Witches, Pumpkins, and Cats Go BOO

By Kathren-Ann of

Hello!! I’m so happy you have stopped by. Today I am sharing a fun Halloween-themed project featuring the Little Witch Agenda from Mama Elephant. I am entering this project in the #MamaElephant2021GDCall. 



I started by creating the sky using the MFT cloud stencil with Distress ink Shaded Lilac and trimmed them down to fit inside the clear boxes. Then I stamped out the little witches and pumpkins with cats and colored them in with Copic markers. I kept the Copic coloring simple and used only 2-3 colors for shading some of the images. Finally, I used the matching die cuts to cut out the witches and pumpkins with cats.





To create the hills and floor, I chose some pattern paper from my stash and used the hill border die from Lawn Fawn to cut them out. To give them some depth, I ink blended various Distress Ink colors on the cutouts. The last item I prepped was the letters to spell out BOO. I coated the letters with two coats of Black Soot Distress paint paying attention to the coat the insides of the letters as well as the outside.


Next, it was time to assemble the three screens; the longest and extra fun part. I decided to cut out the witches and cats a second time in white card to hide the ink bleed through and to give them a little more stability in the scene. The witches on brooms are adhered to the bottom of the box on a skinny piece of acetate to make them appear to be flying.


It was so much fun putting this little project together! I think this would be fun to re-create in an IDEA-ology display dome with other images. 


Thanks so much for stopping by! Happy Crafting!!

Summer Time Fun

Hello!! I am so happy you stopped by to see how this card came together. It truly is a simple design using masking and Copic coloring. The scene for this card is inspired by the Mama Elephant me-challenge Discord prompt: “Summer Time!” Summer reminds me of lots of camping trips when I was little. So, I created a simple forest scene using three Mama Elephant sets: Winter Fox, Dandelion Wishes, and Sunday Sentiments. I first stamped the red panda and the foxes then masked them off to add some trees to complete the scene. I then masked the trees and used a stencil to ink blend a sunset sky and ground. After the ink blending, I used my Copic markers to color in all the images. I really love the blending of the colors for the foxes! I am still learning about to use my Copics and found the blend easily on Bristol Smooth card so, my go to is Strathmore Bristol Smooth cardstock. Lastly, I heat embossed the “Thank you” sentiment across the bottom, being sure to mask off the ends to keep the whi

Rainbow Fern Hi

Hello and welcome! Today I have another rainbow-inspired slimline card. The star of the show on this slimline card is the Fern Square die from Simon Says Stamp. I had so much fun creating the Leafy Rainbow slimline card that I searched my stash for another “sleeper die.” I found another square die from Simon Says Stamp called Fern Square. Since this was the same size as the other Leafy Square, I decided to cut them from Concord & 9th cardstock in rainbow colors and then nested them together. I also decided to turn the square on a corner so the fern looks like it is growing upwards. While the rainbow ferns were drying, I dressed up the inside of the card. I love seeing the inside of cards dressed up and I tend to forget this; but not this time! I used a leaf border stamp from the Leafy Frames set and a sentiment from Just Miss You set; both from Simon Says Stamp. The border leaf stamp does not stretch across a slimline so I started in the center then shifted the stamp to either sid
