Candy Corn Kisses & Halloween Wishes! | Sweet November Stamps

Hello crafty friends!

Today I'm sharing a sweet little Halloween card featuring the adorable new "Candie Corn" clear stamp set from the Sweet November Stamps "Falling Under a Spell" release! Isn't she just the cutest little candy corn girl?! With her fun candy corn-inspired outfit and sweet expression, I couldn't resist creating a bright and playful Halloween card with her!

Of course, every little Halloween cutie needs a furry friend, so I added one of the adorable kitties from the new "Black Cat Magic" clear stamp set. I just love how this little kitty looks nestled beside her, ready for some Halloween fun!

To begin my card, I stamped both images onto my cardstock and carefully masked them off. Next, I pulled out my Copic Airbrush System and created a vibrant blue background. I just love how those bright turquoise and blue tones make the orange and yellow candy corn colors pop!

To give my background a little extra interest, I used some Copic Blender Solution and a textured cloth to create that fun, mottled texture. I love the almost magical effect it gives the background! It's such a simple technique, but it adds so much dimension and personality to an otherwise plain background.

Once everything was dry, I carefully removed my masks and brought these adorable characters to life with my Copic Markers. I had so much fun coloring her bright candy corn outfit, complete with those fabulous orange boots! And that sweet little kitty was the perfect finishing touch.

To complete my card, I added the fun "Candy Corn Kisses & Halloween Wishes" sentiment along the bottom of my panel. I love how it ties the entire scene together! I finished things off by mounting my colorful panel onto a simple white card base, allowing those vibrant colors to take center stage.

This card was such a joy to create! Sometimes all you need is an adorable stamped image, a splash of color, and a little bit of Halloween magic!

Be sure to pop over to the Sweet November Stamps shop to check out the new "Falling Under a Spell" release. There are so many spook-tacular characters just waiting to be colored!

Thanks so much for stopping by today! Wishing you lots of candy corn kisses and Halloween wishes!

Happy crafting! 🎃🐈‍

Jingle All the Way with Frosty Friends! ❄️⛄

There's just something about an adorable little snowman that makes a holiday card extra special! Today I'm sharing another festive creation featuring some of the fabulous goodies from the "Frosty & Festive" release from Catherine Pooler Designs! This sweet little snowman from the "Frosty Friends" Stamp and Die Set is all bundled up and ready to spread some holiday cheer!

I started my card by creating a fun and festive background. Using Cotton Candy ink, I stamped the scripty pattern from the "Holiday Textures" stamp set onto white cardstock. I just love the soft pink holiday writing! To add a little wintery magic, I stamped some sweet snowflakes from the "Jolly Jingle" stamp set using Cummerbund ink. The combination of the soft pink and bright blue is such a fun twist on traditional Christmas colors!

Next, I added a piece of colorful plaid patterned paper from the "Jolly & Bright" 6x6 Paper Pack, trimming it diagonally to create a playful split background. Those festive stripes of pink, green, red and blue bring so much personality to this card! I love how the diagonal design lets both patterns shine without competing with one another.

For my focal point, I die cut a white arch using the "Nested Arch Dies". This created the perfect little home for my sweet snowman! I stamped the "Jingle All the Way" greeting in Martini ink, which coordinates beautifully with the green in the plaid paper.

Finally, I added my adorable little snowman from the "Frosty Friends" Stamp and Die Set. With his cozy striped hat, matching mittens and festive green sweater, he's definitely ready for some winter fun! I just love how his sweet little face brings this whole card together.

I absolutely adore how this card turned out! The mix of playful plaid, soft stamped textures, bright snowflakes and that darling snowman makes for such a cheerful holiday greeting.

The "Frosty & Festive" collection is packed with so many wonderful products for creating handmade Christmas cards. From sweet winter characters to fabulous backgrounds and dies, there's plenty to inspire your holiday crafting!

You can shop the collection at Catherine Pooler Designs.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope this little snowman inspires you to get creative with your holiday cardmaking.

Happy crafting and jingle all the way! ❄️💕⛄

You're Purr-fectly Magical! | Sweet November Stamps 🐈‍✨

Hello, crafty friends!  Are you ready for a little BLACK CAT MAGIC?! 🐈‍⬛🔮

Today I'm sharing another adorable creation featuring the brand-new "Falling Under a Spell" release from Sweet November Stamps! This release is packed with the sweetest Fall and Halloween images, and today's card is definitely bringing on the cuteness overload!

For this card, I couldn't resist playing with the new "Black Cat Magic" clear stamp set! This darling collection features the sweetest little seated witchy lady, 9 purr-fect feline friends, and a whole assortment of fun scene-building accessories, including books, pumpkins, spiders, mice, and more!

Seriously, what's not to love about a room full of mischievous kitties?!

I had an absolute blast putting this little scene together! I started by arranging my sweet witchy lady in her comfy chair and surrounding her with as many furry friends as I could fit. Each little kitty has its own personality, from the playful climber and curious bookworm to the sweet kitty curled up on her lap. And how adorable is that tiny mouse perched on top of her head?!

I also added a few fun accessories to bring the scene to life. The stack of spell books, little potion bottle, hanging spider, and bright orange pumpkin all add just the right amount of Halloween magic! I especially love how the different elements tell their own little stories throughout the card.

Everything was coloured using my beloved Copic Markers! I had so much fun experimenting with different kitty colours and markings. From fluffy greys and warm oranges to sweet calico patterns, each feline friend got its own special look. I chose a bright green floor and soft lavender background to keep everything playful and cheerful, while allowing all those adorable characters to really shine!

To finish off my scene, I added the absolutely perfect sentiment:

"You are purr-fectly magical!"

Isn't that just the sweetest?! I love how this entire card feels like a cozy little gathering of magical friends, with just a pinch of Halloween mischief thrown in!

If you're a cat lover like me, this stamp set is definitely going to steal your heart! With 9 different kitties and so many fun little accessories, the scene-building possibilities are endless. I can already imagine so many different cards featuring these furry little characters!

You're So Hex-tra! | Sweet November Stamps Halloween Release 🎃🧙‍♀️

Hello, crafty friends!

It's a SPOOK-TACULAR day because the brand-new "Falling Under a Spell" release from Sweet November Stamps is HERE! 🎃👻

This fabulous release is filled with all things Fall and Halloween, featuring 12 brand-new clear stamp sets that are sure to put a little magic into your crafty creations!

Today, I'm sharing a sweet and slightly sneaky little witch from the new "So Hex-tra" clear stamp set! Isn't she just adorable?! I absolutely love her oversized witch's hat, bright orange cape, and that mischievous little look she's giving us over her shoulder! And of course, the coordinating "You're so Hex-tra" sentiment is just perfect for this little trick-or-treater!

To create my scene, I started by stamping our little witchy-poo and carefully masking her off. Next, I stamped the new "Forest Path" full-scene background right over top. This gorgeous forest image is packed with detail and is large enough to easily fill a 6x6 card front! Just imagine all the different characters you could bring into this magical woodland setting!

Once my scene was stamped, I masked off the large tree in the foreground and pulled out my Copic Airbrush System. I wanted to create a little extra depth and mystery in the woods, so I airbrushed the background in beautiful shades of blue, giving the forest a cool, shadowy atmosphere. I just love how the darker background makes our little witch and her vibrant orange cape pop!

From there, I coloured everything using my Copic Markers. I had so much fun adding texture to the large tree trunk, bringing the foliage to life, and colouring all those tiny woodland details. The little mushrooms scattered along the path are such a sweet finishing touch!

I kept the finished card fairly simple because I really wanted the stamped scene to be the star of the show. I added the fun "You're so Hex-tra" sentiment vertically along the tree trunk, and I think it fits this design perfectly!

There's something so magical about mixing cute Halloween characters with a slightly mysterious woodland scene. It's spooky, sweet, and just a little bit cheeky!

The entire "Falling Under the Spell" release is available in the Sweet November Stamps shop TODAY! With 12 new clear stamp sets to choose from, there's plenty of Fall and Halloween inspiration waiting for you!
