Card for National Card Making Day!

I almost forgot that today is National Card Making Day so of course I had to make a card.  I coloured up this super sweet image from Saturated Canary - Crisscross Applesauce!

The stamps and burlap flower used all came from the Not2Shabby shop on Zibbet - check out the store here!

Fun with the Envelope Punch Board

So I finally broke down and bought the envelope punch board and all because of Bona at LiveLoveScrap.  She has made some truly amazing projects and I wanted to get it on it :-)

So the first thing I did was make some envelopes - of course, it's an envelope punch board isn't it - lol!!

Here are a couple of my decorated envelopes for Halloween.  I have no idea the company that these stamps came from - they were deep in my stash and I had even stamped and coloured them last year too.


Then  we have the super cute Happy Meal box that Bona created.  I just fell in love with this and had to make it.  She does have a tutorial over on youtube if you are interested.  Head on over to my youtube channel and the link is in my video on the envelope punch board.

To decorate these I used some of my super cute Saturated Canary digi images which are coloured with my Copic and Spectrum Noir markers. 

Take a look and enjoy!!

Altered Pocket Watch

I told you I love Halloween and I've already finished another project.  I wanted to use another of my Saturated Canary images that I purchased - fly girl - and the original ones that I printed were pretty big so I decided to make a Halloween decoration for my house.

I picked this Want2Scrap chipboard pocket watch from the steampunk album kit.  It's an old one that I've been hanging onto in my stash.  I started off by covering it with some patterned paper and distressing the edges with Black Soot distress ink.  I then mixed up some texture paste with glimmer mist to get a light lavender colour.  I love the way this turned out.  And used my new Crafters Workshop template - Aspen Trees.

 Here is a close up before I did anything else too it - the trees are so cool and spooky at the same time.  I also used my palette knife to soften the edges and spread some texture paste around the whole project.  After it had dried I sprayed some orange glimmer mist and splattered black, orange and purple all over.

She is so super cute.  Just had to finish it off with some flowers and leaves from I am Roses and a little bit of bling.

A Spooky Card Share

 I haven't forgotten about my blog.  I know, I just like to take breaks - actually it's all YouTube's fault.  It's just to addictive and I spend all my time over there, watching and uploading videos.  Well I'll try and spend some more time over here too and what better time to start then gearing up for Halloween.

I've been inspired recently from Bona at LiveLoveScrap with all of her beautiful projects and she's been using quite a lot of Saturated Canary digi images, so guess what, I went shopping!  But this shopping was fun, I didn't have to pay any shipping costs and it was instant gratification because you get your images right away to play with.  I play around with the size, print of the image and voila - it's time to colour.

I was going through my stamps and realized I didn't have many Halloween stamps - I probably do and just can't find them right now - so I picked out a couple of images.  Here is the first one that I coloured - Rollerskating Zombie.  I love how she turned out.

 I created a circle easel card with my mini8 punch - love it.  Added a ton of layers and used some of my Halloween spellbinders.  When I was all done putting everything together I added some glimmer mist of the whole project (really love the effect on the black cardstock) and splattered a little bit of black chalkboard spray.
