New Release - Hocus Pocus - Halloween card - Witch with Sunflower hat - Creepy Creatures collection with Polkadoodles

Hello everyone and happy Sunday... yes I'm back with another card from the 

brand new release from Polkadoodles.

Perfect for all those Halloween projects.  Creepy Creatures collection is a fantastic collection of 3 bundles.  Cute & Creepy, Witches & Broomsticks and Creepy Things, 

Inside the collection you’ll find everything from pumpkins, ghosts, skeletons, mummies, bats, monsters and creepy dolls, to witches, broomsticks, cauldrons, spell books, black cats and potion bottles. Perfect for trick or treat cards, party invites, scrapbook layouts, junk journal spreads, stickers, planner pages and DIY stationery.

Each design comes as both pre-coloured images for quick makes and black & white digital stamps for colouring at home. Every bundle also includes free SVG outlines, making them ideal for Cricut, Silhouette Cameo and Brother ScanNCut.

For my spooky card today I chose to use the pre-coloured Witch with Sunflower Hat from the Witches and Broomsticks bundle, she is available for you to colour too!

It's a larger A7 or 5" x 7" card so I resized the character to suite my design and then printed out before fussy cutting out ready for the card. 

I chose one of the spooky purple papers from the collection, die cutting and arch in the centre of the paper.  I blended distress ink around the edge of the paper to add darker tones and added a purple die cut frame around the arch.

The sentiment is from the collection, printed and fussy cut out.

To finish off the design I added some purple confetti around the the card and glossy accents to the centre of the sunflower.

I hope that you like my project today and you'll enjoy the next that I share from Polkadoodles.

Hasta luego 👋 

Enjoy the rest of your day !

Best Witches - Halloween card - Cute Halloween Bundle - with Lili of the Valley LOTV

Hello everyone wishing you all a lovely Saturday......The weeks are absolutely flying past...till soon be you know what ! Today is a special day for us as we moved here from the UK permanently 8 years ago and its been the best thing ever.  It was a big step retiring early from our jobs and upping sticks, but perfectly planned and we haven't looked back...my only regret is not being able to do it sooner x

We are off to Granada for the day, a spot of wandering around the city and lunch is booked at a new (to us) restaurant overlooking the Alhambra.  We visit the city at least once a month as its only 40 minutes drive away and it's my favourite place to visit - no matter how often we go there is always more to see and more culture to soak up.

It's time to share another cutie for Lili of the Valley (LOTV)  using their latest  Cute Halloween bundle featuring 35 very cute Ghosties, ghoulies and witches, definitely everything you need to create some fantastic Halloween projects.

The huge bundle is now available in the Etsy shop and don't miss out on the fabulous sale price (Ends very soon !)

For todays card I've used one of the cute little witches from the bundle, zooming around on her broomstick.

I resized her to fit my A6 card and then printed out, colouring with promarkers before fussy cutting out....I also printed out a fabulous spooky sentiment too.

I chose one of the papers from the Cosmic paper bundle and used this for my card, die cutting an aperture through which I used the stencil to add the moon directly onto the card base.

The sentiment was die cut and I blended a little purple and blue ink to that it blended in with the card design.

Finishing touches were some clear sparkle for her outfit, white gel pen highlights and sparkly confetti around the design.

I hope that you like my card today and you'll enjoy the next cards I share for Lili of the Valley (LOTV)

Digi Choosday - Hocus Pocus collection - Halloween is coming - Witch & Kitty card - with Polkadoodles

Hello everyone and happy Wednesday... I hope that you are having a good week....Its September already and were already starting to think about Autumn and Halloween...sad really as the Summer months go by so fast although Ill be glad for the lower temperatures to come.

It's that time of the week to share some more inspiration for our current 'Anything Goes' challenge over on the Polkadoodles Digi Choosday Blog so I hope you are going to join in and don't forget the amazing Digi Choosday discount off all crafty printable downloads!  

Don't Forget that our challenges our now 4 weekly so there's loads of time for you to join in and more chances to win too!

The theme set for the DT this week is Halloween / Autumn is coming so I decided to use the Hocus Pocus collection for my shaped card today.... I don't make lots of Halloween cards but this was fun to create.

It's the perfect collection of digital stamps, sentiments and ephemera and comes in black and white images for you to colour but also in pre-coloured format.

I wanted to create the look of a spiders web for my card so used some of my nesting dies to create a shaped card cutting from black card.  Next I cut a slightly smaller piece of white card  and then used the fabulous Funky Vortex stencil to create my swirling pattern using black, orange, lime green and purple distress inks.  Once I was happy with the depth of colour, I used a couple of Posca pens to add little dots to the swirls to look like magic swirling into the centre of the design.

For some extra interest I die cut two smaller frames from black card and adhered these over the panel to give the look of a cobweb.

For the main focal image I merged the little witch in the pumpkin and the kitty in the pumpkin together before printing out on alcohol marker friendly cardstock, colouring with promarkers and fussy cutting out.

I adhered the witch and kitty to the shaped card base using foam tape for dimension along with one of the sentiments from the collection.

To finish off the design I added white gelly roll pen highlights and some purple confetti around the the card.

I hope that you like my project today and you'll enjoy the next that I share from Polkadoodles.

Hasta luego 👋

Digi Choosday - Wednesdays - November birthday Easel card with Polkadoodles

Hello everyone and happy Wednesday I hope that your having a good week so far....

It's that time of the week when we launch a brand new 'Anything Goes' challenge over on the Polkadoodles Digi Choosday Blog so I hope you are going to join in and don't forget the amazing discount off all crafty printable downloads until midnight today!

The theme set for the DT this week is to create an easel card for a November birthday with no red.  

It's my best friends birthday in November and we both love a witchy film called Practical Magic, it might be the Midnight Margaritas half way through the film but I decided to make her a card using Matilda from the Spellbinding Witches collection.  I have included a link for you to watch the film clip just in case - here 

Who says witches are just for Halloween !

I created the simple easel card from a 6" x 6" Kraft card blank and then chose several papers from a couple of collections to add to the card base, matting each with black card.  I used the papers to choose my colours for the witch colouring with Promarkers (see below for colours used)

I added a sentiment from the Rebel Girl collection as it was perfect for our midnight margaritas song.

To add some extra witchyiness (is that actually a word ?) to the card I added a black cat, a couple of potion flasks and extra sentiments from the Hocus Pocus Witches collection.

The die cut stars cut from black card have been given extra sparkle and I have scattered black sparkly gems around the design along with some glitter pen on her hat buckle and laces and a few touches of white gelly roll pen.

I hope that you like my card today and you'll enjoy the next cards I share from Polkadoodles.

Happy Friday everyone I hope that you are all well and have had a lovely week - my goodness where has the year gone ? October already and you know whats around the corner.

The first Friday of the month marks the start of a new Challenge for December over on the Pattie's Creations Design Challenge blog 

The challenge runs from the first Friday of the month and its an Anything Goes challenge or our theme for October is Autumn/Fall, so as long as you use a digital or stamped image in your project, why not join in the challenge.

Winners of the challenge will receive 2 digital stamps of your choice from Pattie's shop.

Pattie has some wonderful digital stamps in her Etsy Shop pattiescreations and there is also a freebie every month on the blog that you can use in your project if you want to! 

For my October project, I chose  to use the Witch's Legs digital stamps to create an A6 card, it is the month for all things Witchy after all.

I resized the image to suit my card size and also printed a Halloween sentiment on my LaserJet printer.  The image was coloured with Promarkers and then fussy cut out.   

I decided to cover the card blank with some spooky purple Halloween paper and then die cut a scalloped frame from black card to add to the card base.  The Witch's legs were mounted on foam tape for dimension and then the sentiment was foiled in gold before blending purple distress ink over the strip.

To finish off the card I scattered gold confetti around the design to tie it all together. 

I do hope that you like my card for today and don't forget to join in with this months challenge over on the blog.

Digi Choosday - Hocus Pocus Witches Halloween with Polkadoodles

Hello everyone and happy Tuesday.  Wishing you all a lovely day today and that you enjoy the week ahead.

It's that time of the week when we launch a brand new 'Anything Goes' challenge over on the Polkadoodles Digi Choosday Blog so I hope you are going to join in and don't forget the amazing discount off all crafty printable downloads until midnight today!

The theme set for the DT this week is Halloween.  Well it had to be really with only a couple of weeks to go to the spooky celebration.

For todays card I decided to use one of the fabulous witches from the newly released Hocus Pocus Witches collection

I chose to create a very simple spooky scene for my little witch - they don't always have to be complicated - just a simple stone wall and a dirt floor - it is a cave after all.

I started by resizing the little witch with the eyeballs in a flask to suit an A6 card panel and added cobwebs and potion flasks from the Autumn Fall Halloween set of ephemera.

I printed and fussy cut out the Hocus Pocus sentiment from the Halloween Trick or Treat set of sentiments

Once my background was coloured in with my promarkers, I have added some distress ink around the outside edge to make it a little more spooky, before adhering to my card blank, with a mat layer of black card.

To finish off the card I added just a touch of glossy accents to the star on the witches hat and I used a metallic pen to add little sparkly details to the cobwebs, potion flasks, sentiment and witches dress.

I have a very special DT discount code that you can use for all your shopping on the Polkadoodles online shop at checkout use WENDYJ-10 and you will get 10% of your entire purchase (not in conjunction with other discount codes!)

I hope that you like my card today and you'll enjoy the next cards I share from Polkadoodles.
