How to create a Halloween Magic Picture Changer Card

Hi Guys! I'm Debbie from Debbie J’s Crafting Corner, here today sharing how I created this Halloween Magic Picture Changer Card using Lawn Fawn stamps and dies.

I love showing the process when I’m creating.  I hope my tutorial and video help you see that, if I can make it, You Can Too!

I used the following stamps and dies from Dies R Us:

Card Details

I’m having so much fun challenging myself to create using all of the interactive dies that I’ve bought, but not used.  Today’s card is a perfect example of this.  And it turned out easier than I thought it would.  If you’d like to see some of the other interactive cards that I’ve created lately, check out these on my blog and on my YouTube channel.

This die set makes creating a magic picture changer card super easy.  First I stamped and colored my before and after images.  Then I die-cut them using the dies in the magic picture changer die set and assembled the picture changer window.  To see how I did that, you’ll want to watch the video.

Then it’s all about decorating!  How easy is that?

How to create a Christmas Cookie Jar Shaker Card

Hi Guys! I'm Debbie from Debbie J’s Crafting Corner, here today sharing how I created this Christmas Cookie Jar Shaker Card using Lawn Fawn stamps and dies.

• Introduction: 00:11
• First we Stamp: 0:32
• Then we color: 4:15
• Create the Shaker: 5:30
• Decorating the Front: 7:30
• Add the Shaker Bits: 12:00

 First we Stamp

First we stamp.  I stamped out a bunch of the cookie images, using the solid pieces to color in all of the frosting.  

Then I stamped out the scene for the front of the card.  This includes the jar, the cookies on the “counter” and the cookies still in the jar.  

In order to stamp the frosting, I did some simple masking using Post-it tape for the masks.

Then we color

Then we color.  Well… there wasn’t much coloring needed. But the cookies needed to be baked, right?  So I tried water-coloring with the Caramel ink from Hero Arts and it worked great. 

Then I added some double sided adhesive from Scrapbook.com to the back of the cookie images and label for the jar, and fussy cut them out.

Create the Shaker

To create the shaker, I added double sided adhesive to some Darice foam and cut out the well using the shaker die in the shaker add on die set.

 Then removed the backing paper and adhered some clear acetate, cut from another die in the set, to the foam.

Decorating the Front

Time to decorate the front of the card.  We don’t want the cookies to be floating in the air. 

So I created a countertop by masking off a horizon line with Post-it tape.  I colored the wall in soft blue, and the counter in yellow.

Then I added some splatter and a heat embossed sentiment, and adhered the card together.

Add the Shaker Bits

Now for the fun bit… shaker bits.

I poured out a small pile of a Christmas confetti mix from Dollar Tree into the center of the jar on my card front.  Once they were arranged away from the edges, I adhered my shaker well to the front of the card, over the stamped jar on the card.

 

Here are some photos of the finished card.

Bonjour

Hello crafty friends,

I'm back with my last post for March and for this term. I've had so much fun being on the Dies R Us Design Team for the last two terms and look forward to hopefully making it back on the team someday in the future.

For today's card I used the following dies:  Pinkfresh Studios Slim Fancy Diagonal Stripes, Tutti Designs Frilly Flower Frame and the Creative Expressions Bonjour, which is sadly not currently available.

I started the card be die cutting a piece of pattern pater with the Pinkfresh Studios Slim Fancy Diagonal Stripes and adhering it down to the front of a slim card.  

Next I started working on the flower element by die cutting four Tutti Designs Frilly Flower Frames... 1 from white to use a my base.  2 from purple pattern paper and 1 from green pattern paper.  I used double sided tape on all these die cuts to make adhering them easier.   The flower has a lot of tiny openings and it took me more time than expected to get all the clean and ready (I ended skipping this section in the video, because it took so long).  But please note that it wasn't a die cutting issue.  The die worked wonderfully, the double sided backed tiny pieces just kept sticking to everything.  But I was finally able to paper piece the purple flowers and leaves onto their corresponding places on the white base die cut.  The final element was the added of the "Bonjour" sentiment.

It Almost Feels Like Spring

 Hello crafty friends,

Mary back with my first March post.  After a very snowy and cold February, I'm so glad for the feel of Spring we have been enjoying the last several days.  I think my card below gives off a flesh Spring feel with the help of the following Poppy dies:  Adriana Square Frame and Whittle Birds.

This card looks so intricate, but it so easy to make.  I created a slim card measuring 8" x 3.80" and covered the card front using two die cut Adriana Square Frames, which I first covered with double sided tape before die cutting them.  The Adriana Square Frame measures 4" x 4" so only a tiny bit of overhang required trimming off on the sides.  Next, I die cut the Whittle Birds from pattern paper.  Some of the Whittle Birds I placed down with foam tape for dimension and some flat.  I kept the windows blank of sentiments until I decide what to use the card for, but I kind of envision the word "just" die cut in the top window and "because" in the bottom window.
