Finally Spilling the Beans...

Hello Oddballs!

Thank you for stopping by today, I wanted to reveal a secret that I have been keeping for far too long now, but I can finally shout if from the rooftops! 

Back in the summer Making Cards Magazine reached out to me and asked if I would like to submit a couple of Halloween card tutorials for their October issue again and of course I obliged!

If you were around here this time last year then you may remember the cards I submitted for the 2018 October Issue of Making Cards Magazine.   Also interactive, last year I created a couple of "reveal" cards and tutorials,  which you can check out HERE.

This year I was inspired by a card our Oddball Designer Susan had created using our Casey the Clown stamp with the same Dots & Doodles Digi Paper that I used in last years card.

For this years cards I used 2 stamp sets recently released in the shop this year 

Creepier the Cuter IMG#526 & Not Alive IMG#525

With the Peek A Boo Slider card the image magically changes as you open the card which allows for so  much creative design options to have fun with!

The pink card I used the Creepier the Cuter IMG#526 image set with the spider on the front which changes to the "Creepy Girls are the Cutest" sentiment when you open the card.  The girl, spider and sentiment are all included in this stamp set.

With the purple card I utilized both the creepy and cute versions of the girl in the Not Alive IMG#525 set so you see the cute girl on the front which turns into a zombie girl on the inside.

Check out both cards in action in my short video below......

and for a complete step by step tutorial showing exactly how I created these and how you can create your own version of this card design, plus lots more Halloween goodness.....

So, what do you think?  Are you a fan of interactive cards like I am?  Are you planning on trying out this Peek A Boo Slider card with your own design?  I can't wait to hear from you in the comments below....

Thank you so much for stopping by today!

Makes for Men Cards in the Making Card Magazine - Issue July ´18 with Pixie Pete

Hello Oddballs

It´s me, Tina:  Finally I can show you my cards which I created for the July issue of Making Cards.

I used the Oddball Image # 306 for all cards and then designed each one differently. 

"Snail Pixie Pete"

Here I have created the background with watercolor paints and

Pete here and on all other cards with Polychromos colored.

This card is a so-called CAS Card

what means 

Clean-And-Simple 

Card

Many of you know that I enjoy making steampunk cards.

And so the snail Pete had to be on this card, too.

Here I gave all them a rusty look, used small metallic and riveted bricks and 

many metal gears and other metal ornaments. 

I also put Pete a cylinder on and changed the shell.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * 

In the near future you will also find my video tutorial 

how to make the riveted bricks on our

Oddball-Art-TV

And because Making Cards from my cards has made a men's topic...

"Makes for men"

...did not fit my 3rd card in pink in the magazine.

Nevertheless, I would like to show you!

This is Pixie Pete in pink and with flowers.

Just a real girl card ...

I liked it wonderfully; 

but it is just not a men card 

and now on the way to Lizzy Love, 

as a belated birthday greeting!

Oddball New Release in the Making Cards Magazine October

Hello Oddballs

It´s me; Tina. I'm so excited...

Today I can finally tell you about my first publication in "Making Cards Magazine"

I chose Oddball's pictures,

what Lizzy has drawn especially for me.

"Sneek Peak"

The topics I have chosen by myself are Halloween and Steampunk

First, I introduce you to the Halloween cards.

(Attention: flood of images)

The coffin card

Here I designed the background with Brusho Colors and

a silver spider net stamped in silver.

The image is colored with polychromos

"Megan Macabre"

#382A

Purple Halloween

Again, I used Brusho Colors for the background and 

then structurecream applied with an stencil.

The image is colored with polychromos

"Megan Macabre"

#382B

Orange Halloween

This background has also been created with Brusho Colors on Glossy Paper and

then I sprayed black ink spray over it.

The image is colored with polychromos

"Megan Macabre"

#382A

Now go to my Steampunk cards

Dark Danger Card

Here I have glued aluminum tape to cardboard,

it is embossed and dyed with alcohol inks.

I colored the image on kraft paper.

I find that looks particularly interesting.

"Steampunk Sally"

#380B

The edges and letters were painted a bit with rust paint

Bright Danger Card 

For this background, I used a design paper from La Blanche.

This image is colored with polychromos

"Steampunk Sally"

#380A

The wooden letters are painted in gold

I hope you like my cards and I'm curious,
