Late Halloween fun

I made these cards for Halloween, but never posted them.  I will try to fill in the blanks as to what manufacturer, etc as I figure it out!  Thanks for understanding.

The above card uses a die from Frantic Stamper called Witch Riding Broom and can be found here.

The next three cards use paper from My Mind's Eye and can be found here. No need to embellish as the glitter is already on the paper. Super easy to make these cards!

 

And last, but not least a card that uses Stampin' Up paper called Motley Monsters.  I never bought the paper.  This is actually the bottom of a page in a magazine that comes to demonstrators called Stampin' Success.  The letters are cut from Sizzix dies called Little Letters Thinlits Die also available from Stampin' Up. Have a Fabulous Day - Heidi

Bleachy Bones

As promised I present another bleach card.  I saw this stamp set at Michael's and had to have it, of course.  With my 50% off coupon it was only $2.00!  It is made by Recollections and called Haunted.  I tried embossing in white on black cardstock, but it looked globby.  Then I embossed it black on black cardstock, but when I painted with bleach it didn't turn the paper white.  I am sure it was the paper.  I decided to try stamping and embossing in black on Rich Razzleberry.  Oh yes, that worked nicely!

Any little bleach overspills were nicely cleaned up with a Rich Razzleberry marker.  You can't even tell where I "cleaned up" my lines - promise.  The sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Wishes.  I don't think it turned out too bad.  Of course it is much better IRL. - Heidi

Happy Halloween on New Years?

I found these items at my local Goodwill.  The owl be seeing you punch was $6.99 and the spider stickers were $0.99.  I thought the punch was a bit pricey, but my husband encouraged me to get it.  What could I do, but oblige him?

Card Size: A2

Cardstock: Night of Navy, Daffodil Delight and Chocolate Chip textured.

Ink: Jet Black Staz-On,  Vegas Gold all-purpose ink from Tsukineko, black acrylic paint for the branch.

Stamp: Essential Sentiments from A*muse Studios.

Other: Maya Road chipboard (Birds & Branches?), 2 1/2" circle punch, Owl Be Seeing You punch from Fiskars.

I am loving the color combination on this card to bring out the jeweled accent on this K & Company sticker!

Card Size: 5 X 7.

Cardstock: Concord Crush & Cajun Craze.

Paper: The insert behind the stickers in the pack!

Stamp: Essential Sentiments from A*muse Studios.

Other: Art Deco corner punch from EK Success & sticker from K & Company.

Have a happy & creative New Year - Heidi

From Halloween coasters

While wandering through Jo-Ann's the other day I came across this pack of six Halloween coasters.  I am not one to complain especially when the price is 50 cents!  So I made six cards from them.  Not awesome, but they'll do.

Thanks for looking - Heidi

Some older stuff to finally put up!

First up is an attempt at a Christmas card! The jumping reindeer was a coaster from Hobby Lobby. The colors don't quite match any SU colors. I might have to use them as coasters because I wasn't crazy about this card! Wait a minute, what about ornaments? Hmmmm..

My attempt at an evil owl -ouch. This failed miserably - let's move on shall we?

Below is the invite Xavier got for his friend's 8th birthday party. Above is the card I made for him to give back to his friend for his birthday. Double embossed the back with the spider web folder. It looked awesome & watch out because here comes the Spider-Man!

We have Dish Network. This was a channel schedule from Dish Network that I cleverly turned into a birthday card. Phineas and Ferb are actually kind of funny. Enjoy the mish mosh and have a great night. - Heidi

Halloween goodies

First up is a pumpkin box using the fancy favor die from Stampin Up. I punched the face out using the large Jack-o-Lantern punch from EK Success. You have to fold the flap up and punch through it in order to get to the front of the box BTW. Then I glued a piece of black cardstock on the inside, but you could do yellow or glow-in-the-dark too! You could punch the pieces out in black and just glue them on for ease of assembling the box also. Then I used my retired horizontal slot punch from Stampin' Up to make a slot in the front and back of the box. Then I pulled my ribbon through and tied it with some hemp twine. I think he is super cute! I stuffed him with chocolate for the neighbor girls.

While browsing at Hobby Lobby (dangerous, I know) I came across these two stamps. The skeleton is from Stampabilities and the saying (below) is from Print Works Collection. The die is Two Tags from Stampin' Up. It was missing something at the top so I punched out a circle (1 3/8") in YoYo Yellow and layered it under the bat punch from Stampin' Up. The bat is retired, but it is still available on the Clearance Rack on SU's site - quick! The skeleton is embossed in white and looks pretty cool if I do say so myself. - Heidi

Jack-o-Lantern card

I saw this punch at Jo-Ann's in Racine. They had the punch one time. For weeks I went back and the hook was there, but the punch was not. This punch is from EK Success. I don't believe EK did a good job marketing these new punches. I haven't see them anywhere except on-line. I purchased mine on www.franticstamper.com.

I used Tangerine Tango cardstock from Stampin' Up. Then I scored it every half inch with my Scor-pal. I took a small piece of Barely Banana and punched the face out of it also. Then I glued the Barely Banana to the back so it'd look like the pumpkin was carved. It occured to me that he needed a stem! A piece of Old Olive ribbon tucked in at the top. Then I mounted it on black cardstock and I was done.

Thanks for visiting!
