Cat Mandala

By on August 26, 2023 in Paper Crafting

Hello! I’m back with another card in my Halloween Card Series with a Cat Mandala card. This is a fun (and super easy card) to create! I am absolutely in love with this Halloween Stencil from Miss Ink Stamps…it creates a beautiful card.

Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:

To create this card I started by stamping the cat image in the center of the panel. Then I made a MASK using the Magnolia Frame Die and some thin computer paper. I stuck that mask down with some repositionable adhesive.

After that, I was ready to use that amazing Halloween Mandala stencil! I used two shades of orange ink and a little black ink around the very edges. Once I was finished ink blending, I removed the stencil and the mask and was ready to color up the cat with Copic markers.

I added the frame around the cat (building it up with multiple layers) and then added some polka dots in the white space. You could leave the white space if you wanted, but I love the polka dots!

I added a white heat embossed sentiment, using black cardstock and a thin layer of metallic gold cardstock. To finish off this card, I added some orange and black gems around the mandala AND some yellow stickles to the cat’s eyes. (Ooohh…spooky!)

Light Up your Card

Hello! Today I have a Light up Jack-O-Lantern Card video to share. This is an easy way to create a Jack-o-Lantern (easier than carving it!) that lights up. I couldn’t love this interactive card any more than I already do. I hope you enjoy!





Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:














		
		
			
			
		
	






		
		
			
			
		
	





When I told my husband I wanted to color this pumpkin house PURPLE, he was skeptical. But I had a vision in my head and to make it come to life was such fun! I used some darker shades of Copic markers in purple and I just love the effect.






		
		
			
			
		
	





I used some EZ Lights again and they are so easy and fun! I think the coloring on this card took LONGER than making it light up. LOL. I share just how to do this in my video.

So now here’s the question: will you make a Jack-o-Lantern card? Thanks for stopping by today!

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.

Introducing “Mr. Spooky”

Hello! Today I have some easy Halloween backgrounds to share with you, along with a story about Mr. Spooky. See, I saw this skeleton die cut and it reminded me of this story I had to tell you…so I made a couple cards and a video.






		
		
			
			
		
	





Isn’t he cute?! I couldn’t wait to create a card with him holding this giant lantern! Lol.





Watch the video (and hear about Mr. Spooky) below or in HD on YouTube:













I used my FAVORITE brick embossing folder for this first card on black paper, and highlighted parts of it with gesso. This made parts of the brick background really reflect some light. 





I also added some cream cardstock behind that lantern to make it pop off the bricks.






		
		
			
			
		
	





For the second card, I heat embossed that damask stamp onto a Stormy Metallic cardstock. I used a new rainbow glitter embossing powder that looks amazing on this cardstock.





The sentiments are from the All Seasons Sentiments paper pack. These sentiments are foilable, but I wanted to keep them black for these Halloween cards.

I share the story of my Nephew and his skeleton he calls “Mr. Spooky” on the video! I love that kid.





Thanks for stopping by!

Red Brick Spooky House
By  on October 23, 2021  in Uncategorized   

	

	    

Hello! I’m happy to be back and sharing another Halloween card! This time I have a Red Brick Spooky House to share, along with a no-coloring technique I hope you will love!





It’s all detailed in the video below, or watch it in HD on YouTube:













I love this new set from Miss Ink Stamps! It’s a great Halloween House and it also has the cutest critters in the set (I didn’t use them in my project today).






		
		
			
			
		
	






		
		
			
			
		
	





I LOVE this brick embossing folder. It looks so realistic, and it’s great in either red or grey! (I can’t wait to try other colors, too!)





I added some grout details with Distress Paints, and I really think that adds a lot. The technique for this is very simple, paint it on and wipe off the excess with your finger! I show you how in the video.

Those sentiments are just perfect, aren’t they!?





I hope you enjoyed these cards today! I have a few Halloween projects left to share before the big day. I can never get enough in before the day sneaks up on me. Lol. See you soon!
