Hello Friends! Katy here with another quick project. In today’s video I create a simple Halloween card. I had some printed spooky printed acetate in my stash and paired it with a brick stencil and some Brilliance Moonlight White ink. I just love this white ink more than any others and so I like to showcase it any time I can.
Hello crafty friends! I’s Ceal, here. Today I am sharing a tutorial on how to make this acorn gift box.
Skill: Intermediate to Advanced Time: 45 Minutes
Directions:
Gather your supplies. For this project you will need the Fall Favors Box die set and the coordinating stamp set. A dark brown ink (VersaFine Clair used here), Kraft and other colors of cardstock.
Step 1: Out of kraft cardstock, cut six pieces each of the small (top) and large (bottom) of the acorn, along with the top and bottom hexagon pieces. Cut the stem out of a dark brown cardstock and the leaves out of your color of choice.
Step 2: Line up the stamp that adds the detail to the acorn top and then stamp all six pieces with a dark brown ink, VersaFine Clair Pinecone used here.
Step 3: Crease all of the score line on all the die cut pieces. Do not use a bone folder, just simply crease them on the score lines.
Step 4: Align the large (bottom) pieces of the acorn on the hexagon as shown. Tip: I used liquid glue to allow me to move them as needed.
Step 5: Align the small (top) pieces of the acorn on the hexagon with the square hole in it.
Step 6: Fold the stem piece on the score lines and add h=glue to create the stem and then thread it through the square hole on the top. After threading it through the hole, fold back the tabs and glue down as shown.
Finish the project by adding the leaves and some twine.
I’ve been really enjoying Halloween cards lately and it was so fun to use a bunch of sprays to make this one.
Skill: Intermediate Time: 1.5 hours
Directions:
Step 1: Die cut all of the pieces for the die cut pumpkin out of watercolor paper and then spray the two bottom pieces with Rich Cocoa Fireworks! Craft Spray (bottom-most layer) and Tangelo! Craft Spray (second-largest layer) and let dry.
Step 2: Spray the other three die cut pieces: Dandelion Fireworks! Craft Spray on the middle die cut, Gold Sheer Shimmer Craft Spray on the upper part of the pumpkin’s body, and Bamboo Leaves Fireworks! Craft Spray for the pumpkin stem. Allow all the layers to dry.
Step 3: Glue the layers of the pumpkin together and then ink blend the edges of the pumpkin with Nocturne VersaFine Clair ink and a sponge dauber.
Step 4: Ink blend the pumpkin stem die cut with Nocturne VersaFine Clair ink and a sponge dauber.
Step 5: Spray the whole pumpkin die cut with more Gold Sheer Shimmer Craft Spray and set aside to dry.
Step 6: Spray the Dandelion and Tangelo Fireworks! Craft Spray onto a piece of acetate packaging and use it to watercolor smoosh a panel of watercolor paper. After the spray dries, die cut it with an A2-sized die cut.
Step 7: Splatter Rich Cocoa Fireworks! Craft Spray onto the background panel with the stick from the bottle’s spray nozzle. Then use a Nocturne VersaFine Clair ink to partially stamp the panel as well as ink blend the edges. Heat emboss the cobwebs and ink blended edges with clear embossing powder
Step 8: Press the Nocturne VersaFine Clair ink pad onto a small piece of watercolor paper to color it black.
Step 9: Die cut the now black piece of watercolor paper to create the sentiment and spray it with Gold Sheer Shimmer Craft Spray.
Step 10: Die cut a piece of vellum with the sentiment’s shadow and glue both layers together.
Step 11: Assemble the card. Glue the pumpkin’s stem and the rest of the pumpkin together and glue it approximately in the center of the panel. Glue the sentiment on the right side of the pumpkin. Then add orange and yellow sequins onto the card. To finish the card, glue the whole card panel onto an orange A2-sized card base.
