Magic and Bright Minion Christmas Card

Hello crafty friends! Ericka here and I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Today I have a fun Christmas card I made using Bob the Minion with and fun Santa Hat. 

 

I started by stamping Bob and masking the top to add the Santa's Hat stamp. I colored it all up with some watercolor markers and then added the Snowflakes and heat-embossed the with a Turquoise powder for some fun sparkle. I then added some light shading around the card with Distress Oxide ink Salvage Patina and for some added fun, I used Liquitex Glass Beads as snow on the bottom of my card.

I then decided I wanted to make Bob a little more fun and stamped him and the hat on a separate piece of paper. After coloring them up, I added them to my card using an action wobble so he became more interactive.

I finished my card by adding the Magic and Bright sentiment and used some clear sparkle to heat emboss the image. I love this Santa Hat and can't wait to use it on some more of my minions to make fun Christmas cards. Thank you for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful week!

Thanks A Minion Card

Minion Christmas Slimline Card

 Hey, everyone! Nadine here today with a festive Minion Christmas slimline card.

I first stamped the Minion Carl Being Happy Stamp and masked off the top of his head when inking but left his hand out so it still stamped out. I then stamped Carl on some masking paper fussy cut it out and stuck it to the stamped image. Next, I stamped the Santa's Hat over the masked Carl. I love the Santa's Hat because you can take almost any of the stamp characters and make it Christmasy.

Then I fussy cut the stamped image out and colored it with Copic Markers. Added some Glossy Accents to the goggles and Snow-Tex to the white of the hat.

I then stamped some of the ornaments from Grinch Hand Set of 5 and fussy cut them out and colored them with Copics and added glossy accents.

On the background of the card, I used a large tree die and airbrushed it with different color Copic markers. and splattered it with metallic gold, red and white paints. Then on the top of the card, I stamped the sentiment 'tis the Season.

I hope I inspired you to give it a try.

Monster Fingers and Popcorn Halloween Riddle Cards

Hello Happy Crafter,

Vicky here today. How about a couple of Halloween riddles?

These sayings can be easily separated so the last half can be put inside the card.

I have used the popcorn riddle with the package of microwave popcorn.

I think this riddle is hilarious!

I used this saying, Monster Fingers wrapped around a package of Microwave popcorn.

Count Phil, sure is fun.

The Popcorn Kernel is fun to use with this card and with our other popcorn images and sayings.

What's in your horrorscope?

The Horrorscope saying has space so it's easy to separate.

The Witch with Crystal Ball can see many things.

Bats Flying By adds to the spooky look.

There are Web Corner Right and Web Corner Left in the background.

I added the Skull with Missing Teeth was added to the crystal ball.

Thanks for taking a look!

Hope your Halloween is spooky, scary, and safe.
