Dracula Boo

Happy Saturday!

I hope you all are doing well.

We are having a beautiful day here in Colorado

and I cannot complain. 

Halloween will be upon us before we know it so

I wanted to pop in and share a cute card I made using

Dracula Boo Halloween from Polkadoodles.

I colored this cutie with Copics.

The sentiment is from

Boo Halloween Sentiment Bundle.

The patterned paper up top is from

Boo Halloween Printable Background Paper Bundle.

Christmas in Blues

Note Card Gift Set

Hey there! 

Today I'm over on the 

CutCardStock Creative Blog 

sharing my first project for this month. 

Basis Folded Card Sets are the Monthly Specials for October so

 I thought I would put together a Note Card Gift Set. 

This set includes 6 cards, envelopes and a box.  

For this project I have used 

BASIS 4X6 INCH FOLDED DISCOUNT CARD STOCK DIY CARDS in Natural, 

DCS DISCOUNT CARD STOCK: VANILLA BEAN BROWN,

 CLASSIC CREST NATURAL WHITE CARDSTOCK

I am also using a patterned background card stock, a stamp, brown ink and some twine.

The Vanilla Bean Brown card stock is cut to 5 1/2 x 2 inches.

I cut the patterned card to 4 3/4 x 3 inches.

My stamping is done on the patterned card.

Use a pattern that is minimal for your stamping to stand out.

I folded each of the card bases on the score line.

With the fold on the left side, adhere the brown card stock strips 

about 1/4 inch from the fold.

I used double sided tape.You can use your adhesive of choice.

Twine is wrapped 3 times around the top of the stamped card pieces and tied into a knot.

These pieces are adhered to the center of each card.

And we're done with the note cards!

Now that we have the note cards assembled we need a box to present them in. 

Using the Natural White Classic Crest Card Stock 

cut a piece to 9 1/2 x 8 inches and another piece to 7 3/4 x 6 inches. 

The larger piece is scored at 4 1/4 & 5 1/4 inches on the long side and 1 & 7 inches on the short side. Cut the squares in the center of the outside edges to the 1 inch score line slightly diagonally to form notches.

Take the smaller piece of card stock and score at 4 1/4 & 5 1/4 inches on the long side.

Now we will take the smaller piece and adhere to the inside the back of the larger piece.

I cut a notch with a circle punch into the center of the front edge. 

Then we are ready to adhere the sides together to form the box. 

The corners of the front flap were rounded, which is optional.

We are ready to embellish the box if desired. 

I added a piece of patterned card stock to the flap. 

A decorative brad was also added. 

To hold the flap closed, I added velcro.

All done and ready to slip in the note cards and envelopes.

I hope I've given you some ideas for creating your own Note Card Gift Set. 

The Basis Folded Cards on special at 

CutCardStock this month make it easy to get a great start.

Christmas Blooms

Hi there!

Today I'm sharing 2 cards I created using

a new digital stamp set from

Beccy's Place.

Christmas Blooms 

When you purchase this digital set you will receive a zip file containing:
- 2 black and white line drawings
- 2 full colour images
- 6 word images / sentiments

This slimline card was created with 3 poinsettias, one colored with 

Prismacolor Pencils and the other 2 outlined with glitter gel pens.

All 3 were fussy cut and place on top of die cuts.

The borders were created with corner punches.

The sentiment is from the set.

It was printed and cut into a narrow strip.

I also used 3 blooms on this card.

The background was embossed with

a corner embossing folder.

I colored the flowers with Prismacolor Pencils and fussy cut.

I've included a color chart below.

The sentiment from the set was printed

on the embossed background prior to embossing.

I added 3 red pearls.

Thanks for stopping by! 

I hope you'll check this beautiful set out!
