Halloween Cards 2

Hello!

My last post I showed you a couple Halloween cards.

Today I have the other 2 that I made to share with you.

I started with this background piece that I had in my stash.

I used alcohol inks on a coffee filter, then cut the filter

to size and adhered it to a piece of card stock.
When I was ready to use it, I ran it through my Cuttlebug

in an embossing folder to get some texture.

I stamped the witch with black ink and colored in the

other areas with colored pencils.
Once it was fussy cut, it was adhered to the card.

For the sentiment, I stamped the spider web, then

the greeting and fussy cut around some of the web.

I used the same web stamp for the BOO greeting

for the inside sentiment.

Used the same witch stamp for this card and adhered it

to an alcohol inked background along with the sentiment.

Inside I used the same stamps and added some other 

spider webs in the corners.

I loved making these cards, my biggest problem

is deciding which kids get which cards.

I'm glad you stopped by today and hope you have 

enjoyed it and have been inspired in some way.

Hope you'll come again soon.

Until then,

enjoy the season!

 

Tie Dye Card

Hi blog friends!

For Easter I tried something different for coloring

my eggs.  I wrapped the eggs in a coffee filter,

then dripped food coloring onto the filter.

I left them sit for a while in a plastic bag.

This is the effect I got.

I saved the coffee filters to use on 

some cards.

This is the card that I made the other day

with the dyed coffee filter.
I really like it.

I think it will be sent to my granddaugher, Marie with

"You make my heart smile." 
inside.  I think it's a very happy card.
I haven't used the other filter yet, I'm sure I'll

end up making a card with it one day.

Thanks for spending part of your day with me,

I hope you'll stop by again soon.
Until then,
use something you'd usually throw away for 

a card or other project.

 

Dress Card

Hello blog friends!

Today I'm showing you a card I made for my 

Godchild, Andrea.

Andrea turned 4 the other day and there was a 

party on Sunday.

She is a very girlie girl and loves her dress up 

clothes and her Barbies.

I thought this card turned out perfect for her.

I already had a pattern that I had created for 

another project for the bodice of the dress,

so I traced that onto some card stock and cut it out.

For the skirt, I used a coffee filter.

I simply folded it a few times until it was the

size I needed, folded over the point 

that was the center of the filter,

wrapped it around the bodice and 

used ATG tape to adhere it.

I cut a scallop along the bottom and used

a gold pen to make dashes around the skirt to 

finish it off.

The 'belt' is some twisted cording/beading that

I had in my stash.

I had picked up a paper stack around Christmas

time for a very reasonably price, that was all 

gold foiled papers, the background paper is from that

stack, I don't remember the company name on it, but I 

picked it up at Michael's

The "Happy Birthday" is 

heat embossed with WOW

gold glitter embossing powder.

I think the card was a big hit,

I love how it turned out.

My niece said it was perfect for Andrea.

Thanks for stopping by today,

hope you will come again soon.

Until then, Happy Crafting!
