My Steampunk Anniversary Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It's Laurie here sharing My Steampunk Anniversary Card using Goth Dad and Goth Mom by Paper Nest Dolls for my Design Team Inspiration Card.

I gave this fun card to my Hubby for our wedding anniversary this year. He loves anything steampunk and the Addams Family. So, I decided to add a steampunk vibe to my card with gears, a chain, a monocle, the Word Band, and my monochromatic colour scheme.

My Card Details

For my card, I decided that I wanted to colour the two images in black and white just like in the old TV series, but with a pop of red for the rose. I carried that colour scheme over with my paper choices and embellishments. The My Mind’s Eye paper was so perfect that I decided to make my card 6” x 6” and only cut off 1/8” for the card base. I lightly sponged the Brushed Iron wax to my die cut corner gears to give them added dimension and placed them underneath Goth Dad. To mirror them, I place Cherry Cobbler die cut roses on the opposite corner underneath Goth Mom. A black doily helps set off my focal point of the coloured stamps from the background.

For embellishments, I used a Tim Holtz Monocle and Word Band that mirror the Brushed Iron Wax in colour. I picked up the Ball Bead Chain from my local hardware store. The Cherry Cobbler Ribbon and Red Rhinestone, tie in my pop of red colour.

My Envelope Details

Since I went with a 6” x 6” card, I need to create a custom envelope and my Envelope Punch Board came to the rescue.

I used some Stampin’ Up Designer Series Paper that carried the monochrome theme over from the card. I used a sponge dauber to dab Cherry Cobbler Ink to the roses on the paper to tie in my pops of red. Some black lace fiber blend tied my envelope together with a matching gear tag.

Goth Family Happy New Year!

Happy New Year everyone! Betty here starting off this year with some of my favorite stamps that Paper Nest Dolls released late last year. There are four digital stamps that I used to create this goth family. I used Goth Dad, Goth Mom, Goth Boy, and Goth Girl. Growing up, my favorite TV show was the Addams Family. These stamps bring back many fond memories of my family watching this show in black and white. Ah...the good old days! 

These stamps are versatile and can be used for any occasion card. One popular use is for Halloween. These stamps are digital, so you can mix and match any of the characters or use just one for a card. These stamps are also great for scrap-booking, art jounaling, and attaching on treat bags. Since they are digital, you can make them any size you like! The card I made is A2 size and is colored with Copic markers.

Copic Markers Used:

Skin: RV95, E11, E21, E00, E5O

Cheeks: E93

Black Hair: T9, T7, T5, T3, T1

Blonde Hair: E25, E13, E21

Green Alligator: G99, G94, YG95, YG93

Wishing everyone a safe, healthy, and creative year!

A Goth Family Portrait

Hello Crafty Friends! It's Laurie here sharing my Goth Family Portrait for the Design Team of Paper Nest Dolls. This card incorporates 4 different digital stamps that include Goth Dad, Goth Mom, Goth Boy and Goth Girl from the October New Release to create my family portrait!

When I was little, I loved to watch the Addams Family in B&W on TV. I was so excited when I saw this month’s release! I decided to colour the family in the colours from the Addams Family movies. So, I gave them very pale skin, but with dark clothing using only T Copic Markers to achieve the effect. I love the pop of colour with the rose and the alligator. I thought they would want to have their portrait taken in front of some of their ancestors that are hung on the wall. Being a Halloween card, you have to have spider webs with spiders in the corners. I hope you like my take on my family portrait!

Cara Mia by Noelene

 Hi all, Noelene back again today to share some D.T inspiration.
Today I am using 2 adorably gooky & spooky images for the new Halloween collection released today. Inspired by the Addams Family movie. I am using Goth Mom & Goth Dad.

I have created a distressed romantic card today. This card is not just a Halloween card, but could be used as a non traditional Valentines Day card or a card for a couple who love all things Gothic. I love these images because they are so versatile.

I decided to do monotone colouring in Copics with my image using the C markers. With the exception of the rose which I coloured in red to stand out.

Goth Mom is available in store here & Goth Dad is available in store here. Make sure you check out Goth Boy & Goth Girl which are now in the store as well. 

I hope you enjoyed my card today! 

Thanks for stopping by!

Hugs
