Hello Friends!

Halloween is just around the corner, and I couldn’t be more excited to share this purr-fectly spooky project featuring the Lovely Layers: Scaredy Cat Dies from Honey Bee Stamps! This fun and interactive card lights up, adding a magical touch to any Halloween greeting.

CARD RECIPE

Critters - Lovely Layers: Scaredy Cat Dies

Sentiment - Sweet Halloween Stamps and Dies

Moon - Sweet Stacks: Circles Dies

Background Paper - Sweet & Spooky Paper Pad

Gems - Fall Is In The Air  and Sweet & Spooky Gem Stickers

Creating the Background

To set the spooky scene, I began by ink blending the night sky using Distress Oxide Inks in Black Soot and Prize Ribbon, followed by spritzing with Distress Spritz - Uncharted Mariner to give the sky that eerie, starry texture. The moonlight was added with a circle die cut from the Sweet Stacks: Circles Dies and a layer of vellum, which diffuses the light beautifully when the card is illuminated.

Light-Up Feature

To bring the card to life, I incorporated an EZ-Light - 3-Light Strand. This was easily hidden behind the vellum circle to give that perfect glowing moon effect. When you press on the pumpkin, the card lights up, making it an enchanting surprise for the recipient!

The Main Elements

The focal point of the card is the adorable black cat, crafted with the Lovely Layers: Scaredy Cat Dies. I love how the die cuts give dimension to the cat, making it pop off the card. I paired it with a vibrant pumpkin and I added shading to using detail blending brushes. 

The bat flying above adds a playful touch, while the witch's hat on the cat (cut from the Sweet & Spooky Paper Pad) and the striped background panel from the same collection add coordinating patterns and colors, tying the design together.

Finishing Touches

For a little extra sparkle, I used both the Fall Is In The Air Gem Stickers and Sweet & Spooky Gem Stickers to add some extra details to the background. I also couldn’t resist adding highlights using a White Gelly Roller Pen for that extra pop.

The sentiment, "Happy Meowloween!" from the Sweet Halloween Stamps, finishes the card on a playful note.

This light-up Halloween card was so much fun to make, and the EZ-Lights added a simple yet magical touch that brings the whole design together. Honey Bee Stamps' products make it easy to create interactive and festive cards, perfect for Halloween or any spooky season project!

If you’ve never tried making a light-up card, this project is a great place to start, and with Halloween right around the corner, it’s the perfect time to experiment with fun new techniques!

Thank you for stopping by and until next time... Happy Crafting!

Witch Please Halloween Card | Honey Bee Stamps

Happy Monday Friends!

Have you checked out the new Spooktacular Release from Honey Bee Stamps?! There are so many cute products for Fall and Halloween. 

For my card today I am using a couple of the new Halloween sets. So let's get started.

CARD RECIPE

• To begin I stamped out the broom from the If the Broom Fits stamp set using Bee Creative Intense Ink and at the same time created a mask which I then fussy cut and covered the broom. Leave the broom in the stamping tool for re stamping later.
• Using the Circle Spotlight Stencil I then blended out some clouds filling in the masked area also using the Outdoor Scene Builder Stencils.
• I then removed the mask from the broom and colored it using Copics.
• Because the mask lifted some of the ink, I then placed the panel back in the Misti and re-stamped it for a darker impression. 
• I then stamped out the Witch Please sentiment from Hocus Pocus.
• The cat from the If the Broom Fits stamp was then stamped onto the broom.
• Next, I did some partial die cutting using only the end of the broom and then sliced off the paper to the edge of the die-cut broom end. 
• I then popped some foam dots onto the backside of the panel and glued it to a card base that I had adhered a piece of pattern paper to from the new Spooktacular Paper Pad.
• To finish I added some Spooktacular Gem Stickers and white gel pen details.

I left the inside of this card blank as you could use it for so many occasions around Halloween tine.

Hope you enjoyed this simple Witch Please Halloween Card design. Stay tuned as I will be back again tomorrow for the Spooktacular Release Instagram hop and I will share it here too!

Thank you for stopping by and until next time... Happy Crafting!

Check Your Boo Bees Slimline Card | Honey Bee Stamps

Hello, my Crafty friends!

Today's card is kind of a Public Service Announcement as well as a punny not so funny card if you know what I mean. 

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month as well as the obvious Halloween Month. So I thought it would be fun to mash the two. 

As you may or may not know I don't just make cards, I also am an Oncology Nurse in my day or evening job (depending on what shift I'm working). Did you know breast cancer is the most commonly occurring cancer in women and is the second most common cancer overall! Also, it is rare but it can also happen in men. It's true I have had male breast cancer patients. So please, do your diligence and get your tata's checked, and while you are at it check everything else. I like to think of October as a reminder to look at when I have to book my next Mammogram and check-up. 

Ok enough serious talk, let's look at this slimline Boobee card! Get it, Boo Bees... LOL! I crack myself up sometimes and laugh at my one jokes 😂 life is too serious!!!

I began by adding white ink blending to the black slimline panel by using the top layer of the Scattered Leaves Stencils. Don't they kinda look like ghosts shapes? For a pop of color and some sparkle, I splattered some gold onto the background panel.

I then die-cut all the elements I needed to put it all together. The Ghosts, the Boo Buzz word, and the letters. See all the supplies linked below.

Finally, I stamped out the bees onto vellum, to give them a ghostly look and then stamped out the sentiments that were then heat embossed in gold. 

I hope no one takes offense to my card today. I love punny cards and hope you do too.  If time permits I will share an IG reel over on my Instagram feed. Hope to see you there.

In the meantime, ladies check your ladies and all your other parts, gents you can do the same (your own parts I mean), and thank you for stopping by! Until next time... Happy Crafting!
