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!
