The Spooky Season

Hello Crafty Friends! Happy Halloween! It's Laurie here! I am sharing The Spooky Season using Scary Doll Owen and Scary Doll Emma by Paper Nest Dolls as my Design Team Inspiration Card. I couldn’t resist squeaking in one final Halloween card!

The Details of My Card

For my card, I had to do some research! I’m not a big horror fan. So, I had to google what these characters were and colour them according to the photos online. Lol! I used my Copic markers to colour them and added Glossy Accents to the shovel and the knife. Also, I added silver gelly roll pen to all the metallic trim on Emma’s jacket.

Since I had two stamps to place on my card, I decided to create a slimline card, but I thought it would be fun to use the tag “Tis the Season to be Spooky”. So, I brushed Black Soot along the edges to give it a distressed feel. Next, I added a black mat to the tag and rubbed Brushed Iron wax on the mat, the die cut gates, and the mat of my card to tie them all in together. Once I did that, I placed my sentiment sticking above the card with an iron gate on either side of it with my characters layered in front.

I love the oval dies that I used for the black mat and the Skull and cross bone paper! Such a fun and interesting shape!

For embellishments, I used several bats and black rhinestone stickers, as well as a spider trinket that I placed over the printed spider on the tag. The only other thing that I added was the reverse “Scary” word to the tag. It summed up my card perfectly!

Scary Cute Halloween Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It's Laurie here! I am sharing my Scary Cute Halloween Card using Vampire Ellie by Paper Nest Dolls as my Design Team Inspiration Card.

The Details of My Card

For my card, I had so much fun colouring Vampire Ellie with my Copic markers! I knew that I wanted to give her black hair and decided to go with a ghoulish green and red since she is a vampire. I made her skin a bit lighter by not using E04 for my shadows to give her a deathly pallor. Lol!

For the balloons, I went with an ectoplasm green like in Ghostbusters and a black for the bat. I used my white gelly roll pen to make bat’s fangs stand out and for the highlights on both balloons. The balloons also had glossy accents add to them to make them look like real balloons. Star Dust Stickles were added to the red bows and red trim of her dress. 

I decided to create a mini slimline card since I wanted to create a spooky graveyard scene with my dies. Of course, if you have a vampire, you must have a moon dripping blood! Lol! So, I stamped the blood drips first before die cutting the moon out. That way the craters on the moon die did not cause voids in the stamped dripping blood. Next, I brushed Fossilized Amber Distress Oxide Ink around the edges of my moon to make it glow.

Then, I die cut the graveyard in Basic Black and Basic Gray to help differentiate the two layers. Don’t you love how the spooky sky and moon show through the gate to the graveyard!

For the sky, I went with some spooky green skulls paper to match my colouring. Plus, they reminded me of all the ghosts in the graveyard.

A couple of black glimmer bats add some sparkle to the sky. The “Scary” sentiment was die cut from red glimmer paper to match my red colouring.

Finally, the finishing touch was a scattering of red rhinestones and black sequins to match my colour scheme.

My Aloha Santa Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It's Laurie here! I am sharing My Aloha Santa Card for as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls using Vacation Santa Set. There are 7 stamps, which include Surfer Santa, Ice-cream Santa, Santa with Reindeer Floatie, Santa & Mrs. Claus, Palm Tree and Flamingo & Gifts, that come in both rubber and digital stamps.

The Details of My Aloha Santa Card 

For my card, I thought to create an Aloha card since Hawaii is the perfect place for Santa to take a vacation before his busy time of year! Lol!

Once Santa was coloured with my Copic markers in bright vacation colours, I placed him on a stitched circle cut out from paper that looked like pool water. I thought it would be fun to place the “pool” off-centred on the card and trim a small piece off the one edge.

Don’t you just love the sparkle of the Aloha sticker, and it pulls out the orange that I used in my colouring! Of course, if Santa is in the land of paradise, he needs a sunny day to folic in the pool! Hence the die cut sun behind the Aloha. Lol!

For my card base, I used green DSP for my palm die cut frame and then some orange DSP with flowers behind it to add to my colour scheme. To mirror the palm die cut, I used a paper palm leaf in one corner.

I added some Star Dust Stickles to Santa’s hat trim, white Gelly Roll Pen for the shine on his floatie and Glossy Accents to Rudolph’s nose. Finally, for embellishment, I used a few sprinkles to match the colours of my card.
