I adore the Sage Symphony set from Crafty Meraki and I used these images today! I colored them up with Copic Markers and thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it.
The Bar None Mini Slimline is perfect for this card, to show that foiled paper behind it just enough! I used green Lily Pad Decofoil for the Floral Filigree Effortless Shimmer Paper. So easy to foil and such an impact!
I put it all together for a striking card. I hope you like it, too!

I started out with the Flower Fest stamp set, but if you don’t like coloring or want an easy SHORTCUT, try the Flower Fest Effortless Artistry Paper! The EAP is already colored for you and all you have to do is use the coordinating die to cut them all out! (I’ve linked both below for you to check out).
I arranged my favorite flowers around a Glitter cardstock cut to A2 card size (4 1/4 x 5 1/2). Then I used a sentiment from the Gilded Expressions stamp set. There is also a coordinating die set for this so I can cut out ALL of the sentiments at once. I love this!
If you want FOILED sentiments, check out the Gilded Expressions Effortless Shimmer paper…where you can foil the sentiments, and cut them with the coordinating die!

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?

Hello! Today I have a new card and video to share with the Magic Maker Pop Up Box Card. This is an awesome die set, and I couldn’t stop making box cards! I have a bonus card for you at the end.

Here’s my bonus box card:
I hope you enjoyed these cards today! Thanks for stopping by.
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.

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.
