Samantha has some fabulous Halloween inspiration for you today! Her Sweet Spiders card features an amazing alcohol inked background! You can watch the video tutorial below or click HERE to watch at our YouTube channel.
Thanks so much for watching!
Samantha got really creative, using acetate for the base of this card! It looks great white embossed with the Sweet Spiders spiderwebs! She stamped then colored all the cute Sweet Spiders and Sweet Spiders Add-On images with Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers.
To create the background, she used Ranger alcohol ink in Wild Plum, Sunshine Yellow, Pink Sherbet and Pitch Black, along with alcohol ink paper and alcohol ink solution. It makes the perfect eerie backdrop for a Halloween card!
Thank you so much for sharing this super cool design, Samantha!

First up we have a recap of the recent Adventures in Cardmaking Live with Jenn and Chari! As a result of the polling on Instagram, this time the theme was Fall/Autumn, focus on stamped images and use of twine. We love that so many of you joined the fun live and lots of you have also caught the replay too. If you haven’t watched this fun crafty cardmaking session yet, click HERE! Or go to the Adventures in Cardmaking Live playlist to catch up on all the crafty fun!
Chari’s Autumn themed card featured stamped images from You Crow Girl and Happy Harvest. She did some fun background stamping in Apricot ink to create a subtle tone on tone to match the kraft card base. I love that she built the little scene on a Falling Leaves stitched heart framed with a Lacy Heart!
Chari tucked her Scripty Autumn Sentiments greeting in a pretty border of sunflowers. Then she used the Turquoise Hemp Twine in a clever way, adding a bow to the “crow girl’s” dress.
Here’s Jenn handy Copic coloring chart for the acorns, mice and wagon!

This background is so cool! Chari stenciled with the Spiderweb Background Stencils using Lawn Fawn inks in Apricot, Peachy Keen and Guava. Then she stamped the Sweet Spiders images in River Rock ink to color in a soft pastel color palette.

Our sweet Fawnie, Ivy is back with more whimsical inspiration for you! She created a trio of shaped coffee cup cards and a clever shadow box scene in a Gift Box!
Fall and sunflowers is the theme of this set of shaped Coffee Cup Gift Card Holder cards! To see how to make a top-folding coffee cup shaped card check out Joy’s recent video tutorial HERE.
This super cute and clever scene is a shadow box created using the Gift Box die set and white woodgrain cardstock! Ivy assembled the box with the corner tabs on the outside, so they don’t show on the inside of the box frame. She cut a window and layered a cloudy stenciled panel behind before creating the windowpane simply by adding strips of 1/8″ double-sided tape.
