Trick or Treat!




Wowzers! I haven't blogged in awhile. I've had some significant changes in my life over the past few months, so now it's time to get back to what I love.

I made some Halloween treat holders, courtesy of the video tutorial over at My Chic 'n Scratch (here).  It was great to use my Two Tags die finally! :)

The stamps are all Recollections/Michael's. I don't spend a lot of money on Halloween stamps, because I don't make Halloween cards. Actually, this is my first Halloween project.

I used my CTMH black ink for most of the stamping. But for the "Spooktacular" stamped image, I used CTMH smokey plum pigment ink, along with clear detail embossing powder (here). I love how it turned out. I also used Smokey Plum and White Daisy cardstock.

As for the patterned paper, stay tuned. For the life of me, I can't remember the names of the collections. But I will update that information :)  Patterned paper is by: EP The Apothecary Emporium, K&Company Brenda Walton Haunted Mat Pack, and Fancy Pants Designs October 31 (the latter two "borrowed" from my crafty friend Terri!)

How cute is the "Happy Halloween" one!? All the fussy cutting was worth it. I think that's my favourite.

Happy Tuesday!

Merry Christmas Slimline

I did another card from this week's  Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge  (sketch #469). This time, I did a Christmas card! I used Gina K's woodgraining technique (you can find a tutorial here ). I also used Distress Frosted Crystal embossing powder; here's a close-up of the effect: For the snowflakes and the sentiment, I cut the shapes out twice and glued them together to make them thicker. Very happy with how this one turned out! :) Supplies : Dies: Merry Christmas sentiment (unbranded), Tim Holtz Sizzix Holiday Greens Mini, Pink & Main Stitched Slimline, SU! Snowfall Thinlits Paper: SU! Mossy Meadow, Real Red and Very Vanilla cardstock, Recollections Gold Foil cardstock Ink: Distress Oxide Vintage Photo, SU! Crumb Cake Embellishments: Distress Frosted Crystal embossing powder, CTMH Gold Bling Gems

Christmas Vibes - in May?

I'm participating in the Spring/Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop .  My card is does not have a Spring/Summer theme - but it's never too early for Christmas, right?

You Did It!

It has been awhile since I participated in the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge , so yesterday I popped on to see what the sketch was this week. I need a graduation card for my niece who is graduating from elementary school this June, so I thought I'd allow this sketch to give me inspiration! This is what I came up with:  I made it in the school colours (red and gray).  This is also (I think) the first time I've ever made a slimline card. I like how it turned out! Supplies: Cardstock: Recollections Black and Gold Foil; SU! Real Red, Smokey Slate, and Whisper White; and Gina K Wild Dandelion Stamps: CTMH You Did It, Just a Little Something, and Time to Celebrate Dies: SU! Stitched Circles and unbranded slimline scalloped rectangle
