Cards

Good morning! It’s Lindsey here today. I am a HUGE fan of the new Candy Treats Dies and couldn’t wait to start creating with them! Obviously there are some intended layering options here, but you’d be surprised at how many different combinations you can make with all the bits and pieces included in this set.  

I loved all the possibilities, so I decided to make a card entirely covered with candies. I considered mixing and matching colors, but decided to make a gradient card instead transitioning from orange to pink. 

To create the card, I ran all the Candy Treats dies through the machine four times in various shades of pink and orange. Next, I assembled my candies. Remember, the sky’s the limit here. Don’t be afraid to swap out a candy center that you think may be intended for something else. 

As I arranged the candies on my card base I kept a couple things in mind. Obviously color was the top priority, but I also tried to vary placement of candies by type, ones that were layered vs solid, as well as candies that did or did not have stitched lines. And don’t forget to start with the larger images first and fill in with the smaller bits. Luckily with this many dies you will have lots of pieces/sizes at your disposal.  

To finish off my card I stamped and trimmed out a sentiment from the previously released Halloween Wreath stamp set and mounted it on top of a big, black rectangle. 

The Candy Treats die set is a must-have in my opinion. It works great for Halloween, but will be perfect for tons of other occasions. I’m thinking Christmas candies, birthdays, Valentine’s, sweet thank yous, or any card for the kids (or kids at heart) in your life. :) I can’t wait to see what you create with it!

Hello friends! Raquel here today sharing some inspiration with the Spider Web die! This die has just been released and I believe it’s a must have for all your Halloween themed projects.

I started this project by using the Layered Candy Corn Stencils. Love these layered stencils to create fun and very quick backgrounds! I used Spun Sugar, Seedless Preserves and Wild Honey Distress Oxide Inks to color this fun corn. 

Once the background was done, I trimmed it to 4 ¼ by 5 ½ inches. I couldn’t help creating a shaker with these stencils.

To create a frame to build my shaker, I used the new Wonky Stitched Rectangles. I used the largest rectangle to cut out a panel with an orchid cardstock. Then I used a rectangle die, two times shorter to create my frame.

COPIC MARKER COLORS

E30, E31, E33, E35 and E37 for the head, legs and arms.

W00 and W1 for the dressing.

Y17, YR04 and YR 07 for the pumpkin.

Then I adhered a piece of acetate and foam adhesive to the back and adhered it to the stenciled background where I had already sprinkled some white glitter. I didn’t want to add any more sequins or additional embellishments to my shaker as I thought the colorful background was enough.

Next up, I die cut a white web with the super cute Spider Web Die. My initial idea was to use black cardstock to cut it out but then I decided to use plain white cardstock, so the final result was more cohesive.

I did use black cardstock to cut out three spiders with the cutest spider die that is included in the Spider Web Die set. 

Lastly, I colored the sweet bear from the Halloween Critters Stamp Set using Copic Markers. I also white heat embossed the sentiment from the Halloween Envelopes Stamp set.

I hope you like this card and feel inspired to create with these super fun Halloween products.

Crafty hugs!

Hello crafty friends! It’s Leica here with an easy-to-make Halloween card. I love that I can make a quick card with the new Layered Pumpkins Stencils.

I started out with a light pink cardstock and ink blended through the Layered Pumpkins Stencils with Distress Oxide Inks in Kitsch Flamingo, Mowed Lawn, Picked Raspberry, and Vintage Photo. I then cut the panel using the largest die in the Wonky Stitched Rectangles dies. 

For the sentiment, I stamped the You Are part directly on the stenciled panel. I then stamped Spectacular in Wilted Violet Distress Oxide Ink and cut it with the coordinating die. The sentiment is from the Halloween Critters Stamp Set. I cut the Spectacular die a few times and stacked it for dimension. 

I then foam mounted the panel onto a violet card base. For the inside of the card, I added a Wonky Stitched Rectangle in white cardstock and inked the edges with Wilted Violet Distress Oxide Ink.

That’s all for this simple, yet oh-so-cute Halloween card. Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Hello friends! It’s Leica here today and I am sharing Halloween mini cards. These are so easy to make and there’s no coloring involved!. 

These mini cards measure 2.75” square. The panels are patterned paper (Doodlebug Design Inc. Candy Carnival) that I cut with a square die (it’s an old die that I got from the big box store). I then cut 4 of the Spider Web die in white cardstock and 4 spiders in black cardstock. I also glued a small piece of white cardstock for the eyes and mouth of the spider. Next, I cut 4 banners from the Halloween Envelopes Coordinating Die and stamped Happy Halloween on them (from the Boo Stamp Set). 

I adhered all the elements onto the cards and trimmed off the spider web, so that the card can fit inside the envelope. Lastly, I stamped the Halloween Borders on the envelopes in different inks to match the cards. 

These mini cards are perfect for Trick or Treat bags for friends and family. I hope that I’ve inspired you to create some. Have a great day!  

Hello, friends! It’s Lindsey here today. This new release is packed full of so many fun things, and I have had a blast creating with them. After making a bunch of colorful cards, I thought I would switch gears and do something with neutrals, and I have to admit that this might be my favorite of the bunch.  

I chose a black, white, and kraft color palette. The simplicity of the palette really speeds up the card making process. I started by stamping several images from the Ghost Friends stamp set in black and cutting them out with the coordinating dies. 

Next, I pulled out the new Wonky Stitched Rectangles. I ran the two middle sized wonky rectangles through the machine at the same time in order to create a frame. I wanted something that would further pull your eye in to the focal point, so I pulled out the previously released Birthday Circles coordinating dies. I cut the tag in black and layered the kraft wonky rectangle frame on top. The scallop edge from the tag extended above the frame just a bit, but a quick trim with my scissors took care of that. 

I popped up the layered frame on my card with dimensional foam, and then I added the cute little ghost, sentiment, and stars. I stamped a few stars directly onto the card and elevated a couple with dimensional foam. To balance out the solid and outline images, I ended up coloring the ghost’s bow black, and then added the tiniest Glossy Black Jewel in the center.

To give you an idea of scale, my finished card is more the size of a mini slimline.

This release is full of oodles of fun products, but these are definitely some of my favorites. You’ll definitely want to add them to your stash. ;) Make sure to check back soon to see lots more inspiration with this new release!
