Ghosts Creating Potions

By on September 28, 2024 in Halloween, Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I have a new card and video with Ghosts creating potions!

Watch the video here:

I love this Castle Arches die set…it is good for so many occasions and today it’s a dungeon with ghosts!

I created this background with Metallic cardstock and black paint in THIS VIDEO. I love how it looks.

I think ghosts creating potions in a dungeon is so funny! (Halloween sense of humor). Miss Ink Stamps has some great sets for creating this scene!

Can you find the black cat?! It’s from the Under the Stairs die set! I thought this scene needed a little cat to finish off the look. *Wink*

boo-with-broom-card-2
Light up Ghost card
By  on September 25, 2024  in Halloween, Paper Crafting   

	

	    

Hello! Today I have a light up ghost card for you with a video! Watch the video below or on YouTube:













Today I’m using specialty paper from Your Paper Insider, but you could also use vellum or any specialty papers you want to try with lights! Please watch the video to see how this came together.





I die cut the ghost on a 5×7 panel of light pink cardstock, added the specialty paper to the back, lined up the One Light from Pear Blossom Press and marked the panel with a light pencil mark to see where I needed to put that “press” stamp. Once I had the placement, I stamped the “Press” with black ink and heat embossed it with clear embossing powder. 






		
		
			
			
		
	





Next, I added some delightful details, like the witches hat, bats, heart and hey boo sentiment cut out of glitter paper.






		
		
			
			
		
	





I love how the heart lights up and the heart diffuses the light a little more. I keep singing “Turn on Your Heart Light” (Neil Diamond fans, anyone?) Ha ha. That was a favorite of my Dad’s, but now it’s stuck in my head.





I just love the extra texture from the specialty paper. If you are interested in a subscription box where you get surprise papers from all around the world, check out Your Paper Insider (I’ve linked them below). I am not an affiliate for them, but I did love the box I got and wanted to share!





For my bonus card of course I wanted to use the pink ghost I cut out from the first card! here I put her together with a broom and pink skull & bones, and a little candy corn shape sprinkle from Doodlebug!






		
		
			
			
		
	





I used a candy corn background for this also, which I stenciled on to a black cardstock panel using oxide inks. Doesn’t it look a little spookier that way?

spell-book-7
Halloween Pop-Up Spell Book
By  on September 10, 2024  in Halloween, Holidays, Paper Crafting   

	

	    

Hello! Today I’m making a Halloween Pop-Up Spell Book and I hope you love it as much as I do!





Watch the video below or on YouTube:














		
		
			
			
		
	






		
		
			
			
		
	





First of all, the Spell Book Cover Plate Die is amazing and includes those spider web corners, cauldron, label die (with black cat at the top), and all the accessories you could want to decorate the front of your book! I completely fell in love when I saw it. 





I cut the book base with metallic storm grey cardstock, which I think adds to the magical feeling of this spell book! Then of course I wanted to add some pink glitter…so I cut the background of that label with pink glitter cardstock.






		
		
			
			
		
	





For the inside, I built up a fun layered look using the book sides as places to secure my pieces. I also created an acetate “Bridge” to help stablize the witches. (watch the video to see how this works).






		
		
			
			
		
	





I love those dancing witches! I used the cauldron once again on the inside, this time with a hot pink glitter potion inside. I adore the book shelves with all the details in these dies: there are books, potions, a little witches hat, and many more dies to choose from!





I wanted a base of jack-o-lanterns, which I cut from the Pumpkin Kitties die set (along with that black glitter cat on the right).






		
		
			
			
		
	





For the inside of the book, I cut another label and used the remaining book shelf with hanging items (a spider, a scroll, and some herbs). I thought the “Pick Your Poison” die was appropriate! This is cut from the same hot pink glitter cardstock as the cauldron potion.






		
		
			
			
		
	





I had to put some pink stripes on the spine of my spell book! I think it ties everything together so well.

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! 












		
		
			
			
		
	





You can bet I will be making many more of these! I love, love, love how it turned out. I hope you enjoyed this Pop-Up Book today! 
Thanks for stopping by.

all-4-cards
Glow in the Dark Cards
By  on October 26, 2023  in Halloween, Holidays, Paper Crafting   

	

	    

Hello! Today I have some Glow in the Dark Cards as a part of my Halloween card series. What’s even better: they have black kitty cats on them!





Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:














		
		
			
			
		
	





These cards were so fun and easy to make, and the addition of GLOW PASTE really makes them pop. I have brought in my black light to take pictures of them to show  you the glowing backdrops for those kitties.






		
		
			
			
		
	






		
		
			
			
		
	






		
		
			
			
		
	






		
		
			
			
		
	





Aren’t they fun?! To make these cards I started off with the stenciled backgrounds in a few different colors. Then I made the glow paste circles on black cardstock.





I colored all those cute kitties up with Copic markers and used foam tape to attach them to the (dried) black circles.





I stamped the sentiments and the spiderwebs with black ink onto the card panels and put them all onto black cardstock mats.






		
		
			
			
		
	





I really love how these turned out (even if I DID have other card ideas in my head). Sometimes these take on a mind of their own!

SUNSHINE-both-witch-cards
A Bear, a Hedgehog, and a Broom
By  on October 16, 2023  in Halloween, Holidays, Paper Crafting   

	

	    

Hello! Today I have a new card with a Bear, a Hedgehog and a Broom as a part of my Halloween Card Series. You KNOW I just HAD to make a bear witch! (I love bears)!





Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:














		
		
			
			
		
	





Of course I had to use all the critters in this die set, so I made a Bear and a hedgehog card and then I made a bonus fox card!






		
		
			
			
		
	





I just adore these critters! Watch the video to see some easy ways to color up the die cut critters with inks (and a touch of Copic markers).






		
		
			
			
		
	





I love the silver spider web embossed in the background. Each of these characters can hold something in their hands (I love a die with such a great detail)…so I put the broom in the bear’s hands, and a mini pumpkin in the hedgehog’s hands.





I started out with colored cardstock for their witches hats and added detail with ink! It’s easy when you have a beveled brush.






		
		
			
			
		
	





Once I finished this card, I felt like that fox was left out….so I made a bonus card!
