BOO! - Witch on broomstick Halloween scene 7"x5" card Hi Craft addicts! I have had fun making this Halloween card using some Peel-off stickers on a background that I coloured myself. How I made this card:- I had coloured the background some time ago using various distress and dye inks from Tim Holtz and Altenew to make it look like a landscape at night - I had masked off the moon using a circle of card and then added some Black ink to take the edge of it. I used various Halloween peel off stickers (from Craft Creations) and added them to the background to make a scene. Once I was happy with it, I then added it on to a slightly larger white layer and then again attached that on to a bigger one - I also highlighted the edge of the middle one and added a border to the larger of the 2 and coloured it in using a bluey-green alcohol marker. I finally added it on to a 7" x 5" white landscape tentfold card. Finally, I added the words BOO just near to the w...

Happy Halloween Haunted House 7x5in card  Hi Craft addicts! So today's card is another Halloween card - this time using the really cute Haunted House stamp from Hunkydory's For the Love of Stamps Halloween collection. How I made this card:- I took a tree silhouette stamp and added it to either side of a 7" x 5" white card and then added the cute Pumpkin stamp in the middle of them. I stamped the Haunted House stamp on some white super smooth card - Hunkydory, Creative Crafting World or Craftwork Cards or Tattered Lace all do this. I then coloured it in using Zig Clean Color Pens including their fluorescent yellow one for the lighting! I coloured the background on a pre-cut deckle edged topper (from Craft Creations) using Tim Holtz Distress Inks and Altenew inks (Greens, blues and black) masking off the right top hand corner with a piece of card to add the moon. I then added a border to it using a Black fineliner pen and then coloured it in using a ...

Boo! Halloween card with witches hat and sentiment designed in Brother Scan n Cut... Hi Craft addicts! So today's Halloween themed card is one that I have made using some designs I created and cut out using my Brother Scan n Cut... How I made the card... I first of all went into CANVAS (the web app that Brother scan n Cut operates) and designed both the Boo. and Witches Hat toppers - (if you want to know how I did it just get in touch - I am also working out how to create these as files so I can add them to my website! Once I was happy with them, I cut them out in both Black (Lynda Chapman's from Creative Crafting World) and Orange (from American Crafts) - I had made the hat slightly smaller so I knew that there would be a small border) and glued them both together. I then cut out the black rectangle using the largest of the Tattered Lace pin dot dies and the gold one (I think it is a Spellbinders die) in Mirri card. I stuck them both together and g...

Hubble Bubble ... cauldron, cat and spider's web window card Hi Craft addicts! I thought I would try and write a post every other day with the theme of Halloween. I think I find it more fun to do than Gunpowder Plot (Guy Fawkes) as I really don't like the idea of the burning of his effigy.. anyway I digress which I think I am well used to. Today's card is one that put on Instagram yesterday, and it is an arched C5 window aperture one which I have used to add the topper inside it. How I made this card:- I used a pre-cut deckle edged white hammered piece of card (approx 120x70mm) and first of all added a thin border around it using a Black fineliner pen. I then added the Halloween themed peel off stickers to make a scene. Masking the border off, I then coloured the background in using various shades of blue distress inks (Tim Holtz - Broken China, Salty Ocean and Peacock Feathers), not worrying too much if I went over the peel offs as I then used ...

Vampires, Pumpkins and bats....  Hi Craft addicts! Well it is a long time since I last wrote a post about the cards I make and so I thought it about time I did one! I had great fun making this one as it was not too difficult and I was able to use various stamps and Distress Inks (I really want to get some Tim Holtz Distress Oxides inks as they look great!). I had had this pink 6" window triple aperture card for ages and it was beginning to fade a bit so I decided to cut the 3rd flap off and make it a normal card. I first of all used the apertures to draw boxes on the inside of the card and then added a border around the front of the card. I then coloured the inside of this border using Tim Holtz "Picked Raspberry" and "Festive Berries" distress inks. " I then used the "Halloween" stamps from Hunkydory's "For the Love of STamps" series and added the Bat, Monster, Dracula and Pumpkin to each of the boxes ins...
