Halloween Bash

HalloweenHAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE!

This is my second post of the day so make sure you scroll down and see my other card too!  This is a card I demoed at a workshop in September (hi Becky!)  And I thought I’d save it for today!

Before I give the details for making this card, I am not going to show how to do the ‘rays’.  Instead…here is where I learned how to do them and she did a GREAT tutorial!

  • Pumpkin Pie:  5 1/2 x 8 1/2 folded
  • Basic Black:  4 7/8 x 3 5/8
  • Very Vanilla:  4 3/4 x 3 1/2, layer on Basic Black
  • Make the ‘ray’s from Witch’s Brew dsp using the sizes and directions given above.  Add to Very Vanilla piece.
  • Wrap Basic Black Chevron Ribbon around panel and add to card front using dimensionals
  • Very Vanilla:  1 7/8 x 2 5/8.  Stamp using Basic Black, Pumpkin Pie and Summer Starfruit maker.  Layer onto Basic Black 2 x 2 3/4.  Layer onto Summer Starfruit, 2 1/4 x 3.  Add to card front using dimensionals.
  • Make bats using Basic Black cardstock Elegant Butterfly with 3/4″ Circle Punch and Bitty Butterfly with 1/2″ Circle Punch.  Add to card front and add Basic Rhinestones to finish it off.

Halloween Bash

CCMCFALL13-01Happy Saturday everyone!!!  Guess what?  We have just finished up our first week of Create with Connie and Mary Fall Collections 2013 AND it’s time for our Saturday Challenge!  We have a fun color challenge and since Halloween was our theme for the week, I used Halloween for this challenge!

The base of the card is Summer Starfruit.  I took a print from Witches Brew, layered it on Basic Black and then to the card base.  I took the striped print, cut two banners and added to the card front.  I inked the stamp using Basic Black, Pumpkin Pie and Summer Starfruit markers, stamped on Very Vanilla, layered on Basic Black.  Then I punched out a Basic Black Artisan Punch, cut in half and added to the top and bottom to give it a different look.  I added this to the card front using dimensionals.  Finally I added some Candy Dots.  I inked just the bat from the ‘beware’ take, stamped on Very Vanilla, cut out and added to the card front to finish it off!

Today we have a FABULOUS preview project (with a full downloadable tutorial) from the extremely talented Deb Currier!  In honor of her card set I decided to make a fun Halloween card for you….and since there are a couple little ‘extras’ in this card…I made a video (click here) for you to see how I made this!  The video shows a couple techniques in the beginning then goes on to show how I made the entire card and gives all the supplies and dimensions at the.

HalloweenI used the Circle Card Thinlits for this.  The base is Basic Black and I used prints from the Witches Brew dsp for the front and back panels.  I love the Champagne Glimmer paper on this…just gives it that little bit ‘extra’!  Aren’t the bats cute?  I saw on Pintrest how to make these (and yes, I show these in the video too.

Label Framelits Video

DSC00323I recently posted this fun card using the NEW Label Thinlits from Stampin’ Up!  I figured out a fun and easy way to add the DSP to the back panel (and yes….you can just change the size and use it for the top panel!) and I thought it would be fun to make a video to show this technique.

On the video the technique is shown on the first couple of minutes but then if you continue on…you will see how I made the whole card.  At the very end I give a supply list will all the sizes of everything you need…easy to get everything you need right there.

For more videos by me…just click on the video category!

So enjoy the video!  Until next time…HAPPY STAMPIN’!

Halloween Bash

DSC00323I know what you are thinking…Mary…it’s a little early for Halloween!  Yes…it is sort of early by I’m having some demos over tomorrow and I wanted them to make a card using the NEW LABEL FRAMELITS and well..this is what I came up with!  And since you can now order the framelits AND you can now order from the Holiday mini…what can I say…it’s a PERFECT card!  LOL!!!

I had a BLAST making this and I hope my friends do too!  I think this will also be part of my ‘cards that move’ class that I will be advertising to my customers soon!

DSC00325The base of the card is Basic Black.  One thing you might want to do with this is adhere your piece of dsp before running through the framelit…that way the one little hole is cut out too!  (AND I now have video showing how I do this…CLICK HERE to see it!)  I punched out a 1 3/4″ Summer Starfruit circle and added it (sort of a harvest moon look).  I added a strip of the Witches Brew dsp to the side with a thin piece of Basic Black over it.  I trimmed 1/4″ off the the ‘top’ flap, ran a piece of the striped dsp through the Adorning Accents Edgelit added behind that front panel then added a thin strip of the Summer Starfruit dsp.  For the front, I cut out the label framelit (that comes with the set) and added to the swinging panel.  next I stamped the bat image in Basic Black on Very Vanilla, punched with the large oval punch, layered on a Pumpkin Pie Scallop Oval piece and added to the panel.  I CAREFULLY uses my Basic Black marker to ink the word BEWARE, stamped on Summer Starfruit then used the fun curved label framelit that comes with the set to cut it out.  I added it to the punched piece using dimensional and glue dots.  I put a plain Very Vanilla Label on the back of the swinging panel.  You could write something on it or stamp Happy Halloween!  I added a couple of rhinestones to finish it off.

How fun is THAT!!!  I’m having a BLAST with this new framelit set and can’t wait to get my circle one too!

Oh and speaking of Halloween and Fall…hold onto your hats!  The Early Bird Special for Create with Connie and Mary Fall Collection featuring Halloween and Fall card, favors and decor items is NOW ONE!!!  Check out Create with Connie and Mary NOW!!!
