Whittle Scary Guys Haunted House by Meghan Kennihan

Hi Crafty Friends,
It's almost SPOOKY Month and I am looking forward to it with this fun Haunted House Easel card. Poppy Stamps has so many fa-boo-lous Halloween dies.

Make Crafty Friends Q & A:
Q: Do you go to Haunted Houses this season?
A: Me? No! I'm a scaredy cat!

I used Poppy Stamps Neighborhood Home Pop Up Easel Set with black and gray papers to make my Haunted House with light yellow in the windows for the "glow".

I decorated my house with the Whittle Scary Guys. Using Copic Sketch R21 for their cheeks. I finished the inside of my card with the word BOO using the Poppy Stamps Marzipan Alphabet Set.

Twisted Witches Shoe by Meghan Kennihan

Hi Crafty Friends,
It's almost SPOOKY SEASON! I'm getting started early with this bewitching card featuring Poppy Stamps Whittle Witch and Witches Shoe.

Make Crafty Friends Q & A:
Q: What is your favorite witch movie?
A: Me? Witches

I started my card by creating an inky blended background with Distress Oxide Inks Wilted Violet, Black Soot, and Twisted Citron. Then I splattered it with white Copic Opaque Paint and Distress Oxide Black Soot Ink.

I framed my scene with the inside die of the Scalloped Stitched Frame Die. Then I place the Twisted Houses and little witch along the bottom of the frame and added green Fairy Jewels to her cauldron like the potion she is making is boiling over.

I finished my card by adding the EEK sentiment in black with a fluorescent green shadow using the Marzipan Alphabet Dies.

Another Clean and Simple All-Die Cuts Card! by Sphoorti

 

Hello Poppy Peeps!

 

It's Sphoorti again! Remember my post from the other day? I made another card that's very similar with the extras I had leftover, and stepped it up just a bit.

 

This one's also clean and simple, and completely made with just die cuts. No stamping whatsoever!

 

 

I ran the 2464 Marzipan Alphabet craft die multiple times through my Big Shot. All my alphabets were connected, so I ran them through to save time for the next time I might need some alphabets. I stacked a few letters together (just random ones, but with at least two glued together for extra dimension). I stacked the letters H and E and Y about five times for some extra dimension. I used Candied Apple and Picked Raspberry Distress Inks to color the H, E, and Y.

 

 

I cut some silver mirror card stock using the 2478 Scalloped Stitch Frames craft die and adhered one of the frames to my card panel.

 

 

Then I used the 2530 Large Stitched Envelope and Postage craft die to cut an envelope out of vellum. I kept the top flap of the envelope open. I adhered some alphabets inside the envelope and also foam mounted the envelope by adhering some foam tape discreetly behind the alphabets in the envelope.

 

 

I took the colored H, E, and Y, and adhered them in a way that it looks as if they're coming out of the envelope. I coated them with glossy accents for some shine.

 

 

The card looked a little barren to me, so I adhered a bunch of little enamel hearts in red and white coming out of the envelope. And that was it!

 

 

Thoughts? Questions? Epiphanies? Would you want to remake this card? Would you do anything differently? Let us know in the comments below! Thank you for visiting!

 

Love,

Sphoorti

Clean and Simple All-Die Cuts Card! by Sphoorti

 

Hello Poppy Peeps!

 

It's Sphoorti, and I have a very clean and very simple card for you today - all made with just die cuts, and no stamping! And all you need is one set of dies, i.e. the 2464 Marzipan Alphabet craft die!

 

 

Although very clean and simple and easy to make, this card requires a lot of die cutting. It's not for the faint of heart. But not to worry at all - just grab a comfortable chair, play an old sitcom you like (I personally opted for The Big Bang Theory), and die-cut away! It'll go by very fast!

 

I ran the 2464 Marzipan Alphabet craft die multiple times through my Big Shot. All my alphabets were connected, so I ran them through to save time for the next time I might need some alphabets. I stacked a few letters together (just random ones, but with at least two glued together for extra dimension). I stacked the letters H and I about five times for super dimension. I used Candied Apple and Picked Raspberry Distress Inks and colored the H and I.

 

At first I planned to scatter the letters all over the card panel (with no rhyme or reason) around the letters H and I.

 

 

But I'm a control freak and not too big a fan of chaos. I used some washi tape and attached the letters H and I at an angle at the bottom of the card panel. Then I glued the remaining letters in front of, behind, above, and below. Nicely and evenly distributed and arranged and ended up with this. 

 

 

I felt like something was missing, so I used some glossy accents for the H and the I. I still felt like something was missing, so I scattered some heart stickers and felt much better!

 

 

Thoughts? Questions? Epiphanies? Would you want to remake this card? Would you do anything differently? Let us know in the comments below! Thank you for visiting! Stay tuned for another post using the same die set and more!

Hi Crafty Friends,
Are you a Crazy Cat Lady? If you are, you will love the Fall 2023 Release Whittle Cat dies from Poppy Stamps. I paired them together on a paw print scallop card.

Make Crafty Friends Q & A:

I made a matching envelope for these kitties using the Large Stitched Envelope and Postage Die. I finished my card with the cute Marzipan Alphabet MEOW.

Layering Stencils with Gracious Florals by Janet Katz

 

The Gracious Floral release from Memory Box has so much to it. I'm very new to layered stencils, so when I got my hands on these, I almost didn't know where to start. I decided to use the stencils without the coordinating stamp and it's an interesting look.

 

The stencil pack has 5 pages to it. There is an outline stencil that allows you to color a background around the outline of the entire flower. I didn't use that this time. Each 6 x 6" stencil page has several layers of the flowers and leaves on it, carefully marked with letters and numbers such as A1 - A4, using letters A-E. This allows you to not only know what goes with what, but in what order to use the stencils. That is handy. I used several colors of plum dye ink for the flower, along with a brown for the center. The leaves were made from two different greens. After doing all the stencil work, I used the matching die to cut the entire stenciled image out. 

 

 

Then I used the die again to cut out the same shape from a medium plum cardstock and a green cardstock. I trimmed these and put them behind my stenciled die cut image as a sort of shadow.

 

Next, I used many of the stamps that came with the Gracious Floral stamp set to stamp a dark gray text background. I simply arranged all the stamps in a tight pattern on my stamp platform and tried that - check out the photo.

 

 

(I initially tried it with an additional spritz of water, but I did not like that result.) After I made this text background, I trimmed it and matted it onto the plum cardstock and then put it on the top 2/3 of a gray cardbase. I stamped the "sending smiles" sentiment in black ink under this.

 

Before I glued down the stenciled image with its solid-colored cardstock shadows, I took a piece of very fine metallic twine and curled it up into a "nest" and glued it on top of the stamped background to add texture. My last embellishment was to add clear Fairy Jewels in a random pattern on the card to give it some sparkle.

 

 

I hope you like this interpretation of the stenciled floral image. Have you tried layered stencils? What did you think of them?
