Product used:

•  the ghosts, pumpkin and striped trim are from the Cute Halloween designer paper in the Holiday catalog.  See it here. 
• I punched one of the ghosts and the pumpkin with the Halloween punch. It's in a bundle with the Cutest Halloween set seen here or on page 51, which is where the greeting is from. *Sadly the Halloween punch is now on back-order until November!
• the wreath & bats are die-cut with the Seasonal Swirl dies seen here & Black Glimmer paper in the annual catalog; seen here
• the ombre background is actually Fresh Freesia CS, with Misty Moonlight & Night of Navy added with our Blending Brushes *watch the video below
• Cute Stars Adhesive-backed sequins are also added to the wreath

Check out the ghostly treat box in the photo above.  It's so simple to make with the Pretty Pillow box dies!

The stitched tag is also in the Pretty Pillow Box dies.  Look how it latches – the scalloped front slips in behind the tag in front.  I love that I don't need a special way to keep it closed; the tag does it for me!

Check out the other version I made with the fun skeletons on the right?  I fussy cut them from the Cute Halloween paper.

I haven't shared this for awhile so here it is; my favorite cutting template especially for inside a card.  Get 5 pieces from one 8 1/2" X 11" sheet of card stock. If you're making multiples this can save you a lot!

Below is the video.  I make another project using Sparkle of the Season before this one. Fast forward to about 22 minutes in to see this neat Halloween card.

  I shared this card on last week's FB Live video.  It's also part of my October kit to go and PDF tutorial as well.  It's unique and truly shows off our double sided designer paper!

  Can you see how it opens? The left panel opens up to reveal another flap that also opens. This Cherry Cobbler layer is scored to allow a gift card to be inserted in the pocket.  If you don't need one, just adhere it down or trim it off.

  October 18, 2024

  When I saw this new kit called Alpine Air I just knew it would be beautiful!

  They're stunning and great for any occasion.  The other thing I like about these is they work for guys too which can be uncommon.  And they're so easy to assemble. It includes everything you need – a greetings stamp set, Misty Moonlight ink spot, adhesives, gems, card layers, envelopes and a clear block. 

  All of the kits in our Kit Collection (28 of them!) are discounted!  Click here to see all 28 kits. 

  This kit was $22 and is now $19.80 and you can see it here.

• Sunshiny Happiest Day card with measurements plus more ideas in the video

  October 17, 2024

  ---

  I had a blast creating with the Happiest Day stamp set. I shared two more cards in my previous blog posts. 

  Today's project is what I'm calling a 'Sunshiny' card. 

  Save

  I chose my color scheme from the Full of Life designer paper I used on the background – Petunia Pop, Balmy blue & Summer Sun.  Of course I added Black for the contrast I like.  

  I thought the Postage Dies were a great way to layer the elements here.  Below is the inside view of this card:

  Save

  I added a zig-zag of the Iridescent Striped ribbon under the greeting for the 'glitter' effect. 

  See this adorable Happiest Day stamp set here.

  Here are the measurements; but you can see the other two cards I made on the video here. 

  Measurements:

  • Card base 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" score/fold at 4 1/4"
  • White postage die-cuts 1 1/2" X 2 3/8", large is 3 1/4" X 4 1/2"
  • Black 1 5/8" X 2 1/2", large is 3 3/8" X 4 5/8"
  • DSP – 4" X 5 1/4"
