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.

  • Last of the amazing swaps by my Flowerbug’s Team; Black & White with a ‘pop’ of color!


    Today's post features the rest of the Team swaps.  Our theme was Black & White with a 'POP' of color.  I love this theme so much; adding a bit of Black on a card provides a wonderful contrast to other colors and attracts the eye. 

    The first card was made by Candace; she used the Kite Delight stamp set along with Highland Heather, Granny Apple Green & So Saffron.  See the set here. 

    She stamped her background and then stamped and fussy cut the kits separately to pop them up on the card.  Her greeting is heat embossed with White embossing powder on the Black CS strip.  Beautiful! 

    Tammi made the next one featuring the happy color combo of Magenta Madness & a bit of Granny Apple Green.  

    The stamped images are from Hello Ladybug; after stamping on the die-cut scalloped circle she used the Tasteful Textile embossing folder.

    The Black & White patterned paper is from the Pattern Party DSP – a host paper you can get FREE with host benefits.  Once your order goes over the $150 mark you can choose free product!  This amazing pack of paper has 40 12 X 12" sheets and is just $18. See it here. 

    Marilyn made this pretty card using Daffodil Delight.  

    She die-cut the flower 'window' from the White 'Stitched So Sweetly' die-cut (largest one in the set) to reveal the dotted designer paper underneath.  This die is from the Meadow dies seen here.  The polka dot DSP is also Pattern Party host paper.

    She colored the white seam binding ribbon yellow with a Daffodil Blends marker. Her greeting is from the Sharing Sunshine stamp set. 

    The greeting is on a 'Stitched So Sweetly' die-cut too.  These dies are retiring!  I'm so sad; they are one of my favorite 'go to' dies for labels and layers.  See them here. 

    Next is a fun fold card made by Jacki using a striking pop of Red for this wedding card. 

    The greeting is from the Celebrating You stamp set in the Jan-June mini catalog; see it here.  Again her DSP is the host Pattern Party; can you tell we love this pack!!?  The hearts are both punches in the Annual Catalog.  They are returning in the new annual catalog.  

    Her measurements are:

    • Black card base 5 1/2" X 11", scored at 1 1/4", 3 3/8", 7 5/8" & 9 3/4"
    • DSP front dots – 2 pieces at 1" X 5 1/4", front hatch design – 2 pieces at 1 3/4" X 5 1/4"
    • White layers under dots – 2 pieces 1 1/8" X 5 3/8", under hatch design – 2 pieces at 1 7/8" X 5 3/8", White inside 4" X 5 1/4"
    • Black belly band 1" X 9 1/2" 

    Next is a Tracey's card featuring the pretty In Color of Polished Pink. 

    She used the Artistic dies for the beautiful Black die-cut. She stamped images from the Artistically Inked stamp set under the die-cuts for a neat watercolor look.  The stamp & dies will be returning in the new catalog but they will not be in a bundle at 10% off then.  

    Her White layer is textured with the Gingham embossing folder from the Jan-June mini catalog; see it here.

  • Matchbook Cards on tonight’s FB Live! An easy fun fold showing off your DSP


    We made these neat fun fold 'matchbook' cards on Facebook Live last week.  They're so neat and really show off your DSP.  

    Does it remind you of the old fashioned books of matches?  See how it tucks in to the bottom flap?  

    I am featuring the Flowering Tulips stamp set & Flowering Fields designer series paper here.  It's so pretty and spring-like.  

    The Live video is at 7:30 pm CT here on my Facebook page. If you aren't following me yet, be sure to do that so you don't miss the 6 videos I do each month.

    Here's a photo of them laying flat.  My colors include Pool Party, Poppy Parade, Old Olive on the left card.  The card on the right is Fresh Freesia, Rich Razzleberry & Shaded Spruce.  

    The dies for the greetings are the Layering Circles, Tasteful Labels and Beautiful Shapes dies.  

    Measurements:

    • Card base 4 1/4" X 6 1/2" scored at 5 1/2"
