Hocus Pocus Card ~ Halloween Card Series #2

I wanted to share the second card in my 2015 Halloween Card Series. She is a glittery witch brewing up some Hocus Pocus. I created this card in Cricut Design Space and used my Cricut Explore to cut out all the elements; except for the card base. The card base is a standard A2 portrait card. All images are included in the Cricut Design Space subscription. I will be giving a card kit that includes all the cut pieces and bling featured in this card. Details and Cricut Design Space link for cut file at end of post. There is also a YouTube video tutorial to help you recreate this card...

 

Sneak Peek and Winner Announced

Hey Crafters! I hope all is going well with everyone. I wanted to share a sneak peek of my second card in my Halloween series. I had planned on sharing this particular card this past weekend but life, as you know, did not see it that way.

Also, I wanted to share with you all that I signed up to be a Close To My Heart Consultant. I did this because I truly believe in the quality of their products and they offer awesome discounts to Consultants. I share my recent Close To My Heart haul (and others) in my first ever Craft Haul video – click here to see or you can scroll to the bottom to see. I explain in the video that I will be having a Monthly Gathering on my CTMH page and will be giving away Mystery Hostess Rewards. 

CONGRATULATIONS to Diane Boudreau; she won the Halloween Box Card kit. I will be giving away a card kit with my next Halloween card. 

Thank you for visiting me today and have a crafty day! Kim

Spooky Ghost Box Card - Halloween Card Series 1

Hey Everyone! I completed my first card for my Halloween card series. The first is a box card and I created a video tutorial as well. The video is in 2 parts because I didn't want to leave any details out. The card measures 3" x 7" when completed and will fit in a 6" x 8" envelope. All images are available in the Cricut Design Space Subscription. Most images are from the Creepy Critter cartridge...a favorite of mine!

I will also be giving away 1 card kit for each of my Halloween cards. The kit includes all the paper die cuts to construct the card. All you need to do is leave a comment with your email address and be a subscriber to my blog and YouTube channel...that is it. Winner will be announced Saturday October 10, 2015. All Cricut Design Space cut files will be available to my subscribers, as well. 

I wanted to say...CONGRATULATIONS TO CHERYL MURPHAY! She won the Sunflower Box Card kit.

Giveaway and Finally my first tutorial ~ Sunflower Box Card

Hey Everyone,

This post has been a long time coming. I created my Sunflower box card back in July and my goal was to create a video tutorial for this particular card since then. I had purchased Pinnacle Studio 18 video editing software shortly after and have worked here and there to learn how to use this program. It was overwhelming at first but I love it to say the least. The video is a 2 part series and is a little long but I didn't want to miss any details. I would appreciate your feedback on the my tutorial. I would love for you to become a subscriber to my YouTube channel 'The Electric Poppy Creates' https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCngF9lrEBPNbcedErvNxuiQ

Giveaway...we all love a giveaway! I will pick one winner (must be a subscriber) in the next 2 weeks - you will be receiving a Sunflower Box Card Kit. All the paper elements to make this card is included. Winner will be announced 10/4/15. This contest is limited to the U.S. only...sorry. Leave a comment that are a subscriber with your e-mail address or you can e-mail me at kimberspaperdesign@hotmail.com

Happy Crafting, Kim

Craft Organization: Ink Pads

Hello Crafters,

I came across a wonderful idea and tutorial on how to organize ones ink pads. It is a label created by Kristina Werner of KWerner Design. And what is awesome is that she shares the labels in PDF form for free. Here is the link http://www.kwernerdesign.com/blog/?p=14584 and I strongly encourage you to watch her tutorial.

I have a lot of the Tim Holtz Distress Ink Pads and used 'Blank Ink Labels - Short' and they fit perfectly. Here is a quick shot of what I have started.

Also, I am currently working on putting together the video tutorial for the Sunflower Box Card. I have not forgotten but it is taking me longer than I had expected. I am new to video editing but I will get faster.

Happy Crafting my Friend!

Sunflower Box Card

Hi Crafters! Here is my Summer project I created for the Aldina Rose group on Facebook. Since it is now August, I thought of late Summer for inspiration. And naturally sunflowers came to mind; they are my favorite. I also gave this to my mother as her birthday card.

Please, become a follower and e-mail to this subscriber to my blog. Why...I will be sharing directions and the Cricut Design Space file I used to create this box card this upcoming weekend.

The base I created from objects in the Craft Room cartridge. All items are free or in the subscription in Cricut Design Space. Please tell me what you think. I really appreciate your comments. All pictures belong to The Electric Poppy and Kimberly Sisco. You may share but please give credit.
