Kooky Minion Halloween Card

Boo!  Toni here with you today sharing a really cute and rather kooky Halloween card featuring Dave Jumping.

My idea was to use Dave Jumping as hanging from a Witch's Broom zipping around in the night sky.  

I masked a circle on the card front and used my Copic Airbrush to color the background in shades of patchy blue as though there's a bit of cloud cover.  I spattered alcohol to create the large drops then Copic Opaque White for stars.

Using Copics I colored up the images as well as added a few craters to the moon which I sponged lightly in yellow along the edges.

Finally I stamped the Harry P 1 and embossed it in white. How perfect is that sentiment for pretty much any Minion card, right?

Bright & Spooky Minion Halloween

Hello, my friends!  Toni here with you today sharing a bright and spooky Minion Halloween card.

My first step was sponging the background using Catherine Pooler inks.  I applied a spiderweb stencil on top of that then spattered the lot with water.

Next I colored up the Tombstone Lg and Ghost Minion using Copics.  Notice how I aged the gravestone by spritzing a paper towel with alcohol and pressing it against the colored image--it lifts the color away in random ways.

To complete the scene, I stamped the Tree Wide Bare on the background then diecut a spooky fence and grass.

Halloween Gravestone Cupcake Toppers

 Hello, my friends!  Toni here with you today sharing cupcake toppers for a Halloween gathering.  

I started this project by sponging scrap cardstock panels in a variety of Distress Oxides in Halloween (or least adjacent) colors: Mustard Seed, Carved Pumpkin, Lumberjack Plaid, Seedless Preserves, Twisted Citron, Peacock Feathers, Uncharted Mariner.  I spattered water then gave the panels a quick dry with my heat gun.

Next I cut out the panels using a gravestone die from my stash then stamped and embossed the Tombstone Lg and Tombstone Set 2 in Ranger White Detail Fine Embossing Powder. 

I added a bit of Distress Ink Black Soot along the edges after this to give them a bit more dramatic flair. Now they're ready to top some cupcakes. Or you could create a sheet cake graveyard with them.  Sprinkle some Oreo "dirt" on there too.  How very fun!

I put the Vampire Carl on a piece of gray scalloped paper so he looks like he is coming out of the sky and attached that in the upper left corner. Love Bites is stamped in the very left corner. I drew some fangs and cut them out to add a little more bite to the card!

Minions Halloween Fun-Fold & Snarky Christmas Cards

 Hello, my friends!  Toni here with you today sharing a couple of cards using Minion characters from the new red rubber release. Let me show you but first take a look at all the cuteness!

My first project is a fun-fold Halloween card. I started my card by creating an easel very simply using an A2 card base where I scored the front at the halfway point, 2-1/8", in this case, and folded it into a mountain.    

 In order for the easel to stay upright, you need to add a little berm on the interior of the card that the front can rest against.  I used a piece of designer paper along with a strip of black glitter washi I had adhered to a piece of black cardstock to give it a bit more height.  I embossed the Don't Scare Me sentiment in white and added a couple of spider enamel dots.

Next I stamped and masked the minions, from left to right: Dave Jumping with Minion 1 bunny ears, Mummy Stuart, Bride Kevin, Ghost Minion, Franken Bob, and Count Phil on a piece of Bristol and watercolored them with Zig Real Brush Markers.  I adhered this panel to only the bottom half of the card base folded panel so that when you mail it, it's completely flat.

As for the speech bubbles, I printed those on my laser printer with Aptos size 9 font, printed with white text on a black fill. They add a bit of extra fun.

For the Christmas card, I stamped Reindeer Stuart using Memento Tuxedo Black and masked the left antler before stamping Blowing Snowflakes.  I colored him up with Copics then added a snowy hill and the hilarious Winter Lovers sentiment balanced out by Snowflake Trio.

Trick or Treat! A head start on Halloween card

 Hello and welcome!  This is Shanna today with a fun HALLOWEEN card featuring stamps from Crackerbox Stamps!  Is anyone else ready for Fall to hurry up and get here?  This California girl is ready to be d-o-n-e with the heat!  Halloween crafting is one of my favorites, so I pulled out my favorite Halloween kid stamps and had some masking fun for today's card!

Today's card features the following stamps:
Kid Dracula
Kid Mummy
Kid Frankenstein
Kid Witchy
Kid Vamp
Happy Halloween

I started off with my card by stamping my trick-or-treating gang using the masking technique.  To somewhat explain, you start my stamping the image you want to be "in front" of the others, and then cover it with a mask--a fussy cut removable adhesive copy--and then stamp the next images and repeat!  I have had this card in my head for a long time and was excited to see it come to life on paper!

While my masks were still applied over the images, I ink-blended my ground and sky by using masking tape to create a line to blend below and then moving it so I could blend above.  A cheap way to keep a crisp horizon line with ink blending!

After my ink blending, I removed the masks and then got to coloring with my Copics!  I love coloring, so this was right up my alley!

The card was finished by stamping the Happy Halloween sentiment onto my ground layer.

Thanks so much for stopping by!  I will see you all again soon with another Crackerbox Stamps, inspired project!  ~Shanna
