Happy Haunting - Day 12

Today is the last day of the 12 Days of Halloween and I hope you have enjoyed my projects.  If you misses any of the 12 Days of Halloween click here.  I have a 12 x12 layout to share with you.   Remember you can click on any photo to see it larger.

I have inked around all the edges of the black cardstock with orange and black ink on the "Happy Haunting" title.  The spiders are spider rings I picked up at the dollar store. The photo mats are cut at 4.25" x 6.25", 3.25" x 5 .25" and 2.25" x 2.25.
 

 

The spider web is cut at 5 3/4" out of vellum paper.  I only glued in the center of the web and that is where I also attached the spider.

 The bat border is cut a 2 1/8".  I added black rhinestones for his eyes i just didn't like the look of the wiggly eyes on the bats.

Happy Haunting is cut at 2 1/8" once in orange and then with the shift button in black. I cut the ring part off of the spiders and glued to each side of the saying.

I kept decorations simple as I wanted the bat fence to be the focal point.  My black bat is embossed with black embossing power. 

The bow is pop doted on the side of the candy holder with a bit of embroidery thread running through it.

Halloween Subway Art Day 10

Day 10 of the 12 Days of Halloween is some Subway Art.  I made my file 12x12 but sized it down in Photoshop to fit my picture frame.  I punched the spiderweb border to fit the inside of the frame.

I punched my spider web then cut at 1 1/2" then glued on top of the subway art.

Halloween Trees - Day 9

I have seen these trees every where and when I do I keep saying I can make that.  Here is how I did.  I went shopping at the dollar store and picked up cone shapes and a set of the round balls.  The round balls come in a pack of two. 

I spray painted my terra cotta pots and bottoms and used acrylic paint on the skewers.  While they were drying I made a pattern by rolling my cone onto a scrap piece of paper, cutting it out, and tweaking it until I got the look I wanted.  I then cut it out of my pattern paper.  It did take a sheet of 12x12 paper per tree.

I added my lace and sheer ribbon to the inside of my tree shape then added the ribbon to the outside of my paper and finally glued it all together.  For the Flocked tree I had to use the glue gun to keep it together.  My finishing touch was to add a large button to the top of the trees.

I glued the styrafoam ball into the pots, added the trees and topped with some glass marbles I already had

Glitter Bats - Day 8

For Day 8 of the 12 Days of Halloween I have a pretty quick project.  I have a couple of small black frames that I haven't used yet.  My Glitter Bats were perfect for this project.  If you have missed any of the previous 12 Days of Halloween please click here.

I first printed them out on glossy 4x6 photo paper as I was going to leave them nice and shinny. I hand cut around them then decided to dress up a little bit and the glitter was just the thing. 

I then printed the bat out again on the 4x6 background paper.  I wanted my bats to be off the paper so I used pop up dots behind them with a little bit of orange cardstock for the eyes.  The glass for the frame is behind my pattern paper as I didn't use it in this project.

Halloween Treat Jars - Day 6

For Day 6 of the 12 days of Halloween I am altering a Frappuccino bottle.  I need a few to drop off for the ladies at work. Since my son loves these there is always a supply for me to recycle. Be sure to wash it out really well.  I peeled off the label before running it through the dishwasher.  I wasn't worried about the glue residue as I am covering that up.  If you want to remove the glue you will have to use a product like Goof Off or Goo Gone. 

 The scrapbook paper is cut 2 1/2" inches wide.  I then wrap it around the bottle to see where I can cut the extra off at. I then punched the spider web on a 5" piece of black cardstock and glued this to the inside of the designer paper.

Using the Decorative label I punched another designer paper for the background. On top of this is the white cardstock with a sticker from the Achievers Halloween kit. I then punched a the bird out of the black and glittered cardstock. I have a pop up dot behind the bird.

I used the Martha Stewart bat punch for this set of bottles.  You can make your own mix or buy a pre-mixed one.  I have a friend who is allergic to nuts so I always make my own concoction for her.

Halloween Mini Album - Day 5

I used a Scrapbook kit from Archiver's to make these adorable 6x6 mini albums for the kids. This is going to be a long post as I did 4 of these albums in one evening after work.   Everything except the chipboard and black cardstock came in the kit.  I used a couple of punches to add some detail to the inside  pages. 

Here is the first "girl" album.

I used the Baroque die as the main photo mat on the left hand side of the album and the Styled Label dies on the front of the albums

Here is my second "girl" album.

I just love the Halloween ribbon that was included in the kit.  There was enough ribbon to wrap all four of the photo mats on the left side and all of the binding.

For the "boy" album I used the skull and cross bones paper that was included in the kit. 

Here is the pictures of the second "boy" album. 

Recipe:

Paper: Archiver's Halloween Scrapbook kit in a bag, DCWV cardstock - black

Punch: Martha Stewart - Spiderweb punch,  Halloween Iron Fence Deep Edge Punch

Misc: pop up dots, adhesive.

Dies: Tim Holtz Baroque die and Styled Labels die.

Misc: adhesive, pop up dots, VersaMagic - black ink

Pumpkin Button Box - Day 4

I made a "button box" from Mirkwood Designs using Pink Paislee Hocus Pocus Haunting paper  for the box.  The frame is from the Lacy Label cartridge button number 4 on the keypad.

I have a piece of the bat fence behind everything with the pom pom trim along the bottom of the box.   The pumpkins are stacked on the Designer Label punch with the ribbon attached behind them. I cut a green silk flower for the leaves on the pumpkins.  I added a couple of my stickpins and one of them is altered with ink.  I cut two wreaths , adhered them together then used pop up dots behind them so that a picture can fit inside.  I lightly inked all the edges of the box. 

For the back I used more of the bat fence and a flower with an orange jewel for the center.  To keep my box closed I have a magnet behind the flower and fence.

Tag Treat Holder - Day 2

For Day 2 of the 12 Days of Halloween I have a couple of treat holders for you.  If you misses Day one click here to be taken to the card.

Here's a quick treat holder for your ghost or goblin. I used the Stampin' Up Two Tags die to make this. I cut two tags from my card stock and glued them together.


I stamped with VersaMark Ink and embossed in black. I then fussy cut the bat and layered him onto the orange cardstock.

I cut the pattern paper to 2 5/8 x 1 7/8. The white card stock is just a little bit larger than my stamp . The top is tied together with a scrap of ribbon.




I also made a similar version using Design Studio and the George and Basic Shapes and the Tags, Bags, Boxes and More cartridges.  It is just a little bit larger than the die cuts and it is one piece. 



I used VersaMark Ink and black embossing powder.
When you add your treat to the inside you can use a a little bit of adhesive to keep it in place.

Flying Witch

Today I'm the Guest Designer for the Card A Day Blog. Thanks so much for coming to check out my card today.

I'm using a Clear Stamps set called Halloween Boogie. Since this is a clear set I can't just measure the wood block to get the size of the stamp so I did a couple of test stamps to get may paper to the size I liked. In this case 2 1/2 x 3 1/2. The witch is stamped with VersaMark embossing ink and covered with black embossing powder. The orange pattern paper is cut at 2 1/4 x 5 1/4.

The inside of my card is finished off with a white mat cut to 5 1/4 x 4 and inked in black. My decorative border is a strip of the orange cut at 1 1/4 x 4 and punched with the Spider Web punch.

Thanks for stopping by.
