Hey lovelies!This week I'm sharing a simple Halloween card using die cutting, this card would be great for party invitations I think as it would be easy to set up a production line for mass production! I decided on Honey Bee Stamps' "The Name's Jack" Honey Cuts for this card as the size of the dies themselves are great to use as a focal point! I started by cutting out the two ghosts from white card stock, I held my chosen facial expressions for them in place with washi tape while I ran them through my machine again. I cut...

Hello lovelies!I'm back after a short break last week with an autumnal card using the Outside-In Stitched Pumpkin dies from Lawn Fawn! I cut my pieces from white card stock except for the face, which I cut from black card stock. I decided not to use the face as my card went in a different direction.

I added details with a white gel pen and fussy cut them out.I cut a panel from white card stock using the second largest...

I'm a crazy bird lady so this set is a must have for me!First Card: I used my Misti stamping tool to stamp out all the images with Gina K's Amalgam Jet Black ink. I'll only be using one of the birds with the swing for the first card but I held on to the rest for the second! I coloured them with my alcohol markers, added highlights and details with a white gel pen and fussy cut them all out. I used the...
