Ghostly Mummies, Mummy Ghosts…or Ghummies? by Jean Okimoto

P1035502

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.

P1035481

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!

Halloween Greetings
by Donna Sledzik

IMG_9061

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!

Let it Snow - 2024 Yuletide Release
by Angie Cimbalo

Main

Hello and welcome, it's Angie here today with a cute winter card featuring products from our newest release - 2024 Yuletide!

Here's a closer look at the skiing bear called Wintertime Bear 94819:

Close

This bear can be cut to be skiing or ice skating so there are lots of possibilities!  

I cut all the bear cuts from white card stock and then colored them with alcohol markers and a white gel pen.  I added him to a piece of trimmed red card stock from the Blush paper pack SP1012, added a black piece slightly large to make a frame.  I popped the whole panel up on foam tape to the background panel.

The background was made with the new Winter Knit 3D embossing folder EF1044 and then inked with red ink on the embossed side.  Once it was all put together, I added the embossed panel to the front of a heavy weight card base.

I heat embossed the sentiment from the newest stamp set called Holiday Wishes CL5286 in white on black card stock, then trimmed it and added it to the bear panel.

Here's one last look:
