Whirly wheel Halloween card, for the challenge at Lost Coast designs/Carmens Veranda stamps

 Hi there, today is my last Halloween entry for the

 Lost Coast Designs/Carmens Veranda stamps  Halloween challenge.

I made a whirly wheel card with dancing skeletons.

I just love this skull and bones background stamp from Carmens Veranda stamps.

And this is how to make the card.

I used.

Carmens veranda, skull and bones background

Carmens veranda , When witches go riding

Lost Coast Designs, Rustic checkerboard border

Lost Coast Designs, Dancing skeletons

Versafine onyx black

Distress Oxide crackling campfire and Villainous potion.

Black fineliner.

For the whirly wheel I used a die set, to assemble the card, you can look up a video on YT.

How to make the card.

I started by stamping the skull and bones background onto white paper with oxide villainous potion.

Now isn't this an awesome background stamp.

While the background is drying, we continue with the dancing skeletons.

We stamp these with Versafine onyx black.

Let them dry and then cut them out.

We make the mat 1/2 cm larger than the card on all sides.

Continue with the Distress Oxide crackling campfire and the rustic checkerboard border stamp.

Stamp the border 4 times.

Cut them to size and glue them onto the mat.

Mat this with a green mat and a black mat.

Stamp the last line of the text on a piece of paper left over from the border.

Assemble the card so that the dancing skeleton emerges from the top of the card.

Now it looks if the skeleton is dancing.

Stick the text and the larger skeleton onto the skull and bones background with foam tape.

And that's it, I hope you enjoyed it.

The challenge runs until October 31st.

So there's still time to participate and have a chance to win a prize.

Halloween challenge at Lost Coast designs/Carmens Veranda stamps Day 20. Iris shutter card.

Gnome witch on broom.

Spiderwebs background.

Checkerboard rustic border.

How to make the card.

Start by die cutting all the iris shutter parts.

Ink them up as shown on the photo's.

Put all the parts aside and let them air dry. Do not use a heat tool. The shutter parts will warp and they need to stay flat.

Punch a 1.5 inch cirkel and stamp the little star with.

Color the background and the witch.

Color the edge with Dusty concord.

Assemble the iris shutter as explained on the packaging.

Draw a pumpkin face on the iris shutter with the black marker.

We splash some Seedless preserves on the top ring of the shutter and sponge the word BOO on it.

Glue it to the iris shutter.

Stamp the witch, spiderweb, text on the pink background.

And the checkerboard above and below the purple background card.

Give the stamps accents with the white gel pen.

Assemble the iris shutter further as stated on the packaging of the die.

Can't figure it out? Then look up a video on YouTube.

That will help you through it.

I decorated with bats and pumpkins, but you can of course do that to your own taste.

I had a lot of fun making this card.

I'm curious to see what you make for Halloween.

Feel free to show us on the LCD/CV Blog or Facebook.

You'll then join the challenge and have a chance to win new stamps. 

How cool is that?

#164 -Challenge at Lost Coast Designs, make a rock or popup card.

Goodmorning and happy easter to all of you.

This is my second card for the rock or popup challenge.

Gail, our dt leader had a great 

idea for a challenge. 

Rock or popup.

I chose a rocker card with a pendulum.

I thought this airship was well suited for that.

Because I have never made an interactive card before, 

I did some searching on the internet.

And ended up with one of the best card makers out there.

Jennifer Mcguire.

Here is a link to the video on how to make a rocking card with a pendulum.

Here's a little explanation of how I made my rocker.

What I used.

Lost Coast Designs, STP Dirigible.

Adventure is from the Misc words sheet.

The small curl in the water is from the Brush Strokes sheet.

The beach (the rocker part) Shrubbery. 

Steampunk mermaid. 

For the ocean, 

Distress oxide,

Peacock feathers and Blueprint sketch.

For the sky, Distress oxide,

Musterd seed, Wild honey, Abandoned coral and Wilted violet.

For the beach (rocker), 

Distress oxide, Tea Dye, ground espresso.

Ditressink, walnut stain.

Amsterdam acrylic ink Titanium white.

Distress micro glaze.

Color pencils.

Die of waves (Leane Creatieve), Lea'bilitie landscape.

The card consists of two halves.

The sky and the ocean.

For the sky I started with ink blending at the bottom.

First with Mustard seed then with wild honey.

Then with Abandoned coral and finally at the top the Wilted violet.

When that is dry, continue with the clouds.

I painted the clouds with white Amsterdam acrylic ink.

The oceaan is cut out in waves with a waves die.

I stamped the bottom half with the curl stamp from the brush strokes sheet with Distress Glaze.

With a inkblending tool, the oceaan at the top with Blueprint sketch.

 the bottom half with Peacock feathers.

When it was dry I painted some foam caps on the waves,

 with a brush with the Amsterdan acrylic ink.

With colorpencils, i used Derwend colorsoft, 

I colored the mermaid and the airship (Dirigible), 

and with a piece of die cut wave I stamped "Adventure".

made a pencil line around it to make it pop.

Now for the rocking part. 

I folded a pieces of 200 grams paper and cut a half circle out.

With a inkblending  tool and distress oxide Tea dye I colored it.

With distress oxide ground espresso I stamped the shrubbery.  

Its a impression of the beach and sand dunes.

Jennifer Mcguire's video shows you how to assemble the card.

I Loved to make this card. It was a real out of the box for me.

Hope you have fun making a rocker or popup card and please show it on oure 

challenge blog or facebook.

New challenge at Lost Coast Designs/Carmens veranda, Rock or popup card.

Hello all,

Today a very nice challenge starts at Lost Coast Designs/Carmens Veranda stamps.

A rocker or popup card.

Gail, our team leader always knows how to provide us with fun challenges.

I had never made a card like this myself, but I really enjoyed doing it.

This is what I used to make this popup card.

Lost Coast Designs stamps:

Bugs,

More bugs,

Party words,

Misc words,

Brush strokes.

Distressink

Scattered straw,

Musterd seed,

Wild honey.

Stazon Timber brown,

Die of a flower,

Water based markers,

Brown Bister-ink or watercolor paint to splatter.

 Dutch doobadoo stencil chicken wire.

Brown waterprook fineliner.

I started by making some stains on the paper with Scattered straw and

Musterd seed with water on a smooth work surface.

I did two piece, one for the front of the card and one for the inside of the card.

With a stencil, I used Dutch doobadoo stencil chicken wire.

And a brush I applied Distressink Wild honey.

Now we take the Brush strokes sheet and take the stamp with the big dots.

You stamp this here and there with Distressink wild honey.

Set it aside to dry.

Make the flower with your die.

I have an open die.

So I made a blank square of paper underneath.

I sponged this with the yellow distressink.

And made splashes with the brown bistre.

I did the same on the card bases I made earlier.

Sponge the die cut with yellow and orange distressink.

With foam tape you now stick the flower on the background so that it is slightly raised.

Glue to the front of the card.

Now we stamp a lot of bees and one big bee from the

 "more bugs"sheet with the Stazon timber brown.

Color the bees and cut them out.

See for yourself where you have the bees placed on the card.

I also pasted a small piece of foam tape under these wings.

It looks like they're flying away.

Now for the popup mechanism.

Since it was my first time, I used Sam Calcott's method.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-t46jbZPQag

She explains in this video how to make it.

You do need to customize it for your own card.

But it's about the technique for the popup.

Stamp a few more texts on a yellow sponged strip of paper

with the Party words and misk words.

Create a frame around the text with a brown waterproof fineliner.

Finish the card and mat with brown paper.

I hope you enjoyed it and the team would love to see your popup or rocker card join the challenge.

And maybe your card will be chosen as the winner and you will win stamps of your choice.
