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?

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!

Arrrgh! Talk Like a Pirate Treasure Hunt
By  on September 18, 2024  in Paper Crafting   

	

	    

Arrrgh! Today is Talk Like a Pirate day and we are celebrating with a TREASURE Hunt at Whimsy Stamps!





I have a card to share and I dare you to find the hidden icon as a part of your TREASURE to collect! (visit the Whimsy Stamps & Inspiration Facebook Page for the full details of how to collect all the icons)






		
		
			
			
		
	





I usually add a touch of red to my pirate cards, but today I kept it fairly neutral with a touch of gold! I used the TREASURE Map die with coordinating TREASURE Map stamps, Arggh die, and the Spiders & Web die set. The little pirate mouse is from last years Whimsy STAMPtember collab stamp set! (no longer available)






		
		
			
			
		
	





For the sentiment, I added the Harlequin stencil with black glitter paste over gray paper. Then I die cut the word from that once it was completely dry. I think it adds a fun texture and design to the word!





The “Gimme Candy” sentiment is from this Monsters Halloween set.






		
		
			
			
		
	





I hope you can find the TREASURE for your hunt and head back to the Whimsy Stamps & Inspiration Facebook page for further instruction.

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.





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! 












		
		
			
			
		
	





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.
