Trick or Tweet! No Line Watercolouring Halloween Card.

Hello! Long time, no blog! :-(
 I have so many cards to share with you at the moment but I'm currently working almost every night until 3am so I have been really struggling to get much of anything crafty done past the essentials (magazine commissions (which I can't share here yet ;-)) card classes, Halloween treats etc) however I did manage a bit of editing last night and so I have this cute card to share with you today!
I tried my hand at a bit of no line watercoluring and some masking too a few weeks back using the Trick Or Tweet stamp set and here is the result...

 I started by stamping Scrappy Doo here (it looks just like him, right?) on shimmery white card with my Sahara Sand ink pad. Watercoloured with more ink pads and aqua painters then drying before covering him with some masking fluid to add in the background. I love how he turned out!

These little skulls and stars (/snowflakes, maybe?) in the background are from the hostess set Warm Hearted, which is packed with seasonal sentiments as well as cute little images like this!
I used Versamark to stamp these on a Rich Razzleberry card layer to create a subtle background.

 I added in a few (retired) enamel shapes and a white embossed sentiment, all layered onto a black card base to finish.

OK, so I'm off to work this morning but I do hope to get another post done for you asap! Have a great, crafty weekend :-) and thanks so much for looking today, I miss sharing with you here!

Seasonal Chums and Treat Tubes for a Happy Halloween!

Hello there,
Today is the monthly hop with the Jem's and I'm finally at home at the beginning of the month so I can join in the fun again :-)

The theme for this months hop is Trick or Treat - a personal favourite as I really LOVE Halloween! And so I have a fun project using the super sweet Treat Tubes with Seasonal Chums plus I've used the Labels to Love stamps on the outer gift bag too! Let's start with the bag all finished and ready to gift...

 Inside I have added a Treat Tube filled with millions sweets adding a Seasonal Chums tag with some bakers twine (at the time of writing this post, this twine is still available in the clearance rack for just £2.20 for two rolls! Go, quickly!)
So, I stamped this cute pumpkin image onto pumpkin pie card thinking 'this'll be quick' before realising they looked a bit well, meh! So, I very loosely added a little colour with ink pads and an aqua painter. As I make a lot of halloween gifts to give out (at least 100) it's probably a good thing I've started nice and early!

 OK, so I wanted to add something to the outside of the bag that wouldn't fall off and this is what I came up with...
1) Punch a piece of DSP** using the everyday label punch.
2) Staple the punched paper to the clear cello bag.
3) Stamp the Halloween image from Labels of Love stamps, in black ink and punch, again using the everyday label punch.
4) Add the stamped and punched image to the punched paper layer using strong tape (tear and tape or Fast Fuse*** would work well)
~~~
**TIP: This is Halloween Night DSP from last year and in the clearance rack for £4.70 right now or you can use the fresh new Halloween paper Spooky Night. I've added both links at the end of the post ;-)
***Fast fuse is on offer - buy the Fast Fuse get TWO free refills! But only 'till Tuesday 10/10/2017

I've also wrapped a little chocolate bar (Freddo) with more DSP to pop in the bag.

And here is some of the prep I have started for the big day already! But I have to stop and make a card for Zacks birthday which is this week too :-)

Well, I hope you have enjoyed todays makes, I'll be sure to share the whole lot when they're completed, on Instagram so I hope you follow me there?!
Next up is Sarah who, I'm sure, will have a real treat for you too!

Thanks so much for looking today :-)

Cookie Cutter Halloween meets My Hero for a Get Well Wish using Stampin' Up! Products.

Hi there,
I have a fun twist on the Cookie Cutter Halloween stamps today. I have teamed them with the My Hero stamps (the fabulous Ronald McDonald charity set for this year) and Umbrella Weather framelits to make a Get Well Soon Card, take a look...

 Doesn't this little mummy look adorable as a patient? I lightly coloured the bandages with a touch of Smoky Slate and added some Blushing Bride around the eyes.

 So, when I went to stamp the umbrella and found the tip of the brolly was a separate stamp to the handle so here are my TIPS for stamping and die cutting the umbrella...

 I stamped the clouds and rain (from Weather Together) around the umbrella and patient and then die cut the clouds before adding the whole front panel with dimensionals. I then added the clouds flat through the gaps and topped a few of the rain drops with fine tip glue to make them shine.
TIP: Leave this card flat while the glue dries.

 So, that's my card for making the most out of your Cookie Cutter Halloween stamps :-)

I hope you have enjoyed today's card. I'll be back tomorrow with another,
