Ok, so I have been having way too much fun today! And what is Halloween without a witch?? This again was inspired over on Gretchen Barron's blog and then again on Heather's blog so I had to try it! I hope you like!
Colors: old olive, basic black, whisper white
Accessories: wide oval punch, 1-1/4" circle punch, 3/4" circle punch, 1/2" circle punch, Big Shot, Top Note die
For the hat and hair I winged it! I believe the hair strips are about a 1/2".
I do have to say a big "SORRY" for not posting for so long! When one of my downline called to make sure that everyone was indeed ok, made me realize!! I do have some Christmas projects to post for all of you as well over the next couple of days! Anyway, here is my version of Count Dracula.
Colors: pale plum, basic black, whisper white
Accessories: Big Shot, Top Note die, wide oval punch, round tab punch, 1-1/4" circle punch, 3/4" circle punch, photo corners punch(bet you are wondering where I used that aren't you?) dab of real red ink on a stampin' sponge, white gel marker
For Count Dracula I sponged with pale plum ink along the edges. I also gave his eyes a lift with my white gel marker. I used the wide oval punch to make his hair. And the photo corners punch, this made his teeth! Since I am not that great at cutting in a straight line freehand, I needed some help! I punched out the images in whisper white and cut off the tips. Worked like a charm! Enjoy!!
Good morning all and thanks for stopping by! Everyone around here has been sick for almost 2 weeks off and on!! Or should I say the kids are taking turns!! Most are on the mend now though. Makes mom's day a little hectic to say the least. I have a couple of Halloween creatures to show you this morning. Firstly we have the Wolfman, I just love him! Let me know what you think.
Colors: close to cocoa, chocolate chip, basic black, whisper white
Accessories: Big Shot, Top Note die, round tab punch, large oval punch, 1-1/4" circle punch, 3/4" circle punch
I also used my stampin' sponges with the close to cocoa ink pad to age this project slightly. The mouth is drawn with my journaling marker! He is really quick and easy to put together. My hunny had a suggestion for what to do with all my characters, as soon as I put it together I will have pictures for you all. Have a great day!!
Wow! Is it Friday already?? Where did this week go? So excited, Thanksgiving weekend here in Canada! Lots of food, friends, family and just plain hanging out!! I had better remember to put the turkey in before bed tonight!!! Anyway, here is my spin on Frankenstein! Saw this over on Gretchen Barron's blog and loved it. So stinkin' cute!! I have another Halloween character or two to try today so keep posted! Enjoy!
Colors: old olive, pumpkin pie(the box in the middle), basic black
Accessories: Big Shot, Top Note Die, Round Tab punch, 1-1/4" circle punch, 3/4" circle punch, basic black journaler
This is very quick to put together! I also used my stamping sponges and old olive ink to edge all of my pieces. The hair was done free hand with my paper snips! Here is the back of the box! I didn't think to do this the other night! Have a great day!!
Here is a little box we did for a class! I do have to say I love these colors together!!
Colors: Bermuda Bay, Rose Red, Soft Suede
The designer paper is from the Thoroughly Modern pack, love the polka dots!! I used the Modern Label punch with the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set for the greeting. I also used my Big Shot with the Dasies #2 die. I used the 1" circle punch for my flower middle and a rhinestone brad. The box dimensions are 3-1/2"x3-1/2".
Enjoy!!
Happy Tuesday everyone! I hope everyone is enjoying their day so far! I have more painting to do!! I know, I am not done yet. It was so easy painting this kitchen before we moved in, now it's trying to move everything out of the way!! But I do love the Tangerine color in there!! Anyway, on to today's project.
Colors: Brocade Blue, Whisper White
The picture is a little fuzzy, click on it to put it into a new window and it should look clearer! I used the Dasher and Four the Holidays stamp sets for this one. I also used my new toy, Petals a Plenty embossing folder for the Big Shot! I love it!! This folder I kept seeing on Heather's blog and had to get one, not that I didn't want it in the first place, lol!! So I ran my whisper white through the folder, I embossed Dasher with Brocade Blue craft ink and iridescent ice emboss powder, stamped my greeting using basic black and the Four the Holidays set, used some 1/4" white grosgrain with the Crop-a-dile to make the holes! Have a wonderful day!
Here is another project that my teen stampers did on their last stampin' night! I got the inside idea from another blog(it was her downline I believe) Pretty cool!
Colors: perfect plum, old olive, basic black, pumpkin pie
I used my 1-3/4" circle punch along with my treat cups, pumpkin pie 1/4" grosgrain, silver brad, Halloween dsp(can't remember the name!), white StazOn ink for the ghosts. You can see how the back opens to get the treats out, what a genius idea!!! This card size is 4"x4". Not sure why I can't seem to get my pics to line up the way I want them to today, remember you can click on them to make them bigger in a new window! Have a great day!!
Happy Wednesday everyone! Hope everyone is having a great day so far!! Chance of more rain here, didn't think it could rain this many days in a row! So excited, this Friday and Saturday is my fundraiser for the Elgin County Women's Shelter!! I still have a couple of spots left if anyone is interested, cost is $35 with $15 going to the shelter and we will make 15 cards! You can e-mail me at stampinwithbecky@AOL.com or give me a call 519-652-5979. So here is another card we will be making this weekend! Enjoy! I have much more to show you all today!!
Good Monday morning all! It is a little damp and dreary this morning but it hasn't rained here in a month!! Friday night was my Teen Stampin' Night! A lot of fun as always!! This is one of the projects we did, perfect for Haloween treats. I believe I saw something like this last year, pretty sure it was on Heather's blog! So stinkin' cute!!
The only ink pad we used was creamy caramel. I cut strips of whisper white and we aged them with a sponge and the caramel ink. We then placed them randomly on another piece of aged whisper white cardstock. We adhered them to the bag(just a brown paper bag) using sticky strip. For the eyes we used the 1-1/4" and 3/4" circle punches. Enjoy your day!
So now that I am finally "playing" with this stamp set I am loving it! This pic is a little blurred, I seriously don't know how I do that so often!
Colors: bashful blue, not quite navy, always artichoke
This is one of my favorite color combos for winter! I used the bashful blue designer prints paper, craft in along with iridescent ice emboss for the ornaments, the Ornament Punch of course and some whisper white 1/4" grosgrain ribbon. Have a great day!
