Halloween Themed Card in a Box featuring Spooky Cat

Thank you for joining us for our "Enjoy the little things in life - Design Team Video Blog Hop. We are going to be giving you Halloween inspiration this month, grab a cuppa and sit back and visit the design team and pick up some some great ideas and tips including how to videos.

When I saw the Cat Punch in the Holiday Catalogue, it went straight on my wish list - little miss 10 was so excited when she unpacked my delivery that not only contained the cat punch,but also the Spooky Cat stamp set (purchase as a Bundle and save 10%)and matching Spooky Night Designer Series paper!

I've created a "custom sized" Card in a box for my project today - why custom sized you say, I specifically made the dimensions to accommodate:

1. the moon lit background design on the DSP
2. when the card folds flat it fits perfectly in a normal size envelope

Once you get the hang of what dimensions are required, it's possible to make your card in a box so many different dimensions so that you can take advantage of stunning DSP designs, specific stamp set elements, or die cuts. All the dimensions for this project are listed in the video tutorial for you.

I adhered the gorgeous Vintage CrochetTrim around the edge of the oval die cut, it was a little fiddly, HINT/TIP - wait for the tombo glue to become tacky it's easier.

Here you can see the inner panel of the card in a box, adhering your cat here creates a lovely 3D scene

Here's a quick tutorial of me making this Card in a Box, including the dimensions - enjoy!

Thank you for everything Hues of Happiness

Hello crafty friends, I'm using one of my favourite layouts today with the simply gorgeous Hues of Happiness DSP . I decided to make the card using Pool Party cardstock to complement the blue flowers in a bed of purples, I think it turned out lovely. I added detail to the card front by using the Scalloped edge from the Scalloped Contours Dies , and heat embossed a sentiment in silver from the Color & Contour stamp set . To finish I added a touch of bling with Rhinestone Basic Jewels . Thanks for visiting today, I hope you enjoyed viewing my project. Stay tuned for more inspiration and tips this month. I’ve listed the products I used below, just click on the picture and be taken directly to the product. I truly appreciate your support, it inspires me to keep crafting and helps to keep my blog and YouTube channel running.

Color Fusers Blog Hop May 2024

It's time for this month's Color Fusers Monthly Blog Hop! This month, our colors include Pebbled Path, Bubble Bath and Moody Mauve - perfect colours for a Mother's Day Card! I've used the new Attention Shoppers Bundle for my design - a super fun set with a mix of font and cute pictures that can be mixed and matched to be used for so many occasions. I added some InColor DSP and cut the feature circle using the online exclusive Everyday Details Dies - they are just amazing, I missed them being released due to being so busy at work - so take it from me, make sure you keep an eye on the Online Exclusives released each March, July and November. I decided on a "wash of colour" using Stampin' Blends then die cut with the coordinating dies. After stamping the sentiment I adhered the 3 die cut images and finished by adding a touch of bling with Silver ribbon and Basic Rhinestones.

Color Fusers Blog Hop July 2024

Hello July! and welcome to this month's Color Fusers Monthly Blog Hop! This month, we are featuring the Black, White and a colour of our choice. Well, I just happened to have Pretty in Pink on my desk from another project, and being pink, that became the colour of my choice! I started by grabbing a blending brush and applying Pretty in Pink, then run my fingers under the tap and splattered water onto the pink - the longer you leave the water the more colour it draws out from the card stock. When the card front had dried completely I stamped the butterfly and sentiment from Sketched Butterflies , adding splatters with a Stampin Write marker and the "splatter" stamp from Layering Leaves . To finish I splattered some Wink of Stella and added some rhinestones for that touch of bling!

Color Fusers Blog Hop June 2024

Hello and welcome to this month's Color Fusers Monthly Blog Hop! This month, we are featuring the 2024-2026 InColors. I decided to create a "mixer" using all the colours with a stamp from Country Birdhouse. The flowers are a mix of Petunia Pop and Pretty in Pink with a Peach Pie centre, with Shy Shamrock leaves. I used a Blender Brush with Summer Splash to the top and bottom of the card, working from the bottom edge up fading the colour as I went, then added a touch to the top for symmetry. To finish I added a touch of bling with Iridescent Pearls. These colours just "pop", so bright and cheery!
