HEY PUMPKIN KITTY BOX CARDS | with Kathy

My favorite icon in the Hey Pumpkin Collection is of course the adorable black cat!  He looks just like my boy Jax!  So, when I saw the adorable Hey Pumpkin SVG files, I decided to create a couple of box cards featuring that sweet kitty!  Take a peek...

I started with the Hey Pumpkin October Garden Kitty 2 SVG.  The little kitty popping up from behind the pumpkin made me smile!  I cut the pieces from the Hey Pumpkin Coordinating Textured Cardstock and added some Bits & Pieces and Puffy Icons for the florals.  I love that the coordinating cardstock packs have the perfect colors!

I added the hello speech bubble from the Chit Chat pieces using a piece of heavyweight acetate so it looks like it's floating.

My next card features the Hey Pumpkin Pumpkin Kitty SVG.  The little fella in the pumpkin candy pail was too cute to resist!

I added some candy pieces from the Odds & Ends Pack and candy corn from the Puffy Icons.  The sentiment speech bubble is from the Chit Chat pieces.

I created a tutorial a few years ago showing how I convert flat cut files to 3D cards.  You can find that here on the Doodlebug blog. It will give you a general idea on how to create your own box cards featuring Doodlebug's cut files!  That's it for me today, I hope you all have a fun and safe Halloween!

HEY PUMPKIN DOODLE POP CARDS | with Karen

Today, as I was looking through my new Doodlebug Hello Pumpkin collection for some inspiration, I came across the Doodle Pops! And boy, oh boy, are they a treat (pun not intended). So, I decided I would feature 3 of my favourites on this set of cards - because after all, Halloween is all about the treats!

So I grabbed a set of card bases from the Cards & Envelopes set that coordinates with the collection and got to work - layering paper with some die cuts from the Bits & Pieces pack and a couple of sentiments from the Chit Chat pack.

The glorious part about the Doodle Pops, besides the adorable shapes and characters, is the tremendous dimension these cute stickers bring to any project. Layer upon layer of goodness really does pop on any project you add them to. For this card, I also added some foam adhesive to the die cuts I used around the Doodle Pop just to make sure that they blended in on the design of the card.

On this card design, the Doodle Pop was perfect for the center of the card - a cut out that looks a bit like a frame.

And for this cutie - well I wanted the whole focus to be on him and his adorable, shiny glasses so I added him right to the top layer. Because let's be real - he steals the show anyway!

I love this collection. I mean, I really love it. In fact, I love it so much that I am so sad that this is the last project I get to feature here with it. The good news is that many of the team members have more to share with you over the next couple of weeks so if you are anything like me, stay tuned for so much more fun with Hello Pumpkin!

And since I won't chat with you before Halloween - have a wonderful one in any way that you chose to celebrate! Thanks for stopping by! Hugs,

HEY PUMPKIN SIX HALLOWEEN CARDS | with Tya

Spooky season is here and I've been having a blast creating with the oh-so-adorable "Hey Pumpkin" collection! With Halloween being just around the corner, I couldn't resist making six frightfully cute cards that are full of tricks, treats, and a whole lot of charm! Let's take a look at them, shall we?

I used the amazing Cards and Envelopes kit that matches the collection for my card bases. Six bases and envelopes are included and they make the card-making process as quick as can be! And how fun are all the different shapes of cards? This is one of my favorite things about these kits!

This card features a fun orange bracket-shaped base that sets the perfect backdrop for a Halloween treat explosion! The center is packed with colorful die-cut candy and goodies from the Odds and Ends. To add a little shine, I scattered a few enamel dots from the Shape Sprinkles across the card giving it a sweet finishing touch.

This card is all about fun and whimsy with its file folder-shaped base! At the center, a large die cut from the Bits and Pieces Ephemera pack featuring adorable ghosts, pumpkins, kitties, bats, and a spooky gate creates a stunning focal point! The yellow star paper from the 6x6 paper pad adds a bright, cheerful touch with a sprinkle of stars from the October Sky Shape Sprinkles. This card sparkles with Halloween magic!

This large card makes a bold statement with a beautiful "October 31st" Chit Chat die cut as its focal point. Along the bottom, a delightful row of yummy candies, also from the Chit Chat, adds a playful touch. The background features a fun mix of stars and stripe pattern papers, creating the perfect backdrop for the cute accents. A perfect balance of spooky and sweet!

This card bursts with Halloween spirit! It features bright pink and green paper backgrounds that instantly grab your attention! In the center, a spooky yet fun Haunted House takes the spotlight, with a cute little ghost peeking out, holding his trick-or-treat bag. The playful "Let's Party" speech bubble from the This and That sticker sheet makes this card a perfect invite for a hauntingly good time!

This card features a playful pink polka dot paper that is from the Pumpkin Patch Plaid cut-apart paper. I added a stitched circle made from white card stock as my background covering the sentiment on the card. At the center, a festive little truck steals the show- a die cut from the Odds and Ends. Those little friends are ready for some Halloween fun! The Happy Halloween banner along the bottom from the Chit Chat ties the card all together.

Our last card is a treat for the eyes, featuring 4 yummy cupcake die cuts from the Odds and Ends, topped with colorful sprinkles and candies from the Puffy Stickers. The pink scalloped card base adds a sweet, playful touch. The "You're so Sweet" banner sentiment perfectly ties everything together, making this card an adorable and deliciously sweet creation!

I had so much fun putting together these six cards. Each card was a joy to create, and I hope I have sparked some Halloween inspiration for your own crafty projects. Thank you so much for stopping by the blog today - until next time, Happy Crafting!

HEY PUMPKIN ACETATE HALLOWEEN CARDS | with Kathy

I can't believe we are already halfway through October!  It's time to get those Halloween Cards made!  I put together a couple of fun cards using the Hey Pumpkin Collection along with the Homespun and Clear Heavy weight Acetate.  Take a peek...

 

These cards were so fun to make.  I started with a standard 4.25" x 5.5" (A2) card base.  I cut the front of each card so that only one inch folded over.  I then attached a 4.25" x 5.5" piece of acetate to the front of the card.  I love the "window" affect it makes!

For this first card I used the Homespun Acetate.  I thought it was a cute addition with all the little spiders from the Halloween Night Shaped Sprinkles.

On the front of the card I added one of the spiders hanging from a piece of Doodle Twine.

Inside the card I inked the background with some distress inks, added a spider web from the Hey Pumpkin Spider Web SVG.  I added another hanging spider and a couple of friends!  My sentiment was created with some Beetle Black Alphabet Soup Puffy Stickers.

For my next card I used some Clear Heavy weight Acetate and the Good Spirits Doodle Cuts.  I inked my background and stenciled some clouds.  

On the front of my card I added some grass cut from the coordinating Textured cardstock pack, along with the pumpkin and gates from the Doodle Cuts.  Of course I added another spider!

Inside the card I added more shaped sprinkles and the tree and ghost from the Doodle Cuts.  The sentiment is from the Hey Pumpkin Doodle Cuts.

HEY PUMPKIN HALLOWEEN WHIMSY CARDS | with Guest Designer Jenn Shurkus

Hey Everyone I’m back! Jenn Shurkus here from Creative Chick Co.  and a self-proclaimed Doodlebug Addict. I love everything they release and was so excited to be invited to guest design. I have another two cards to share with you where I had a lot of fun mixing a bunch of products from the new Hey Pumpkin release! 

I started by stamping out the cat in a pumpkin tote image and the ghost from the Hey Pumpkin Doodle Stamps and coloring them in with Copic markers which are alcohol-based markers (sharing below the specific markers I used). I die-cut it out with the coordinating Doodle Cuts.

For the first card, I started by water coloring a purple background using Distress Watercolor Pencils, and Distress Watercolor Cardstock. I dried this background, and then trimmed this it down to 4” x 5.25”.  I matted it onto a piece of patterned paper from the Hey Pumpkin 6x6 paper pad. 

For the sentiments, I chose a few speech bubble die-cuts from the Hey Pumpkin Chit Chat Ephemera Pack. I also white embossed “Happy” from the Hey Pumpkin stamp set onto black cardstock. Whenever I do ANY embossing, I prep the surface using the Cottontail Embossing Powder Tool. I also like to use a white pigment ink when I am embossing with white embossing powder. 

Next, I die-cut the “Halloween” word included in the Hey Pumpkin coordinating Doodle Cuts several times out of black cardstock, and once out of black sparkle cardstock. I adhered them stacked together with wet glue. 

I added some Prisma Glitter to the highlights of the pumpkin with a Sakura Quickie Glue Pen. I also added some Sakura Black Glaze Pen to the eyes of the cat, and the eyes and mouth to the pumpkin. 

I added the sentiments, pumpkin and speech bubbles to the card with black foam squares. I then sprinkled a few stars I cut out with the Hey Pumpkin Doodle Cuts out of black sparkle cardstock. Lastly, I added a puffy bat from the Puffy Icons Sticker sheet.

 

For the second card I trimmed down the Homespun 12x12 Acetate sheet to 4.25” x 5.5”. I also die-cut a stitched frame out of black sparkle cardstock. I used wet adhesive to adhere the frame to the front of the acetate panel. 

I then ink blended a background onto a piece of Distress White Heavystock with the following Distress Inks: Mustard Seed, Festive Berries, Wilted Violet. Next, I splattered some “stars” with Gansai Tambi Starry Colors palette. 

I flipped the framed acetate panel over, and added 2 layers of foam strips around all four sides. I then sprinkled some Hey Pumpkin Halloween Night Shakers into the space. I also added some iridescent sequins. I then peeled the backer paper off the foam strips and adhered the ink blended background to them creating a shaker front. 

I added some Prisma Glitter to the highlights on the ghost, and “BOO” banner with a Sakura Quickie Glue Pen. I added some Sakura Black Glaze Pen to the heart and star in the speech bubbles. 

I chose a sentiment banner and some speech bubbles out of the Hey Pumpkin Chit Chat Ephemera Pack. 

I added the sentiment banner to the card front with wet glue. I added the ghost and speech bubbles with black foam squares. 

I sprinkled some candy stickers from the Puffy Icons Sticker sheet, and some stars from the October Sky Shape Sprinkles. Lastly I added some glossy accents to the glasses on the ghost. 

I am sharing the swatches of the Copic colors I used to color the images above so you can easily recreate them with the coloring medium you choose.  If you would like to learn more about coloring with Copic markers or alcohol-based markers, be sure to check out my Copic 101 online class, which includes a workbook! 

If these cards have inspired you to create with your Doodlebug Halloween stash I would love to see what you create! Be sure to tag me on social media!

HEY PUMPKIN SPOOKTACULAR GREETINGS | with Guest Designer Jenn Shurkus

Hey Everyone! Jenn Shurkus here from Creative Chick Co. and a self-proclaimed Doodlebug Addict. I love everything they release and was so excited to be invited to guest design. I have two cards to share with you where I had a lot of fun mixing a bunch of products from the new Hey Pumpkin release!

I started by stamping out the pumpkin balloon image and the car from the Hey Pumpkin Doodle Stamps and coloring them in with Copic markers which are alcohol-based markers (sharing below the specific markers I used). I die-cut it out with the coordinating Doodle Cuts. 

For the first card I ink blended a background onto a piece of Distress White Heavystock with the following Distress Inks: Mustard Seed, Festive Berries, Wilted Violet. I trimmed this background down to 4” x 5.25” and stamped some of the stars, sprinkle stamps in the Hey Pumpkin stamp set with Versafine Onyx Black ink. Next I trimmed a piece of patterned paper from the Hey Pumpkin 6x6 paper pad to 2.5” x 4” and adhered it to the bottom of the ink blended background. I matted this onto some black cardstock sized at 4.25” x 5.5”. 

Next I chose a couple sentiments to use out of the Chit Chat Ephemera Pack. I dusted the edges of the “eek” speech bubble with a little bit of Wilted Violet Distress Ink. I added some Prisma Glitter with a Sakura Quickie Glue Pen to the highlights on the pumpkin balloon, ghost, and scalloped trim on the basket. I also added a bit of sparkle to the Halloween banner, and some of the stamped images on the background.

 I used a Sakura Black Glaze Pen to trace the face on the pumpkin.

I added the pumpkin balloon, speech bubble, and sentiment banner to the card with black foam squares. I then sprinkled a few stars, dots etc. from the Puffy Icons Sticker sheet.

For the second card, I started by water coloring a spooky night scene using Distress Watercolor Pencils, and Distress Watercolor Cardstock. I dried this background, and then splattered some “stars” with Gansai Tambi Starry Colors palette. I then trimmed this background down to 4” x 5.25”.  The "b"side of the Plaid it's Halloween paper from the Hey Pumpkin 6x6 paper pad has a variety of decorative strips, from this I trimmed out the one that looks like a fence. I added this to my background. 

I matted this background onto some patterned paper from the same paper pad. 

Next, I took the large die-cut “halloween night” moon from the Hey Pumpkin Chit Chat Ephemera Pack, and added some Sakura Black Glaze Pen to the wings of the bats, and traced over the “halloween” letters. I also used a Sakura Quickie Glue Pen to add some Prisma Glitter to the details on the moon.

I also added some sparkle to the colored in car. I added it on the highlights of the pumpkin, balloons, bumper, headlights and ghost. I used a Sakura Black Glaze pen to dot the eyes of the cat, pumpkin, and ghost. I also filled in the steering wheel. 

I added the moon and car to the card with black foam squares. I then sprinkled a few stars I cut out with the Hey Pumpkin coordinating die set out of black sparkle cardstock. Lastly, I added some glossy accents to the headlights. 

I am sharing the swatches of the Copic colors I used to color the images above so you can easily recreate them with the coloring medium you choose.  If you would like to learn more about coloring with Copic markers or alcohol-based markers, be sure to check out my Copic 101 online class, which includes a workbook!
