Halloween Projects

I found some canvases at one of the dollar stores and thought they would make a great project.
So we painted then orange with acrylic paint, sprayed some sealer on them, and let them dry.
Then we used the decor elements Spooky Expressions (117568 for $6.95).
Rubbed those on, and then I sprayed them again with the sealer.
I think they turned out cute and was a great project to do with my son!
This cute little basket is made from the pillow box die!
(Not my design, something I found while surfing the net).
Hope you have a Haunting Halloween!

Birthday Invite and Digital Page

Here is the invitation I made for Vincent's 5th birthday.
I used a technique called sooting. You hold a piece of glossy card stock in the flame of a candle, (watch the edges catch on fire easily), till it goes black. Then take your stamp and lay it in the soot and pull it off.
The stamp takes off the soot and leaves the image. Your fingers can also take off the soot too!
Spray with an acrylic sealer and let dry.
Here's the inside. I used a top note die as a scroll.
I got myself the New Digital Studio.
Look how easy it is to make a Scrap page in the same colors as the invitation!
The Beware Pirates stamp set is not in the software, but maybe one day available as a digital download.
You can purchase the Digital Studio through me or my web site.
There is also digital downloads that you can purchase without having to own the full studio.
Stampin' Up! also offers custom printing or you can print it out on your home computer!
I will have more pages to share as I play with it a little more!

October's Stampin' Club Projects

We had fun creating this WOW card!
It's a Tri-Shutter card and it's easier than it looks!
Here it is open...
......And Closed.
Love that Dasher stamp!
Here is the Snow Globe card, that uses the new Hostess level 2 stamp set from the holiday mini.
And last a little 3x3 punched card.
We used the Large oval punch for the pumpkin.
The Word Window Punch for the stem, and the scallop edge punch to make the grass.
Have a great Thanksgiving Weekend!
