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!

  • Neat fun fold card 3 ways! With free tutorial & video


    We made this special card at my January card clubs. They could choose between 3 colors and themes too!

    I featured the Addressed to You stamp set for all three cards. See the cute ovals & rectangle with the ‘filled in’ images on the right? Those are all part of this unique stamp set! See it here.

    I used the retiring Textured Notes dies seen here. They’re the stitched edge rectangle dies used twice on this card. They are on the last chance list right now and reduced in price too!

    This card opens with a type of flip/flap feel. Here’s how we cut off the tabs on the card base. Once you score your card you’ll make a pencil mark from the top and bottom at 1″. Then trim off the corners.

    My colors include Pool Party, White and either Pretty in Pink, Fresh Freesia or Peach Pie.

    I created a free project sheet for this card with measurements, supplies and step by step directions. Click here to print or download it.

    More details:

    • I used the images that finished the lined oval & rectangle to decorate the inside ‘left’ edge on the cards.
    • We used Blends markers to color in the small images.
    • The DSP is the Beach Boardwalk designer paper for the left edge.
    • The greetings are from the stamp set called ‘The Right Words’ seen here. It’s one of my favorite greeting sets.

    I was in the middle of the video tutorial for this card but the video failed right before I started the project. And I made my last packet. So I do not have a video for it. But hopefully the project sheet above helps you out.

  • A new fun fold card with the Nature Walk suite; wow!


    Karen’s swap card blows me away! I haven’t seen a card fold like this one before and I just love her color choices too.

    Isn’t it beautiful?! Can you tell that the front, main layers are ‘caught’ on the diagonal textured layer on the lower left? That’s what is keeping the flap tucked in.
    This is how it opens:

    Her colors include Cloud Cover, Secret Sea, Old Olive & Basic White. I’ll share measurements below.
    Did you catch the pretty textured layer? That’s the new Stone & Vine 3D embossing folder. And did you notice the ‘wood look’ die-cut in Olive near the greeting? That and the greeting are included the Nature’s Symphony bundle seen here.

    She used the Nature Walk suite for her card which includes gorgeous nature focused products. See it all here.

    Here’s how she finished the inside of her card:

    Measurements as follows:

    -card base 7″ X 5 1/2″ scored at 4 1/4″
    -White 7″ X 5″ scored at 3 3/4″. Make a mark on the shorter end at 1″ from the top and the bottom. Trim off the rectangle to the score line for the front flap
    -Secret Sea front is 3″ square, side is 2 1/2″ X 5 1/4″, the diagonal piece is 2 1/2″ X 2 3/4″ cut in half and inside is 4″ X 5 1/4″
    -DSP front is 2 3/4″ square, side is 2 1/4″ X 5″

    Thank you for creating and sharing this amazing card with us Karen!

  • 2 pretty Nature Walk card swaps


    Today I’m sharing two pretty swap cards made by my talented Team.

    Ginny made this first card with the Nature Walk designer paper and the Nature’s Symphony bundle.

    This card sure makes the DSP shine!

    Joan made this card with the Nature Walk designer paper, the Addressed to You and Prayers & Promises stamp sets.

    She fussy cut the main oval image which is from the Addressed to You set seen here. The greeting is from the wonderful Prayers & Promises set seen here.

    Thanks for the pretty cards gals!
