FALL into the FUN of Autumn Crafting: Copic Coloring on Colored Cardstock: Yippee for Yana
Hi friends! Please join me in welcoming back the oh-so-talented and amazing Yana Smakula! (Please note: our dear friend Yana is Ukrainian. To show support to our brothers and sisters in Ukraine, please see Yana’s post HERE.)
Hello, crafters, this is Yana Smakula for Simon Says Stamp! Welcome back for another Yippee For Yana video! Today I’m creating a Fall card with the Simon Says Stamp Pumpkin to talk About stamp set.
I wanted to create a rich colorful background filled with gorgeous pumpkins. To make the coloring task easier, I used a sheet of orange cardstock, providing a nice base for my coloring.
I heat embossed the image in Antique Gold embossing powder and next used Copic markers and did simple coloring. I used the following colors: YR09, YR18, YR16, Y35, E37, E33, G99, YG67, YG17.
When coloring over a heat-embossed image you want to be very careful and avoid going over the embossing powder, try to color next to it instead of over it. If you go over the embossing powder and color it, you can use a Colorless Blender marker to clean it up.
I used the same colors for all of my pumpkins, but you can make them all different. Think different shades of orange, or perhaps non-orange colors, too.
With the coloring done, I created a sentiment by heat embossing “Pumpkin to Talk About” in Antique Gold embossing powder on light brown cardstock. I added Mocha ink blending to help my sentiment stand out. I used a coordinating die and cut it out. I also used a rectangle die included in the coordinating die set and a frame die to create a backer for my sentiment – the background piece was cut from vellum and the thin frame from gold cardstock. I foam-mounted the sentiment in the center and I love this look!
I added my background colored panel to the A2 side folding card base and foam mounted my sentiment in the center. The card is done, I’m in love!
I hope you feel inspired to create! Have fun stamping! -Yana

Sweeten Up Halloween with Tim Holtz Cupcake Toppers! Not a Card with Nina-Marie
Hey there friends, it’s Nina-Marie Trapani here with you for another installment of my Not a Card feature. Halloween is right around the corner and I thought I would share a fun project that you can use to decorate some festive sweet treats. I’m using Tim Holtz products to make a set of cupcake toppers!
These colorful toppers feature glow in the dark stars for that ultra-spooky touch, made with Tim’s Hocus Pocus stencil and Glow in the Dark Grit Paste! I also used Tim’s Boo Crazy stamp set and our Simon Says Stamp Boo Crazy coordinating dies to make the vellum ghosts, and Big Frights dies to add the moon and bats. All the fun colors in the background were created by ink smooshing Distress inks and spraying on some Distress Spritz!
I put these frightfully cute toppers onto some homemade chocolate cupcakes I baked, making them a perfect Halloween treat for friends and family! Watch the video to see how easy it was to create these—they are great for making a bunch all at once too!
