Halloween 2022 Release – Colorado Craft Company

Published on by Rowhouse Greetings57 Comments

HEY FRIENDS! It’s here — the new Halloween 2022 Release by Colorado Craft Company. The release includes BRAND NEW, NEVER SEEN BEFORE illustrations by Anita Jeram as well as new stamps sets from the Lovely Legs and Big and Bold lines. Knowing my love for all things Anita Jeram, Adrienne and Amy sent me three of the new sets to play with.

So today I’m starting with the first of many cards that I’ll be showing over the next few days created from the new release. As always, I’ve linked supplies with compensated affiliate links used where possible at no cost to you. If you like my creations, please consider supporting me by using my links whenever you shop.

BUT FIRST, let’s get a little housekeeping out the way! To celebrate, there will be a blog hop and TWO giveaways so be sure you check out all the details below.

BLOG HOP: See the list of designers at the end of this post. Be sure you check out their projects and give them a little love!

Today’s Project

To kick off the Halloween 2022 Release, I have a card featuring the Anita Jeram Scaredy Cat stamp set. If you like masking, then this is the card for you! If masking is not your thing, coordinating dies are also available.

SCAREDY CATS
SIZE: A2
Featured Products:

To start, I cut a piece of Hammermill Smooth Cardstock to 4.25″ x 5.5″ and stamped the trick or treaters along the bottom using Hero Arts Intense Black Ink. I stamped the same images on a piece of Masking Magic, fussy cut the images, and applied the masks to the panel.

Next, I stamped the fence using Hero Arts Intense Black Ink. Afterwards, I used medium sized moon from the Tim Holtz Moon Mask Stencil set and lightly traced the outline of the moon in pencil. Then I started coloring, use the Copic markers listed below:

  • Cat 1: BV20, BV23, BV25 (fur); R35, R56, R59 (coat); E01, E04 (collar & cuffs); YR04, YR09 (pumpkin)
  • Cat 2: BV20, BV23, BV25 (fur); V2, V25, V28 (hat); YR09 (pumpkin)
  • Cat 3: E13, E15, E19 (fur); YG03, YG17, G29 (cape)
  • Cat 4: C0, C1 (fur); V2, V25, V28 (coat); E01, E04 (collar & cuffs); YR09 (bag)
  • Sky: FB2, B28, B69, B79, BV08
  • Moon: Y21, YR23, Y26, B00
  • Pillars: W1, W3, W5, W7
  • Gate: T5, T7

For the moon, I lightly colored using Y21, leaving a small white border along the inside. For the moon details, I used the coordinating mask to color in the features using YR23 and Y26. Then I used B00 to color the white space, creating the glow around the moon.

I stamped the sentiment on the moon using Versafine ink, covered the ink with clear embossing powder, and heat set the powder.

Finally, I trimmed the panel to 4″ x 5.5″ and applied craft foam to the back using Beacon’s 3-in-1 Advanced Craft Glue. Craft foam is getting hard to find, so you could use foam tape if you prefer. I glued a piece of Licorice Cardstock to an A2 cardbase cut from Neenah Classic Crest and then adhered the image panel to the center as shown.

HEY FRIENDS! I’m excited to be here today to share with you the new STAMPtember exclusive collaboration set between Simon Says Stamp and Colorado Craft Company — Catch A Star. If you like this set, you need to grab it now because it’s going to sell out quickly! Once it’s gone, it’s gone!

As always, I’ve linked supplies with compensated affiliate links used where possible at no cost to you.

Rowhouse Greetings | Anita Jeram Catch a Star by Simon Says Stamp and Colorado Craft Company

This is a large stamp set so my card is actual 5″ x 7″ so that all the elements would fit. I stamped the images on Hammermill cardstock using Hero Arts Intense Black Ink. The mouse is colored with Copic markers (see list below).

You can purchase either the stamp and die bundle or the stamp alone. I didn’t have the coordinating dies so I used my Brother Scan and Cut. I should have paid more attention to the screen because I accidently cut off the poor mouse’s whiskers, but luckily he’s too busy chasing stars to notice.

For the background I ink blended Distress Oxides in Black Soot, Uncharted Mariner, Mermaid Lagoon, and Salvaged Patina on Canson Bristol Smooth. Afterwards, I used the Swirling Stars Die from Tim Holtz/Sizzix to create the starry background. I stamped one of the sentiments from the set using Versafine and heat set it with clear embossing powder. Once I had all of the elements, I assembled the layers as shown.

That’s all for today! See you soon!

Today’s Project

Rowhouse Greetings | Anita Jeram Fairy Godmother by Colorado Craft Company
Anita Jeram Fairy Godmother by Colorado Craft Company

Featured products:

The Fairy Godmother stamp set includes 12 stamps: 6 images and 6 sentiments. The largest stamp is 3.8 x 3.25 inches and the smallest stamp is 0.25 x 0.25 inches. The stamps can be used with the coordinating Fairy Godmother die set sold separately.

For this card, I stamped the image on Hammermill smooth cardstock with Hero Arts Intense Black Ink. I colored the image with Copic markers and then fussy cut it (coordinating dies are available). I cut another piece of Hammermill cardstock to 4.25″ x 5.5″ and die cut the pattern through the center using one of the dies in the Create a Slimline Border Die Set. I repeated the pattern approximately 1/4″ from the bottom and stamped the sentiment between the patterns using Versafine Clare ink in Nocturne.

For the top, I used the Celestial Star Background Foil Plate and Glimmer Foil in Blush along with the Glimmer Hot Foil System to create the pattern across the top. I trimmed the panel down to 4″ x 5.25″ and applied foam tape to the back for dimension. I attached the panel to the front of an A2 cardbase made from Neenah Classic Crest and assembled the layers as shown.

To finish, I added Wink of Stella in Clear to the wand and crown and dots of white and silver gel pen to the dress.

Hope you enjoyed today’s project! See you again soon!

This one took a little engineering to put together. For the card base, I cut a piece of Neenah Classic Crest to 4.25″ x 11″ and scored at 5.5″.

For the image layer, I cut a piece of Hammermill Smooth White Cardstock to 4.25″ x 5.5″. I placed the Peekaboo Backdrop Die by Lawn Fawn on top of the card stock and lightly traced the inside of the windows with a pencil. Then I positioned the images and sentiments from the Anita Jeram Christmas Hats set inside the windows and stamped them with Nuvo Hybrid Ink in Black Shadow. I added one of the small snowflakes from the Big & Bold – Slimline Nordic Snowflakes set, stamped with Versafine Clair in Tulip Red. As a result, all the images were stamped and positioned in place on a single sheet of cardstock. The images were colored with the following Copic markers:

I cut the Peekaboo Backdrop Die two times from white cardstock and once from Simons Says Stamp Cardstock in Fog Gray. I glued the frames together using Art Glitter glue. Once the frames were dry, I glued them into position on the image layer and then glued the card top to the card base as shown.
