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!

SUNSHINE-Alice-in-Halloweentown-card-4
Alice at Halloween
By  on September 23, 2023  in Halloween, Holidays, Paper Crafting   

	

	    

Hello! Today I have a new Alice at Halloween video to share with you. It’s a new card in my Halloween card series! I am sharing 3 ways to make a Halloween card using non-Halloween stamp sets.





Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:






https://youtu.be/yRSJEHEhUmI






This card was fun and simple to make! All you have to do to create a Halloween card using some Alice stamps (or any other non-Halloween stamp set) is follow these 3 steps:





  1. Use Halloween sentiments
  2. Use Halloween colors
  3. Bring in some small Halloween elements






		
		
			
			
		
	






		
		
			
			
		
	





The little pumpkins are from a few other Miss Ink Stamp sets I had…these are perfect for finishing off this scene!

I hope you enjoyed this project today! I’ll be back so soon with another card to share!

SUNSHINE-Trick-or-treat-candy-card-5
Creative Ways with Halloween Dies
By  on September 10, 2023  in Halloween, Holidays, Paper Crafting   

	

	    

Hello! Today I’ve got a new video in my Halloween Card Series sharing creative ways with Halloween Dies. This spooky tree is an absolute favorite of mine.





Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:













I loved creating this card with that Tree die as a background design element. I hope you will watch the video for some tips on creating this, and heat embossing on that Trick or Treat to create a shiny element. I create a special “tool” for easy embossing on a large die like this one.






		
		
			
			
		
	






		
		
			
			
		
	





I was inspired by the black, purple, and white candy corns…I hear they are Blackberry Cobbler flavored, but I have never tried one. Have you?

Kari-V-all-3-Harlequin-stencil-cards
Mixed Media Harlequin Cards
By  on September 2, 2023  in Halloween, Holidays, Paper Crafting   

	

	    

Hello! Today I have another episode in my Halloween Card Series with these Mixed Media Harlequin cards. I love the look of this harlequin stencil and it has 3 different areas on this stencil for different looks!





Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:













These harlequin cards are similar, but different. I started out with some light cardstock in green, purple and blue. Then I ink blended a darker shade around the perimeter of each panel. Then I cut a different pumpkin for each of them using patterned paper and white cardstock. 






		
		
			
			
		
	





For the green card, I stacked up that pumpkin before adding it to that harlequin background. I used some black ink to ink on those diamonds and stretched it out with a stencil trick that I share in my video.





Then I added some additional elements: a moon, web, and spider along with the Happy Halloween die cut in green and black. I offset the green to create a black shadow on the sentiment.






		
		
			
			
		
	





For the purple card, I used some Texture Paste and a different area of that harlequin stencil. I added some Antique Linen Distress ink around that white pumpkin to add more of a round look…and I do think it looks like it’s glowing! The spider, web, and Chills Word dies finish off this one.






		
		
			
			
		
	





For the blue card, I added the distressed harlequin portion of the stencil with some Crackle paste! I love this look! Then I added a pumpkin that was cut out of the BOOkeh paper. A simple sentiment and spider finish it off.






		
		
			
			
		
	





This little witch and cat are from the Wicked Cute stamp set. Aren’t they cute. I think they look great with the Pumpkin and Mini Jacks die cut set. For the background I added some black Paper Glaze. Once that dried, I stamped on some stars and dots with silver ink. 






		
		
			
			
		
	





One last card I have to share uses the Harlequin stencil in a different way: as a design for the sky, grass, and pathway.






		
		
			
			
		
	





I love that spooky house on this slimline card! I heat embossed the “Wicked Cute” sentiment and added some jack-o-lanterns along that pathway.
