Hocus Pocus Card by Florence

Morning everyone


Today I am using the new Hocus Pocus stamp set. 

Although these are Halloween stamps they can easily be used for other occasions.

I would like to share with you an idea for a little persons birthday card.

This would also work as child's party invitation just by changing the sentiment.

 

 Please click on the image enlarge.

To make this card

Stamp the creature onto a piece of white card, color the image and cut it out.
Stamp just the tail onto a piece of white card and cut it out but include an extra piece at the one end of the tail for attaching purposes.
Die cut or cut out by hand the number.
Stamp a pattern onto the number and add a little Distress Ink to the edges
Glue the tail onto the back of the number so that just the front of tail shows.
Stamp and emboss the sentiment onto a piece of pretty paper or card.
Mat and layer the card.
Attach the number (with the tail attached) using foam pads.
Attach the creature also using foam pads.

Do check out all of the amazing creations from the team.

Summer Fairies (by Asha)

Good morning, everyone. Let's kick start the lovely warm months ahead with a couple of magical makes using the Summer Fairies Collection - the last in Chocolate Baroque's trio of enchanting seasonal stamps.  

**********

The main image for this project is from the August Fairy DL stamp sheet, coloured with alcohol markers. I popped a sunflower on some foam tape to tuck in the card edge. The fairy's wings are heat embossed in silver onto vellum and adhered to her shoulder.

This is a trifold card. The sunflowers are from the June Fairy and July Fairy sheets. The fern fronds are from the August Fairy sheet, as is the silhouette which is heat embossed in black.

**********

For my second card, I started by blending distress inks to create a background reminiscent of breaking dawn. All stamps for this card are from the June Fairy sheet, except for the grassy bits which is from the Wild Meadow A4 sheet.

I added some sparkle to the fairy's wings and fussy cut the butterfly before adhering it to the card.

Don't forget to swing by again for more fabulous makes by the rest of the Design Team. Here's to a magical summer, folks!

Beijinhos!

Lovely Baroque Eggs (by Clare)

This stamp and the others in this set are so gorgeous!  I'd like to share an eggy card I made using one of the largest eggs.  It was very easy to make, but looks like it took hours!

I textured the front panel of my 4 1/2" x 5 3/4" card with an embossing folder.  I chose this one, because it resembled the pattern of diamonds in the egg itself.  Stamping the egg came next, on white cardstock in SU's craft ink then heat embossing with white powder.  Cut out.  I used a sponge dauber on SU's classic inkpads in a pink, yellow, blue, lavender and green to shade in the egg.  Before mounting to the front, I applied Scor-tape around the outside edge of the egg on the back, so I could apply the lace edging.  I used pop dots to "raise" the egg up. 

The white embossing powder left a very pretty sheen on the cardstock,
which the colors accentuated perfectly!  This set of stamps will be one that I will
definitely use over and over and over again!   

I stamped "Happy Easter" on white cardstock, then cut out using a die.  Using another die, I cut the yellow tag and intertwined the edges.  This caused the yellow one to bend up, giving it dimension.  I used two of the "negative" pieces from the diecut tag as upper corner embellies.  The edge was punched, and the finishing touches of flowers and pearls completed this pretty card.  Now, who to give it to?
