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

September 16, 2020

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!

Save

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.

Save

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.

Save

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.

Save

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!

Get inspired by a sketch with this sweet Splash of Sparkles card

March 18, 2026
Each month I give my Flowerbug’s a creative challenge and they can participate if they’d like. This month it was a sketch:

Save

You can find card sketches like this all over Pinterest or other online sites. I think they’re a wonderful and easy way to create a card. Remember that sketches are a starting point; they don’t have to be exact or even that similar. They’re a great way to be inspired.

I chose the Splash of Sparkles specialty designer paper for mine. See it here.

Save

My colors include Bubble Bath, Timid Tiger, Gold & White; all inspired by the beautiful designer paper. Who would have thought to combine these colors together? But the DSP is the magic that makes it work.

I used a few different products here:
- The greeting and die-cut are from the Lovely Arrangements bundle.
- notice the new daisy embossing folder? That is the new Lazy Daisy 3D embossing folder found here. It is currently out of stock, but add your email on the product page to be informed when it’s back.
- And that pretty Bubble Bath 1/8″ ribbon is wonderful and easy to work with. See it here.
- The gold foil layer is the Textured Metallic paper seen here.

Here’s a link to my sketches board on Pinterest. I hope you find some to be inspired by!
