Greetings friends. What do I mean about a fusion holiday card? Well, I combined elements from the Yuletide collection with elements from the brand new Fall Cornucopia collection to create my holiday card. I absolutely love to challenge myself and mix an match my stamp supplies to repurpose them in different ways. Therefore, I decided to used the a holly wreath stencil and some poinsettia dies as a backdrop to my Halloween wreath.

I started with some of the brand new Lavender Bloom cardstock from Memory Box and placed my holly wreath stencil on top. I then sponged Wilted Violet and Black Soot Distress Oxide inks on top to form my wreath:

I used black ink to make the leaves look spiky instead of like holly leaves.

Next, I added some cut out poinsettia leaves in purple to add a bit more dimension to the wreath:

It was then time for some embellishments. I added some spooky black spiders and white ghosts. I cut out the ghosts using white cardstock and glued strips of black cardstock behind the eye openings to "color" them:

To finish the card, I added my sentiment in black VersaFine ink and added some black and purple jewels from the Memory Box Autumn Fairy jewel pack. Here is a close up:

Thanks for stopping by today. I hope you were inspired to use items usually meant for one holiday and use them for another. There are so many possibilities!

The new Cauldron Witch can be artfully colored and shaded...or simply cut for a spooky silhouette design.  Add a bit of plaid, an ink-blended scrap of cardstock, glitter, pearlescent cardstock and Bright Jewels - all in a mix of black, orange, violet and purple.  Hi, Jean here with a simple Halloween design from the 2024 Fall Cornucopia Collection.

I used a scrap of white cardstock covered with violet, orange and dark pink ink - cut with the 2" wide Nested Globes die.  Smudge the edges with Electric Purple Radiant Neon ink.  Sounds scary, but it's a great color!

Cut the witch and cauldron from Glossy Black Paper (cardstock).  Cut the hatband, bubbles and boiling brew from the violet Rainbow Reflections 6x6.  Cut the hat from the black Glitzy Glitter Pad 6x6.  

Stamp the greeting - from the new Magical Halloween Clear Stamp and Die Set - on the new Lavender Bloom solid-core 100-lb cardstock with Nocturne VersaFine Clair.  Quickly heat-emboss it with detail clear powder.  Let it cool, then cut it with the coordinating die.  Cut the greeting shape again from black cardstock and layer it - slightly offset - for dimension.

Cut the violet/purple/gold Fuchsia Plaid 6x6 with the 2-½" wide Nested Globes die.  Cut the new Orange Peel cardstock with the 3" wide Nested Globes die. 

Attach the diecuts to a light kraft A2 card - use foam dots for the greeting.  Add violet Bright Jewels to three of the bubbles.  Cut an A2-sized piece of cardstock to protect the card front for mailing.

Highlight a spooky black silhouette with glitter, shimmer, glossy cardstock and sparkly jewels in a mix of bright colors.  Halloween says it's OK to over-bling and experiment with a mix of colors.

Thanks for visiting...see you again on Thursday!

Hello and welcome!  It's Angie here today with a magical potion Halloween card using the new Potion Bottles die set 94847.

Here's another look:

Memory Box's latest release has brand new 8.5 by 11" colorful thick and wonderful card stocks along with dies and stamps!

I used lots of the new colors to cut my bottles from.

Here's what I used:  

Key Lime, Cilantro, Deep Turquoise, Pool Party, Lavendar Bloom, Orange Peel, Summer Squash, along with a dark purple from previously released SP1008 Twilight Purple pack

Once I cut them all out, I put them together and colored the left sides with darker shades of alcohol markers and added gel pen highlights.  Next I cut the Vintage Tray die from the 3D embossing folder/die combo EF1040 from the Key Lime and added it to a piece of white woodgrain paper.

Next I stamped the sentiment from the Magical Halloween stamp et CL5284 and after cutting it out, I framed it with another piece of Key Lime paper that I inked with green inks.  I also added white gel pen to it.

Then I added all the potion bottles in each window, some glued to woodgrain paper, some popped up on thin pop dots and some popped up on regular height pop dots.  Lastly I added the sentiment with pop dots and jewels from the Autumn Fairy Jewels JWL004  in the corners of the sentiment frame.

Here's one last look:

I hope you like my festive Halloween potion card for today.  Be sure to check out all the new goodies from the 2024 Cornucopia Release!  Thanks for stopping by!

There's a new collection from Memory Box--2024 Fall Cornucopia.  I've put together a Halloween card that uses the POTION BOTTLES 94847, the cauldron from CAULDRON WITCH 94849, and the sentiment "Have A Magical Halloween" from the MAGICAL HALLOWEEN CL5284 clear stamps set.

I started with a white side fold note card and added a piece of a dark plaid paper from YULETIDE PLAID PP1031 cut 5 1/4 X 4.

I cut a large circle from BLACK GLOSSY PAPER SH44004 and added that to the top of the note card.

I die cut the cauldron from CAULDRON WITCH 94849 and the POTION BOTTLES 94847 using watercolor paper.  I colored the pieces with a variety of inks using fingertip daubers.

I stamped "Have A Magical Halloween" on a scrap of white card stock using VersaFine Clair Nocturne (black) ink.  This is one of the sentiments  from the MAGICAL HALLOWEEN CL5284  clear stamps set.

Add the die cuts to the black glossy paper circle--I placed the cauldron in the upper left and the bottles in the lower right.  I used dimensional foam dots for the cauldron and the round bottle as well as the sentiment panel.

You can see the whole 2024 FAll CORNUCOPIA collection here...Halloween-themed dies and clear stamps as well as packages of fifteen new colors of 8 1/2 X 11 card stock sheets!  

Happy Crafting!

Create Ghummies - happy little ghostly mummies -  with the new Haunting Ghosts die and a sheet from the Yuletide Cheer 6x6's.  Hi, Jean back again with another Halloween design featuring our 2024 Fall Cornucopia Collection.

We're using a wavy gold-foiled sheet from the Yuletide Cheer 6x6 set.  Here's an easy way to select a great section of the print for the ghosts.  Cut Haunting Ghosts from a contrasting cardstock scrap to create a template for the die.  Chose a section for your ghosts, then place the die in the template and cut the patterned paper exactly where you want it.

Cut scraps of black cardstock and attach them behind the eyes.  Cut another set of ghosts from black cardstock to add a contrasting black offset edge to the ghosts.  

Cut detailed top layer of Carving Pumpkin from the new Orange Peel 8.5x11" cardstock.  Cut the solid background from the black 6x6 in the Majestic Hues Glitter Pad.  Cut the stem/leaf/tendril pieces from the new Leaf Sprout sheet.  Color the stem with an orange marker - layering orange over Leaf Sprout creates a realistic woody-brown.  (A brown marker would be too dark.)

Cut 2 Eerie spiders from spiders from black cardstock. 

Stamp the greeting - from the new Magical Halloween Clear Stamp and Die Set - on a Key Lime 8.5x11 sheet with Nocturne VersaFine Clair.  Quickly heat-emboss it with detail clear powder.  Cut it with the 2" wide Nested Globes die.  Shade the edges with Nocturne too.

Cut black cardstock with the 2-½" wide Nested Globes die.

Attach the diecuts to a top-folded light  kraft A2 card - use foam tape for the pumpkin and the heads of the ghosts.

Have a crafty weekend -hope your favorite Retailer has already ordered the 2024 Fall Cornucopie Collection!

Hello everyone!  Today's card features new products from the 2024 Fall Cornucopia release.  The ghost dies are so cute that I had to use them for my card.

I started by ink blending a panel of white cardstock using Distress Inks.  Once the ink was dry, I spattered the background with white ink.

Next, I die cut the ghosts from white cardstock and glued a scrap of black cardstock on the back of the ghosts for the eye color.  I glued all the ghosts to the background panel and trimmed any ghosts that were hanging over the edge of the paper.

I used foam tape to adhere it to a white card base.

I white heat embossed the sentiment on black cardstock, die cut it with the coordinating die, and glued it to the card using foam tape.

I love the fall season and can't wait to make more cards from this new release!

Have a great day!

Hi everyone!  There is a new Fall Cornucopia release today.  I have a scene card featuring the Cauldron Witch.  

Background:

Die cut acetate using a smaller die from the Circle Basics Set to create a moon mask.  Adhere temporary tape to the center and adhere to the upper left corner of an A2 white size card base.  Ink blend using Distress Oxide Ink, using the lighter ink around the moon and going out to the edges with the darker inks.  Colors are Dusty Concord, Villainous Potion and Black Soot.  Remove the mask and lightly ink blend with Lost Shadow around the moon and into the purple.  Use a small eraser and lightly remove some of the Lost Shadow ink to create the look of craters on the moon.  

Spiders:

Die cut spiders from dark grey card stock.  Add Glossy Accent to the top of the spider bodies and let air dry.

Focal Point:

Die cut the Cauldron Witch from heavy white card stock.  Die cut just the cauldron from the Black Glossy Paper.  Ink blend the witch with Oxide Ink with Dusty Concord and Villainous Potion for the hat and clothes.  For the face use Antique Linen.  Color in the hair with a black marker.  Ink the potion and bubbles with Distress ink  Twisted Citron and Forest Moss around the outside edges. Adhere the potion to the top of the cauldron.  

Frame:

Die cut the Birch Tree Trunks and the largest and 3 largest to create a frame from Black Glossy paper.  Adhere the 2 loose die cut trees to the backside of the frame on either side.  Adhere the other 3 tree cluster to the left center of the background. 

Hillside:

Fussy cut a hill into a heavy white card that is 4 1/4" wide to about 3" tall.  Ink blend with Distress Oxide inks from light to dark, Lost Shadow, Hickory Smoke, and then Black Soot.  

Assembly:

Adhere the background panel to an A2 top folding card. Adhere the hill side to the bottom of the panel.  Adhere the cauldron and witch to the center of the hill.  Add Glossy Accents to the potion and in the holes of the bubbles.  Adhere the frame with foam tape.  Add 2 spiders on the frame and 1 by the cauldron.

Hello and welcome, it's Angie here today with a quick easy clean and simple holiday card featuring the new Holly Wreath stencil and the Merry Christmas Wave die.

I love stenciling, especially with pastes, but often I don't have time to let them dry as I need a card quickly.  So this is when I will use inks and ink blending tools with the stencil.  Often the look I get with just ink is just too flat for me, so I will take colored pencils and a white gel pen to add darker colors and highlights with the white pen.

Here's another look at my card:

If you look closely you can see that I added darker greens and turqoise pencil to the leaves and green areas and then I took a red watercolor marker and colored in the berries a dark red.  Lastly I took the white pen and added highlights to the areas across from the darkest spots.   

Next I cut the Merry Christmas sentiment from white card stock and colored the background piece with the same ink I used initally on the stencil.  This die is great because you get all the separate letters too that you can use on a separate card in the future!  Lastly, I added gold jewels around the card.  Here's one last look:

I hope you like my stenciling accents and will give this technique a try.  It really helps the image pop and makes stenciling even more fun. 

Thanks for stopping by and happy crafting my friends!

Hello everyone.  I have a rustic masculine Christmas card to share today using more products from the 2024 Yuletide collection. 

 

Started with the background again and die cut the Narrow Woodgrain Planks from brown cardstock.  Darker brown cardstock was then trimmed to 4x5.25-inches.  Covered it with a sheet of double-sided adhesive and attached the planks to cover it.  For a spotlight effect, ink blended Gathered Twigs and Black Soot distress inks around the perimeter of the panel.

 

 

The candle base and top layers were die cut from white glitter and white mirror paper, respectively.  Shading was then added to them using cool grey Copic Sketch markers C00/0/1/2/3.  The flames were die cut from alcohol marker friendly paper and colored with Y11/15 yellow Copic Sketch markers.  The pine cones were die cut from dark brown and Kraft cardstock, while the pine needles were prepped as described in a previous post HERE.  The sentiment was heat embossed with white embossing powder on a strip of red Yuletide Plaid paper and a fish tail cut out for something different.  Assembled the card onto a white card base then added snow details with a white Posca pen to finish.

 

 

And that does it for my card.  Thank you for joining me today.  Have a wonderful day.
