Halloween Cards

Yes, I know, Halloween is over but I'd still like to share the cards that I made for my and my friends grandchildren this year. 

For this first card I used Gina K. Designs Haunts and Harvest stamp set for the trio of ghost and the sentiment and used the coordinating die set to die cut the ghosts. Gina's inks were used with her Fizzy stencil to create the orange and purple background and I then cut it out with the Master Layouts 1 Die Cut set along with a piece of black cardstock. I layered those two onto a tent fold 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" base. 

To add a demential element, I glued googly eyes to the ghosts with Gina K Connect Glue.

 

Did you really think that I could stop there? Of course not! I had to add an Action Wobble behind the three ghosts to make them even more interactive! My grandson loved it!

For the next two cards I used my beloved die set from Lawn Fawn - the Magic Picture Changer die set. I still love using this set and I can always find so many different ways to incorporate other stamp sets with it. Gina K's stamps from Haunts and Harvest were used again along with the fence die from Tim Holtz and the grass border die from Lawn Fawn.

The Magic Picture Changer is an interactive set so once you pull up the tabs at the top you get this:

The last card is created using a technique similar to partial die cutting. I created a side opening, landscape card base and after scoring and folding it I cut about 1/3 off of the top front. I then cut out the ghosts again from Haunts and Harvest in white cardstock then used the die to cut the bottom portion of the die from the front of the card base. I layered pieces of patterned paper to the front and inside. The sentiment is heated embossed in white.

I hope that you enjoyed seeing these late but cute Halloween cards! I'll be posting more of my cards and other crafty projects soon and more often. Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Lawn Fawn Picture Changer Die Set!

It’s been awhile since I’ve posted something but I’m going to try and post more often here. I’ve been crafting more and I’d like to share some of those projects that I’ve made with you.

Right before I went to the Scrapbook Expo back in February, a friend told me about a new (at the time) die from Lawn Fawn called Magic Picture Changer. It didn’t sound like something I was interested in but by the time I got to the Expo I HAD to have it! After I bought it (and a few other die sets to go with it from shopping online, I finally made my first Picture Changing Card - but it’s definitely not my last! This die is so much fun to use and the longer I have it the more ways that I’m thinking of using it. So here’s the first one. I used Lawn Fawn's Picture Changer Die Set and the Add-On Die Set, the Rain or Shine Before N After Stamp Set and colored my images with my Spectrum Noir Alcohol markers.

Then I made this 2nd Picture Changer Card that I like so much better!
I used the Lawn Fawn Butterfly Kisses stamp set, Simple Wavy Banners die set, Magic Picture Changer die set, and the Add-On set. I stamped and also colored the images with my Spectrum Noir alcohol markers.

Isn’t this the coolest thing ever? And it will be so much fun for the person receiving this card because it’s interactive! You’ll need to create two different ‘scenes’ so the picture will ‘change’. 

 It was fun ‘telling a short story’ with these supplies. There will be many more of these in my future!

Thanks for visiting and taking a look. I hope you are inspired!  

Until next time, happy crafting!
