Feel the Magic Class Kit

Good evening!

Today is day 3 of the Blast from the Past GinaK Blog hop event!  Tonight several designers are joining together to share projects designed with some favorite stamp sets that may not have been featured for awhile on our blogs.  I have another class card kit to share that I designed for Alicia's Feel the Magic stamp set - just in time to start thinking about Halloween!

Feel the Magic Class Kit Contents:
  • GinaK Cardstock - Heavy white, vibrant violet, dandelion yellow, sweet mango, and smokey slate
  • Silver Eyelets
  • 1 yard Vibrant Violet organdy ribbon
  • Instruction sheet with measurements and supply list to complete the 5 projects shown in the photo above
Now, let's take a look at each project in a bit more detail...

This first card is a quick and simple one that has lots of texture due to the embossing folders. If you don't have the folders I used, other folders could be easily swapped out.  The pumpkin was colored with copics and then stardust stickles were added to the eyes and mouth for some added sparkle.

Card Details
Stamps: Feel the Magic (GKD)
Ink: Black Memento
Cardstock: white, vibrant violet, sweet mango, dandelion yellow, smokey slate
Other: seeing spots & candy cane embossing folders, corner rounder, copic markers,  silver eyelets, 1/4" hole punch & eyelet setter, stardust stickles, scallop border punch, paper piercer, spellbinder long rectangle die

*********

The witch image is so adorable, but rather large so you can see on this card that I just used a portion of the image.  It's best to stamp the image on paper and then trim or cut with a die to make sure you get the exact section of the image that you want. The sentiment was stamped on a square die cut as well and tucked under the bow to make a 'faux' tag.

Here's another card with a partial portion of the image - this time it's even smaller.  I think she's so cute peeking out her 'window.'  More textures with the embossing folders - so there's no need for patterned paper!

This last card shows how easy it is to create your own patterned paper by stamping the pumpkin repeatedly on cardstock in versamark ink and embossing with clear embossing powder for a subtle shine.  The quick and easy layout makes this an easy card to mass produce.

And, the final project is this tag or bookmark that would be a fun alternative to handing out candy to your kid's classmates or friends.  I choose to stamp the image in purple ink, so there was no need to color it but it could easily be stamped in black ink and handed out with a little box of crayons as a party favor, etc.  After all, who doesn't love a new box of crayons - right?!
