Simon Says Stamp - Sweetest Wishes Release Blog Hop, Day 1

Oct 11, 20243 min read

Hi Lovelies!

Welcome to Day 1 of Simon Says Stamp's Sweet Wishes Release Blog Hop! I've caught a Halloween bug in the best way and have two spooky, sassy, sweet cards to share with you today!

We'll use the Witch Feet die as our focal point for both cards and switch up our accessorizing characters. Ink-blending and coloring will enhance both our die-cuts and the backgrounds.

Why don't we get started then by reviewing the key supplies for today's cards:

Supplies are linked in the Supplies Section at the end of this post. Check out the entire Sweet Wishes release by clicking the image below:

CARD HIGHLIGHTS

CARD BACKGROUND

After embossing the Green Apple and Orange Peel cardstock, gentry press the embossed cardstock onto a clean Pawsitively Perfect Craft Tacky Mat and ink-blend in a circular motion from the edges towards the center.
First using the lighter color ink, leaving about a 3 inch wide oval without any ink to create the "spotlight". Then blend the darker color along just the perimeter edges of the card to deepen the contrast

DIE-CUTS

Use the cardstock guide to die-cut the Witch Feet layers and adhere with craft glue.
Use the Terracotta ink pad and the Round Detail Brush to darken the edges and grooves of the pumpkin top layer
Color the pumpkin stem with YG25
Die-cut the ghosts out of white cardstock and place onto Pawsitively Perfect Craft Tacky Mat.
Color with the Copic Markers using the guide above for your color selections.

FINISHING

Using the Nocturne VersaFine CLAIR, stamp and trim your sentiments from the Halloween Friends set
Position and adhere your die-cuts and sentiments on the black card bases, pop up the stampend sentiment with foam tape/dots.
