All the Spooks with Gemma

Posted by Gemma Campbell | Sep 27, 2024 | Uncategorized

Today I’m sharing a card using products from the 2024 Halloween Card Kit, which all work so well together. I stamped out images from three of the stamp sets in the kit – All the Spooks, Who Wants Candy, Fright Mice, coloured them with copic markers and die cut with the coordinating dies. I created a small scene on my card, using some Hello Bluebird essential dies – Grassy Knoll, Starry Sky, and Nesting Circle. To give some depth to the scene, I used foam tape to pop up the panel on my card base. I then added the...

Happy Purrthday with Gemma

The Nine Lives stamp set has to be one of my all time favourites from Hello Bluebird. I love the variety of different cats in the set. I picked the playful cat with the fish for my card today. I coloured him with copic markers and die cut with the coordinating die. I also added two die cut layers behind for dimension. To create a background on my mini slimline card base, I made my own card using a Grassy Knoll die. I then blended over it with mowed lawn distress oxide ink. To keep the CAS look, I...
