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, M i mi! Thank you for the spooky inspiration!

Catherine’s Cute Donut Inspired Give It a Whirl!

Catherine‘s creative box of donuts card is so clever! She made it interactive by adding a cute Give It a Whirl “donut”!

This square card design starts with Large Stitched Square Stackables to cut the “donut box” top. Catherine chose the pretty striped paper from Rainbow Ever After 6×6 pack, adding acetate to the box “window”.

She used Give It a Whirl and Give It a Whirl Scalloped Add-On to make a giant donut! And then she created a stencil for the icing with the Art Supplies paint splatter. She also added details by starting the sentiment on a Hearts and Stars Skinny Tag.

Open the box of donuts to find Donut Worry donuts stamped in the background in Jellyfish ink. Now you can “give it a whirl” and see a fun picture emerge!

The Give It a Whirl reveals the cutest little scene inside! Catherine inked the background with Brick Stencil for some texture. Then she arranged a donut from Sweet Friends with mice from A Creature was Stirring and Virtual Friends Add-On. The jar of sprinkles is from Sprinkled with Joy and the sentiment is also from Sweet Friends!

Thank you so much for sharing this brilliant card with us, Catherine! I love it so much!

“Love You with All My Art”: Art Supplies Valentines with Grace

Grace joins us today to share a beautiful set of Valentine cards featuring Art Supplies!

This card set is as beautiful as it is clever and creative! Grace used the fun Art Supplies Lawn Cuts set so brilliantly!

For this card Grace started with a Scalloped Rectangle panel. Then she used a heart from Scalloped Slimline with Hearts: Portrait as a stencil to add three pink hearts. She used the hearts to anchor the sweet art supplies groupings, then she added the Henry’s ABCs letters to spell out “art”. For the rest of the sentiment, she used Let’s Toast.

For the water jar, Grace colored the water line with Copic markers on the back side of the vellum jar piece. Then she used a thin line of glue to attach another jar piece cut from white cardstock colored the same way. The top is left open to slip the paint brush between the pieces.

For this design, Grace assembled the Art Supplies on a heart layered on a Lacy Heart. This time she used the sentiment from Let’s Toast, but she altered the word “tart” to say “art”. She used holographic cardstock for the paint tubes, adding the little hearts from Heart Shaker Gift Tag.

For the glitter jar Grace sandwiched Sparkle Glaze and Prisma glitter between the Copic colored cardstock jar and an acetate jar. She used a very fine line of glue tube around the perimeter to glue these pieces together.

Your cards are absolutely adorable, Grace! Thank you so much for inspiring us today!
