Hi crafty friends, Debbie here! Today, I’m sharing a more elegant fall Fringe Pumpkinfrom the new release! I had this idea of doing a fun funky Fringe Pumpkin but I changed directions when I found this gingham pattern paper in my stash.
With the gingham pattern paper in hand my color palette was made. Trimming the pattern paper to 5 X 5 inches and matting it with 5 1/8 X 5 1/8 inch coral card stock. Both panels were then attached to a 5 1/2 X 5 1/2 side fold card base.
With theFringe Pumpkin Dies, I die cut the four layers out three times from mint card stock. But with two of the top layers I did with a small Polka dot pattern paper that matched the mint card stock. Adhering all the layers together with liquid glue and attached to the center of the pattern panel.
Next, I used the Winter Foliage Diesdie cut out the Flowers and Foliage in coral and mint card stock. I did do a little inking in the centers of the coral flowers to give some depth. Two small flowers were die cut out a Glitter card stock, always need glitter! For the larger flower I add two layers of foam squares to the back to bring it up to the level of the Fringe Pumpkin. Then adding a double satin bow to the top of the pumpkin.
For the sentiment I stamped out the “Thankful” from Fall Harvest stamp set. Then with the coordinating diescut it out and attached directly to the bottom of the Fringe Pumpkin. Lastly, I added Metallic Gold Pearlsto the centers of the flowers with liquid glue.
I hope you like this Fall Fringe Pumpkin! Thanks for stopping by and stay crafty my friends!
Hello, my friendly spooks! Justin here, and I am so excited to be sharing an adorably scary creation using the brand new August Release! For today’s post, I am featuring (2) brand new stamp sets: Spider Friendsand Halloween Words Scenes! Both of these stamp sets are just way too fun to color-up and get onto your project.
For this card, I started by coloring up my Spider Friends images, and the “SPOOKY” sentiment from the Halloween Word Scenes Die Set with my Olo Markers. I just LOVE how these little spiders are wearing their own Halloween costumes! I am pretty sure the mummy spider is my favorite! I also used the coordinating dies to cut each of the images out.
For my background, I took a 4” x 5.25” piece of gray cardstock, placed the Crackle Background Stencilover top, and blended it with Black Widow Stellar Ink by Simon Hurley Create. Then, with the stencil still over my background, I sprayed Royal Flush Solar Spray over my panel. By leaving the stencil on, the Solar Spray only was applied to the open stencil areas, and not the full background! Once the stencil was removed, I splattered White Opaque Paper Splatter onto the background as well.
Once my background was dry, I adhered it to a 4.125” x 5.375” panel of lime green cardstock, and then that entire unit to a 4.25” x 5.5” panel of orange cardstock.
Using foam tape, I adhered my 3 spiders and sentiment to my card. The foam tape allows them to have a little bit of pop! I also took some embellishments from the Halloween Friends Clay Confetti and adhered it to my card front as well.
I adhered my entire panel to an A2-size card base, and my project was completed!
I hope this project provided you with some fun ideas on how to mix and match some of the brand new August Halloween Release stamp sets together to create something frightfully amazing!
Thank you so much for stopping by, and happy crafting! Justin
Halloween greetings! Christina here to share with you this spooky cute crew that I whipped up using the new Halloween Cake Pops die set. The set comes with all the little accessories you need to get them dressed up for your next Halloween bash! I gave this trio a fun, dynamic backdrop that I made by layering two different stenciled panels and a Scallop Frame, each offset for something a little different and unexpected. Keep scrolling for the supply list and all the details about how this card came together!
I started this card by creating the two stenciled panels. For the base panel, I used the Halloween Words stencil and Black Soot Distress Oxide Ink on a white A2 cardstock panel. For the smaller stenciled panel, I used the second largest Stitched Torn Rectangle to die-cut white cardstock and then stenciled it with the Crackle Background using Mowed Lawn and Rustic Wilderness Distress Oxide Inks. I layered these panels together, along with a black scallop frame, slightly offset, and used foam tape to pop up the crackle background panel.
Next, I die-cut the components for the Cake Pops from colored cardstock and then dressed up a trio of pops using the accessories included in the set. How CUTE is that Frankenstein pop? Then I attached them to the crackle background panel and tucked in a couple of metallic spiderwebs that I die-cut using a die from the Halloween Holder Additionsset.
Thank you for reading about my card featuring a spooky cute crew ofHalloween Cake Popsusing products from the latest Halloween release! See you again soon!
Hey crafty friends! I’m Rebecca Keppel and I love making Halloween cards! The only thing that’s more fun than a Halloween card is a Halloween shaker card! So today I am sharing an edge to edge shaker card made with the Spider Web Panel Die.
The great thing about this panel die is that it has a rectangular A2 sized frame around the edge that gives you just enough room to run thin foam strips behind it. So I simply cut the Spider Web Panel Die out of some speciality black cardstock and adding thin lines of liquid adhesive on the back so that I could adhere it to an A2 piece of acetate.
Once that was dry, I used thin foam strips around the edges making sure that each foam strip touches at the corners.
Next I removed the adhesive backing of the foam strips and poured some Halloween Friends Clay Confetti and Spellbound Shaker Beads in the middle of the foam strip rectangle. Then add a piece of A2 cardstock on top of the foam strips, trapping the shaker beads and confetti inside.
To finish off my card, I added a couple of spiders from the Spider Web Panel Die die cut from pink cardstock. Foam adhesive is a great way to add additional dimension behind the spiders and sentiment. And for a silly look I added some googly eyes to the spiders.
And that’s it! I love edge to edge shakers because you can put a ton of shaker goodies inside and they make such a great noise when the shaker beads slide back and forth!
I hope you’ll give this easy edge to edge shaker a try! Thanks so much for stopping by!
Hi friends! Sophie here today to share a fun Halloween card featuring new items from the August release (plus a few from prior releases!).
For this card I wanted to feature the new Halloween Word Scenes stamp and coordinating die set. I think this set is super unique and versatile. I shamelessly hope that more sets like this come out for other holidays too! I stamped out the “Trick or Treat” image and colored it with Copic markers. I kept the actual letters plain and just colored them with one shade of gray marker. I wanted the little icons of the mood, pumpkin, and candy corn to pop on the image so I made those more bold with colors and shading.
To fill in some space below my greeting I used images from the new Spider Friends stamp and coordinating die set. I think it is fun to really showcase little filler images from sets as it helps get more milage out of your supplies.
For the base of my card I used the previously released Watercolor Rectangle stencil and did an ombre inking of yellow to orange to peach. I really love this stencil, it is one of my most used as it can create a fun abstract background for just about anything! To finish the card off I used some Sparkling Clear Confetti and also stamped the little bats using black ink from the Halloween Greetings stamp set directly on to the panel.
Hello, my batty friends! Justin here and I am super excited to be sharing with you a really fun way to use the brand new Potion Bottle Shaker Die Set from the Pretty Pink Posh August Release!
When I saw these potions bottle shapes, I thought it would be SO much fun to use them as some sort of a love-potion theme, so I took that idea and put a little bit of a bloodsucking spin on it!
For my potion bottles, I took the base of each bottle and die cut it twice from white blending cardstock, so that I had (2) of each potion bottle shape. I took each of the bottle tops and die cut them once from kraft cardstock, and each of the potion bottle labels and die cut them once from a light pink cardstock.
Using the white potion bottle die cuts, I ink blended the top edges of one of each shape with Salvage Patina Distress Oxide Ink to give it a bit of a glass look. Then, using the 2nd set of white potion bottle die cuts, I ink blended them using a combination of Red, Pink, and Red Violet colors to come up with various blends blends for the potion itself. I used the following Distress Oxide Ink colors: Kitsch Flamingo, Picked Raspberry, Festive Berries, Lumberjack Plaid and Seedless Preserves. Once blended, I splattered the panels with water to get some bleach spots.
With a set of scissors, I cut a straight line across the top of the blended potion die cuts so that it looked like the potion itself didn’t fill up the full bottle. I adhered each potion die cut on top of the coordinating full potion bottle die cut with the Salvaged Patina blending.
For the potion bottle tops, I used Vintage Photo Distress Ink to blend the bottom edge of each top, and adhered them into place. Then, taking Worn Lipstick Distress Ink, I blended the left and right edges of the Potion Bottle Label Die Cuts, and adhered them onto their coordinating bottle.
To embellish the bottles further, I grabbed the Halloween Candy Hearts stamp set and stamped out the heart that read “Batty for you” in Rouge Ink by Catherine Pooler Designs. Then, to fill in the heart, I stamped the solid heart stamp using Rose Petals Ink by Catherine Pooler Designs. I grabbed the coordinating dies and cut the heart out, adhering it with foam tape to the center of the smallest bottle.
I then die cut the small bat die cuts included with the Potion Bottle Shaker Die Set from gray cardstock, blended the edges with Black soot Distress Ink, and adhered a few of them onto the 2 larger bottles. I had a couple of the little bat die cuts left over, so I saved them for later.
The background for my card came together nicely. I took a 4.125” x 5.375” panel of light pink cardstock, placed the Crackle Background Stencil over it, and blended up an ombré using Tattered Rose, Saltwater Taffy and Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide Inks. I splattered the panel with Opaque Black Paper Splatter.
Using foam tape and liquid adhesive, I arranged my potion bottles into a trio cluster, and adhered them to my card panel. I added the leftover die cut bats as embellishment towards the top right of my panel, and also used a few clay slices from the Halloween Friends Clay Confetti as well!
Finishing this card off, I adhered it to a white A2-size card base and was fully completed!
I hope this card sparks some spooky inspiration for how you can use the Potion Bottle Shaker Die Set to craft up elixirs for many occasions!
Thanks for stopping by, and happy crafting! – Justin
Hello everyone! Leanne here to share a Halloween shaker card. I absolutely love the new Spider Shaker die. He’s just too cute to spook and makes such an impactful element on an A2 size card. To fill the shaker I used some Spellbound Shaker Beads. The whimsical color combo of this bead mix seemed just right for my spider themed card. The background on this card is a blend of Dusty Concord and Villainous Potion Distress Oxide inks with lots of splattering.
Besides the Spider Shaker, I used some other Pretty Pink Posh die sets to complete this card. For the hat, I used dies from an older set – Halloween Mug Additions. It’s the perfect size for the spider!
The little web and spider dies are included in the Halloween Holder Additions. They made some fun embellishments to fill the spaces around the large spider.
The Halloween Greetings stamp set includes a variety of spook-tacular sentiments. I picked out a couple to add to my card. I white heat embossed them on black card stock so they would really stand out.
I’ll leave you with a few my creative tips to make any Halloween card even more fa-boo-lous! Add google eyes to Halloween critters. I keep a stash of different shapes and sizes on hand for this purpose. Cut a thin strip of card stock to use as a web string for the spider to hang from. Lastly use an action wobbler to attach the spider onto the card. The wobbler action is perfect for a shaker element and makes the card tons more fun for the recipient!
I normally start with my focal point, but this time I decided to create the background first. I couldn’t wait to ink up the adorable Cake Pop Stencil Set! I used a combination of dye inks in shades of orange, green, purple, light blue and black on a panel of white cardstock. Once the ink was dry, the panel was die-cut with a rectangle die and adhered to an A2 panel of light blue cardstock. I almost always create a frame around the background of my cards (unless it’s a scene). I think it finishes if off nicely!
Next, I selected shades of cardstock that matched the ink on my background to created the cake pops with the Halloween Cake Pops Die Set. I used orange, green, lilac, light blue and black cardstock. I added shading to the die-cuts with the same inks that I used on the background to create some dimension, then adhered them together with liquid glue. I die-cut a piece of vellum with the second largest die in the Eyelet Rectangles Die Set. The cake pops were arranged on the vellum panel and the sticks were adhered with liquid glue, while the cake pops were popped up with foam tape. The vellum was adhered to the background, adding liquid glue only behind the die-cuts.
The top layer of the sentiment was cut from green glitter cardstock and the shadow layer from black cardstock using the Happy Halloween Script Die Set. I also die-cut three more layers of the shadow from heavyweight white cardstock, stacked and adhered them all together with liquid glue, then added them to the bottom of the card. I added a trio of purple clay hearts from the Halloween Friends Mix to finish off the card.
That does it for me!! Thanks so much for stopping by today!
Hi friends! Christina here to share a whimsical Halloween card featuring some of the new die sets in the latest spooky season release. I used the newest addition to the growing fringe dies collection, the Fringe Pumpkin, and paired it with the new Happy Halloween Shadow dies, which I also used to create a fun tone-on-tone text background. Grab your die-cutting machine, and let’s get started!
I started by creating the text background on a black cardstock panel trimmed slightly smaller than A2, about 4 x 5 ¼ inches. Then I die-cut multiple sets of the Happy Halloween, the scripty boo, and the small pumpkin from more black cardstock. I glued these randomly across the black cardstock panel, staggering the words and the pumpkin, letting them hang off the edges of the panel and trimming them afterwards. Two tips: you don’t have to fill in the area behind the fringe pumpkin, but you’ll need some scrap cardstock behind it so that it will be flush with the other text, and the text that you trim from the edges can be used to fill in other areas!
I finished the background panel by using gold Perfect Pearls powder mixed with a little water to add some metallic gold spatter and then mounted it to a black A2 cardstock panel with foam tape.
Next, I got to work die-cutting the other elements of my card design. I used ivory and green cardstock for the components of the pumpkin and gold glitter cardstock for the sentiment and the moon and stars. I attached these to the text background and then finished things up by mounting it to an A2 card base.
Thanks for reading about this whimsical Halloween card design featuring new dies from the latest release! See you again soon!
Hi Crafty Friends! Carly here and I am so excited to share my latest card with you because not only is it my favorite type of card but it’s my favorite holiday too…a Halloween shaker!
Pretty Pink Posh always makes the CUTEST Halloween goodies and the latest release does not disappoint!!! The Spider Shaker is just adorable!!! I love the clever design of all of PPP’s shaker die sets because not only can you create a shaker container but you can also use the large negative space for shaker windows!
And not only is this card cute (if I do say so myself,) it is also flat & easy to mail and it uses some “crafty trash” aka plastic packaging!
