Life is Beautiful Halloween card; masking & bats galore!


Fall is in the air around here in North Dakota.  Each week it's getting cooler, the leaves are changing and it's getting dark so early! That means Halloween is coming soon!

I was creating squares for a Halloween framed sampler for a Team swap (see this post) and had an extra one. So I decided to create a card with it.   

To make the square I first stamped the tree image from Life is Beautiful onto a 2 3/4" piece of White CS using Smoky Slate ink.  Then I used a 1 1/2" mask over the center and sponged on Pretty Peacock ink.  Next I placed the window/mask over the sponged area and added Cajun Craze ink in the 'hole' to create the moon.   It's layered onto a 2 7/8" piece of Whisper White CS.

Other details:

  • The bats are fussy cut from the Magic in This Night Designer paper.  I did sponge the edges with Black ink. 
  • The greeting is from the Banner Year stamp set and is on a Tasteful Labels die-cut. 
  • The main card is Cajun Craze and the designer paper strip is 2" X 5 1/2" 

I can't wait for you to see the amazing Halloween samplers tomorrow!

  • Masterfully Made suite samples; it’s extremely unique!


    The Masterfully Made suite is so different and unique; you'll be surprised at these projects shared by Stampin' Up!

    This colorful paper including the flowers is all the designer paper; there is nothing raised or popped up here except the tags.  The die-cuts in the background are from the bundle seen here. 

      

    This next card shows off the Masterfully Made designer paper wonderfully.  It looks like it's many strips of torn paper.  

    It's not!  Look at this gorgeous designer paper below.  See the sheet, second from the upper right?  That's what they used!  
    They did stamp on it with one of the images in the bundle; heat embossing in White.  

    This gorgeous designer paper is discounted in June; instead of $12.50 it's $10.62.  See it here

    This last card shows off the stamps, designer paper and the neat notebook edge die-cut.  

    What do you think?  Is this suite your style?

  • Fabulous Gone Fishing bundle swap cards


    Father's Day is coming up Sunday and the Gone Fishing bundle is perfect for the occasion.  

    I received two swap cards on the cruise and thought you'd like to see them.  First is my friend Susie Wood's card.  Her style is similar to mine and we often share cards with each other. My husband and I spent time with her and her husband Deke on the cruise; not enough but we both treasure our friendship so much! Check out her fabulous blog here.  She is super creative and a master at fun folds. 

    Her colors are Night of Navy with Vanilla and Boho Blue. The tag is made with our Very Best Trio punch seen here. 

    Next is a card I received from Janet Holmes. The curvy border die-cut shows off wonderfully here.  

    Check out the Gone Fishing bundle here.  

    I'll have lots more to share with this bundle soon!

  • Marvelous Nature Ombre technique with video tutorial


    Today I'm sharing the other card I made during Tuesday's video.  Both featured the new set called Marvelous Nature.  


    I used an ombre technique where I inked the solid stamped image with three inks consecutively.  The top is Pool Party, the middle is Lost Lagoon and the bottom is Pretty Peacock.  


    You can see this pretty Marvelous Nature stamp set here. 

    The greeting is from the set but I did use the Stylish Shapes dies for it and popped it up on Dimensionals. 

    The card base is Lost Lagoon with two strips of Pretty Peacock under the main image.  As you can see by the photo below the left card is lighter than the right one.  In the video I went over the upper part of the image one more time using the Stamparatus; mostly so I could get a more solid, complete image.
