Magic of Christmas

 I'm playing along with Color Hues Color Challenge #76, the colors are red and metallic gold, but you can also use neutrals.

I made a Christmas card using dies and stamps from Spellbinders, 

I used the Shapeabilities Layered Poinsettia Etched Die Set (it's on sale for $10.99 off!) and die cut red cardstock. A couple of layers were sponged with red ink to get some color variation. 

The leaves were die cut from gold foil cardstock.

To make the background, a white cardstock panel was embossed using the Autumn Serenade 3D Embossing Folder and it was glued to a top folding red card.

The Sentiment was made using the Snowflake Wishes Clear Stamp & Die Set ( sale $6.75 off ), "believe" was die cut from gold foil cardstock and black cardstock. The gold was layered on top of the black, slightly askew.

Have a crafty day!

Boo-Frickity-Hoo

I'm up on the Rubbernecker Blog today with my Boo-Fickity-Hoo Halloween card.  The Pumpkin Man has a matching die available that also gives you the moon.  I always pick up a matching die for a stamp, it makes cutting it out so quick and easy.  Just click on the names in bold print and it will take you to the product.

Here's how my card was made;

1.  Stamp Pumpkin Man on white cardstock with Onyx Black VersaFine Ink and emboss with clear embossing powder.
2.  Using the matching Pumpkin Man Die, cut out.
3.  Color the mouths, eyes and moon with yellow and orange Zig Clean Color Real Brush Marks.
4.  Sponge the edges with Faded Jeans Distress Ink.
5.  Make a watercolor background by rubbing Squeezed Lemonade, Mustard Seed, Ripe Persimmon and Abandoned Coral Distress Inks on your craft mat, spritz with water and lay a watercolor paper panel on top.  Remove and let dry.
6.  Die Cut a panel from the watercolor piece using the Nested Rectangle Stitch Die Set and die cut the same size from black and white striped decorative paper.  Die cut one size larger from black paper.
7.  Glue the watercolor piece to the larger black frame with Zip Dry Glue, then onto the decorative paper piece as shown. Then glue on stamped images.
8.  Repeatedly stamp Boo-Frickity-Hoo on an orange pane with Abandoned Coral ink and glue to a black card.
9.  Glue stamped layers onto the card.  Set aside.
10.  Stamp sentiment on a strip of black cardstock with VersaMark Ink and emboss with white embossing powder.  Glue to card as shown.

Halloween Treat Jar

Today kicks off Stampendous' 31 Days of Halloween and I'm sharing a treat jar made using the Halloween Labels Cling Stamps and Die Set.

The witch was stamped on computer paper with Onyx Black VersaFine Ink and embossed with Clear Embossing Powder.  It was then sponged with purple and green inks.  After it was diecut, it was adhered to the jar using a tape runner from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L.
The sentiments were stamped and embossed on orange and purple papers, cut into a tag shape and tied to the jar.  The jar is filled with brown and orange peanut M&M's.

Today as a Guest Designer for Whimsy Stamps, I have a Halloween card using the Franken Schmutz Clear Stamps Set, Franken Schmutz Die Set and the Distressed Backgrounds and Ink Splats Clear Stamps Set.  I really love these sets, just look at the funny sayings that come with the Franken Schmutz  set, and I have to admit the look on his face is how I feel in the mornings haha.

Frank is stamped with Onyx Black VersaFine Ink and embossed with clear on Strathmore Bristol Smooth paper and colored with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers.  

He's then diecut using the coordinating dies and layered onto a cream colored oval that has been stamped with the chicken wire from the Distress Backgrounds and Ink Splats Clear Stamps.

The sentiments were stamped with VersaMark Ink and embossed with white embossing powder.  Take a look at the word "green" it's been colored with a green alcohol marker, isn't that cool?!!  All of the pieces are layered onto decorative papers and some ribbon and sequins are added.

Terror-ific Sugar Skull

Today's card uses the Sugar Skull Stamp Set which includes the dies from Stampendous.

The images are stamped with Onyx Black VersaFine Ink on Strathmore Bristol Smooth paper, colored with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers and then die cut.  The Terror-ific banner was stamped on purple paper.  A black panel was randomly stamped with the rose using VeraMark Ink, then purple mica powder was brushed over the VersaMark.  A rag was used to wipe off the excess mica powder, this was then glued to an orange panel.  A banner die was used to cut orange and white striped decorative paper and a smaller banner cut from black card stock. The pieces were glued on using Nuvo Glue.  Crystal Micro Fine Glitter was added to the teeth using Quickie Glue.  Unfortunately, I couldn't get it to show up in the picture but it really looks great!

31 Days of Halloween, Day 27

Here's my last card for 31 Days of Halloween that Stampendous is playing along with.  To make the card Chilling was stamped on white cardstock with Onyx Black ink and embossed with clear.  Shaded Lilac, Wilted Violet, Dusty Concord and Hickory Smoke were sponged onto the image after masking fluid dried on the eyes and lips.

After the image was sponged the masking fluid was removed to reveal the bright white paper.  This was then glued to an orange panel that had been sponged with Hickory Smoke ink.  It was then glued to a black card that was stamped with Industrial in Silvery Shimmer ink.

Happy Halloween was stamped on acetate with black StazOn ink and cut out.  I had to think for a while on how to attach it to the card since glue would show through the acetate.  A large orange rhinestone was placed on the acetate and a dot of glue was placed under it then placed on the card, it worked perfectly.

Hickory Smoke ink was rubbed on white May Arts Ribbon, tied in a knot and glued to the card.  Black and orange rhinestones were then placed on the ribbon.

31 Days Of Halloween

I love this Mirror Mirror stamp from Stampendous, you just stamp once and you're done!  So easy right?  I made the background using blue and purple inks on glossy paper and then sprayed it with purple.  Once dry Mirror Mirror was stamped with black ink.

Spoonful of Midnight Embossing Powder and Elements was added around the edges  and heated from underneath so it wouldn't blow off.   Then a die cut 31 was added to the bottom corner along with several plastic spiders.

After the panel was layered onto black paper and mounted to a purple card, May Arts decorative self adhesive ribbon (I love that this is self adhesive!!) was add to the left side.

31 Days Of Halloween

Don't have the right decorative paper for your card background?  It's okay, you don't need it, make your own!!  Here is how my card was made.

1.   To make the back ground lay the LX7001 Damask stencil on white paper, spray with black metallic spray. Before removing the stencil, lay another white cardstock panel on top of the stencil to soak up the spray on top, this is the panel I used.
Last year I used the same stencil on my card for 31 Days of Halloween and it looks completely different, you can see it HERE.
2.  Once the panel is dry, sponge with violet ink and stamp Danse Macabre on decorated panel with Tuxedo Black Memento ink. Color in the skeleton with a white Uniball pigment pen.
3.  Stamp words from the Tricky Words Perfectly Clear Set on white paper with black ink.  Tear the edges and sponge with purple ink.

Fright Night

All month the Stampendous Design Team is playing along with "31 Days Of Halloween."  Each day at least one Designer will be sharing a Halloween card, but don't expect anything cute and sweet!  You will want to go to the Stampendous Blog (link at the bottom) for links to other Designers playing along today.

1. Stamp Twisted Tree on acetate with Jet Black StazOn ink and let dry.
2.  Turn acetate over and apply Glossy Accents to the tree and sprinkle with Purple Micro Glitter.  Let completely dry, then brush off the excess glitter with a Swiffer cloth.  I tried a micro fiber cloth but it didn't remove all of the glitter, too much static electricity. Repeat using Orange Micro Glitter on the cats and owl.  This is really sparkly in person!
3.  Spritz a lime green panel with black metallic spray and sponge the edges with Onyx Black Versafine ink. On the back side of the acetate, apply small amounts of Glossy Accents to the dried glitter sections and glue to a black card with an orange strip on the left side.
4.  Stamp words from the Life Words Perfectly Clear Set with Onyx Black Versafine on white cardstock, cut out and sponge edges with violet ink.  Glue to card on top of pieces of black May Arts ribbon.
