Vintage Halloween

Happy Weekend!

So glad it is Saturday and I have a couple of days of to decompress.  

Teaching school this year is pretty interesting. Still Zooming, still teaching some kids in person and some at home. Crazy times we live in.

Thank goodness for family and stamping.  ;)

I used the FaDoodle Fall stamp in waterproof ink on water color paper. I used Karin Brushmarkers to color my pumpkins and such. The black panel behind the image was cut using the Wonky Stitched Rectangle Die. I pulled out some vintage sheet music and my very dusty sewing machine. I adhered everything with Crafty Foam Tape. I also added a bit of glitter under the sentiment. 

I wanted a few hearts so I used a few from the Sweetheart Sprinkletz collection.  I colored them black with a Copic marker before adhering them.

I am so glad you stopped by! Be sure to pop on over to Whimsy Stamps to see all of their new products! 

Have a great weekend!

 

31 Night of Halloween!

Hello friends! It's Michele here with another fun Halloween card to share! I absolutely love, love, love this Slimline Hourglass Die! It is the perfect backdrop for all of your spooky Halloween goodness! The "Glass" was cut out with vellum.  I cut the "sand" using orange card stock and used the Halloween Expressions Stencil to fill it in.  I added spiders and webs from Whimsy's new die set.  I applied crackle paste over my spider and let it do its magic.  Once dry, I rubbed black ink over it.  

I added the EEK! Word and Shadow Die and a few spider sequins, from the Sparkletz-Creepy collection,  to finish off the card. 

Thank you so much for stopping by on Day 19! :)

 

Whimsy's New Release

Hello and happy hump day!

Today is Whimsy's new release! We are switching gears a bit and looking ahead to Christmas! 

I adore this new stamp set called, Christmas Critter Wishes. I colored the image with Copic markers and fussy cut it.  I stamped sentiments from the ATC Sleigh Ride set and the Merry Christmas Sentiment Assortment set, on top of the new Slimline SurReally Cool Christmas papers/ 

I added white gel pen highlights, silk ribbon, snowflake sequins, and a couple of jingle bells to finish the card. :)

I always appreciate you stopping by!

Halloween Shadow Box

Hello friends!

I have a fun 3D shadow box using Whimsy Stamp's ATC Book Die Set.  I used it to create the box base and then topped it with a frame using the Zig Zag Stitched Rectangles Die.  I covered it with Crackle paste and Grit Paste both by Tim Holtz. Once it was dry I rubbed black ink over it. 

For the inside of the box I used the Howling Night Die Set. I added Crackle and Grit paste to the fence and mossy hill. I added a large spider web from the Spiders and Webs Die Set. The bats are from the Elvira Moonlighting Die Set. 

Thank you for stopping by! Be sure to stop by Whimsy Stamps to see all the fun Halloween products! 

 

Whimsy's New Release!

Hello!

Today is Whimsy's mid month release! And I know I sound like a broken record, but it is such an awesome release! So much goodness! Fall is my favorite season, so maybe that's why I am a bit partial. 

I used the new Leaf Frame and Die combo for today's card.  I stamped the leaves on water color paper in a no line ink.  I used my Karin Brushmarkers to bring it to life.  I added details with watercolor pencils.  I added a bit of glitter and glossy accents to the acorns. 

The inside was given a bit of color using Tim Holtz ink in Cracked Pistachio.  I stamped the sentiment using the new Slimline Pines stamp and last release's, Fill a Harvest Truck.  I adhered a few gold sequins and popped it up on black card stock.  

Thank you for stopping by today!

Abundant

Good morning!

I have a quick card to share with you today as I am heading to South Carolina to see my son.  He starts Power School on Monday, (He's in the Navy), and we won't have an opportunity to see him again until at least Christmas.  

On today's card I used Whimsy Stamp's, Fill a Harvest Truck.  Everything was colored with Copics.  The background was done with various Tim Holtz inks.  I added white gel pen dots to the sky and a few sequins. 

I tied a bit of twine and a couple of apples from the set.  And as my usual protocol I had to add a teeny white heart.  

Have a great day friends!

 

ATC Treat Boxes

Happy Tuesday to ya!

I have some fun treat boxes using the new ATC Book die set from Whimsy Stamps. I cut out the boxes and added a frame using the ATC Frames.  The paper is part of the Slimline paper, SurReally Cool Halloween. 

I distressed each frame by adding Grit Paste by Tim Holtz and then adding brown ink over it with my finger. I added images from the SurReally paper. I added some machine zig zag stitching around the perimeter of the image. The frame was added on top with Crafty Foam tape. 

I added a vintage button and some gold sequins I had in my stash. 

Thank you for stopping by!

Have a great day!
