Traditions of Christmas Explosion Fun Fold Card

Happy Fun Fold Friday! The post title gives you an idea of the type of fun fold…and it’s explosive!! This one was surprisingly easy not to mention a lot of fun. As always, my inspiration comes from Jeanie Stark’s Mystery Monday Fun Fold series. You can get all the instructions and details on Jeanie’s Blog HERE.

So here’s what I came up with…

I honestly don’t think I’ve seen any cards made from the Traditions of Christmas Designer Series paper that are not simply beautiful. This paper does all the heavy lifting on any card. I used the dies from the Christmas Greenery dies to cut the floral images from the DSP. It’s hard to tell from the photo that I hand cut some of the small flowers to layer for some dimension.

And here is the explosive inside…how fun will it be to open it up!

The top sentiment is from the Words of the Season stamp set and the bottom sentiment is from the Jolly Delivery stamp set. Both are stamped in Versa-mark with Gold embossing powder.

I’m excited to make a few more of these cards for a few other occasions. They are that fun to make. I hope you’ll head over to see Jeanie’s cards and details.

Thanks for stopping by today. I hope you have an enjoyable weekend!

Take care,

No Tricks, Just Treats…Halloween Door Hanger & Card

Comments: 0

Recently this month, my good friend and stamping guru, Jeanie Stark and I thought it would be fun to collaborate on a Halloween project. So we got together earlier this month and decided to create a 3D treat holder and coordinating card using the same products. Jeanie came up with the idea of a Door Hanger full of treats, so I was tasked with creating a matching card using products from Frightful Night and Spooky Sweet collection.

Here’s Jeanie’s treat-filled door hanger….you can head over to her blog HERE for all the details.

…and here’s the card I created.

The patterned paper is from the Spooky Sweet Specialty Designer Series Paper. The caldron is also from this collection as well as the candy corn. Having these images that just need to be punched out makes for an easy card. I added some crystal effects on the caldron to give it some shine.

The banner, from the Frightful Night bundle, is stamped and heat embossed.

And here’s a peek inside…

It was really fun to collaborate with Jeanie on this but she definitely got the “sweeter” end of it with all the treats! Now, I’m off to create a door hanger of my own! Thanks for joining us!

Take care,

“Witching” you a Happy Halloween – PP759

I’m calling today “Witching Wednesday” with my card for The Paper Players color challenge. Here’s a look at the colors we had to play with…

Color challenges are usually quite the challenge for me. However, given this color palette and the time of year, it screamed Halloween. I’ve been having a good time creating Halloween cards and using a lot of different stamp sets, both new and old. For today’s challenge, I pulled out an oldie but goodie from my stash…Hero Arts Witch Feet.

The card base is Granny Apple Green and the embossed panel is Gorgeous Grape. It’s embossed with the retired Parisian Flourish embossing folder.

I stamped the “feet” with black Versa-Fine ink and heat embossed them with clear embossing powder before coloring them with a combination of Copics and SU Blends. Then using the only die that comes with the set, cut them out.

The sentiment panel is trimmed with a die from SU’s Best Borders. I thought it looked like the hem of a skirt against the legs.

The inside sentiment and images are also from the Hero Arts set.

Well, I mentioned that I have three adult daughters, so this is the last of my “adult” Halloween cards. Now to create two cute cards for my young grandsons!

Thanks for coming back today…I have a fun post planned for tomorrow, so hope to see you then!

Take care,

Creating Coast to Coast for Halloween

It’s time for another cross country trip with Karen Hallam and myself. This month, Karen in California chose our theme…Halloween. So let’s take a look at Karen’s adorable card. I’m pretty sure this card will be going to one of Karen’s adorable, young grandsons. Look at that sweet little trick-or-treating piggy!

I’ll be sending my card to another of my adult daughters, so I went with a more “mature” but not too spooky card.

I used the Fright Night Bundle along with dies from the Peaceful Garden dies. They really worked well together here. The main image is stamped in Versamark ink and heat embossed with black embossing powder. I then sponged it with Garden Green ink.

The inside sentiment is from a Hero Arts stamp set.

If you haven’t come here from Karen’s blog, please head West to get all the details on her sweet card. Thanks for joining us on our monthly creating adventure. We hope to see you again in November.

Take care,

Rosanne
