Hello friends. Here’s a cute slimline Halloween card featuring the Catherine Pooler Designs Halloween Mug Shots Stampset which came in the Boo Box released last month. This stampset is so stinking cute! I’m in love.

For this card, I cut a piece of Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ to 7 x 8-1/2″ and scored at 3-1/2″ to create a slimline card base, a piece of pattern paper from Catherine Pooler Designs Eerie-sistible 6 x 6 Paper (included in the Boo Box) cut to 3-1/2 x 8-1/2″, and another piece of Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ to 3 x 8″. I also cut another piece of pattern paper to 1 x 8″ for the front panel.

I stamped the images from the Catherine Pooler Designs Fright Night and Halloween Mug Shots Stampsets (included in the Boo Box) onto Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I used Copic Markers to color the images. I used C0, 0, Y06, Y17, YR04, & YR09 for the candy corn; C5, C7, YG25, Y06, V04 & V09 for the witch mug; YG17, YG25, YR04, YR09, E33, E25; C0, 0R20, YG17 & YG01 for the ghosts and ghost mug; V04, V06, V09, R20, YG25, YG17, Y17 & YR04 for the bat mug; V04, V06, V09, YG17, YG01 & YG25 for the bubbles; C0, 0, YG25, V22, V25, E25, E33 for the foam with broom; and C0, 0 & YG25 for the foam with straw.

I added some stars die cut from white card stock using the CP Haunted Tags & Charms Die Set (included in the Boo Box) which I colored with Melon Ice Ink.

I stamped the sentiment from Catherine Pooler Designs Halloween Mug Shots Stampset (included in the Boo Box) with CP Midnight Ink and fussycut it. I popped up some of the images and the sentiment using some 3M Foam Tape.

On the inside of the card, I stamped from the CP Boo Day Stampset (included in the Boo Box) with Orange Twist Ink and added a black cat from the Fright Night Stampset.

Fall Card Series #6: It’s All About the Fancy Folds!

kittieslovecrafting

Hello friends. This post is all about adding fancy folds to your cards. I used different shaped dies and papers as well as a variety of stamps to create different themes. These were inspired by Catherine Pooler’s video on fancy folds over on Stampnation. Check it out here>>.

For the first card, I cut a piece of Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ to 5-1/2 x 8-1/2″ and scored at 4-1/4″ to create a card base and then I scored the front of the card at 2-1/8″. At this point you need to decide what shape you wll be die cutting out and which side you will be folding your panel. You will see that on my second and third cards the folds are in the opposite direction.

I chose a scallop square die from the Sizzix Framelits Squares Scallop Die Set. The way to achieve the flip window is to only die cut one half of the panel. To do this you just need to align your cutting plates along the score line covering only the side you will cut out.

I cut 2 pieces of pattern paper from the Catherine Pooler Sunflower Fields Forever Patterned Paper to 2-1/8 x 5-1/2″ and one to 4-1/4 x 5-1/2″. I also die cut 2 scallop squares from the same paper. Then die cut a stitched square from Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ using the Lawn Fawn Dies – Small Stitched Square Stackables, a scallop square measuring 2 x 2″ and another measuring 3-3/8 x 3-3/8″.

I stamped images from the Catherine Pooler Bless this House Stamp Set onto Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with CP Green Tea, Polished, Over Coffee, Buttercream, Sauna, Orange Peel, and Spiced inks.

Then stamped the sentiment onto the white scallop piece from the Catherine Pooler Bless this House Stamp Set with Spiced ink.

On the inside of the card I adhered the larger scallop square (3-3/8 x 3-3/8″) and added a pumpkin.

For the second card, I cut a piece of Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ to 5-1/2 x 8-1/2″ and scored at 4-1/4″ to create a card base and then I scored the front of the card at 2-1/8″.

For this card, I chose a heart die from the Stampin’ Up! Sweet and Sassy Die Set (retired). Same step as before for cutting the flip window.

Next, I cut 3 pieces of pattern paper from the Catherine Pooler Bushel and a Peck 6 x 6 Patterned Paper to 2-1/8 x 5-1/2″ and one to 4-1/4 x 5-1/2″. I also die cut 2 hearts (of the same size) from the same paper. Then die cut a smaller heart from Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ using the same dies. I stamped the sentiment from Catherine Pooler’s Appley Ever After Stamp Set onto it with Midnight ink.

I stamped images from the Catherine Pooler’s Appley Ever After Stamp Set onto Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with CP It’s A Girl, Samba, Wintergreen, Deck the Halls, Sauna, and Spiced inks. I die cut the apple basket from Stampin’ Up! Soft Suede 8-1/2 x 11″ Cardstock (retired) with the Catherine Pooler Bushel Basket Die and inked it with Stampin’ Up! Soft Suede ink (retired).

On the inside of the card I die cut a frame from Tim Holtz Idea-ology 8 x 8 METALLIC JEWELS Kraft Stock with the Catherine Pooler Fall Frames dies. I also die cut another frame from Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ and used the negative piece.

For the third card, I cut a piece of Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ to 5-1/2 x 8-1/2″ and scored at 4-1/4″ to create a card base and then I scored the front of the card at 2-1/8″.

For this card, I chose a pumpkin die from the Sizzix Pumpkin Framelits (no longer available). Follow the same steps as in the previous two cards for cutting the flip window.

Next, I cut 3 pieces of pattern paper from the Honey Bee Stamps Halloween Harvest 6 x 6 Patterned Paper (discontinued) to 2 x 5-1/4″ and one to 4 x 5-1/4. I also die cut 2 pumpkins (of the same size) from the same paper. Then die cut a smaller pumpkin from Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ using the same dies. I inked it with Tim Holtz Spiced Marmalade, Carved Pumpkin, and Peeled Paint Distress Inks. I stamped a Jack-O-Lantern face from the Papertrey Ink Pumpkin Expressions Mini Stamp Set with Midnight Ink. I also added splatters to it and the right side of the card front with Black Acrylic Paint and stamped bats from the Lawn Fawn Happy Haunting stampset.

I stamped 3 ghosts and more bats from the Lawn Fawn Happy Haunting and the sentiment from the Papertrey Ink Pumpkin Expressions Mini Stamp Sets onto Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with Midnight Ink.

On the inside of the card I die cut a spider from Simon Says Stamp 100# BLACK Cardstock with the We R Memory Keepers 2-inch Spider die and the sentiment from some Honey Bee Stamps Halloween Harvest 6 x 6 Patterned Paper (discontinued) using the Pretty Pink Posh Happy Halloween Script Die.
