Happy Halloween

October 26, 2023

Hello everyone! My (Sylvia’s) turn on the blog again. At the moment I am enjoying a vacation in Mexico, where we hope to celebrate el Día de los Muertos with big parades and people all dressed up. It’s like a kind of Halloween, although it is not nearly the same celebration. If you are not able to be with your kids/grandkids during Halloween, let’s make them a card to wish them a Happy Halloween. Let’s get started!

step 1: Cut a piece of white cardstock of 15 x 21 cm (A5)/(6 x 8 inch) and fold it in half to create a landscaped card. Using a splatterbox, spray the front panel of your card with distress oxide in twisted citron and splatter with some black ink as well.

step 2: die cut the caterpillar in purple and lilac cardstock, die cut the hat, cauldron, poison, spoon, bat and skull from set 1707 Halloween accessories. Die cut the spoon twice (1x in black, 1 x green to match the poison). Assemble the caterpillar, cut a slit into the hat and slide the head of the caterpillar in. Glue the antennas on the hat. I slightly offset the face to give it a little bit more interest and I drew brows and lashes on the face as well. Hand cut an oval from the inside of the green spoon as if it is a scoop from the poison and glue the oval to the black spoon.

step 3: arrange all elements on your card, try if the caterpillar fits before glueing it down, so that you can adjust the body if necessary. Diecut the smallest banner from set 1329 in design paper, and the second smallest in bright orange card. Stamp the Happy Halloween sentiment from set CS 329 on the design paper banner and glue them on top of each other, on the top left side of the card. Finish the card off with some diecut bats and/or spiders.

Happy Halloween and happy crafting!
Love
Sylvia

Christmas Tag Card

October 23, 2023

Hello crafty friends, it’s Summer Hills-Painter here. For today’s blog post, I am getting started on my Christmas cards so that I am not making tons of them at the last minute.

Preparation: 

Cut and assemble the Sweater Season die set. Using the largest tag from the Nested Tags die set, cut a piece of green patterned cardstock. For mine, I used the new Holly Jolly Christmas paper pack. Cut the second largest rectangle from the Indented Stitched Rectangles die from red cardstock. Fold an 8 1/2″ piece of cardstock in half. Cut a the second largest rectangle from patterned cardstock using the indented Rectangle die set. Cut the words “HOHOHO” from Sidekick Essentials 24 die set out of red cardstock. Also cut the tag reinforcer from the same red cardstock

Instructions

Using the largest tag from the Nested Tags die set. Line the tag up with the edge of the cardstock fold and tape into place. Cut the tag using your die cutting machine. This will serve as your card based.

Adhere the green patterned tag to the tag card base. I inked the edges with Mowed Lawn Distress Ink so that no white edges were being shown.

Adhere the red indented rectangle to the card base and top with the brown patterned cardstock.

Adhere the sweater, HOHOHO, and reinforcer to the tag card and the project is complete.

Forever Friends

October 2, 2023

Hello again everyone, Jackie here with todays inspiration. I actually made this card some time ago for a very dear friends birthday, I have used characters from past sets but you could easily use any of Joset’s characters for this design.

Step One:

Start by creating a watercolour background panel using a piece of watercolour paper and loosely paint a blue wash. Next Die cut a leaf shape into a piece of cardstock and once the background is dry use this to stencil two leaves in the centre.

Step Two:

Die cut and ink two more leaves in a different design then fix them on top of the stencilled leaves.

Step Three:

Build the characters adding some inking to the edges, add finer details using a white gel pen. Attach the panel to a top folding A2 card blank using 3d foam pads.

Step Four:

Add the sentiment of your choice then finish off with a few tiny die cut daisies.

Thank you for stopping by today, I hope I have inspired you. If you haven’t already got the raccoon and giraffe dies they are still available on the ECD websites. Happy crafting – Jackie x

Joy tags for Christmas

September 28, 2023

Hi all, Sylvia again here for you on the blog. Time flies, don’t you think? Before you know it, it’s Christmas again and this year I decided to start my Christmas preparations early (also because I have a vacation coming up in November, so less time to prepare). For today I would like to show you how I created some Christmas gift tags, using items from both Joset’s and Annette’s collections, because they combine great! Let’s get started shall we?

step 1: find a piece of coloured cardstock slightly wider than the word Joy. Tape the word die (including the inner circle on the O ) on the bottom edge of your paper and run it through your machine, but NOT all the way!! Make sure the top of the letters are not totally cut and are still attached to the paper. I like to run it through about 75% so that you can just barely see the “v” shape in the centre of the letter Y.

step 2: pick the 3rd largest tag from the nested tags set, slide the bottom part under the letters (so they won’t be cut off) and run it through your machine again. You might wanna handcut a bit in between the letters. Now you have a tag with the word JOY at the bottom edge.

step 3: decorate the tag to your liking with stamps and/or dies. As an example, I made the green tag with Mr. and Mrs. Claus and the blue one with Jack Frost. Finish the tag off with a nice piece of ribbon or twine.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask, I’d be happy to help you out. Have fun preparing for Christmas!

Happy crafting!

Sylvia

Caterpillar to Butterfly

September 26, 2023

Karen here! I love all of Joset’s critters….so when it’s time to create a birthday card or two, I reach for the critters first. The new bugs are adorable. I am showcasing two birthday cards I made. One is for the cutest granddaughter anywhere, and the other is for my sweet sister-in-law!

First off, the card for my sister-in-law using the really cute Butterflies. I used the new Beautiful Brights paper for the butterfly (except the body which is White Soft Finish Cardstock. I put it on a Stitched Rectangle die cut from the Pretty Pastels paper. The little banners in the corner are from a retired set. I embellished the card with a few of the Floral Minis also cut from the Beautiful Brights paper. The sentiment is from the Bugs & Kisses set.

I decorated the inside with another Stitched Rectangle die cut (with a stripe of Beautiful Brights Paper) and another sentiment from Bugs & Kisses.

The card for my granddaughter uses the sweet Caterpillar die, more mini flowers, and the sentiment for her birthday!

Thank you for stopping by!

Craftily yours, Karen

a bunch of hocus pocus

September 25, 2023

Hello crafty friends, it’s Summer Hills-Painter here on the blog today. Today, I am using the cute caterpillar die set from the Bugs and Butterflies collection.

Preparation

Cut and assemble the caterpillar from the Caterpillar die set (for mine, is used some of the Pretty Pastels cardstock). Cut the witch hat, caldron, and spoon from the Halloween Accessories die set. Cut the second largest rectangle from the Indented Stitched Rectangles die from blue cardstock. Cut a slimline card base from black cardstock measuring 7″ x 8 1/2″ and score at 3 1/2″. Cut a card layer panel from green cardstock measuring 3 3/8″ x 8 3/8″. Cut a layer from white soft finish cardstock measuring 3 11/4″ x 8 1/4″. Cut a green grass piece from the Adventure Edges die set. Cut and assemble the “Hocus Pocus” sentiment from the Panner Essentials Halloween Set 3.

Instructions: 

Select varying shades of blue ink, a yellow ink, and a black ink of your choice. Starting with the yellow ink, blend the ink to the right side. Using your lightest shade of blue ink, blend that around the yellow ink, leaving the yellow untouched. Take your next darker shade of blue ink and ink the rest of the cardstock. Lastly, go around the edges with black ink.

Using light green Distress Oxide ink, blend over the yellow ink which allows for a nice green glow from our caldron. Using white ink/paint, lightly splatter the white paint onto the card to simulate stars in the night sky.

Adhere your grass piece to the inked card panel. Afterward, adhere the entire panel to your green card layer.

Ahere your caterpillar, caldron, and sentiment to the card panel

Adhere the card panel to your slimline card base and your card is completed.
