Mimi joins us today with an amazing design for Halloween! She combined Build-A-Cauldron with Book Collection to create a “spell-cial” card!


Mimi’s spooky scene features some fun and clever details along with the new Build-A-Cauldron and Book Collection! She started with Stitched Windy Backdrop cut from black canvas textured cardstock. She added some blended white pigment ink to add to the texture. You could use Lawn Fawn Yeti ink or Distress Oxide ink Picket Fence. Then she cut a piece of gray canvas cardstock for the ground. And finished the background by adding vellum Cute Cobwebs to the upper corners.

And then she prepped the Book Collection, cutting the books from white cardstock. She colored them with Copic markers and stamped spooky book titles from Purrfectly Wicked.


To create the bubbling potion in the cauldron, Mimi started with Pixie Dust Sparkle cardstock. She inked it with Twisted Citron Distress Oxide ink, so perfect for a spooky potion. Then she tucked in some of the bats and eye of newt from Tiny Halloween. Mimi used the stitched rectangle found in the Magic Picture Changer Oven Add-On as the shelf/sentiment strip. So clever!

She created the jars using the paint jar from Art Supplies, coloring the lids to match the books. Then she used the tab die from Magic Iris Camera Pull-Tab Add-On to make a window. She backed the jars with another solid piece and added acetate to the window piece. Then she filled the labeled jars with eye of newt and bat wings. To create “frog breath” she used the coordinating die for the sparkle from Tiny Fairy Tale, cutting it from vellum. Then Mimi used additional stamps from Purrfectly Wicked to label the jars.

I love this clever card so much, Mimi! Thank you for the spooky inspiration!
