TRICK OR TREAT SHAKER

 Hi everyone! Welcome back. I have another share for a challenge over at

The challenge: Halloween or cats

For my card I decided on a slimline shaker Halloween card. I've been really enjoying creating this new size card and with the help of some dies you can make them into multiple window shakers. 

I used a fun kit called GOT CANDY? from Close To My Heart. 

The only thing I used that wasn't part of this kit was the dies to create the front shaker panel. 

At first I wanted to stamp images and color them in and then I remembered the kit came with a sticker sheet and these pumpkins fit in great with the background paper I used. 

I took one of the sentiment strips and cut it to create the sentiment so that it would fit. To get the card base attached to the shaker I left the shaker window piece upside down and adhered the card base that way.

LOVE YOU MORE THAN CANDY CORN

 Hi everyone! I'm here today sharing a fun card I made using a variety of new products I've received over the last week. I am all about this time of year and seeing a fun candy corn stamp set is right up my alley!!

For this card I added two different challenges together. A sketch challenge and a color challenge. 

To be able to use all the colors (I know, there's only three lol) I decided to color my candy corn with the cajun craze as the bottom and the pumpkin pie as the middle and leave the top white. 

I did follow the sketch "loosely" to get the look I was going for. I wanted some type of shaped background so I searched through the cricut design center and found this web panel. Once I cut it out I adhered it over a piece of pumpkin pie cardstock and added it to my card base. 

I cut two 1/2" strips from cajun craze and mint macaron. One at 5 1/4" and one at 5" and lightly layered one over the other. 

Once I did that I stamped all of my images using my misti and then colored them all in. Once they were cut and colored I started creating my scene. After everything was adhered down I took my wink of stella glitter brush and added some glimmer to the spider web. 

I didn't want to use any other embellishments other than the candy corn pieces and the glitter brush. I love this card!!

CUTE HALLOWEEN EARRINGS AND BOXES

 Hi everyone! Welcome back! I have another great project for the

I had so much fun creating these earring boxes and earrings. I recently found some earring dies over at Taylored Expressions and couldn't wait to give them a try. And once I decided to make them the boxes using the dew drops just made sense.

I first started by looking up svg files to create the box. I started with the cricut design space but didn't find anything I really liked so I went to trusty google and found a great set of three over at ETSY. 

I took one sheet of patterned paper and cut the svg twice, flipping the paper over for the second one to get the other side as the outer design. 

Once I had my boxes cut I set to work decorating the outside of them. I added some die cut stickers that matched my paper and then took out my dew drops and added them. I used the CITRINE DIMOND DEW DROPS for my first box and ran them down the left hand side to create a nice border. 

For my second box I pulled out my OBSIDAN DIAMOND DEW DROPS and added them to two of the corners in a diamond pattern. 

Once I had the boxes put together I went about die cutting my earrings from different shades of leather and adding them to the hooks. 

I made the witchy pair first and all though I like them I wasn't thrilled with them so I made a second pair that are tear drops and love them!

BOO! EEK! WALL DECOR

Hi everyone! I'm back to share another fun project for

Today's project is all about Halloween! Fall is just around the corner and I can't wait. I love all things fall/Halloween (unless it's scary)! I had so much fun creating this wall decor. 

Directions:

1) Using embossing paste spread it through your chosen stencil and create your background. I used a brick stencil and silver embossing paste. 

2) Cut our your design either with dies or a cut machine. I used my cricut to cut out the large web, spiders, and words. I then used dies from Tim Hotlz for the pumpkins and ghosts.

3) Once all your die cuts are cut start by adhering your layering pieces (spiders and pumpkins) 

4) Take a blending brush and pumice stone distress ink and "distress" your spider web.Start off the image and using circular motions add the ink slowly. This will help you from getting harsh lines. 

5) Now your ready to start adhering your different elements to your base page. Place the spiderweb slightly to the right. Then start adhering your spiders, pumpkins, ghosts, and sentiments. I used a T-ruler to help line my words so they were straight.

6) All that's left to do is add any embellishments you'd like. I added some nuvo crystal gems for a bit of sparkle. 

Thanks for hanging out with me today! I hope you'll give this a try and get crafty!

SUPPLIES: 

Rinea~haunted variety foiled paper pack, violet/violet starstruck foiled paper

Prize: 3 digis of winners choice

Prize: L8 store voucher 

For my card today I am using Mummy Trick or Treat from Lemon Shortbread. When I saw that this was one of the images we could choose from I just had to use it. This is such a cute stamp!!

I used several different grey's to create the wrappings. I think I'm finally getting the hang of leaving a light source. I decided to cut him out so I could give some dimension behind him.

I used some black lace ribbon I've had in my stash for ever and created a "caution" banner style on the background. To add a tad more depth I used pumice stone distress ink on the edges of both the orange polka dot and the white web paper.

AHSC #284 Witchy Pup

I fell in love with this stamp set from Sparkle N Sprinkle at the Scrapbook Expo.  Sad to say I almost forgot I had it (woops).  I went to the booth 4 or 5 times before I even purchased it lol.  How could I forget it?!

This weeks sketch for Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge is a really nice one.  I decided to a Halloween card as it's October 1st! Woop! Can you believe that I have a neighbor that's had webs and ghosts in their yard since September 1st! Say what!! I'm all about this time of year and that's even to early for me.

Here is my card.  I used a web die for the background and let me tell you, it was a beast to get all those little pieces out.  No matter what I did it just wouldn't cut all the way through the sparkle paper (and I ran it through 4 TIMES).

FMS#354 Witches Hat

Good morning! I'm enjoying some much needed crafting time and getting to play with some of my new goodies! I love the upcoming season and couldn't wait to make something with this cute stamp set.

I found this sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches and it's perfect for what I wanted to do.

Here is my card.  I used and embossing folder and then I ran my ink pad over the embossed image to create some dimension.  Not sure why I never thought to do this before.  I'm loving how it makes it pop.

Supplies:

Stamp set: bad witch bundle 

Ink: cocoa powder, tangerine fusion, summer days

CS: cocoa powder, tangerine fusion, summer days, green olive, whip cream

ACCESS: black lace ribbon, spooky moon embossing folder

It's to Warm!!

It is so warm here in IL at the moment between the temps and the humidity it feels well over 100!  I felt the need to pull out some of my favorite Stamps By Judith stamps and create some "cooler" weather cards.

I did a Halloween tree and a snow globe. I like how both turned out but the Halloween card has a little stamping error but hey, who cares lol.

I did stamp the inside of both cards as well as layering them.  I like having full cards complete so I can just grab and go.
