BOOtiful Haunted Halloween House Card | Honey Bee Stamps

Hello BOOtiful Friends! 

Today I have a super cute Haunted Halloween Card featuring the HAUNTED HOUSE ADD-ON | HONEY CUTS for the HOUSE BUILDER CARD BASE. I had so much fun putting it all together and creating this faBOOlous scene.

CARD DETAILS

To begin I started by die cutting all the pieces and elements for the house using both die cuts from the HAUNTED HOUSE ADD-ON | HONEY CUTS for the HOUSE BUILDER CARD BASE. To keep it simple I used only two colors of cardstock.

Before piecing everything and gluing it together I used an embossing folder to add texture to the house panels. I then blended out some Hickory Smoke distress oxide inks on the house panels and Black Soot onto the roof panels.

I also blended the smaller detail elements using black soot to darken the pieces and contrast to them.

Now that all my pieces were cut and colored, I then was ready to begin gluing the pieces for the House base together. Next, I figured out where I wanted the windows to be and die cut those out. Since I wanted the light to be able to shine through the inside of the card I created a template first of where the windows were so that I could cut them out in the exact same spots on the card base and the background panel.

Now I was ready to glue all the pieces onto the house.

I created frames for windows by die cutting the window panels out and then fussy cutting along the creases of the die-cuts. This was just to add some contrast to the windows.

Behind the openings of the windows, I glued pieces of vellum. I also die cut the ghosts out of vellum and added a layer of liquid pixie dust for shimmer.

Along the bottom edge of the pathway, I added the spooky iron fencing, some tombstones, pumpkins and a few skulls from the BOO-TO-YOU | CONFETTI MIX.

For the background I used a circle die to cut out the template for the moon using masking paper. I then used the new BACKGROUND BLENDER BRUSHES to blend out Fossilized Amber, Wilted Violet and Blueprint Sketch Distress Oxide inks on the areas that would peek through behind the house. I then splattered the sky with white pigment ink and removed the mask for the moon.

Next, I used the template I created earlier to die cut the windows from the background and the card base. I then glued the 3 layers together using the window openings as my guide to keep the layers all lined up. Anything that hung off the edge of the card base was then trimmed off.

I then die cut a few creepy trees and incorporated them into the scene. To give them a night sheen, I painted on some liquid pixie dust.

I then finished off the scene by adding some stars in the sky from the BOO-TO-YOU | CONFETTI MIX and some cute little bats.

For the sentiment, I used the Hello Bootiful Stamps from the FABOOLOUS SENTIMENTS to stamp directly onto the roof.

Here's what this BOOfiful scene looks like in the dark with a tea light shining through the open windows.

As you can see I used a cobweb on the inside of the attic window to cast a shadow when the light shined through it.

Fall Blessings | Ink On 3


Fall Blessings for Ink On 3 by ilovedoingallthingscrafty.com

Hello Friends!

In a few days it will be Fall officially. Spring and Fall are definitely my favorite seasons of the year. I think it may have to do with how short the seasons are here in Canada and how quickly the leaves change everywhere. I love the warm colors of Fall and they are the inspiration for my card today.

CARD DETAILS

I began by stamping the images out using Blackout Ink and masking the beaver from the Platy-rific Pondies in the center of the card I then die cut a mask for it so that I could add the leaves around him using the die from Platy-rific Pondies Coordinating dies. Since the die cuts leave a white space around the stamp, I later will connect any lines afterward to finish the image.

For the pile of leaves, I used leaves from Heels To You and the Poinsettia set. I also die cut a few of each using the dies from the coordinating sets Heels To You and Poinsettia. Behind the beaver I also stamped out some pond greens that also come from the Platy-rific Pondies set.

To color these images in I used Copic markers. Under the pile of leaves, I stamped out the script blessings from the Blessings set using Blackout Ink.

Once the coloring was complete I die cut the panel using a Rectangle Stitched Die Frame and glued onto a Kraft Cardstock panel that I eventually glued on my card base.

Next, I die cut the letters out for "HAPPY FALL" using the Phat Alphanumeric Dies. To color them in I stuck them to the sticky side of a strip of washi tape to hold them in place while I colored them in using Copics.

I then used foam tape to pop the letters onto the card front. Next, I used a water brush pen filled with Liquid Pixie Dust to paint the shine onto each letter. Once it was dry I added a layer of glossy accents to seal in the sparkly shine and make them look like bubble letters.

Hope this cute Fall Blessings card inspired you to stretch out your stamps by pulling elements as I have with this card to create a totally different scene other then what the stamp sets were initially designed for.
