Hi everyone! Rebecca Keppel here today with an EASY fun fold and a card with all 4 seasons of the Fruit Tree Dies represented! It’s much easier to understand just how easy this fold is when you see it in action, so be sure to check out the video.
I saw Jennifer McGuire create this super easy fun fold YEARS ago and remembered it when I was trying to figure out how I was going to add all 4 seasons of different trees on one card. Basically you cut two A2 side folding cards and adhere them together. That leaves you with two outer panels and two inner panels that all fold up into one A2 card. And it gives you a place to put four different card panels on one card!
I started by stamping the images from the Autumn Pumpkins stamp set onto Spectrum Noir Ultra Smooth cardstock and colored them with Copic markers. I used the following colors:
After I colored the images, I die cut them with the coordinating dies.
Next, I set the stamped images aside and I worked on my card background. I cut a piece of Bristol Smooth Cardstock to 4 1/8” x 5 3/8”. I inked the cardstock with the following Distress Oxide inks: Salvaged Patina, Scattered Straw, and Dried Marigold. I randomly applied the ink so that I had different colors throughout the stencil. Next, I applied Vintage Photo Distress Oxide ink to the edges of the stenciled background. To finish off the background, I flicked some gold metallic ink and Walnut Stain Distress ink onto the background.
Finally, I glued the pumpkins and the Thankful word die onto the card layer. Next, I finished my card by adding it to a piece of 4 1/4” x 5 1/2” brown cardstock.
Thank you for stopping by today. Have a wonderful day!
First, I created a cool A2-sized background with the Layered Pumpkins Stencils. I adore these stencils; they make card backgrounds so much fun and are super easy to use!
I gave the die cuts some color with a finger dauber and splattered acrylic paint for an extra cool effect. Then, I simply glued them onto the card panel. Finally, I adhered the panel to an A2-sized white card base.
Thank you so much for hanging out with me on the blog today. I hope I’ve inspired you to combine some PPP products for a spooktacular Halloween card.
Hi friends, it’s Carly here. Are you looking for a fun way to give some Halloween treats this year? Maybe some Halloween happy mail? Well I think I have an idea to help and there’s also a video tutorial!
Hello crafty friends! Davina here to share a “not so spooky” Halloween card with everyone. I always love shopping my stash, and combining my existing collection of goodies, with new products, to make something fun. I feel like I’ve done just that with this sweet ghost shaker and a shaker jar full of candies!
I stamped the beautiful jar from the new Fall Jar set using colored ink. Next, I carefully removed the center of the jar by fussy cutting, before using the coordinating die to cut out the complete jar image. I used 1/8 inch scor tape on the backside of the stamped image, to adhere some black mesh tulle. Once in place, I carefully trimmed away the excess mesh and added a second layer of scor tape. I die cut a second jar and arranged some ink blended candies from the Candy Treats die set, and generous amount of little star glitter. I removed the score tape backing and applied the shaker top over the shaker bits and bottom piece. I love making these mesh shakers because they still have movement, but are flatter and easy to mail.
Using some Bristle Smooth card stock, I inked the top half of the panel with Shaded Lilac Distress Oxide Ink, then just the very top with Black Soot. I splattered some black and glittery ink onto the panel before applying Glitter Paste with the Starry Background Stencil. Once dry, I centered the embossed layer onto a striped background panel and arranged my images into the scene using a variety of glues and foam tape.
I really love how spooky cute this turned out using many of my beloved Pretty Pink Posh products, and I hope I have inspired you to dig into your own stamp collection and mix it up! Thank you for stopping by,
To create the cards, I started by stamping the images out from the recently released Halloween Signs stamp set and coloring them with a mix of Copics(C) and Ohuhus. I also added a cute little ghost from the Halloween Envelopes stamp set.
I knew I wanted to create clean and simple cards, but I wanted to add a little extra touch as well so I decided to trim down my card front on both sides and add a little sliver of coordinating background. I created the background using the Layered Argyle Stencils and distress oxides in Bundled Sage, Antique Linen, and Black Soot.
The card front that I trimmed down was adhered directly onto the stenciled background and the images were adhered on top using foam tape for dimension.
Hello crafty friends! It’s Channin here and I’m so so excited to be here at Pretty Pink Posh for Halloween week!! I LOVE Halloween and I had an absolute blast creating this fun pumpkin card and I can’t wait to share it with you!
To create this card I first die cut the three pumpkins out of orange cardstock with theStitched Pumpkin Dies. I then ink-blended over the pumpkins with Spiced Marmalade and Crackling Campfire Distress Ink. I used a shader brush to add definition to the pumpkin ribs. I then die cut the pumpkins with the face dies and set the pumpkins aside.
Next, I die cut the pumpkins a second time but this time out of light yellow cardstock. I then ink-blended the pumpkins in Mustard Seed and Wild Honey Distress Ink and then adhered the orange pumpkins over the yellow with foam adhesive.
Next, I die cut the stems for the pumpkins out of Kraft cardstock. I then ink-blended the stems in Vintage Photo and Ground Espresso Distress Ink and added additional details with copics. I then adhered the stems to the pumpkins with liquid adhesive.
Next, I die cut the leaves out of green cardstock and then ink-blended them in Rustic Wilderness and Forest Moss Distress Ink. Once again I used a shader brush to add definition to the leaves. I then die cut the vines out of dark green cardstock and ink-blended them with a little Forest Moss.
Next, I ink-blended the front of an A2 top-folding Kraft card base with Vintage Photo Distress Ink. I then pressed some of the Vintage Photo ink onto a sheet of acetate, added water and then splattered the water-downed ink over the corners of the card front. When the card base was dry I then adhered the pumpkin, leaves and vines to the card front.
Next, I stamped a sentiment from the Boo to You stamp set in Versamark ink onto black cardstock. I then poured white embossing powder over the sentiment, heat set it and then die cut it out with the matching die. Lastly, I finished the card by adhering the sentiment to the card front with foam adhesive.
I hope you enjoyed my card. Thank you so much for stopping by! ~Channin
Hi crafty friends! Marine here, kicking off Halloween Week with this monochromatic mix & match featuring a bunch of images from different sets. Monochromatic cards are super fun and easy to make, so I hope that my spooky little scene will inspire you to create your own, and it doesn’t have to be black & white, of course, purple shades or green shades would look amazing on a Halloween card!
I started off by stamping my images on Transotype perfect coloring paper using an alcohol marker friendly black ink, I cut them all using the matching dies, and colored everything using my Spectrum Noir Illustrator markers and Graph’it brush markers.
And each time I make a monochromatic card, my thinking process is the same: I picture the images in my head with colors, and where I would have used a light color (e.g. yellow or aqua) I’m using light shades of grey, where I would have used a medium color (e.g. pink or green) I’m using medium shades of grey, and where I would have used a dark color (e.g. black or purple) I’m using dark shades of grey. It’s that simple ^^
Next I cut a 5,5 x 4,25 inches Strathmore bristol smooth panel, and created a spooky night sky. I first masked a circle in the middle of my piece of paper, and colored the rest of the panel using hickory smoke and black soot distress inks. I mixed some black soot distress ink with water and used a small brush to add splatters on the paper, and I did the same with white ink. I removed the circle mask, let the paper dry, masked the whole panel but the circle, and then added a little bit of hickory smoke distress ink all along the rounded edges of that circle.
To add more spookiness to my night sky, I used the Spooky Sky stencils. I first added some clouds using black soot distress and a very light hand, I didn’t want them to be bold black. And I added a few bats using black soot distress ink again, but this time I used a heavier hand because I wanted those bats to really pop against my night cloudy sky.
I heat embossed my “Boo To You” greeting from Ghost Friends in the middle of the moon using clear embossing ink and silver embossing powder, I attached all my images using foam squares, and as always I finished my card by adding highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen.
And that’s it! I hope that my card will inspire you to give the monochromatic coloring a try! Thank you so much for stopping by, have a great day.
