Going Batty: Halloween Card Series

By on August 21, 2023 in Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I am excited to introduce my Halloween Card Series for 2023. I have a fun set of cards to share with 2 ways to create bats for your cards.

Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:

These bats are the cutest bat dies, with crazy eyes you can color up any color you want. I used Purple, Green and red eyes for one card, and black eyes for the other card.

Card 1: Batty Grave

This card was so fun to make: with Mica Spray, Ink, Dies, and ink blending! I share the how-to in the video.

I popped up those bats with foam tape so there’s some great dimension on this card. That green ink really makes it look like a “green glow” and I think it’s so spooky!

2. Slimy Cave

This card uses a little more coloring to add some detail to those bats and the green slime. But don’t worry…it’s really easy and I show you exactly how in my video!

I die cut the “EEK” with green glitter paper and the shadows with cream and purple cardstock. This sentiment really shines!!

Did you notice all the beady little eyes looking at you from the background?!? Oooooh…there’s some more bats, or even something creepier in the background.

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!

Adding Flock to cards

Hello! Today I’m up at the Maker Forte blog to share some Flocked Halloween cards. 





Have you used flock on your cards before? Join me in class tomorrow night October 21, 2022 at 7:30 pm. Eastern time at the Hedgehog Hollow YouTube channel to learn how to use it!






		
		
			
			
		
	





I love the texture and velvety feel that flock adds to cards! Here the polka dots, the hats and bats, and the entire background of these cards are flocked! And that “HI” sentiment is also flock that I colored with some ink blending.

Bats & Spiders!

Hello! Today I’m so excited to share a new video with some interesting backgrounds for Bats & Spiders. I’m using some new stamps & dies from Heffy Doodle…and this one called Let’s Hang Out is a favorite.





Watch the video below or on YouTube:














		
		
			
			
		
	





Aren’t these bats and spiders the cutest? I love them so much…better than real ones! lol.





I started out with a couple backgrounds that are so fun for these critters, and then I share how to put these cards together in the video.

What’s Brewing?
By  on September 29, 2022  in Halloween, Holidays   

	

	    

Hello! Today I have a small witch’s cauldron card to share using the September Hedgehog Hollow kit. I have to say these images in the stamp set are so fun to create with! Today I chose a ghost and a witches hat (combined they create the cutest Witch Ghost!), a cauldron, and a broom.






		
		
			
			
		
	





I chose a couple of the papers from the kit: a grey spiderweb paper and a black and white bat paper. I changed the bat paper to GREEN with a little Limewired Color Hive ink…this is a neon green and so perfect for this Halloween card!





Then I cut down the spiderweb paper to be a little smaller and inked on the “BOO” from one of the stencils in the kit. I set that aside to dry while I colored the images.






		
		
			
			
		
	





I used Copic markers to color these images and tried to match that Limewired ink color for the hat. The cauldron got a line of Limewired gems that matched perfectly!





Before I added these images with foam tape, I inked the edge of the spiderweb paper with Vegas Strip ink to give more of a contrast.





Then I put it all together on a card base! So. Much. FUN!






		
		
			
			
		
	






		
		
			
			
		
	





Thanks for stopping by today! I’ll be back with more cards to share soon!
