For My Favorite Boooooo!

Good morning everone!  Today I'm sharing a Halloween card using one of the new stamp sets from Paperie Ink.

Today I'm using the new My Boo stamp set.  I started my card by diecutting a 4.25" x 5.5" stitched rectangle, a stitched circle, and a stitched grassy slope from bristol card.  I sponged distress oxide inks on all three pieces of bristol and spattered them with water drops.  Once dry, I spattered them with thinned white and black acrylic paints.  I adhered the stitched rectangle to my card base and then stamped the row of tombstones along the edge of the grassy slope.  I adhered the moon and a diecut tree directly onto my card with liquid glue and I adhered the grassy slope with foam tape.  I stamped the images on Neenah cardstock, colored them with copics, and fussy-cut them.  I used a black glaze pen on the ghosts' eyes and adhered the stamped images with foam tape.  

Thanks so much for stopping by.  I hope you have an amazing week!

When Black Cats Prowl ...

Good morning and happy Monday!  Paperie Ink has a new release in the shop and it's all about Halloween and Fall.  Be sure to check the new stamp sets out! 

Today I'm using images from the new Happy Haunting stamp set.  This set has adorable puppy and kitty trick-or-treaters, along with accessory stamps.  The bats are from the Oh Bats stamp set.  I started my card by cutting a slimline cardbase which measures 3.5" x 8.5".  I also cut a piece of Halloween pattern paper that measures 3.5" x 8.5" and adhered it to my card base.  Next I diecut three circles from bristol card, sponged them with distress oxide inks, and spattered them with water drops.  I also sponged a piece of paper for the sentiment and adhered the diecut circles and sentiment to my card.

I stamped all the images on Neenah cardstock, ran them through my ScanNCut, and colored them with copics.  I used a black glaze pen on the kitten's eyes and the bats' eyes and noses.  I used a white glaze pen to add some highlights to the images.   I adhered all the images with foam tape.

Going The Extra Mile To See You Smile

Happy Tuesday everone!  Today I'm sharing a clean and simple card using stamps from Paperie Ink.

I used stamps from the Three Bears stamp set.  This stamp set includes three bears, birds, fun accessories, and sentiments.  It's perfect for making cards to let your family and friends know that you are thinking of them, especially during this trying time.   I stenciled clouds onto the base of my card using Spun Sugar Distress Oxide Ink.  I sponged some bristol card with Cracked Pistachio Distress Oxide Ink, diecut it using a grass die, and adhered it to my card base with foam tape. I stamped the sentiment onto black cardstock and heat embossed it with white embossing powder.  I stamped the images on Neenah cardstock, ran them through my ScanNCut, and colored them with copic markers.  I used a black glaze pen on the bear's eye and nose.  I adhered the images with foam tape and then added a few tiny diecut hearts for embellishments.

Leaves Are Falling, Autumn Is Calling

Good morning and happy Monday!  Did you know that Paperie Ink has a new release in the shop?  The new release is all about Halloween and Fall and there are five adorable new stamp sets available - go check them out!!! 

Today I'm using the new Autumn Is Calling stamp set.  This set has the cutest little bunny scarecrows, sunflowers, pumpkins, and crows - everything you need to make fun fall cards!  I started my card by cutting a slimline cardbase which measures 3.5" x 8.5".  I also cut a piece of bristol card that measures 3.5" x 8.5".  I sponged distress oxide inks on both the bristol and the card base and spattered some water drops.  Next I used a rounded rectangle die to diecut four windows in the bristol card.  I stamped one of the sentiments from the stamp set in the top window area and then adhered the bristol card with foam tape.

I stamped all my images on Neenah cardstock, ran them through my ScanNCut, and colored them with my copics.  I added some white highlights to the sunflowers with my gel pen, and I used a black glaze pen on the scarecrow and crows' eyes.  I adhered all the images with foam tape to give my card some dimension.

Thanks so much for stopping by!  I hope you have an amazing week.

This stamp set features lots of fun and adorable unicorns! I stamped the images on Neenah cardstock, cut them using my ScanNCut, and colored them with copics.  I cut my card base and a piece of bristol card to measure 3.5" x 8.5".  I sponged the bristol card with distress oxide inks and spattered it with water.  Next I diecut three circles in the bristol card.  I used stamps from the Make A Wish stamp set and stamped the sentiments just above the window openings.

I sponged the same distress inks on the base of my card behind the window openings.  I adhered acetate and foam tape to the back of my front panel so I could create a shaker card.  After I filled the openings with sequins, I assembled my card.  I used liquid adhesive to adhere the unicorns and cupcakes and then added a few clear sequins to the front of my card.

Isn't this couple adorable?  Looks like they're dressed for fall and I love her little fuzzy hair bauble!  I made this a 5" x 7" card so that I could include both of the images on my card, and I colored them to resemble my grandson and granddaughter!  I printed the images on Neenah cardstock, ran them through my ScanNCut, and colored them with copic markers.  I sponged the base of my card with distress oxide ink and attached a strip of fall pattern paper along the edge.  I diecut a small heart and stamped one of the sentiments from the stamp set.  I adhered the images with foam tape and that finished off this clean and simple card.

Paperie Ink - Splish Splash

Good morning!  Today I'm sharing another fun card using new stamps from Paperie Ink.

I used stamps from the new Splish Splash stamp set.  These stamps are so cute and work perfectly for all your summer and ocean-themed cards.  I used a circle die to cut three openings in my card front and then lightly blended some distress inks around the edges of the panel.  I did some ink smooshing on a piece of watercolor paper using distress inks.  I stamped the bubbles from the stamp set and heat embossed them with white embossing powder.  I adhered the watercolor panel onto the front of my card base and then adhered the diecut white cardstock with foam tape.  I stamped the images on Neenah cardstock, cut them with my ScanNCut, and then colored them with copics.  I used a black glaze pen on the hippo and fish eyes, and applied Nuvo Crystal Glaze on the little pearl in the clam.  I adhered all the imagaes with foam tape.  I heat embossed a sentiment from the stamp set, diecut it using a flag die, and adhered it to my card.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  I hope you have a beautiful week!
