Looking For A Little Christmas

 Is it ever too early to get excited for Christmas? Not when this mischievous little fox is already on holiday watch! Just look at him peeking around the Christmas garland like he’s checking to see who’s been naughty, nice, or hiding the cookies. He’s from the new Christmas Peeks stamp set by Pajama Crafter Stamps, and a peek-a-boo card was absolutely the perfect way to show off this curious little cutie.

I also have a YouTube video up on my channel showing exactly how this festive little card came together. Pop on over, grab a cozy drink, and come see all the Christmas cardmaking magic in action!

I used Copic markers to color him in the following colors:

• E13, E09, E18 - cinnamon sticks
• R27, R39 - berries
• YG61, G82 -    lighter green foliage
• YG91, BG93, BG98 - pine
• YR30, YR23, YR24, YR27 - fox head and body
• E0000, YR0000, E40 - fox muzzle, belly and inner ear
• T0, T2, T3, T7 - foot and additional shading for the muzzle, belly and inner ear

The sentiment on this card is included in the stamp set.  I added it to a little piece burlap to enhance the woodland feel of this card.

This was such a fun card to make.  Make sure you check out the video to see how I cut out the card front.

Hello, festive pun-lovers! Here’s my merry little take on the Crafty Pantry Box Die Set by Trinity Stamps. Just look at those cheese and crackers, all dressed up like they’re headed to the North Pole potluck. With silly puns, a delightfully cheesy background, and enough holiday spirit to make a fruitcake blush, this might just be the most unexpected Christmas card on the snack table. It’s perfect for the punny person in your life—or anyone who believes Christmas could use a little more cheddar.

Halloween Candy Bowl

Look at all the goodies spilling out of this pumpkin candy bowl! This card is packed with bright color, spooky fun, and just the right amount of Halloween mischief. The bold sentiment is ready to wish everyone a day filled with delicious treats, creepy-cute surprises, and maybe only a few tricks along the way. I created this card with one of my favorite die sets, the Crafty Pantry Box Die Set by Trinity Stamps, and I love how it turned into a festive little bowl of Halloween goodness.

I stamped the Pantry Box Greeting on a piece of white cardstock, then cut it out with the coordinating die set.  I wanted it to blend with the purple cardstock background, so I colored it in with a matching marker.  I think doing this really made the lettering pop.  What do you think?

I used the bowl from the Tiny Whisk and Wish Die Set.  To decorate the bowl, I used a face cut out from the Pumpkin Head Coordinating Die Set.  All of the yummy candy is from the Pumpkin Candy Bucket Die Set.  To make the application of the bowl and candies easier, I like to apply a piece of Trinity Rip and Stick 6" x 9" Adhesive Sheet to the cardstock before I die cut it, so all I have to do is peel off the protective tape and apply it where I want it.  

The small words were stamped using the Simply Sentimental: Halloween Stamp Set, to step it up a bit.  I used this stamp set for the inside sentiment also.

I also, used bats cut from black cardstock using the bats from Spooky Silhouettes Coordinating Die Set.

I think this is just the cutest Halloween card, but then again, I am partial to any card made with the Crafty Pantry Box Die Set.  If you want some other pantry box ideas, check out some of my earlier posts.  

Thanks so much for stopping by the blog today! I hope this spooky-sweet project inspires you to create a fun Crafty Pantry box of your own—filled with treats, tricks, and plenty of Halloween charm.

Happy Halloween From the Boo Crew!

The Boo Crew has floated in to wish you a frightfully fun Happy Halloween! If this ghostly gang makes you shake, rattle, and roll, then this shaker card is definitely calling your name.

For the spooky background, I blended Twisted Citron, Peacock Feathers, Wilted Violet, and Villain Potion Distress Oxide inks to create a bright, eerie Halloween glow.

These little haunters were a scream to color! I used the following Copic markers:

• C0, C1, C3, C5, C7 – gray
• Y00, Y08 – yellow
• Y17, YR16, YR18 – orange
• V15, V17 – violet
• B0000, B00, B04 – blue

I placed these friendly ghosts on a shaker pouch, which makes the whole card quick, easy, and extra fun—just give it a shake and let the spooky magic swirl! The sentiment is included with the set, so I stamped it on cardstock and trimmed it down to fit.

Thanks so much for stopping by—I hope your day is full of treats, sparkle, and maybe even a friendly little ghost or two!
