Jump for Joy

I made this card for my sister's 24th birthday. Her and I both love fall, so I thought the Jump for Joy stamp set from Lawn Fawn would have the perfect images to use on this card.

And luckily enough, I had this card in mind when I started coloring up images for The Daily Marker 30 day coloring challenge! 😄

I had previously colored up the fox and leaves with Copic markers for days 1 & 2 of the coloring challenge, so from there I tried to decide how the put the rest of the card together.

Copic Color Combinations

I chose the Gallery Frame #2 from Hello Bluebird and cut it out using paper from the Echo Park paper pad A Perfect Autumn. I also used the Halloween Tree die from Hello Bluebird as well and a wood grain die from Hero Arts for the tree.

I used the same paper pad along with the Quilted Stitched Spirals background die from Lil' Inker Designs for the sky.

For the grass, I used Lawn Fawn's Fall Knit Picky paper and added the little picket fence border, cut from white cardstock, on top of that.

I popped up the interior frame on some Scotch foam tape, as well as any of the other pieces hanging over the frame. Then I added the fox to make him seem like he was jumping into the pile of leaves.

I attached the main panel onto a side folding A2 sized white cardbase with some Art Glitter Glue.

For the final step, I stamped the inside with the sentiments "Jump for Joy" and "It's your birthday" on the inside of the card.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Spooky Birthday

Halloween came and went so fast, I didn't even get a chance to make a post about this card.

It was a pretty quick and simple card made using:

-Distress Oxides

-Digi stamp from MKBdigitaldesigns (linked below)

-Tree die from Tim Holtz Ghost Town Halloween Thinlits

-DCWV Ghost Stories 6x6 paper pad

I ink blended the distress oxide background with Black Soot, Mermaid Lagoon, and Cracked Pistachio onto a piece of Bristol smooth cardstock with Ranger blending tools.

I cut the panel down to 5.25"x4" and added some of the trees cut using the Tim Holtz die and 110 lb. black cardstock.

I printed out the digi stamp and colored it using alcohol markers. I fussy cut it out and lined the edges with a Memento Tuxedo black marker.

Once everything was glued down to the front panel, I added it on top of an A2 sized piece of patterned cardstock from the DCWV paper pad.

Then I went around the edges with some Tea Dye Distress Oxide.

Because this creepy card was inspired by The Ring, I added the sentiment "I hope your birthday is S-well!" to the inside of the card.

And that's it! I think it makes for a creepy cool and unexpected birthday card.

Thanks for stopping by!

Horror Digi Stamp

Terrifyingly Good Birthday

Hello!

I had the perfect birthday card in mind for my horror loving cousin, but it involved some characters that aren't readily available as stamps; so off to Etsy I went and came across these digi stamps. They were perfect! I don't know how the artist managed to make these horror icons so adorable, but my gosh are they cute! 😍

This card involved a lot of copic coloring in a variety of combinations, mostly all found using Sandy Allnock's hex chart.

The background was made using black soot, mermaid lagoon, and cracked pistachio distress oxides. I blended the colors onto some olive green cardstock using my Amazon blending brushes.

I cut out the Lawn Fawn peekaboo backdrop from a piece of 110 lb. black cardstock and glued it to the blended background.

Before I glued down all the little guys, I placed them where I planned on putting them so that I could position my sentiment.

For the sentiment, I used the "Happy Birthday" stamp from The Sassy Club's Ghosty Friends. I took some Versamark ink and stamped it down, adding some Recollection's white detail embossing powder over that.

After I melted the embossing powder with my heat tool, I glued down all of the images.

I used MS Word to print "Wishing you a TERRIFYINGLY good day." onto a piece of white cardstock.

Once the inside was printed, I trimmed down the card stock to an A2 sized card base and attached the main panel to the front.

I'll be sure to link the Etsy shop below where I found these digi images.

Thanks for stopping by!
