Critter Costume fun for Halloween!

Hey Crafty Friends. I’m super excited to bring you my first blog post today for Heffy Doodle, as we’re heading into the spooky season I thought it was the perfect time to bring out the adorable Costume Critters to bring you some Halloween inspiration.

To get started on this card you will need two pieces of white card stock cut to 5.5″x 4.25″. Ink up one of these pieces for your background, I am using Distress Inks with blending brushes. On your other piece of card die cut from Freshly Cut Grass Dies, you will be able to get 2 cut from this panel. I’ve used some of the green inks to splatter onto my project plus Copic Bright White.


Set these to the side to dry and stamp some images from the Costume Critters set on alcohol marker friendly card. I’ve used Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copic Markers. Die cut your images with coordinating dies, I’ve run them through the Heffy Doodle Mini Die Cutting Machine

.

We’re going to need some additional supplies to put our card together. Die cut some elements from Elm Street Dies using Oreo Crunch and Banana Split card stock. I’ve also cut my own card base from Kiwi Crush, this measures at 11″ x 4.25″ scored at 5.5″ and to finish up cut the frame part of the die from the Fright Night Paper Pack


Before you stick down all the elements stamp a sentiment directly onto your card background. I’ve used double side tape to adhere my background and grass to the card base followed by adhesive glue in the form of the adorable Glubert to attach the rest of my images to my scene.

Last but not least finish up with the Fright Night Enamel Dots. I hope you have enjoyed today’s Halloween inspiration, as the spooky season approaches I can’t wait to see what you all come up with whether that be cards, scrapbook layouts, or even home decor!


Until next time, happy crafting!

Hey Crafty Friends, It's a new month so that means the start of a new challenge over on the Colour it, Create it, Show it off challenge blog, as always our challenge is anything goes, that's any image, any project. Why not grab you favourite set and join us  here. If you would like to treat yourself to a new image you can find all the MyBesties images  here. This will be a shorter post again today, it's a very simple card. I coloured the image in Spectrum Noir alcohol markers and fussy cut around her. Taking a card blank and used Kitsch flamingo distress ink to bring down some colour to about a quarter down the panel and fade out into the white to give a very soft look and feel. Using some trees branches, flowers and leaves from a couple sets in my stash and a birthday sentiment to top this off and bring it all together.  I cant wait to see what you come up with for the challenge! This card was sent to a fellow crafter on Instagram in a birthday swap, it gave me joy to have

Swan Galaxy - Interactive card!

Image
Hey Crafty Friends, Welcome back, I'm sharing my usual design team post for Crafty Purple Frog a few days early because I am so impatient and love this card so much that I wanted to share with you all at the earliest opportunity!  Today's card is very fitting, I usually make a card with someone in mind or themed around something I've seen. My idea for this came as soon as I saw the set 'Spread your wings' This beautiful swan has big regal wings that meant it deserved the opportunity to fly! To start up I took a scalloped slimline frame die and inked up a galaxy type background, now the thing to remember with creating a galaxy background is it might look like a hot mess to start with! A galaxy background can use any colours you feel are fitting, I'm using Wilted Violet, Mermaid Lagoon and Candied Apple. You can put some greens and pinks in too if you would like.  Take a blending tool, I'm using a blending brush and bring in random sections of colour using you
