Critter Costume Party Card | Not 2 Shabby Design Team Project

Jackie Pasko

Hello crafty friends! Welcome! It’s still August but I’m creating my first Halloween card of the year. When I saw this new stamp set from Not 2 Shabby, I had to ink it up right away. It’s called Critter Costume Party. You get a lot of darling images and sentiments in this set.

I also have a 10% off coupon code for you for the Not 2 Shabby Shop: N2S10

This is 1 of the 4 new stamp sets in the Not 2 Shabby Shop. All of them are fall/Halloween themed. Here is a link to check them out: New Stamps Bundle

They are all fall/Halloween related stamps. With this bundle you’ll be all set for your fall time card crafting.

I stamped most of the images onto a piece of Spectrum Noir Smooth White Cardstock–great for using with your alcohol markers. All colored them in using the same yellow, purple and brown markers. This will add cohesion to your card. I fussy cut them out with a small, white border.

I used a window die to cut out a frame with black cardstock and with Bristol Smooth Cardstock. The latter paper works beautifully with ink blending. I blended Distress Inks onto the little window panels. The colors I used are Spun Sugar, Picked Raspberry and Wilted Violet on 2 panels. On the other 2 panels I used Carved Pumpkin, Wild Honey and Squeezed Lemonade. I wanted to put some bright colors behind my critters.

Next I started putting the card together. I glued down the window frame and window panel with liquid adhesive.

I used foam tape to pop up my critters in the windows. I also used some Pretty Pink Posh jewels call Boo to add some sparkle to the card.

And here is the finished card! I had a blast putting this one together! Let the fall time and Halloween time card crafting begin!!

Below is my process video! You can watch it here or over on my YouTube channel in HD!

Have a lovely day! Thank you for stopping by my blog!

Spellbinders August Club Kits and Fun Stampers Journey Craft Happy Set

Jackie Pasko

Hello crafty friends! I have a few projects to share with you! I’m crafting with Spellbinders August Card Kit, their Small Die of the Month and a darling stamp & die bundle from Fun Stampers Journey called Craft Happy.

The first three cards I created using the August Card Kit. It’s called Around the World, and it’s all about vacations and relaxation. To create card number 4 I used the Small Die of the Month, and on card number 5 I used a new stamp and die set from Fun Stampers Journey.

Card 1: Relax with Fruity Drinks and Popsicles Card

I loved the paper pad that came in this kit. The designs are fabulous. On my first carded I used this happy looking paper paper from the pad Around the World. I also used a lot of cute die cut shapes from the kit.

Card #2: Happy Journey Card

I used another piece of pattern paper for my next card. I love stripes. I also used several die cut shapes and colored them in with colored pencils. I also colored the stripes behind my sentiment pink to help make the sentiment die cut shape stand out a little more. I stamped the word happy with red ink to make it pop.

Card #3: Staycation Card

This has been my vacation this year–a staycation. I didn’t travel anywhere with my family because of the pandemic. However, like this card says, “I heart here!” Home is one of my favorite places to be. Give me home and family and books (and crafting supplies) and I’m a happy camper. I let my books take me to exotic locations this year.

Card #4: A Little Note Card

I used the Small Die of the Month to create this card. The set is called Sitting Pretty. I cut out the dies with several shades of pink cardstock. I glued the shapes onto a gray panel. I used the inlay technique to add pink cardstock inside the die cuts. This set is fun because you can create your own sentiment with this alphabet die set. I love all occasion cards, so I simply spelled out “Hi” and “A Little Note.”

Below you’ll see what exactly these little dies look like. They are very ornamental and pretty.

Card #5: Creativity is Messy Card

On card #5 I’m using a new Fun Stampers Journey stamp and die bundle called Craft Happy. I love the stamps in this set and the pretty lime green coordinating dies. I stamped the paint tube stamp onto pieces of colored cardstock. I used the coordinating die to cut them out. I used Copic markers to add a little bit of detail to each tube. This is a very simple card, but I love how it turned out. There is so much you can do with this darling set!

Here is a look at the stamp set as well as the coordinating dies. I love that they’re lime green!

Thank you for stopping by! I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Spellbinders Spooky Cottage Treat Boxes | Spooky Cottage & Charming Cottage Dies | Becca Feeken

Jackie Pasko

Hello! Welcome. I’m creating something a little different today. Spellbinders sent me some really adorable cutting dies to kick off our Halloween and Christmas crafting. I’m not ready for fall yet, but crafty supplies like these make me feel a little bit better about our impending fall and winter seasons. These are some new dies set in the Spellbinders shop designed by Becca Feeken, and they are called Charming Cottage and Spooky Cottage dies. I created two treat boxes using elements from both sets. However, I am planning on creating some spooky, fun Halloween cards using these dies.

Image3

There are actually three sets in this new release, but I have two of them to show you. I love all the embossed details that these dies create. The spooky tree is just fabulous–the die embosses the grain of the bark!Image5

I filled my treat boxes with lots of Halloween candy–yes, it’s August and the stores are already selling Halloween candy! You can put a lot of candy in these seemingly little boxes.

Here is my process video! I hope you enjoy!

Take care, my crafty friends!!

Doodle Cards using Storytime Paint Pens | Spellbinders & Jane Davenport

Jackie Pasko

Image3

Hello! Thanks for stopping by! I have never used acrylics of any sort in my art or my cards, and today I’m trying out Jane Davenport’s Storytime Paint Pens called Wonderland. I love trying out new art mediums, and I really had fun with these pens. The set comes with 5 bold pens and 5 fine pens of the same colors. I love how smooth they go down on the paper, and I love that they look bold and bright on any color of cardstock you use.

080720-StoryTime-GWP-Social-1200x1200

Today they are giving this set of pens away with a purchase of $75 or more. It’s a $39.99 value! They also have black and white acrylic pens.

Image2

Card #1: Doodle Flower Die Cuts Card

On my first card I began by doodling on kraft cardstock with these pens. I wanted some of the kraft to show through, but I added many layers of colors. The pens are opaque, so you can add lots of layers and the colors show up brilliantly. I then die cut them with a set of Spellbinders floral cutting dies which came in a previous card kit. However, use whatever dies you have on hand if you want to give this technique a try. I love the look of these flowers–so fun and bright!

Image1

Card #2: Doodle Flower on Black Cardstock

I drew in my flower with a white charcoal pencils on a piece of black cardstock. I then went over my lines with these pens. I added lots of dots and doodles, and I thoroughly enjoyed painting with these pens.

Here is my process video! You can watch it here or over on my YouTube channel in HD.

I hope you have a wonderful day! Thanks for visiting!

Under the Sea Inspiration Hop Day 3 |Cartoon Copic Slimline Card

110264468_10218011293055251_7747511557074759001_o

Welcome to day 3 on the Under the Sea Hop! Click on the hashtag #saturdayunderthesea to see more inspiration from other hop participants. Today I have a fun cartoon slimline card to show you. I’m using a darling set from In Love Arts Shop called Ocean Animals & Mermaid Stamp set. I love the cute way these stamps are drawn.

Image82

I stamped the images onto a piece of Bristol Smooth cardstock. I also stamped out masks for the images. I covered the images with the masks and had fun ink blending using some Distress Inks.

I colored in all my images with an assortment of Copic Markers. I keep my Copics out on my desk because I use them so often. Here’s a picture of my messy desk–lol–but I wanted to show you these marker holders from Stamp & Storage. I love them because they have little slots in them to help me keep my Copics organized.
