Harry Potter Card

Hello there, 

two posts in one day eh? get me! Well today is my youngest son Zack's birthday. He is 8 and for his birthday he really wanted to go to the Harry Potter studio tour so I decided to make his birthday card with this theme in mind :-)

I have used Jack of All Trades for the "Sorting Hat" and also for the background where I stamped the little twirl with versamark and used heat and stick powder with dazzling diamonds glitter for magical swirls from a wand ;-) Sentiment is the new Memorable Moments set (page 139) with Apothecary Accents framelits to cut it out,

"Hedwig" is from the Owl Occasions set in the Autumn/Winter Catalogue (page 13) and I clear heat embossed him before cutting a wand free hand from card

 and a little Hedwig  decorated the inside corner too.

Right, I must dash and go get the birthday boy from school so he can have birthday tea with his friends tonight,

Thanks for visiting today,

Stampin' Hugs, 

Come and Join the Blog Hop!

Hello!

and welcome today, you may have joined me on the way around the ILWS blog hop, if so you will have come from the lovely Pat's blog if you have no idea what I am talking about then let me explain! A whole bunch of SU! demos have joined together to "jump" from one blog onto the next showcasing products from the fab NEW Catalogue!

There will be a link further down this post to the next blog and at the very bottom of this post all the participating blogs in case anyone has publishing problems.

So onto my project, I decided to make a really SPOOKY Halloween Banner using the fantastic NEW Perfect Pennants die. I love it already!!

Yes, I know we could all sit and cut out little triangles but I am not kidding you, I made this in less than an hour (if you don't count the time I spent uhhming and ahhhing about where to put which image ;-))

OK lots of pictures coming up, I took a photo of each section going along, you should be able to click on each picture to see it closer...

Alphabet is the Timeless Type Junior Sizzlit Alphabet

I used retired Rich Razz satin ribbon but you could use Black ribbon or the 1/4" grosgrain in Razzleberry

I embossed all the large pennants with the Perfect Polka Dos Embossing folder

I used the fab new stamp set Jack of all Trades using the "Rock and Roll" technique 

The hat and faces are in the stamp set too, the ghost is the very versatile Owl punch again!

And a close up of some of the scrummy NEW Halloween papers,

As you might have guessed I am a massive fan of Halloween, I love everything about it so you can rest assured I will be doing A LOT more Halloween projects over the next few weeks, be sure to pop by!

If you would like to place an order then please drop me a line and I will be happy to help :-)

Thanks for visiting today, the next stop on this hop is to go to the wonderful Claires blog

Stampin' Hugs from me,

As promised the whole hop in one place :-)
