Fun Stampers Journey Skeletons Dance Scrapbook Embellishments

How many of you scrapbook?  I love making all the cute little embellishments that go onto scrapbook pages.  Today I wanted to share some that I created using the Skeletons Dance Stamp and Die set, BD-0425.  This little dancing skeleton is way to cute. 

 

 

 

I mean, who wouldn't love this little guy?!!  I paired him with a traditional Halloween color scheme, Black Licorice, Tangerine Orange, and Deep Lilac cardstock. 

 I wanted to make a festive banner for my scrapbook page, so I grabbed the 1-1/4" Pennant Punch and the 1-1/2" Pennant Punch .  I just love how easy these punches make everything.

 

 

 

I also used the 2" scalloped punch and circle punches for the other 2 embellishments.  Remember the Boo from yesterday's post?  Guess what?  I used it again along with the bat from the Snapshot Frames Die DI-0045.  I use this die all the time for creating holiday embellishments. 

 

 

 

To finish everything off, I added a coat of Journey Glaze to the bat and the boo, love that shiny gloss look it gives to the finished product.

 

Thanks for stopping by,

Witches Boot with Jack O Lanterns

Hello Creative Friends

 

Today I pulled out another favorite Fun Stampers Journey Halloween stamp set, Jack o Lanterns, and paired it with a fun FSJ die, Chubby Witches Boot.

 

I just love how the Jack O Lantern's faces are all separate from the pumpkins, that way you can mix and match the faces!  Check out those "floating" ghost faces I used in the background. 

 

And the Chubby Witch Boot die is pretty versatile also!  Last year I cut two of them and sandwiched a box between them for fun table decoration.

 

 

Thank for stopping by,

Zombie!!!

I have another step by step Halloween card to share today.

 

Isn't it stinking cute???  I started with a piece if velum- yes, velum is back!!! And pulled out my Journey Grand machine and a new die- Spider Web, DI-0107.

I used my Bloom Tool to clean out all the little pieces and then adhered it to some Pretty Pansy CS that I had embossed with  the Ink Splash embossing folder, EF-0008 and inked with Whip Cream ink.

 

 

I stamped the Zombie image from the Trick or Treat set- SS-0084.

I colored him using my Fusion Blender and the following reinkers.  Sweet Pear, Tangerine Fusion, Lemon Grass, Oatmeal Cookie, Pretty Amethyst, Bubble Gum, and Pineapple Smoothie.  I also stamped the pumpkin from the same set and colored him.  I die cut the Zombie out with the matching die, but hand cut the pumpkin out because I didn't want a border.

I used the tag punch on a scrap of Lemon Grass paper.  Notice how I inked the edges to make it look scary?

I finished the card off by adding Journey glaze and sparkle dust into the spider web.  You can find all of the products used on my website,

Scene Building

Today I am sharing a simple technique in scene building.  

At first glance, this card might look a bit hard to create, but it really isn't!  I combined several different stamp sets to create a one of a kind scene.  I started with the moon and cat from the Which Witch set SS-0088-( it has a matching die also!!!!, DI-0069, that I used for the cat). I stamped both of them on a Whip Cream 3-3/4 x5 piece of CS.

 

I also added the tree from the Monster Mash set SS-0058.  Then I sponged Banana Cream ink, Pretty Amethyst ink, Lavender Fusion ink, and Green Olive too create the ground and sky.

 

 

 

I stamped, die cut and colored the pumpkins from Ghostly Haunts SS-0179 to complete the scene.  

 

Thanks for stopping by today and remember that the 20% off all Halloween and Fall Stamps is good thru October 31!

Haunted Screams

Today I am sharing a card I made for a Swap.  I used the Haunted Screams stamp for my focal point.  It is on SALE and You still have time to order it for Halloween!

 

I stamped the crow with Black Licorice ink and masked off a circle to sponge the moon in.  I used Banana Cream ink for the moon.  The rest of the background was sponged with Pretty Amethyst, Lavender Fusion, and Denim Days ink pads.

 

 

Have a wonderful Weekend!

Creepy Crawly Treat Box

Today I'm sharing a cute Halloween Treat Box.

 

I used the Creep Crawly Stamp set on this project and guess what???? It's on SALE this month!!!!  If you need help placing a order, contact me and I can help.

 

I started with a sheet of Tangerine Fusion 8.5x11 cardstock and my Treat Box die DI-0006.  I made sure to position the die as close to the end of the cardstock because I wanted to use the left over for the backing piece on the box.  Then I pulled out my Tagged Pocket die DI-0001 and centered it on my scrap of Tangerine Fusion and ran it thru my Journey Grand machine.  Next I pulled out a scrap of Black Licorice cardstock and die cut it with my Spider Web die DI-0107.

Assemble the Treat box leaving the opening on the long end.  Adhere your Spider Web to the front of your box.

 

Now you are going to take your Tag Die cut and position one of the Journey Piercing Circle dies DI-0039 on the center curve of your pocket. ( Notice how I didn't do such a good job of centering it) You can adhere it to the back of your Treat Box.  There will be a small piece sticking out of the bottom, I thought it made it look a little like a grave marker, so I left it.

 

 

I then stamped the smallest web from the Creep Crawly set SS-0218 with Orange Creamcicle ink and then overstamped the creep crawly in Black Licorice ink onto Whip Cream cardstock.  Using a 1" circle punch I punched it out and popped it up on the top of the tag.

 

 

Stamp the largest spider with Black Licorice onto Whip Cream cardstock.  Fussy cut him out.  Pop him onto his web.  As a finishing touch, I added googley eyes, journey glaze and glitter.

 

I'm pretty sure the neighborhood kids will enjoy this treat!

Friday Make and Take

Hello Friends.  Things have been a little crazy here.... so I am just a tad late on posting my Friday Make and Take.  Friday Make and Takes are just a mini project I host at my house on most Fridays.  This weeks project is Halloween inspired.

 

How Stinking Cute is the Cupcake card?????  I just knew when I went to Yummy and Delicious a few weeks back that I would be using that cupcake from the  Yummy and Delicious set, (SS-0156) for all kinds of cards!  This week I mixed it with the spider from the Creep Crawly set, (SS-218).  The stripes are from my favorite background stamp, Striped Love, (SS-0181)  I die cut the cupcake with the Yummy Cupcake die (DI-0053) out of a patterned paper in the Treat Time paper pack, (PP-0016).

 

 

The second project is using the new Chubby Witch Boot die, (DI-0131).  I love that it comes with the embossing plate also.  I cut 2 of the boots and made a little box to glue between them so I could put some Lavender Fusion cardstock I cut with Fringe Scissors.
