Pop Up Halloween Card

Hello! Today I have a not-so-scary Pop Up Halloween Card and Video to share. Watch it below or in HD on YouTube:

Look at that spooky spider wearing roller skates! Ha ha…this is probably the scariest spider I have ever colored up.

I love the Spider Stencil in the background…I used a little glitter paste for that.

When you open the card, this little ghost pops up to say “BOO!” I hope you’ll watch the video to see how easy this pop-up mechanism is.

I’m often asked what supplies I use to make my cards and projects, so I’ve put together a list using affiliate links when possible. If you make a purchase with these links I may receive a small commission. These help me to keep up with blog costs and continue bringing you fun projects. Thank you so much for your support!






Hope you enjoyed this card today! Happy Halloween!

Have you tried the BetterPress?

Hello, it’s Kari here with a new Christmas tag to share using the Press plates from Crafty Meraki. Have you tried the Better Press yet?

Watch the video below or on YouTube to see how fun it is to use 2 inks:

I love the new press plates and this one was so fun to color! I used GOLD ink first, then black right over the top of that. If you look closely you can see a little shadow of gold ink around the edges of the image. This is not necessary to do, but I LOVED the gold for this holiday project!

I colored it up with Copic markers and share all the details in the video. Then I cut it out with the Hugs Slimline tag die (shortening it with the technique I also share in the video).

I finished it off with some pink glitter paper and pink & gold ribbon, with a touch of pom pom yarn! Such a fun look.

More Betterpress tips (and a giveaway!)

Hello! Today I have more betterpress tips in my video and giveaway with Crafty Meraki! Watch the video below and then check out the description for the complete video hop and the instructions to enter to win a Betterpress and a Crafty Meraki Press plate from their new collection!

This Love Potion press plate is beautiful!! Today I used some of my favorite Catherine Pooler ink to ink it up! YES! You can use other inks with the BetterPress. But please watch my video first before you use this ink so you can see a trick for protecting your BetterPress surface! (this ink will get everywhere because it is a foam pad!)

I used the coordinating die to cut out the image and add some extra layers for dimension.

The sentiment is pressed as well from the Gilded Expressions press plate and cut with the coordinating die.

Double Window Shaker

Hello! Today I have a Double Window Shaker card to share with some new Magical stamps and dies from Miss Ink Stamps.

Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:

This card was fun to make…with 2 acetate windows that allow you to see back into the staircase on the card base! Take a look at the video for all the details!

I love the Magical Collection at Miss Ink Stamps. I used the Lightning Bolt stencil with Lunar Paste on the front panel, along with the Letters stamp set and Back To Class stamp set (from the new release). See those shaker bits inside the windows? Those are brand new from the newest release and small enough for shaker pieces OR as an element on your card.
