EEK!

Hi everyone.  It's Laurie back with another Halloween ghost card.

I stamped the ghost in Versafine ink and heat embossed it so that I could color it with Copic's. I have had the designer paper in my Halloween stash of paper forever, so it was fun to put it to use on this card. It came from a Tim Coffey Halloween pack of paper put out by K&Company. 

I used a few stitched dies to cut the ghost out and the fishtail banner. Layered it onto a black background and adhered everything onto a purple card base. 

Stayed tuned for next Thursday as I have another creation made with this stamp set.

Birthday wishes

Hello. Playing in the Freshly Made Sketch #600 challenge today. 

The butterfly die is from Memory Box and the sentiment stamp is from My Favorite Things.  The background is done using my 5 x 7 gelli plate and a stencil from Shawn Petite, plus some bubble wrap, metallic paint, etc. There are a lot of layers on those sheets. 

I cut the solid portion of the butterfly out of metallic gold cardstock from Tim Holtz to match the paint used on the background I created. I had a lot of fun creating so many sheets of gelli prints but it's time to use them up.

Thanks for stopping by.

Group photo

Hello, it's Laurie again and welcome back to another card for the new Halloween Ghost stamp set that will be released soon. I call this one, Group Photo.

I did a lot of masking for this one. I used intense black ink from Honey Bee stamps to stamp them all out, which is a Copic friendly ink. Then spent some time coloring them all out. I did add some goofy/scary bloodshot marks to the ghost holding the sign with a red gel pen. All of the eyes are highlighted with glossy accents. So in real life they a super shiny, but it never shows well in photos. 

I will be back next soon with another card to showcase this fun new set.

Thanks!

No stamping card

Hello everyone. It’s time for a new sketch challenge over at Try Stamping On Tuesdays.

So, this card uses a few rub on's from 49th and Market. I added them onto a piece of fabric (muslin) and shredded a few of the edges to give it a raw edge.  I cut out a few leaves out of white cardstock, colored them with Copic's and used that for the scalloped edge. 

 

Here is the sketch for you to use as inspiration, and please Link up here> Try Stamping On Tuesdays.

Thinking of you

Hello. Playing in The Paper Players clean and simple challenge of don't bug me today.

I'm CASEing the fabulous Chrissie Stokes, and how she added gilding flakes to the dragonfly with this one.

The sentiment is from Recollections. Dragonfly die is from Gummianpan and its wings are colored with Indigo blu luscious pigment powder in out of the blu. I did add silver gilding flakes onto the wings and the body, based on Chrissie's video tutorial. 

I used fun foam on the back of the rectangle to pop this up off the card base. 

Thanks for stopping by.

Hello

Hi everyone, it's time for a new challenge over at Less Is More.

This is one color I don't use a lot of unless it's for Halloween. The flower stamp is from Altenew and I used Melon, cantaloupe, aspen and sage pawsitively saturated ink from Simon Says Stamp on it.  The hello sentiment is from Honey Bee.

I decided to leave the slightly off-center stamping alone and just go with the flow on this one. 

Here is the cue card.

Boo

Hello - I am thrilled to be asked to design a few cards for Gerda Steiner Designs. I'm delighted to introduce you to a new die that will be available over at Gerda Steiner Designs soon.  I did something a little bit different with it and inlaid it after embossing the card front with several of the die cuts.  The designer paper is from Die Cuts With a View.

Here it is up close - I cut out a few and used them to emboss the card front. 

The set does come with a shadow die, but I did not use it since I inlaid the die cut after embossing it. 

I hope you are inspired to get this super cute stamp set and design a few cards for your friends and family. They also can be used on treat bags or Halloween decor. 

Stayed tuned for more Halloween goodness later this month with a new stamp set to be released soon.

Time to get it in gear

Hello. Playing in the Freshly Made Sketch challenge today.

The gear stamps are from Hot off the press and the sentiment is from Technique Tuesday. I did heat emboss them using black embossing powder.

The perimeter of the card panel is distressed using Vintage photo distress ink. The outline stitch dot die is from Jillian Vance Designs.  I stuck a panel of fun foam on the back so that it could stand out on the black card base.

This will be used as a masculine birthday card in my stash.
