You'll Join Us Someday Halloween Card for Twiddler's Nook Spooktacular!

Today is the trifecta! It's Halloween (the best holiday), last day of the month (Halloween inspiration) and it's the big finish of the Twiddler's Nook Spooktacular! So of course I'll be highlighting using Twiddler's Nooks products in my video (brushes, magnetic tray) and I used the Happy Jacks Clay Embellishments. These embellishments were just begging to be used with my Rock Facts stamp set from Popsiclesticks.

If you're like, what the heck is going on in this card? You have to watch my YouTube video as I'll give you some insights to this older, cartoon mini-series that Davina from Popsiclesticks told me about and Abi and I became instantly obsessed. I used the stamp set for my images and sentiment, embellishments from Twiddler's Nook, scenery dies from Lawn Fawn and Kindred Stamps, and the swirly frame is from The Sassy Club.

Let me know your favorite quote from this show and don't forget to hop along with us over on Instagram!

Not Dead Yet Fandom Card with The Sassy Club

My Sassy Sundays are becoming Sassy mid-weeks... But here is my Sassy fandom project for the week! I used it for Craft Roulette (as has been the norm for the past few weeks) and actually kept things kinda simple to let my colored characters be the highlight of the card. I started with stamping all of my images and colored them in with Olo Markers. I also stamped my sentiment in the speech bubble and fussy cut all of them out.

My background is made of diagonal striped pattern paper and two layers of the Slime Die from The Sassy Club. I did spray my red cardstock with glimmer spray to give it some subtle shine so I don't make it too glittery. But still has glitter, because I love shine! I added some Black Soot Distress Ink to the pattern paper and splatter before layering everything together.

My images are then added with foam adhesive and I stamped a secondary sentiment to one of the openings in my background because I really liked the sentient with these characters. I love my little short king doggo in the corner the most on this card, but let me know what you think of this card! I leaned into the red pasta color for the Craft Roulette parameters, but let me know if you think I hit the four parameters with my card.

Spooky Wishes Halloween Card with Pretty Pink Posh

Can you believe tomorrow is Halloween? I'm getting a couple more posts for October that are Halloween themed (even though you know that I do a monthly Halloween card). I'm sharing a project I made for a Pretty Pink Posh release - I just love the vertical sentiment on this card! When creating, I really wanted to make a night scene with the Layered Birch Trees Stencils. I stenciled the (A) layer with Picket Fence Distress Ink and then sprayed the whole panel with Iridescent Glitter Dust. When it was dry, I used the (B) stencil with Grrr! Lunar Paste to add in the tree details. I sent it aside to dry and once it was, I trimmed the panel to 4x5.25”. 

Next I stamped and colored in my images from the Batty About You Stamp Set with alcohol markers and used the Coordinating Dies to cut out the images. I also die cut the third Stitched Torn Rectangle from purple cardstock and stamped my Spooky Wishes sentiment from Upright Greetings: Halloween Stamp Set with black ink. I adhered the moon image to the purple rectangle and popped up the bat and branch with foam adhesive. I adhered the stenciled panel to an A2 card base and popped up the purple rectangle with the images to the center of the card with foam adhesive. I hope you have a fun and safe Halloween tomorrow!

Background Ideas with the Spellbinders October 2024 Clubs

I finally got some projects made with my Spellbinders October 2024 Clubs. I'm embarrassed it took me this long to get some cards made, but like I talked about in my previous video... Life has been CRAZY busy. I had a major accomplishment today at work, so I finally feel like I'm cresting the difficult mountain I've been on and things will start falling more into a rhythm soon.

But anyway, back to my video! I'm sharing how I used a few of the October 2024 Spellbinders Clubs to create 5 different backgrounds. I use the 3D Embossing Folder, Stencils, BetterPress and Glimmer Hot Foil but brought in all of the Clubs in some way over all of the five, final cards. You can see in my video down below how I created beach of my backgrounds.

For the pink bunny slippers card: I added a foiled sentiment (from BetterPress), die cut slippers and legs (from Large Die) and added texture to the pajamas (with Embossing Folder). My Christmas lights card: I colored in the foiled lights with alcohol makers and added a foiled sentiment (from BetterPress) as well as a Wax Seal. The polar bear card: I used the large foiled sentiment (from Glimmer) with my adorable bear (Die).

My pink critters card: I stamped my images and cut them out with the coordinating die (Clear Stamp + Die) after I colored them in with alcohol markers. My Christas tree card: this background worked well with adding in the amazing die cut images (Stitching) with the stitched details and my foiled sentiment (from BetterPress). I hope you like my backgrounds and get some ideas for those Club Kits! See you earlier in November for the next set up Clubs.

Nativity Play Slimline Card with Kindred Stamps

Happy Fandom Friday (night)! I wanted to show how I colored in these adorable characters from the new Kindred Stamps Nativity Plan set so the bulk of today's video is coloring. I also walk you through how I created a quick and easy Stage scene on a slimline card. It's been so long since I've made a slimline card, I even forgot the dimensions! But I think it turned out super cute, even if my angel takes up too much space and hides some of the characters.

Make sure to head over to my Instagram to see more cards I made with this new stamp set! I do show them real quick in my video, but you can see lots of photos of three other cards that I made for the release. In case you want to know what I used in those cards, I have a supply list you can find here. Let me know what you like from the new release in the comments!

Holiday Greetings Doily Tree with Papertrey Ink

The Doily Trees from Papertrey Ink are so dang cute! I used the March 2020 SheetLoad of Cards Sketch as inspiration for the layout and followed the card sketch using the Holiday 6x8 paper pad from Scrapbook.com. I also die cut the base part of my tree from the same paper pack. I stamped my images from the Doily Trees set with different Distress Ink colors.

Before adding my patterned paper, I distressed the edges with Tea Dye and used the same color to add some distress to the doily cutout. The stamped images and sentiment have coordinating dies so I cut those out as well, then assembled my tree together. Once I added everything to my card base, I added some Pops of Color in Dusty Rose and Gold Glitter for some extra shine.

I think this set might be one of my favorites from the latest release that was gifted to me from Papertrey Ink! I think the doily trees are just the cutest.

Mice Day Box Card with The Sassy Club

Okay, I know it's Wednesday afternoon and I'm jutting my Sassy Sunday card up... It's been a heck of a few days trying to get back into the swing of things from traveling last week for work. I just cannot seem to catch up! I'm hoping over the next few days and next week, I'll get back to my usual posting schedule but for now, I'm just trying to hold on!

The card I'm sharing today is my card for last Friday's episode of Craft Roulette. I made the box card from pink cardstock and blue gingham paper from my stash. I added my sentiment on a banner to the front of the box card because I didn't want to cover up too much of the pretty gingham paper on the front of the box.

My adorable Sassy images are from Sew Mice (or So Mice) and I stamped and colored them in with alcohol markers. I used my Scan N Cut to cut them out and did a little bit more cutting in between areas like, the mice tails or ribbon around the dress. For the parameter of jewelry, I added some pearls around the card - I should have colored them to be teal-ish like the mice find in the movie!

Looking forward to sharing more with you the rest of the month! Let me know which Sassy Club product you'd like to see for a future Sassy Sunday post in the comments.
