Happy Hauntings

Welcome to the Jacksonville STARZ Blog Hop. This month our theme is Halloween.  Pinterest is just booming with ideas for Halloween, which led me to create these "Pinspired" projects.

The card is "Pinspired" by Lynn Pratt & Karen Morris. I really love how the tombstones turned out. I changed Lynn's original card by changing the coloration and making the tombstone haunted by a ghost instead of a bat. I used Karen's technique to create the bats using the Butterfly punches.

****************************************

These cute little Monster Treat Boxes are "Pinspired" by Debbie Henderson. I must admit that I had no intention of purchasing the Curvy Keepsake thinlit, but after seeing the creative things that Debbie did with it, I couldn't resist. Even my husband loves these little guys!!!


I used the 3/4" circle punch for the eyes and eyelids.

Frankenstein's nose is the scrap left over from the handle of the Curvy Keepsake Box. His pupils are made from the 1/2" Circle Punch. I created his hair using the Large Oval punch with little triangles cut out of it. I finished up his mouth and stitches with a Black Stamp'n Write Marker.

Dracula's teeth are the tips of the Pennant Punch, and his nose and pupils are from the owl punch (since I still had it out from making the card). I cut a scrap piece of Basic Black with the Curvy Keepsake thinlit, and then I used a 1" circle punch to shape his widow's peak. I finished\up by giving him bloodshot eyes and bloody fangs with a Real Red Stamp'n Write marker. I can't wait to make more creatures!

I hope you enjoyed these "Pinspired" projects. Now make sure you click the next button, so you can check out Amy's awesome creation!!!

New Snowflake Card Thinlit

I spent my Labor Day weekend making cards with the Southern Hot Scrappers. My Winter Letterpress Stamp set was on backorder and came in the mail last Saturday, so Sunday was spent creating this card (and a few others). I'm loving the silver glimmer paper paired with the Encore Ink.


This card is pretty simple to make. For printable instructions click HERE.

Here is one more picture of the card. The snowflake is pretty big, so you can put a nice sized greeting on the inside.



The Winter Letterpress Stamp set pairs up nicely with the Snowflake Card Thinlits. I was disappointed that there is not a die that fits the large snowflake. However, Stampin' Up! has a great YouTube video to circumvent this issue.

Maritime Shaker


































Well, it's been a while since I posted. Sorry, there's really no excuse. Just plain laziness. As summer vacation is coming to an end soon, I figured I should try to get into the habit of posting more often. I'd like to do it at least once a week, but we shall SEA.. SEA what I did there? Speaking of SEA, I demonstrated how to make this card last month in one of my card classes. I really liked how it turned out. For instructions on how to complete this card yourself Click  Print Recipe. Have fun and enjoy!

I mentor a new teacher at my school, and she just celebrated her birthday this past week. She is really into owls, and I seen this design on Pinterest from addINKtive designs a couple of months ago. I just love the way it turned out. Once I had all the supplies together, it only took me about 20 minutes to put the whole thing together.
