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!  

Halloween 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.

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 Fun Projects & Video with the Circle Celebration stamp set

    I tried not to order the Circle Celebration stamp set but it kept calling out 'Order me!'  So I caved….and am so glad I did!  The images seem like they're almost 'retro' style which I love.  I do enjoy creating my own stamped background and these are perfect for that.

    Today I'm focusing on the cards on the right.  I made them with the Bokeh technique.  It's so fun and almost 3D in appearance.  

    Circle Celebration Bokeh 1 Save

    You start out with a sponged background. I used our new Blending Brushes that are awesome! They are currently out of stocks but should be back at the end of March.

    Randomly sponge ink colors onto our Basic White CS.  Choose colors that somewhat coordinate if possible.  this can be difficult for some who struggle with color combos. I choose colors that when mixed do not make mud.  How do I know which colors don't mix?  Trial and error of course!  Here I used Night of Navy, Bermuda Bay and Gorgeous Grape.  Aren't these colors gorgeous together?!!!

    *Another combo I might pick are yellows, oranges & reds.  Or greens & blues!

    Once you're done you add sponged circles using White Craft ink.  I made my own stencils by punching circles out of card stock.  I share tips on using and re-inking our White Craft ink in the video below.

    The greeting is from the Best Year stamp set in the Annual Catalog and the butterflies AND white dotted die-cut 'holes' are from the new Brilliant Wings bundle seen here.

    Here is the video; I hope you watch it to see how to make these fun projects!

  • Hot Dog; what an amazing fun fold card!

    Have you been enjoying the window cards I've shared this week?  I have more coming tomorrow!   My Flowerbug's Team amaze me each and every month.  They really put effort into creating incredible projects like this fun & amazing card Annette made with the Hot Dot stamp set!  

    March Annette Hot Dog Save

    I was blown away by it! She based her colors off of the Playful Pets designer paper seen here. *this will likely retire in a week!

    It took a lot of time and effort into lining up the Stitched Nested Label dies so the Real Red window lined up with the inside layers.  She told me that she adhered the designer paper to the front of the card before die-cutting the window.  She did by placing the die between the layers cutting side up; in the middle of the card itself. That takes some patience in lining it all up!

  • Two Unique Window cards with Dragonfly Dreams & Soar Confidently stamp sets.

    I'm featuring our Team Swaps this week and the theme was 'window cards'.  I was so impressed with each and every one of them!  

    First up is Deloris's card with the Dragonfly Garden stamp set seen here.

    The little dragonfly is from the Dragonfly Punch which is in the Dragonfly Garden bundle seen here. 

    March Deloris Dragonfly Garden Save

    She used two of the Stitched Label dies and the Subtle embossing folder.  Her colors are Pear Pizzazz and Rich Razzleberry.  I believe she colored the flowers in with Blends markers.  Beautiful job! 

    *The greeting and die-cut are retired and not currently available.

    Next is a gorgeous card made by Ginny.  She used the Oval dies and the Soar Confidently stamp set seen here.  

    March Deloris Dragonfly Garden Save

    Her colors are Crumb Cake with Soft Suede & Vanilla. That great texture is from the Tasteful Textile folder in the annual catalog. Adding a bit of color to the balloon really makes it stand out!  Take a look at the inside!
