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!

Easiest Shaker card you’ll ever make!

January 26, 2021
Giving an interactive card makes the card extra special like shakers, spinners or fun folds. But they can be time consuming or a lot of work.

Save

I used the free 'A Touch of Ink' stamp set from the Sale-a-Bration catalog. You can see it here. That background was made with our Blending Brushes and Bermuda Bay & Calypso Coral ink.

Save

This type of shaker card is truly easy; really! Besides the stamped element you need three basic things:
1. A clear envelope
2. Strong adhesive
3. Sequins, beads or tiny punched pieces
Insert your stamped card stock into the clear envelope, fold the excess envelope over to the back and seal with adhesive leaving one end open. Add your fun filler and seal closed.

Save

The pretty sequins in this card are the Woven Threads sequins in the annual catalog on page 157.

I made a video in December on making one of these shaker cards. Even though it's a Christmas card it's the same technique. Here it is:

See that neat stitching on the inside of the card? That's my new favorite 'Stitched with Whimsy' dies; seen here.

Main card 4 1/4" X 7 1/2" scored at 5 1/2" *save the extra piece for the front layer ( 3 1/2" X 2 3/4"

White 4" X 5 1/4", 3 1/4" X 2 1/2"
