Boo

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

Halloween is almost upon us.

Again, my friend Michele sparked an idea with this card and the vellum ghost.

My ghosts were die cut from white cardstock and twice from vellum

I didn't want the BOO cut out of the vellum so I taped a piece of cardstock behind the

BOO on the die.  It embossed a little, but easy to hide.

I used some snippets of glitter paper and a lighter purple for the letters.

I used an old spider web stamp that I've removed from the block and inked with 

silver ink.  Then I laid the paper on the stamp to ink it up 

and heat embossed with clear powder.

When I set this on my desk, the vellum ghosts light up for a nice spooky look.

Duck Tape Meets Alcohol Ink

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

A couple of months ago our Craft Group added alcohol ink to

embossed Duck Tape.

Our demo leader had mounted Duck Tape on cardstock and dry embossed it

for us to work on.

We added alcohol ink over the top and were then to trim off the cardstock

edges.  I liked the look so I didn't trim.

It took a while to figure out what I wanted to do with the  piece.

It kept whispering to me "globe".

Then the whispers got louder and finally I listened.

I've had this stamp and die set in my NBUS box for quite a while.  It 

was way past time to use it.

I die cut the globe and stand from a snippet of brushed silver cardstock

and added it over a circle cut from a piece in the background box.

(I have boxes and boxes of stuff I need to use!)

The sentiment was stamped with VersaMark and heat embossed

with Pewter Embossing Powder.

I thought it was a good match for the embossed design and I have

another masculine card for my stash.

Hooray for another way to use Duck Tape!

Challenges:

Cardz 4 Guys - Add Texture to Your Card

The Male Room - Dry Embossing

Snippets - Where Sarn is hosting this time. (I used a snippet for the die cut globe)

Easter Basket

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

Hippity, Hoppity, Easter's on it's way!

The background is from one of the cards in my recent class.  I remembered this basket

die that I've had for ages, cut it from a snippet of brown cardstock and filled it

with some die cut eggs also left over from class.  I die cut some of these sweet

bunnies last year when a friend lent me her die.

It's been a busy couple of weeks with a class and hosting our Craft Group!

Here's the project I had the gals do in Craft Group.

This was my demo.

Sorry I didn't get pictures of everyone's finished project.

They were awesome and each had it's own personality!
