Hey Boo Lacy Ghost Halloween Card with Scrapbook.com

For this card I started with an A2 piece of Wisteria cardstock and stamped the Tangled Webs clear photopolymer stamp from Scrapbook.com using clear embossing ink, then covered it with clear embossing powder and melted it down. I used a blending brush and Villainous Potion Distress Ink to create an ombre effect, keeping it darkest at the bottom and fading to no ink at the top, then splattered black shimmer Glitter Brush ink all over the panel. Once it was dry, I used the wave trimmer on the 4-in-1 paper trimmer to trim the panel down to 4x5-1/4", rounded all four corners with the 3-in-1 corner punch, and glued it to the center of a top folding card base.

For the sentiment I die cut “Hey Boo” from the Ghost Cat die set, cutting the main word from black cardstock and the shadow from vellum, then glued the layers together with liquid glue. I die cut the medium Lacy Ghost die from pink patterned paper from the Wildflower A2 Paper Pad and again from vellum, blended Kitsch Flamingo Distress Ink around the edges of the pink ghost, and layered it over the vellum one so just the lacy edges peeked out underneath. I added highlights to the creases and cheeks with an alcohol marker and a white paint pen, glued on a black cardstock face, popped the ghost up on the card front with 1mm foam adhesive, glued the sentiment on with liquid glue, and finished with a few Black Magic Glitter Pops of Color for extra shine.

Sending a Very Big Thank You SheetLoad Rewind Cards with Sassy’s LLC

For this month’s SheetLoad Rewind collaboration hop we are throwing it back to the October 2022 sketch from Call Me Crafty Al, and I used Sassy’s LLC Emergency Card Kit 87 to create a set of four rainbow thank you cards! I printed out the sentiments and pattern papers from the kit, cut my lilac Lawn Fawn cardstock card fronts following the sketch, and swapped the positions of the two horizontal pieces so my rainbow images would sit at the top of the card rather than the bottom, which felt more like me.

I added Villainous Potion Distress Ink along the bottom and sides of the lilac panels for a moody gradient peek, then splattered white paint and black luster brush marker ink around the edges before layering the teal panel on top with 1mm foam adhesive and adding a scalloped sugarplum rectangle with the sentiment along the middle in place of the horizontal strip from the sketch.

For the inside of each card I matched the sentiment theme so everything felt cohesive, using sentiments like “A Little Card to Say a Very Big Thanks,” and my personal favorite, “In Honor of Your Kindness I Humbly Offer You This Folded Piece of Paper,” all printed from the Sassy’s LLC kit. I finished each card with three Silver Glitter Pops of Color, one near the bottom sentiment and two near the top, just to add a little shine without competing with all the beautiful rainbow patterns from Sara Lihz!

Hubba Hubba Bubble Tape Fandom Friday Card with The Sassy Club

For this week’s Fandom Friday I had so much fun playing with the Retro Candy die set and the Hubba Hubba stamp set from The Sassy Club, using actual bubble tape packaging as my color inspiration to create the most nostalgic bubble gum card! I die cut the bubble tape containers from Guava, Ballet Slippers, and Sunflower cardstocks from Lawn Fawn, then altered one container by cutting it in half to create an open version with the swirled tape peeking out, and built the labels by layering yellow die cut circles onto the containers with smaller pink circles stamped with sentiments like “Still Popping,” “Chew Make Me Happy,” and “Hubba Hubba” in Monarch VersaFine Clair ink.

I trimmed a purple two tone striped pattern paper from The Sassy Club’s Fur You collection down to 4x5-1/4" for the background, then did a dry run of the layout before gluing all the bubble tape strips down first with liquid adhesive and popping up the containers with thin foam adhesive so the gum looked like it was weaving in and around everything in one big delightful mess.

Once the card front was assembled and glued to a white A2 card base, I felt like it needed just a little something extra, so I added solid purple clay pieces from Pretty Pink Posh’s Candy Corn Carnival Clay Confetti scattered around the bubble gum for a fun finishing touch that pulled in more of that purple from the stamped sentiments. The whole card just makes me want to go find a roll of bubble tape immediately and I think it would be such a fun card to send to a friend who needs a little pick me up!

Ghostly Hello Oh So Inspired Halloween Card with Scrapbook.com

For October’s Oh So Inspired collaboration hop hosted by Call Me Crafty Al, our group was inspired by the gorgeous torn strip paper card from Vicky Boucher, and I leaned into her strip design and twine detail using the adorable Charmed Halloween collection from Scrapbook.com! Instead of torn strips I used the Bold Curved A2 Plate die to cut strips from eight different pattern papers from the Charmed paper pad, then glued them in alternating patterns onto a thin printer paper cut to A2 size so everything would line up perfectly before attaching to my card bases, since I was making a full batch of eight swap cards.

I die cut a center panel from pink cardstock using a Nested Stitched A2 Rectangle die, stamped the cute little ghost from the Charmed stamp set onto white cardstock and cut it out with the coordinating die, then stamped my sentiment at the bottom of each pink rectangle in Onyx Black VersaFine ink using my MISTI to keep things consistent across all eight cards.

To assemble I glued a black cardstock frame from the coordinating die set onto the pink rectangle, then wrapped baker’s twine around the panel three times and tied it into a slightly off centered bow just like Vicky’s inspiration card before trimming the excess. I added foam adhesive behind the ghost to pop it up inside the frame, then attached the whole pink panel to the center of the striped background with foam adhesive before gluing everything to an A2 card base and finishing with a few Black Gloss Pops of Color scattered around the card for a little extra Halloween flair. I also stamped a Ghostly Hello sentiment on the inside of each card before tucking them into envelopes for the swap!

Love You Wildflower Frame Card with Scrapbook.com

For this card I started with a piece of vanilla cardstock run through the Geometric 3D embossing folder, then trimmed it to 4x5-1/4" and glued it to the center of a white A2 card base. I die cut the wavy rectangle window frame from a floral pattern in the Wildflower A2 Paper Pad, then die cut the rectangle window piece twice from a pink pattern in the same pad and layered both pink frames on top of each other before gluing the whole thing to the center of the wavy floral rectangle.

Using pink, yellow, and green papers from the same pad I die cut a collection of flowers and leaves from the Wildflower Decorative Die Set, and stamped the “Love You” sentiment from the Hello Wildflower stamp set onto yellow cardstock in Pinecone VersaFine Clair ink before cutting it out with the coordinating die.

I arranged all the flowers and leaves around the layered rectangle frame, gluing them down with liquid adhesive and popping the Love You sentiment up with thin foam adhesive so it had a little extra dimension, then attached the whole assembled piece to the center of the embossed vanilla panel with that same thin foam adhesive. I finished by adding White Glass Pops of Color around the flowers to bring in some subtle embellishment that tied in with the white flowers already in the patterned paper background!

Sending a Happy Hello Cat Card with Scrapbook.com

For this card I started with a piece of Pencil Eraser cardstock from Lawn Fawn cut to 4.5x5.75", used the Scrapbook.com Little Paws stencil with Aged Mahogany Distress Ink to add a tone on tone paw print pattern, then ran it through the Thick Stripes 3D embossing folder for extra texture before trimming it down to A2 size and blending more Aged Mahogany around all four edges for a soft border before gluing it to a top folding A2 card base. I die cut a doily heart background from soft teal cardstock using the Purrfect Pear die set, then die cut two cats and all their little details from black, pink, apricot, and vanilla cardstocks, using Antique Linen Distress Ink on the vanilla cat and Dried Marigold on the orange cat to add depth and dimension before gluing on their pink ears, pink cheeks, black eyes and noses, and coordinating teal and dark pink collars.

Once the cats were assembled onto the doily heart I die cut the word “Hello” from the Typewriter Alphabet die set in vanilla cardstock, stamped “Sending a Happy” from the Hello Bloom stamp set in Pinecone VersaFine Clair ink onto matching vanilla cardstock and fussy cut a bubble shape around it, then popped the doily heart up onto the card front with foam adhesive and glued the stamped sentiment above the die cut Hello so the full message read “Sending a Happy Hello.” A few Snowflake Glitter Pops of Color scattered around finished the card off with just the right amount of subtle sparkle!

It's Your Day Go Wild Card with Scrapbook.com

For this card I started with a sheet of striped pink paper from the Primrose 6x8 Pattern Paper Pad trimmed to 4x5-1/4", ran it through the Thin Stripes 3D embossing folder for a fun layered texture, then splattered black shimmer Glitter Brush ink all over the background and set it aside to dry. While that dried I stamped and colored the images from the Wild Side Friends stamp set using a black alcohol marker friendly ink and alcohol markers, then cut everything out with the coordinating dies. I die cut two square patterned papers from the same Primrose pad, one in dark gray and one in tones of green, using the oval Charming Frame die, then layered the dark gray frame on top of the green one and popped the whole frame up onto the embossed pink background with 1mm foam adhesive before placing the green oval inside as a little grassy scene base.

I arranged my colored animals, grass, and leaves inside the oval frame using a combination of liquid glue and thin foam adhesive so everything had varying levels of dimension, letting the tails of the animals peek out past the edges of the frame so it felt like the scene was bursting out of it. I stamped "It's Your Day - Go Wild" from the coordinating stamp set in Onyx Black ink onto a lighter shade of the same striped pink paper, cut it out with the coordinating die, and glued it right underneath the frame so the sentiment sat tucked below all the critters. A few Honeydew Gloss Pops of Color scattered around finished everything off with a soft little shimmer!
