Wow! Halloween Scenic cards with Life is Beautiful stamp set with video!


I am pretty pleased of these two cards I shared on Facebook Live yesterday.  I've been wanting to make some spooky Halloween cards with my Life is Beautiful stamp set and think they turned out amazing, IF I do say so myself!  

This first one features a bright, white moon with a halo of purple around it.  I used a 2" circle punched 'mask' and sponged the Rich Razzleberry and Pacific Point background.  You can get my easy sponging tips in the video below. 

Here I created a window scene with the Stitched Rectangle and Plaid Builder dies.  I share my quick method of creating this window in the video below. 

I LOVE creating scenes with sponged backgrounds and the Life is Beautiful stamp set is perfect for it!  I used the following inks on the card above: Pacific Point, Rich Razzleberry, Black, Craft White and Pretty Peacock. 

Do you like the White clouds?  I used the same image on the ground as I did on the clouds.  Love the versatility of this stamp! The pumpkins and greeting are from the Banner Year stamp set. 

The colors above are Smoky Slate, Black and Pumpkin Pie.  I used a bit of Magic in This Night DSP, the Cobweb embossing folder and Plaid Builder, Stitched Rectangles and Ornate Frames dies.  The little birds are from the Mountain View stamp set. 

I hope you enjoy watching the video below!

  • 3 neat cards with the All Squared Away bundle; FB Live replay


    Here are the cards I made on last Tuesday's FB Live featuring the All Squared Away bundle.  Fresh Freesia is the color of the day!

    I stamped the solid images in the set in three colors; Fresh Freesia, Pool Party & Pear Pizzazz.  Then I trimmed them so they'd fit behind the die-cut floral squares. I added rolled up mini glue dots for just a bit of a lift and added them to the White layer. Sometimes you want a lift that's not very thick; rolled up glue dots do the trick! That next texture is the Bark 3D folder I used seen here.  

    The greeting is from Biggest Wish stamp set – stamped on Fresh Freesia CS and fussy cut.  Those pretty gems are the fabulous, iridescent In Color jewels.

    This next card is a unique color combination gatefold card made with the same bundle: 

    Products used:

    • Delightful Tag Topper punch on the 2" X 3 1/2" White CS.
    • It's textured with the new Star Crossed embossing folder and added to a Basic Gray scalloped rectangle die-cut from the Scalloped Contours dies seen here 
    • In Color 6 X 6" DSP, Fresh Freesia Open Weave ribbon seen here 
    • White embossing powder on the greeting
    • In Color jewels seen here 

    Measurements:

    • 5 ½” X 8 ½” Basic Gray; score at 2 1/8” from each side
    • 2 pieces Fresh Freesia In Color DSP at 2” X 5 ¼”
    • White tag is 2” X 3 ½”
    • Basic Gray greeting strip is 5/8” X 3 ¾”

  • Pretty Pumpkin bundle in Gold!


    Marilyn made this card for my display last week using the Pretty Pumpkins bundle seen here. She used the Gold & Rose Gold Metallic specialty paper here on her layer and die-cuts.  She got the idea from a card made by Christi Redding. It's gorgeous!  

    I had a hard time getting a great photo of this card.  The gold metallic paper is so much prettier than this photo shows! 

    She fussy cut her greeting and added some gold cording underneath. The texture on the Vanilla layer is from the Tasteful Textile folder.
