Amanda Jayne Designs - Halloween Cuties Bundle #2

Hi everyone

I'm sharing my latest and last cards for Amanda Jayne Designs images.  For my card today I used cute little cow from the 'Halloween Cuties Bundle' - the bundle includes 8 character digi stamps and 32 digital papers. I created this card to promote the new monthly facebook challenge competition, with the chance to win 2 digis and 2 paper packs of your choice. 

For October's challenge, all you have to do create a project using at least one of Amanda's digital products with a Halloween or autumn theme. Good luck! If you're not a member of her facebook group, the link is at the bottom of this post.

Amanda has a lovely array of digi stamp, papers and sentiments in her Etsy shop, along with some pre-coloured images and papers. For your information, here is the link to the Amanda Jayne Designs Etsy Store or go to Etsy and search for Amanda Jane Designs 80 to check out all her lovely digi stamps and papers.




Here's What I Did
I trimmed down a piece of black webbed patterned paper and added it to the front of a black 6" x 6" card blank, leaving a slim border around the edge. 

Next, I imported the cute wizarding cow into my software program and created a border around him. I included a sentiment and spiders web to the design; then resized everything to fit my project. The scene was printed it onto Copic friendly card and coloured using my Copic pens. Using a filler stamp I added little swirls and hearts with purple ink. The finished picture was die cut into a square, then matted and layered onto grey and black card. To finish the card, the completed topper was mounted onto the front of the card blank.

Amanda Jayne Designs - Halloween Cuties Bundle

Hi everyone

I'm sharing my latest card using one of Amanda Jayne Designs images.  For my card today I used cute little dragon from the 'Halloween Cuties Bundle' - the bundle includes 8 character digi stamps and 32 digital papers. Daisy the dragon was coloured with Copic pens and added to a 3D haunted house card base with flying bats. 

Amanda has a lovely array of digi stamp, papers and sentiments in her Etsy shop, along with some pre-coloured images and papers. For your information, here is the link to the Amanda Jayne Designs Etsy Store or go to Etsy and search for Amanda Jane Designs 80 to check out all her lovely digi stamps and papers.


Here's What I Did
I imported the cute dragon into my software program, and it resized it to fit my project then printed it onto Copic friendly card. The dragon was coloured using my Copic pens and then fussy cut out. I typed up a sentiment, printed and cut it out with a banner die.

Using my Silhouette cutting machine design software I created a card base for the haunted house cutting file I had already had; everything was cut out along with an orange background to go behind the house. Using a couple of Copic pens I added extra colour to the door and windows. A couple of bats were also cut out using the cutting machine, and acetate strips were attached to the back of them

The black cut out house and orange background were stuck to the card front, with the bat acetate strips inserted in between them. To finish the card both the sentiment and dragon were added to the card front.  

Here's What I Used
Digi Stamps: 'Halloween Cuties Bundle'

Lili Of The Valley - Little Ghosts

Afternoon everyone

I'm sharing the last of my Lili Of The Valley Halloween cards using the new polymer stamps sets which have just launched in the LOTV Etsy store. As I mentioned in my previous post the new sets include - Little Ghosts, Hello Pumpkin, Cute Witches, Spooky Silhouettes, Halloween Gnomes and Autumn Sentiment Tags. 

For my cards today I used the 'Little Ghosts' stamp set again, I love these little ghosts as they're a lovely size -approx 2"-2½" high, and so easy to colour up. I decided to create a couple of Halloween party invites as they're really good for batch making. I used Prismacolor pencils and grey card designed for pastel pencils, to give them a little texture. I hope you like them.

I used the same process for both cards - I added grey grunge paper to the front of white 5" x 5" card blanks, leaving a slim border around the edge. Next the cute ghosts and a couple of sentiments were stamped onto grey card and die cut using a square die. The images were then coloured up using Prismacolor pencils, and finally mounted onto fancy edged black die cut squares. The completed toppers were glued to the front of the card blanks. Glossy accents was added to all the eyes on both cards to make them shine. 

To finish the cards, I added die cut black stars and a little glitter to the pumpkin and wand.

Lili Of The Valley - Little Ghosts

 Hi there everyone

I'm sharing more of my Lili Of The Valley cards using another of the new polymer stamps sets which have just launched in the LOTV Etsy store. The new sets include - Little Ghosts, Hello Pumpkin, Cute Witches, Spooky Silhouettes, Halloween Gnomes and Autumn Sentiment Tags. For my cards today I used the 'Little Ghosts' stamp set, which are really cute and so easy to colour up. To keep everything fresh looking I've kept the colours to 2 per card plus a little grey.  I hope you like them. 
 
For your information, here is the link to the LOTV Etsy Store to check out all the stampsand the LOTV online store to check out the rest of their goodies.

CARD #1



Here's What I Did & Used
The process was the same on both cards. I stamped the cute ghosts and a sentiment onto colouring cardstock at different angles. When everything was stamped, it was die cut with a rectangle die, and in some cases the ghosts had a little cropped off to add a little extra interest. The images were coloured using Copic pens using only 2 colourways on each card including a little grey. The scenes were then mounted onto a black die cut rectangle and then onto their respective colour mats - either purple or orange. 

The completed toppers were mounted onto 5" x 7" top fold black card blanks. Glossy accents was added to all the eyes on both cards to make them shine. To finish the cards, I added die cut stars and glitter to all the main focal points. 

Polymer Stamp Set: Little Ghosts

Copics Pens: Ghosts - C1, C2 / Accessories - YG01, YG03, YG17, E31, E35, C2, C3, C5, C7, Y15, Y17, YR07, YR15, YR16, V12, V15, V17

Other: Black 5" x 7" Card Blanks, Make It Colour Blending Card, Black, Orange, Purple, Green Card, Mats & Layers Die Set (Crafters Companion), Swirly Stars Die Set (Sizzix), Glossy Accents, Glitter, Double Sided Tape, Glue

CARD #1

Here's What I Did & Used
I stamped the cute witch and a sentiment onto colouring cardstock and die cut with a square die. The image was stamped again onto masking paper and fussy cut out, the mask was placed over the top of the witch and her moon. I added distressing inks all over the paper to create the sky (see the list below), then splash a little water over it. To add a little more interest I watered down some white and black chalk paint, then splashed a little over the sky area as well. I did add a few extra dots using a black and white pen. I repeated the inky process again to create a sheet of galaxy paper which I trimmed down add to the front of a black card blank, leaving a slim border around the edge.

Once everything was dry the paper mask was removed from the witch/moon, and it was coloured using Copic pens. The scene was then mounted onto a black die cut square and funky foam was glued to the back. The complete topper was glued to the card front. To finish the card, I added a few die cut stars and a little glitter to the wand.

CARD #2


Here's What I Did & Used
A piece of Halloween paper was trimmed down and add to the front of a black card blank, leaving a slim border around the edge. The witch, cauldron and a sentiment were stamped onto colouring cardstock and die cut it into a square. The images were stamped out again onto masking paper and fussy cut out, the masks were placed over the top of the images. Grey distress ink was applied around the square to create a moody atmosphere, then lots of dots using a black, orange and green pen were added over the top. 

Once the ink was dry the paper masks were removed, and everything was coloured using Copic pens. The scene was then mounted onto a black die cut square and funky foam was glued to the back.
