Gift box by ~*Arwen*~

 Hi peeps :)

Welcome back on this Blog.

Today I'm here with a tiny box, which I needed for a little present.




And that's how I made it:

1.) I need two pieces of cardstock in the following sizes.



2.) I cut and fold the larger piece using the sizes entered.



3.) I do the same thing with the small piece.



4.) Folded and glued, I now have a small box with a lid.



5.) Now I want to decorate my box even more, so I cut appropriately sized pieces of watercolor paper.



6.) First I prime all parts with a rich yellow.



7.) I shade the edges of each piece with a dark pink.



8.) To stamp the pieces, I choose a chalk ink pad.



9.) I stamp a saying on the largest piece of paper using VersaFine Clair. It also serves as the lid of the box.



10.) Before I stick everything on, I add a few spritzes of Dylusions Shimmer Spray.



All stamps, I used:

- You are beautiful

- Swirl

Other supplies:

- Cardstock

- Watercolorpaper

Balancing Bones.... by Tracy Blackwolf

 Hello Everyone!! Happy Fall!

I made a card for my project today~Enjoy!

For the background I used Three mica stain sprays. I started with the yellow, Then covered it while I sprayed the Orange one  And then sprayed the iron one. I used a paint brush to move them around the card to get the coverage I wanted.

I dried it with the heat tool and then I sprayed some water drops all around the card. to get the mottled look.
While I waited for that to do its thing, I fussy cut all the skulls and bones. Good thing I have many years of practice with that because that little skeleton was a challenge.
I used three colors of distress spray stain as watercolor paints for all of the bones.
The bottom skull is taped flat, then all others have foam tape with the skeleton have two layers. I wish the dimension showed better in photos.
I debated having a spider hanging from his hand, would be cute yet I like the simplicity of it as is.
I hope you enjoyed!

Stamps used:
Skull   2403
Realistic skull    19724
Creepy skeleton specimen     20684
Humerus bone   19728

Other supplies:
Distress mica stain: Harvest moon, iron gate, burning ember
Distress spray stains: Scorched timber, vintage photo, antique linen

"Is it Wine o'clock yet?" - by Fran Chalmers

Hi everyone!

Today I have made a card which reflects how I've been feeling this week, lol!


To make the background I smooshed Distress Oxide ink in Seedless Preserves and water onto some card.


Once it was dry, I inked the clockface in Seedless Preserves Distress Oxide, then spritzed it with water before stamping it onto the card to give a blurry image.  I dried it with a heat gun.


I stamped my main image on some thick paper with Versafine Clair in Nocturn, coloured it and fussy cut it out.


I stamped a few background stamps in Seedless Preserves to give some texture, then stamped my sentiments and cut them out.  I glued the sentiments and image onto the card, went round the edge with a black marker pen and mounted onto card.


 
Stamps Used:

Other items used:
Distress Oxide ink in Seedless Preserves
Versafine Clair Nocturn
Colouring pens
Black marker pen

Is Pumpkin Spice a Carb? by Madisen

Today on the blog I have a Trick or Treat card perfect to spook! Tip: don't be like me and make sure the ink to the silhouette is totally blacked out. I see I could have done a few more stamps, but art isn't perfect I suppose! Happy Stamping!




 I started with picking out the



I took a blank sheet of paper and taped it to my craft glass to try and buff out some color to make grass


I then flipped it opposite, taped off a circle for the moon, and began buffing some spooky nighttime sky scene. 


After that was revealed, I went in with a Typeset Scallop for the grass effect


I finished up with the Plus Sign Background and Writing Triangles




Lastly I finished up with the too-cute Is Pumpkin Spice a Carb?

Cauldron Bubble!

 Hey Stampaholics! Today I'm back with a whimsical Halloween Card! This time of year is all too fun! I hope you enjoy and get inspo for some of your projects!





I began by stamping these two images, coloring them with alcohol markers and fussy cutting them.




I then did some background art with distress oxide and distress ink by Tim Holtz. To finish it off I added some background stamps listed below. 







I didn't have any Halloween verbiage or sayings that I was fond of for this piece, so I took my hand crank label maker by Dymo and printed away.

Hi, my crafty friends.

 

It’s time to start into my favorite season.

 

I created an ATC using the dictionary page stamp as a background (so versatile) and of course a fitting sentiment for the worried little mice.
