Sharing Halloween cards today!


My Team swap theme was fall or Halloween cards. So just in time for tomorrow’s spooky day here are some of my Team’s creations:

First is Karen’s card:

She featured the Oh My Fright bundle and the Frightfully Times DSP here. That DSP tag is a die-cut included in the bundle. It’s a fun fold; here’s the view when opened:

The tag is adhered to just the front panel. Love the spiderweb and greeting that shows from the front AND the inside.

Next is Ginny’s card; she used the same products but is totally different!

Isn’t this a neat way to add the die-cut critters? Those 3/4″ strips of DSP placed at angles is fun! She’s a cat lover so this is totally her!

Next is Joan’s card who created a fun fold layout. It looks pretty normal from the front…

But here’s how the inside opens:

She added a scored and folded mechanism that pops up the inside panel when opened. I cannot give measurements for this but maybe I’ll demo it on a video soon.

Here DSP is called Spooktacular 6 X 6″ DSP but it has sold out. The stamps and dies are from the Oh My Fright bundle seen here.

Lastly is Jody’s card that features this same bundle and the Frightfully Fun DSP.

She used the new Advent Labels punch for her greeting. See that punch here.

Thanks for stopping in today. I hope you enjoy your Halloween tomorrow!

I’ll share more Team swaps next week. Stay tuned!

  • Ombre Blending with Decorative Masks; an easy technique!


    If you struggle to get a smooth blend I have a few suggestions for you.  We made this striking card at a class this weekend.  Everyone loved it and they all turned out fabulous!

    Details:

    • The colors here are Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie and Cherry Cobbler; with a bit of gold glitz thrown in.
    • The leaves are die-cut from the Intricate Leaves dies seen here. 
    • The greeting is from the Thinking, Thanks & Peace stamp set in the Holiday catalog. I love this greeting!  See it here.

    Here are some tips & suggestions for perfect Ombre' blending:

    • Use out Blending Brushes; they really do make a smooth blend easier.
    • Choose colors that are similar in hue. For instance blues and greens, or yellows to reds.  
    • Blend over a Decorative Mask – see them all here.  The patterned stencils/masks seem to break up any inconsistencies in your blending. 
    • Here I added color onto Crumb Cake card stock; that also helps and would be a a good color to practice on. 
    • I start out with the lightest color and work my way downward; in this case at an angle.  
    • I leave a tiny space between colors and make sure to blend/connect them by going into the previous color just a bit before moving.

  • Neat Fun Fold – Diagonal ‘Faux’ Pocket card!


    I made this unique fun-fold card on Monday night's FB Live.  It was Stamp with Me night; the 2nd & 4th Monday's of each month here on my FB page.  You can see all of my videos here on my YouTube channel. 

    Isn't it pretty?!  This paper is called Blackberry Beauty and it's filled with Gold accents on each sheet.  You can see it here.  It's also featured in my August card kit to go here and PDF tutorial here.  

    The greetings are from the Sunny Sentiments stamp set in the Annual catalog; one of my favorites for greetings.  See it here. The printed die-cuts are from the Blackberry Beauty Ephemera pack seen here. 

    The card below is the same fold; but made with the gorgeous Expressions in Ink Specialty Designer Paper.  These colors are Pale Papaya, Polished Pink, White and gold accents.

    Below are the measurements for you.  I highly recommend you watch the video below; it will make it much easier to make. 

    And here is the video; I hope you watch it.  You will love making these unique cards!
