EEK!

Hello and welcome, 

I think this will be the last Halloween card for this season….

Made with Tim Holtz products. 

This is a card where I used the cool Skulls texture fade 3D. 

I started with the background, watercolor cardstock, Distress Oxide and the 665771 Skulls 3D folder.

I stitched around the edges with my sewing machine. I also used Distress crayon Walnut stain.

On the EEK! word I used Distress Mica stains, and highlighted with white Posca pen. 

I used 3D foam when mounted all the diecut details. All the diecut details is inked/colored with Distress inks. 

I mounted the card on a piece of sanded orange metallic Kraft stock. The to a black card blank.

I used the same images inside this card as in my last blogpost.

“Happy Halloween” stamped and embossed in white, CMS138 Apothecary.

Peekaboo stencil THS169, Distress Grit paste glow!

Boo

Hello and welcome, 

Today I will share a tag I made with Tim Holtz products, the new Halloween dies and stamps. 

I started with the background , a piece of Watercolor cardstock and used the talented Tami B’s ”iron-off embossing” technique. I used the stamp CMS466 Shattered, then some of the new Mica spray’s. 

I used the spray as spray and also to splatter on top of the background. 

I stitched around the edges with my sewing machine and then used Black soot Distress crayons, also around the edges. After I colored the spider I used a this black pen and did some decoration. 

I diecut all the pieces from Watercolor cardstock (accept from the background for the text ”boo”, the skull’s eyes and bats. For them I used Ideaology Blackout paper which I sanded). 

All the white diecuts is colored with Distress inks. ”Boo” is colored with Spiced marmalade” Distress ink, then embossed with Wild honey Embossing glaze. On top of that, Distress crayon in Walnut stain. I inked all edges on the diecuts with Ground espresso Distress ink. 

I used white Posca pen to ”highlight” the bats and inside the letters on ”boo” 

For the small text I used CMS409 Tiny text Halloween, stamped it on a piece of Watercolor cardstock with Archival ink in Black soot. Inked the edges with Distress ink Ground espresso. Then I used mini fasteners to adhered the sentence to the background. The other pieces accept from the bats are adhered with 3D foam. I used gule for the bats. 

I mounted the background on a piece of sanded orange Kraftstock, with 3D foam. Then adhered to a black cardblank, also with 3D foam. 

I will try this card over at Simon Says stamp - Text it.

Halloween tag

Hello and welcome, 

I was so inspired after Tim’s Halloween Hoopla so I wanted to make some Halloween makes, and this tag is one of them. I have used Tim’s products.

I started with a No 8 Mixed media tag, and used some mini stencils and Black texture paste.

I sprayed the tag with some Mica stains. Stitched around the edges with my sewing machine and also inked the edges with Black Distress ink and Distress crayon.

I stamped the text and spider web image from the new Halloween stamp sets on the background. 

Then I stamped the skull, spider and candle on watercolor paper and colored them with Distress inks and Mica stain. I used Glossy accent on the candle flame and on the spiders head.

Here you can see the stamped text better in the lower left corner.

I mounted all images with 3D foam for dimension. I used Black soot Distress ink around all the edges.

All images are fuzzy cut accept from the spider. I used a knife to cut out the spider. I put a Hex fastener in the eye of the skull. 

“Immortal beauty….” is a Clipping sticker Halloween which I inked the edges on and mounted with 3D foam. I put a piece of inked string in the top hole.

I will try this tag over at Simon says stamp Monday challenge - Add some texture.

Edison in the Moonlight

Hello and welcome, 

I am fortunate to have been asked to have some classes at my local craft store. And this is one of the makes I have teached. 

In the classes I use Tim Holtz products and this time I used the new pumpkin die Edison, Moonlight, the new Grit paste glow and the new Distress Mica stains. 

The “students” was able to choose if they wanted to make it as a home decor piece or a card. 

We used the Grit paste glow on the moon and on the eyes and mouth on Edison. 

I will try this card in the “Add som texture” challenge over at Simon says stamp Monday challenge. 

Thank you for visiting!
