Hello friends. Hereโs a quick Halloween shaker card featuring Simply Made Crafts Happy Haunting collection products. In case you are not familiar with this company, it is the creation of Helen Griffin from the UK. Go check out her blog. She has lots of cool dies and stamps.
I glued those two pieces of pattern paper together and die cut a window using the largest tombstone in the Simply Made Crafts Happy Haunting Spell Book ElementsDie Set. I backed it with a piece of acetate scut to a litlle bit smaller than 4 x 5-1/4. Then added foam tape to the back. I used a variety of green, purple, black and orange sequins from my stash. And backed it with a piece of Doodlebug Happy Haunting 12 x 12 Petite Print Paper (discontinued).

Hello friends. Here’s a fun way to stretch your stamps to create a background — use those tiny images included in your stampsets! This card features the Catherine Pooler Designs Fright Night and Halloween Mug Shots Stampsets which came in the Boo Box released last month. I love how this card turned out!
I die cut two tags from the CP Haunted Tags & Charms die set (included in the Boo Box) from Catherine Pooler Designs Eerie-sistible 6 x 6 Paper (included in the Boo Box) and Lawn Fawn Black Licorice 8-1/2 x 11″ Cardstock and added some Doodlebug Beetle Black Doodle Twine. The bats, spider and the spiderweb are from the same tag die set. I cut the bats from both white and black cardstock and used Pixie Dust Ink to color them.
I stamped the sentiment from Catherine Pooler Designs Fright Night Stampset (included in the Boo Box) with CP Midnight Ink and fussycut it.
On the inside of the card, I cut a piece of Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ to 4 x 5-1/4″ as well as a piece of Catherine Pooler Designs Eerie-sistible 6 x 6 Paper (included in the Boo Box) cut to 1 x 5-1/4″. I stamped the sentiment from the Catherine Pooler Designs Boo Day Stampset (included in the Boo Box) with CP Midnight Ink and added a spiderweb die cut from white cardstock snd colored with Pixie Dust Ink.

Hello friends. Here are some easy watercolor cards anyone can make! While I am an artist I am not super comfortable doing freehand watercolor paintings. But these 3 cards were very easy to make. If you cannot draw either use a stencil, die or printable to trace a simple drawing. I used this technique for one of my cards. More on this later…
I did a quick sketch for the egg (I actually used an egg shaped framelit die to trace the outside). I used my Kuretake GANSAI TAMBI Watercolor Paint Set (I love this set!) to color the egg. I kept the coloring simple – one color and white. You can be as elaborate with your painting as you like though. Once the egg and grass were colored and dry, I added some splatters with some Zig Kuretake Gansai Tambi STARRY COLORS. Then I added some sketchy lines around the egg with a 0.5 Sakura Pigma Micron Fineliner Pen.
While I do not have a picture of the sketch to show you, I just drew very basic shapes for the balloons. They don’t have to be perfect. If you feel like you cannot draw them, get an image from the internet etc and trace it or use stencils or dies. Again very simple painting here. This time I used one color plus a White Gold watercolor from the Zig Kuretake Gansai Tambi STARRY COLORS.
The sketch for this card was super simple. I drew 3 hearts and a stem. I used my Kuretake GANSAI TAMBI Watercolor Paint Set again. And finished the background by adding some splatters with White and Gold Acrylic paint.

The Limited Edition Simon Says Stamp EASTER JOY 2022 Card Kit is full of tons of goodies to make cute Easter cards as well as for other occasions. I will be posting some Mother’s Day cards using some items from the kit in April. Stay tuned for that! While the kit is now sold out, you can buy most of the items in the kit seperately. The list below has all the links.
For the fifth card, I decided to do two versions of this just to see the different results I would achieve using acetate versus vellum with Copic Markers.
For the acetate piece, I used YG25 + G09 for the greenery; BV08 + V17 and RV19 + RV55 for the tulips; BG02 + BG05, YR04 + YR09 and Y17 for the flowers; BG02 + BG05 and RV19, BV08 + V17 and Y17 for the eggs.
For the vellum piece, I used YG25 + YG67 for the greenery; R32+ R37 for the tulips; BG02 + BG15, Y13 + Y18, BG01 + BG02 for the flowers; Y13 + Y18, R32+ R37, YR14 + YR16, BG01 + BG02 for the eggs.

Hi everyone. This card kit just makes me happy. It’s all about rainbows and what’s not to like about that?!? The Simon Says Stamp Rainbow Is My Favorite Color 6×8 inch clear stamp set has a ton of rainbow images and cute sentiments to go along with them. Lots of options with this one. You can also use the straight stripe in non rainbow cards or make no traditional rainbows. I was definitely inspired my several of the design team cards I’ve been seeing posted on instagram @ #sssck.
For the second card, I started by cutting a piece of Neenah 110lb Solar White 8.5 x 11″ Cardstock to 7 x 8-1/2″ and scored at 3-1/2″ to make a card base. Then cut another piece to 3-1/4 x 8-1/4″.
For the third card, I started by cutting a piece of Neenah 110lb Solar White 8.5 x 11″ Cardstock to 7 x 8-1/2″ and scored at 3-1/2″ to make a card base. Then cut another piece to 3-1/4 x 8-1/4″.
I adhered the pattern paper to the card and used 3M Foam Tape to adhere the rainbows and clouds to the card. I stamped the three hearts from the stamp set with Hot Lips Ink and added Glossy Accents over them.
On the inside of the card I cut a piece of the same pattern paper as the front of the card to 1-1/4 x 3-1/2″.
