Another Lawn Fawn Halloween Card

Here is another card, made with the Candy Corn add-on stamp set.  For this card, I just used the stamps.


I used the following for the card:

  • Lawn Fawn - Candy Corn add on stamps
  • Martha Stewart - Halloween stamps (old set!)
  • Copic - C0, C1, C3, Y6, YG07
  • Distress Oxide Ink - Carved Pumpkin, Wilted Violet and Black Soot
  • Versamark
  • Stampendous Detailed White Embossing Powder
  • Memento London Fog
To make the card, I stamped the candy corn cluster on white cardstock with Memento London Fog ink.  I masked the image, and continued stamping the lenght of the card base, masking as I went. The masks removed, and the candy corn colored with Copic markers.  The masks were then re-applied and the backgound added with the distress oixde inks.  Once dry, the sentiment was added with Versamark, embossing powder added and heat set.  The panel was then cut to 4 x 5.25 and added to the card base o complete the card.

Halloween with Lawn Fawn

When I first saw the "How You Bean" stamps and dies by Lawn Fawn, I thought - cute, but I have enough Easter realted stamps.  Then they came out with the Candy Corn add-on.  I knew I had to have that, which of course made me get the "How you Bean" stamps and dies as well!  I mean I can always use more Easter stamp - right?

But for Halloween - this set is great!  Here some of the cards I made:



I used the following to make the cards:

  • Lawn Fawn - Candy Corn add-on, stamps and dies
  • Lawn Fawn - How You Bean, stamps and dies
  • Lawn Fawn - Perfectly Plaid Fall Paper
  • Mama Elephant - Bootastic Stamp set
  • Copic Markers- C0, C1, C3, Y06, YG07
  • Memento - London Fog and Tangelo
  • Acetate
  • Sookwang double sided tape

To make the cards, I stamped the candycorn in London Fog ink, and then colored them with the Copic Markers.  These were then cut out with the matching dies.  On a piece of light orange paper, I stamped the jar for the How You Bean set.  The lid for the jar was stamped on white paper, colored with Copic Markers and cut with the matching die.  I added double sided tape to the acetate, and cut the jar out.  I then added the Candy Corn to the jar, added the jar cut from the acetate, then the lid to the jar.  The individual Candy Corn was added last.  The panel was then cut to size and added to the plaid background.  The entire piece was added to the card base.  I then stamped the Sentiment from the Mama Elephant Bootastic set to complete the card.

Another Vanilla Arts Class - Candlelight

The first class I took from Vanilla Arts (https://www.vanillaarts.com/online-learning/), was Candlelight.  I actually did this one twice, since for the first one, I didn't have the suggested paper, I didn't have all of the Copic Markers, and the most important, I was not happy with the candle.   For the second one, I did use the suggest paper, and had purchased the Copic Markers. I like it better, but still had problems with the candle.  Perhaps I need to try it one more time!
