ways.

Tim Holtz Spencer Halloween Card

I can't get enough of Tim Holtz's Colorize Spencer die set. The detail and dimension of this image is absolutely amazing. Today's card features Spencer, 3-D embossing folders, and a few other Tim Holtz Halloween dies sets. The main card panel was made by embossing a piece of silver foil cardstock using the Sizzix 3-D Textured Impressions Pinwheel embossing folder. I watered down a few drops of black acrylic paint and used a paint brush to brush the paint onto the embossed panel. I let the paint dry for about a minute and then took a paper towel to rub off the excess paint. I adhered this panel to a black card base. The smaller card panel was made by embossing a piece of black cardstock with the Tim Holtz Sizzix 3-D Texture Fades Mini Cobblestone embossing folder. I added a few drops of Sterling Distress Foundry Wax to a craft mat and used my finger to apply the Foundry Wax to the embossed panel. I added a black matte behind this emboss...

#HAILTHESAIL

Today's layout was inspired by Day 1of @christys_beautiful_life 30 Days of Sketches Series 8. Today's triangular sketch was created by Laura Whitaker. The Scraptember challenge for this sketch was stitching. As soon as I saw the triangle on this layout, I knew I wanted to use a sailboat to document my daughter's new student orientation day at her college by the sea. I used my Cricut machine to cut a large sailboat out of a piece of blue whitewashed cardstock. After losing a time-consuming battle with my sewing machine, I was able to get some blue stitches around the edges of the sailboat. I glued the sailboat to the blue star paper from Vicki Boutin's Color Study collection. I used the blue and white striped paper from the Color Study collection to create the large banner. I inked the edges of the banner with Black Soot Distress ink. I matte the banner with a small strip of the black script paper from the 6x8 paper p...

Pumpkin Picking

Today's fun Halloween card features the Tim Holtz Colorize Pumpkinhead Colorize die set and Distress Mica Stains. I started by spraying a water color panel with Hocus Pocus, Jack-O-Lantern, and Empty Tomb Halloween Distress Mica Stains. For the moon, I die cut a circle out of water color paper. I ink smooshed Antique Linen and Weathered Wood Distress Oxide Inks onto a craft mat and sprayed them with water. I pushed the circle into the inks and dabbed off the excess ink and water with a paper towel. I inked the edges of the moon with Black Soot Distress Oxide Ink. I adhered the moon to the water color panel and added a black bat to the top of the moon. Next, I die cut several trees, bats, and fences out of black cardstock. I also die cut a couple of fences from silver foil cardstock. I adhered the trees to both sides of the card panel. I slightly offset the silver foiled fence from the black fence and adhered the fence pieces to the bottom of the...
