24 Cards with Doodlebug Booville 6x6 Paper Pad


Hello crafty friends! Today I have another 6x6 Paper Pad tutorial featuring Doodlebug. I am obsessed with Doodlebug 6x6 pads because it is so easy to create a bunch of cards without using many extra supplies. I think their designs are adorable and I can easily whip up a bunch of cards for card drives like Cards for Hospitalized Kids. If you want more info on donating card please check out my Card Drive Resources page. So today I'm using Doodlebug Booville 6x6 pad while making 24 cards! Once I had made the 24 cards there was very little left over and I really felt like I got the most out of my pad. To see it all in action check out the video.

Halloween Pop Out Shaker Card


Hello crafty friends! Today I have a fun Halloween projects using some new stamps, dies and sequins from Kat Scrappiness. For today's card I will be using the new Toil and Trouble stamp set, the Cross Stitched rectangles, the Pop Out die and some of the Halloween sequins.



The inspiration for this card was the new Pop Out die. I thought it would be fun to hide a shaker behind this interactive card element. I really wanted to use some of the new Halloween stuff as well. So I decided to create a Halloween shaker card that would be a bit simple looking at first and open to a fun surprise. I have a full video tutorial for you today that you can watch below or watch on YouTube.

Video:

I started by stamping the layered cat from the Kat Scrappiness Toil and Trouble stamp set. I knew I wanted the stamp and some sequins to be the surprise underneath. I created a bright and colorful Halloween background using Distress Oxide Inks and shimmer spray. Then I die-cut this background with the Cross Stitched Rectangles and the Pop Out die. I also heat embossed a sentiment from the stamp set on the panel.



Now I was ready to create the shaker. I adhered my cat then the acetate window so none of the sequins would catch on him. I added some Ghostly Greetings sequins to the shaker and embellished the card with some of the ghosts from the Boo to You mix. I hope you enjoyed my card and tutorial. I encourage you to pop over to the shop and check out these fun new products.
