Haunted Family Portraits

By KariV on October 5, 2023 in Halloween, Holidays, Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I have a fun and quick Haunted Family Portraits card to share with you. I’m using a SMALL 3×4 stamp set for this card…but this little stamp set really packs a punch!

Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:

Does this look like your family portrait hallway?! I was reminded of the Disney Haunted mansion with those family portraits whose eyes follow you down the hallway! So funny.

I love that there is a small silhouette stamp set with these images and this frame. It is perfect for building a portrait card like this.

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!

I hope you enjoyed this project today! I’ll be back soon with more cards to share.

Happiest Skeletons

By KariV on September 20, 2023 in Halloween, Holidays, Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I have a new video and two cards to share with the Happiest Skeletons! I’m also sharing the absolute easiest way to mask and ink on a card.

Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:

I’m excited to share that Whimsy now has No Fuss Masks (for many of their stamp sets)…and one that they are introducing TODAY is this one to match this new stamp set!

For this first card, I stamped the images and then stamped the EXTRA hand and foot stamps on the background. I colored everything up with Copics (cool greys for the main characters, and warm greys for the extra limbs)!

I love this slimline Filmstrip Die…I do think it is perfect for this card. I stenciled on that spider and the bats in the background with black ink.

For this second card, I used those No Fuss Masks (which I LOVE!!!) and masked off the skeletons so I could ink on the backgrounds and add some stenciling and stamping, without getting ink on those main characters. It’s an amazing new product!

I hope you enjoyed these projects today! I’ve been loving the Halloween Card Series, and I hope you have too! See you soon with more cards.

Going Batty: Halloween Card Series

By KariV 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.
