Hello, my joyful friends! Every Thursday at 11 AM ET I go live on The Joyful Stamper Facebook Page. Everyone is invited for a half hour of stamping fun! I've posted the replay and project sheet below for yesterday's Facebook Live Class projects. Did you know I offer the class kits free? Just place a $35 order (before shipping and tax) by midnight Sunday October 4 and use the Host Code 4JHNU9Z. You can create right along with me! I even included a Shop By Project clickable image at the end of this post!
--->>>Project Sheet with measurements <<<---
This first card is called a Joy Fold and I found it on Splitcoaststampers (seriously, an amazing stamping resource). I certainly went over-the-top with this and it was FUN. I was in the stamping zone, experiencing a creative high! Isn't it the best when you lose yourself in what you're doing?
The layers are piled on in the top front fold. All the lovely bits and pieces are from the Magic In This Night suite in the Stampin' Up! Holiday catalog. The label is stamped, die-cut, and colored in with Blender Pens. I used Gorgeous Grape and Pretty Peacock ink pads to color the label.
Notice my treatment of the sentiment. I learned these tricks from Elizabeth Price of Seeing Ink Spots, a fellow demonstrator. Using a Water Painter, I brushed on diluted Memento Tuxedo Black Ink, then stamped the sentiment in Pretty Peacock while the paper was still damp. The dampness caused the words to slightly bleed for a spectacularly spooky look! Then I bent the paper in random directions to create those waves.
You untie the Metallic Mesh Ribbon to begin opening the card. The Pumpkin Pie panel opens to the right, revealing a hint of the inside layers....
Then the left panel opens to reveal the whole showstopping inside! I didn't try to keep the sentiment on the left panel lined up and straight - it's inked in Memento Tuxedo Black and Pretty Peacock and it was a quicky and dirty stamping job. I wanted that imperfection!
The inside is more glorious layers. Isn't this Magic In This Night Designer Series Paper stunning? I get so excited every time I reach for it! It's on sale, by the way, 15% off, as are other paper packs so take a look! The bats are embossed on Basic Black cardstock with White Stampin' Emboss Powder and cut with the Hallows Night Magic dies. The same technique was used on this sentiment as the front "Happy Halloween". I used a Pumpkin Pie Stampin' Write marker to splatter those little dots.
❗ ❗ Remember, you can see how this card was made in the Live class replay at the top of this post and on my YouTube channel.
When you cut the card base for the first card (all measurements are in the Project Sheet at the top of this blog post), you're left with a 6-3/4"x8-1/2" piece which is the perfect size to make a slimline card. Score in half at 3-3/8" and fold!
The bottom half is a 3"x4" piece of Black Glitter Paper, die-cut with the bats from Hallows Night Magic dies. But noticed I switched some of the bats with the top and bottom of this card!
Did you know you can use the Hallows Night Magic dies to cut the bats from the Magic In This Night Designer Series Paper? I did that to the top half of this card (a 3"x4" piece), then switched the bats. The entire card was sprayed with a mixture of Champagne Shimmer Paint and 70% rubbing alcohol.
🌞🌞 Joyful Stamper Recipe Tip: 5 drops of the paint in a Stampin' Spritzer, fill the rest of the way with the rubbing alcohol. Use an empty Paper Pumpkin box to store your concoctions and to spray your pieces.
Iridescent Pearls were scattered on the top half. See that little bit of Very Vanilla Scalloped Lace Trim? I used Light Stampin' Blends in Smoky Slate and Highland Heather to quickly brush on some color. I wanted to grunge it up to fit the Halloween theme. The same wet stamping technique as the first card was used for the sentiment here, in Gorgeous Grape.
I wanted to incorporate the Cobwebs 3D Embossing Folder so I put a piece on the inside (it, too, has my Champagne Shimmer Paint concoction convering it). I love those spiders crawling up the card!
Place a $35 minimum order in my store by midnight Sunday October 4 and I'll send you the packets to make my Facebook Live projects. You must use the October Host Code 4JHNU9Z when ordering.
