(VIDEO) Hey Boo Ghost Card with Christy

Posted by Christy Reuling | Oct 14, 2024 | Uncategorized

Hey friends, it’s Christy here, back to share another spooktacular card using our new Halloween Kit which released last month. For this card, I focused on the adorable ghosts from the All the Spooks stamp set. They are so mischievous and just make me smile! I colored all the images with Copic markers and trimmed them out with the matching dies.

I mixed together Speckled Egg, Salvaged Patina, and Hickory Smoke, and did some splatter detail as well. Then I trimmed...

Hey friends, it’s Christy here with a card using our adorable new Halloween Card Kit that released last month. There are so many adorable sets in this kit that I couldn’t use just one.

Hey friends, it’s Christy here with a birthday card featuring our adorable Nine Lives stamp set. I love these kitties so much, and I recently did a video on Six to a Dozen Ways to Color Cats using all types of prints, patterns, and color palettes. I used the templates I created in that video as a reference for today’s Copic coloring, and gave them little accessories to match the patterned paper. Then I trimmed the images out with their matching Nine Lives dies. For the background, I laid the Gallery Frame #6 die over some Bristol Cardstock and...
