Graveyard Gnome – Witch!

Sep28

Today I’m sharing a Hallowe’en card using KLM Digital Design – Graveyard Gnome – Witch from the new September 2023 release. This image also comes with 2 more sentiments, “You totally rock, Ghoulfriend!” and “If the broom fits…”.

Hammermill – Premium Colour 100 lb. cardstock was used to create a 4.25″ x 5.5″ card base. Craft Consortium – Ink Drops Vivid Craft Papers was cut to the same size as the base. With my Cuttlebug and PhotoPlay – Say It With Stamps – #6 Haunted House Coverplate Die, I die cut the haunted house out of Recollections – Black cardstock and then cut along the bottom of the fence. I traced the fence bottom onto another piece of Recollections – Black cardstock and fussy cut it. The 2 pieces were then glued together. With some scraps of yellow cardstock, I cut out a few pieces and glued them to the back of the house. The entire house and base were attached to the  Vivid Paper background with glue.  Now that the pieces were assembled, I adhered the finished background directly to the base using double-sided tape. Lastly, the top edges were inked with Tim Holtz Distress Ink – Black Soot and a finger dauber. The moon was also cut out using the same die cut set from Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card.

The image was imported into Microsoft Word and printed out onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card cardstock and the sentiment onto Recollections – Purple Passions cardstock. The image and the moon were coloured in with Copic markers. I fussy cut the image and then used a black marker to go around all of the edges. With U-Line Double-Sided Foam tape, the image and moon were attached to the front of the card. The sentiment piece was cut to the size of 4″ x 5.25″ and it was adhered to the inside of the card using double-sided tape. Lastly, to finish the card off, I added in 3 little bats onto the front of the card and 2 shoes on the inside using Stampendous – class a’peel stickers – Cats & Bats Black.

Fido’s Hallowe’en

Oct14

Sharing a Hallowe’en slim line card I made today using KLM Digital Design – Fido – Hallowe’en Freebie from the new October 2022 release.  Fido is all set for Trick or Treating with his little “Bee” outfit. Do you dress up your pets for Hallowe’en too?

To make my card this week, I started with a 7″ x 7″ card base using Hammermill – Premium Colour 100 lb. cardstock. I scored this at 3.5″, so that the final card base measured 3.5″ x 7″. To create my background, I die cut the haunted house and path using an Anna Griffin Empress Mini cutting Machine, Recollections – Black cardstock and Say It With Stamps – #6 Haunted House Coverplate Die. The little bats were cut from the same die set at the same time. For the yellow behind the windows I cut a solid piece using Momenta – Cardstock. I glued this into place on the back of the die cut using liquid glue. I love how the Momenta paper had the colour variations of yellow. Using the die cut as a reference as to where to place the background colours, I applied a mixture of Tim Holtz Distress Oxide inks for the sky listed below and Tim Holtz Distress Inks for the path with Gina K. Designs blending brushes. Once the background was coloured in, I applied glue to the back of the die cut and adhered it to the card. Using the same cutting machine again, I die cut the sentiments 3 times using scrap pieces of orange and black cardstock which I had run through my Xyron Create a Sticker first so that it would be easier to attach them on top of each other later. I pieced them all together and attached them to the card. The 3 bats were then placed around the sentiment.

The image was imported into Microsoft Word and printed out onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card. The images were coloured in and then Wink of Stella – Clear was applied to the wings to make them sparkly.  Both images were fussy cut and U-Line double-sided tape was applied to both and they were popped up onto the card to finish it off.
