Halloween BOO Layout!

Hello and Happy Halloween!!

I thought that since today is Halloween it would be a great time to share this layout with you. This is a picture of my youngest son and myself at his Cub Scout Halloween party a few weeks ago. All of the boys dressed up and some of the parents did too. Check out the bling on my face--it's Finesse Swirls Black Rhinestones and 72 Count Purple Rhinestones! Now that is thinking outside the box and taking it off the page LOL!

To start I used Style D Chipboard Embellishments, inked them with Tuxedo Black and then added 72 Count Lavender Rhinestones from Want2Scrap™and Pralines & Cream Fairy Dust Glitter from Clearsnap.

Next I created several Halloween die cuts using S4-279 Graveyard Scenes and Shapes, S4-280 Halloween Scenes and Shapes, S4-282 Witches Brew, S4-277 Nested Bats die templates from Spellbinders™. Then I lightly inked them with Brilliance Starlite Silver to make the embossing pop.


I created a border along the bottom of the layout with the Halloween die cuts.

I added Ranger Orange Peel Stickles to the window in the haunted house and Flower Soft Sage for the grass.

Thank you so much for stopping by today! I hope you all have a Happy, Fun & Safe Halloween!!

Hugs,

Cute & Quick Halloween Card - Exciting Announcment

Hello Blogging friends! Just one more quick Halloween card to share with you. I can't believe how fast the month of October flew by!!

The card base is a Soot (black) paper from Discount Cardstock and the pattern paper is from Echo Park the Apothecary Emporium 6 x 6 Paper Pad.

Crafty Secrets Rose Music Note Cards

Hello Blogging Friends! Today, I have a set of four greeting cards using Crafty Secrets Creating with Vintage Patterns CD, Grand Greetings and Mini Frames Stamp Sets.


I just love the shabby chic look for this card set! I used the Creating with Vintage Patterns CD to design the pattern paper. I used the Music Notes and then layered Rose Clusters on the top.

I used the image of the postage stamp from the Mini Frames stamp set from Crafty Secrets and then I used S4-348 Postage Stamps die templates to create the die cut shapes.


I used Grand Greeting stamp set from Crafty Secrets for all of the sentiments.


Next I added a seam binding bow and some twine, punched a hole in the faux postage stamp and tied a bow.


For a finishing touch I added a charm, glitter and some pearls.

Using the Creating with Vintage Patterns CD allowed me to design my own pattern paper and these cards came together so quick and easy! Thank you so much for stopping by today and I hope you have a wonderful weekend!!

Hugs & Smiles,
Heidi

JustRite Stampers - New Release - Fleur de Lis Labels Twenty

Good morning blogging friends! Before we start the November Release, JustRite would like to say thank you to all of our loyal blog and facebook fans!!

Here is the card that I designed using CL-02210 Fleur de Lis Labels Twenty from JustRite Stampers. I am totally loving the November New Releases!!


I started by stamping the two label images with Frost White ink on to Kraft paper from Discount Cardstock. I heat set the ink for faster drying time because it's pigment ink. Then I used S5-026 Labels Twenty die templates from Spellbinders to cut/emboss the shapes and I used Rich Cocoa Ink to edge the die cuts.


For the pattern paper I used My Mind's Eye Lost & Found Two Blush Collection. To add the scalloped ribbon along the bottom I used the Sew Ribbon Tool from We R Memory Keeper. I love this new little tool--it is so easy to use!


I added a white crepe paper ruffle around the largest label. The crepe paper ruffles are so easy yo do, just get a roll of crepe paper from the party section at a dept store (streamers). The crepe paper comes in many different colors and if you can't find the color you are looking for then get white and you can ink to spray mist the color to match your project. I added Pralines & Cream Fairy Dust Glitter from Clearsnap to the ruffle edge and the smaller label.


Using the stamps I created a border along the bottom of the paper and then I added Baby Bling LeCreme Pearls from Want2Scrap™.


Here is a close up of the pretty little butterflies I added to the top corner with pearls.


Here is a close up of the stamped images. I added a seam binding bow, pink crochet flower, rhinestone button and a trinket pin. I am so fortunate my aunt Gail makes all of my pretty crocheted flowers and I love using them on projects!



Here is a close up of the border along the bottom. I just love the look of the stamped images, ribbon and pearls!

I have to tell you I just absolutely LOVE the CR-02245 Botanical Butterflies stamp set!! It is Gorgeous!! I love butterflies so I was very excited to see this stamp set.


I started by stamping one of the images from the CR-02245 Botanical Butterflies set using Rich Cocoa ink.

I created a felt butterfly die cut using LF-006 Wonderful Wings and I added glitter to the felt butterfly and the stamped image.


I used the solid butterfly die template from the same die set to cut/embossed a the shape using old book pages. I layers the butterflies and added Light Coral Pearls from Want2Scrap™ to the center.


Here is a close up of the butterfly image.


I also created die cuts using S5-041 Floral Doily Motifs and S5-059 Ironwork Motifs die templates. Check out that Gorgeous lace trim!! I have to give a Huge Thanks to my aunt Gail for scoring that!!

Crafty Secrets Design Team Gift Bag/Envelope Challenge

Good morning blogging friends! Today, is the Crafty Secrets Design Team monthly challenge. For this month Sandy and Vicki challenged us to make a gift bag using an envelope. Click HERE to watch a video on how to make the gift bags using an envelope! Each of the Design Team Members picked a theme for their project and I picked Halloween.


I made a Halloween treat bag and a matching Halloween Tag for my project.


I started with a 6 1/4'' x 6 1/4'' envelope. I sealed the envelope and then cut off the fold at the top allowing for the opening. Then I scored the three sides with the folds at 1/2''. To create the decorative edge I used E8-001 Classic Scallop Edgeabilities® from Spellbinders™ and then I inked all the edges with Old Paper Distress Ink.


The pattern paper is from the Creating with Vintage Patterns CD from Crafty Secrets and I inked the edges with Dusty Concord Distress Ink.


I used some of the images and chipboard pieces from Crafty Secrets Halloween Vintage Postcard Kits to embellish the treat bag.


I layered the papers, chipboard pieces and a few Halloween die cuts as shown. Then I added green trim and black lace to the top of the treat bag. I added some Purple Rhinestones along the scalloped border and then I added some glitter for a little sparkle and filled the treat bag with some yummy chocolate!


To create the tag I started with a piece of Simply Smooth Ivory and stamped several images from the Costume Cuties Stamp Set from Crafty Secrets. Then I inked the edges with Old Paper Distress Ink.


I used Copic markers to color the images.


I layered the papers, added glitter and rhinestones as shown and then I added green trim and black lace to the top and bottom of the tag.


In this picture you can see some of the sparkle from the glitter.
