Hi, everyone!  Kelli here today with one final Halloween card to share with you!  Halloween cards are probably one of my favorite to make so I had to sneak one more in before it was too late.

The three monsters are from the Lawn Fawn – Monster Mash stamp set.  I stamped them in Memento – Tuxedo Black ink onto X-Press It – Blending Paper and colored them with Copics:
BV04, BV02, BV01, BV00
YG09, YG07, YG05, YG03
YR18, YR16, YR14, YR12

I cut them all out using the coordinating Lawn Fawn – Monster Mash die set.  The ‘BOO’ is from the Lawn Fawn – Critters in Costume stamp set and is cut out using the Critters in Costume die set.

I cut the tree out using the Paper Smooches – Seasonal Tree die set and adhered it directly to the background layer.  For the background I cut out a piece of X-Press It Blending Paper using one of the dies from the Lawn Fawn – Small Stitched Rectangle Stackables dies.  To add color I used the Dusty Concord Distress Ink from Kit #8 and the Faded Jeans from Kit #5 and blended them together using the 1″ Round Ink Blending Tool.  The stars were heat embossed over the top using a few stamps from the Lawn Fawn – Spooktacular stamp set.

The green patterned paper that I used for the grass is from the Doodlebug – Kraft in Color (Color) 6×6 paper pad and the orange ‘BOO’ and background layer are from the Lawn Fawn – Into the Woods 6×6 paper pad.

The card base is the Lawn Fawn – Walnut Woodgrain Note Card.  There are also kraft and white envelopes that go with this particular sized notecard!  Everything was adhered using the Crafter’s Companion – Adhesive Runner and dimensional foam adhesive.

To finish everything off I added some Wink of Stella Glitter Pen in Clear to random parts of the monsters and a few of the outlined stars.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  Have a great day!  🙂

Hi everyone, this is Valerie here today, and I had so much fun making this set of cards for the MarkerPop blog today!

I pulled out a bunch of Lawn Fawn goodies that I wanted to combine somehow, and I went to town! The Lawn Fawn products I’m featuring today are:

I made 3 different cards:

I used the new release from Doodlebug for ALL the patterned papers on all 3 cards, Friendly Forest.

Both the scalloped frame die and the stitched rectangular die are from Mama Elephant’s die set, Creative Cuts Basic Set.

I used my Copic Sketch markers for all the images that needed to be colored, and they are stamped onto X-Press It Blending Card Paper:

• Robot: C1, C3, C5, R20
• Robot’s Buttons: R24
• Present: RV10, RV13, RV14
• Cupckae: YR15, YR18 / Icing: R20, R22
• Clouds: A light line of BG000 along the inside lof the lines

 Here are some close-up shots and more details: 

Card #1 is a Birthday Card!:

The tree is heat embossed with a brown embossing powder.

The sky is created with 2 Tim Holtz Distress Inks: Tumbled Glass and Squeezed Lemonade.

Card #2 is for Fall

The tree is stamped with Tim Holtz Walnut Stain Distress Ink, colored with my Zig Wink of Stella Clear glitter pen, and then I heat embossed over it with clear embossing powder.

The sky is created with 3 Tim Holtz Distress Inks: Tumbled Glass, Salty Ocean, and Broken China

And last, but not least, Card #3 is also for Fall:

The tree is just die cut from a piece of paper from the Doodlebug paper pad mentioned above, using the die rom Lawn Fawn’s above mentioned die set.

The sky is created with just one Tim Holtz Distress Ink: Tumbled Glass.

I used the following Memento Ink pads:

• Memento Tuxedo Black Ink for all the black stamping.
• Memento Grey Flannel Ink for all the gears.
• Olive Grove, Dandelion, Tangelo, and Lady Bug for all the leaves
• Rosebud for the pink balloon on the birthday car.

All the Distress Inks are applied onto the paper with my Ranger Ink Blending Tool onto Bazzill Classic Smooth White Cardstock. The adhesive I use is the Crafter’s Companion Extra Strong Permanent Tape Runner.

Copic Sketch Marker colors I used:

 So that’s it, I hope you enjoyed, and Happy Crafting!

Hi, everyone!  Kelli here today with a Halloween card to share with you!  Halloween cards are one of my favorites to make.  I really think it’s because of the color theme!

The sweet little boy is the C.C. Designs – Pollycraft Jack and I stamped him in Memento – Tuxedo Black ink and colored him with Copics:
skin – E13, E53, E51, E50
hair – E27, E25, E23
pumpkin – YR18, YR16, YR15, YR12
pumpkin hat – BV04, BV02, BV01, BV00
vest and shoes – C7, C5, C4, C2
bodysuit – YG09, YG07, YG05, YG03
sky – B00, B000, B0000
ground – W3, W2, W1

To cut out the piece that the boy is on, the purple piece, and the orange piece I used one of my new favorite die sets by Lawn Fawn called Large Stitched Rectangle Stackables.  I am definitely getting the Small Stitched Rectangle Stackables set very soon!  I can see myself using those dies tons!

All the patterned paper is from the Doodlebug – Kraft in Color (Color) 6×6 paper pad.

I have been wanting to try out the Lawn Fawn cord so I finally picked up the Spooky Hemp Cord.  I really like it.  It’s not super bulky but you can manipulate it a little bit with the warmth of your fingers.  That’s how I was able to get the ends of the bow to curl up a tiny bit.

All the layers are adhered using the Crafter’s Companion – Adhesive Runner and dimensional foam adhesive.

I added some Pretty Pink Posh Sequins in colors: Pumpkin 6mm, Green 6mm (Nature Mix), Amethyst 4mm, and Clear 4mm.

To finish everything off I added some Wink of Stella Glitter Pen in Clear to parts of the colored image.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  Have a great day!
