Ready for some fabulous ‘Cute Halloween’ projects?! Check out the video tutorial


Look at this adorable Halloween card I made on last week's FB Live.  Follow me on Facebook here so you don't miss my weekly videos!  There's on tonight at 7:30 pm CT and every Tuesday at 11 am CT. 

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. 

Measurements:

  • White 4 ¼” X 11” scored at 5 ½”, cut 1 ¾” from the right
  • Black 5 ½” X 8 ½” scored at 4 ¼”,
  • White & Fresh Freesia 3 ¾” X 4 ¾”, Black ½” X 4” strip for greeting
  • Cute Halloween DSP ½” strips

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.

  • Casing my friend with Caring Leaves & video


    Last week I was out of town to see my son get married in the beautiful Grand Tetons National Park in Wyoming.  

    The photographer was incredible; I have to share some of her early shots with you.  It was a quick trip but we were blessed to be there for the small ceremony. We had a wonderful time driving through the stunning park with the photographer scouting out photo opportunities.  We're thrilled to add Katrina to our family!

    Today I'm sharing the swap card I made for our Team card swap this month:

    My colors include Pretty Peacock, Pumpkin Pie, Basic Beige & Very Vanilla.  Peacock is one of my favorite 'outside the box' colors for autumn projects. 

    Two of my favorite types of stamps are 2-step and Distinktive and this set is both!  It's a sweet & simple set & it's just $17. See it here. 

    When I was planning my card for the swap I came across the card on the left below.  It's one my friend Susie Wood made awhile ago. I loved the layout and cased it using the Caring Leaves set. 

    Casing a favorite card or layout is my go to when designing a new project. It's fun to switch up colors and products while using the same design. 

    I created a video that's posted below.  I stamped the outline leaves on the large Pretty Peacock layer before embossing it with the Forever Plaid 3D embossing folder. I also stamped an extra leaf to fussy cut and add under the tag.  See the measurements below.

    Measurements:

    • Basic Beige 4 1/4" X 11" score at 5 1/2"
    • Pretty Peacock 2 3/4" X 5 1/2", 2 3/4" X 4 
    • Pumpkin Pie 2 1/2" X 3 3/4", 4 1/4" X 1" strip
    • Very Vanilla 2 1/4" X 3 1/2" plus tag die-cut

    Below is the video I shared along with card swaps from my Team.

  • Playful Ghosts card swaps; check them out!


    Here are a few more Halloween card swaps, most featuring the Playful Ghosts stamp set. 

    Joan made this cute card with bright fall colors.

    Her colors include Granny Apple Green, Pumpkin Pie, Crushed Curry and Cherry Cobbler. She added tons of leaves from the Changing Leaves dies. The embossing folder is the Leaf Fall 3D seen here. 

    Check out the Playful Ghosts stamp set here.  It's filled with cute & playful images. 

    She offered a 2nd option of a fall themed card for us at the shoebox swap.

    The greeting is from the Autumn Expressions stamp set.  I love how she created two themes using the same colors & layout!  

    Lastly today is Rita's cute card also featuring the Playful Ghosts set. 

    She stamped the images in Black and colored in with Blends markers. The circle die-cut is from the Spotlight on Nature dies seen here. 

    I'll share more fall themed card swaps next week.  Have a great weekend!

  • Check out these CUTE Potions & Spells Halloween card swaps


    Last weekend we held our monthly Flowerbug's Team swap – our theme was Fall or Halloween cards. 

    Today's first card is made by Ginny who chose the Potions & Spells bundle. 

    Such an adorable card!  She cased it from Julie Gilson.  I love the colors of Granny Apple Green, Black, gray, Peach Pie with bits of purple & yellow.  

    Check out this cute bundle here. 

    The White background is stamped with a few small images, then ink is added lightly with a Blending Brush before it's textured.  The cat, broom and stack of books are adorable! 

    Next is a fun card made by Robin who used this same bundle. She also added a ghost from the Playful Ghosts stamp set. 

    She's a master at sponging her backgrounds. I sure love her color scheme of purple, green & black.  

    Next is Candy's striking card also using the Potions & Spells bundle. 

    She used the bubbles image to make her own background. The oozing slime and bubble die-cuts are the Old Olive glimmer paper.  I love the White Deckled Circle die-cut behind the cauldron. It looks like a moon. 

    Here's the inside of her cute book-binding card:

    More swaps coming tomorrow!
