Fall Stuffies Gashapon Machine!

 This gashapon machine is serving up far more treats than tricks! I was frightfully excited when Trinity Stamps released the Fall Stuffies to join the Stuffies from earlier this year, so I had to jump right in and conjure up something with the new stamps and dies. With witches, ghosts, Frankenstein, skeletons, pumpkins, and more creeping into the mix, this card is almost too cute to spook. And all the tiny sentiments included in the set? I mean… how could I possibly resist?

These little "machines" are really simple to make.  Sneak on over to my YouTube Channel to see how I create them.  It is the same process, just different colors and images.  You can find that video here: https://youtu.be/N0fU17GPYa0 

It's hard to see from the pictures, but to step up the inside background of the machine, I did a little ink blending with Peacock Feathers, Twisted Citron and Squeezed Lemonade for a spooky sky.  I added a haunted house silhouette to tie it together.

Bah Humbug!

Bah Humbug! We all know that one friend who is just not feeling the Christmas cheer—and honestly, this card gets it. I created this bright and bold design with the new Grouchy Bah Humbug Sentiment by Kat Scrappiness, keeping things simple but full of attitude with angry eyes, holly and berries, and a few festive ornaments. It’s merry, it’s grumpy, and it is absolutely not pretending to enjoy the holiday music.

Creep It Cute

 

Can’t you just hear the spooky music playing softly in the background as Boo-larina twirls across the stage? With every graceful spin, she brings a little Halloween magic and a whole lot of charm to the scene. This sweetly spooky dancer is from the new Boo-larina Stamp Set by Pajama Crafter Stamps, and she is ready to pirouette her way right into your crafty heart. She has been placed on a dreamy inked background that feels like a moonlit Halloween night, complete with delicate vellum spider webs for an extra touch of ghostly sparkle. The result is cute, creepy, and completely enchanting—perfect for anyone who loves their Halloween cards with a dash of whimsy, a swirl of ballet, and just the right amount of boo!

To make her little stage moment even more unexpected, I stepped away from the usual orange, black, and purple Halloween palette and played with colors that feel a bit softer and more whimsical. They may be nontraditional for Halloween, but paired with Boo-larina’s stitched body, ragged tutu, and delightfully haunted expression, they give the card a uniquely spooky sweetness all its own.

I used Dried Marigold, Spun Sugar, Shaded Lilac and Wilted Violet Distress Oxide Ink to create this beautiful background.  For even more spooky fun, I used the Creepin It Real Stamp set with clear embossing powder to add tiny bit of dimension and interest.  

Boo-larina and her pumpkins are colored with Copic markers in the following colors;

• T0, T1, T3, T5, T7 - grays
• V01, V12, V15 - purple
• Y32, YR12, YR15, YR18 - orange
• Y02, Y13, Y17 - yellow
• RV10, RV02, RV63 - pink

Thank you for stopping by today and I hope you have a beautiful spooky season.
