October Scrap Club

We are going to learn two techniques (soot stamping and coloring ribbon) this month at our October Scrap Club ladies! This layout will take a little while to finish. I am only giving you a sneak peek of one of the two pages and a close up of the soot stamped haunted house. I hope you will like this one. I sure had fun creating it!

I used the Everlasting paper, which is on the retired list. If you like it, you better grab it. Once it is gone.....there is no more. Bwa-ha-ha-ha-ha!

The Halloween title is done with the soot stamping technique too!

Soot stamped haunted house

Two of the three sets I used are retired, but I just had to use them. Here are the two stamp sets I used on this page: Halloween Dingbats, Happy Haunting.

Happy Stamping!

Tutorial Tuesday - Liquid Applique

The holidays are approaching, so I usually get out my liquid applique and play.  It looks great on the mummys, santas and snowmen.  It adds the perfect touch to images for snow.  Here is a tutorial that shows how to apply liquid applique and how to make it puff up on your images.  ENJOY!

Card meaurements:

Card base - black 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 scored at 4 1/4

Enchanted pattern paper - 4 x 5 1/4

Barn Red cardstock - 3 1/2 x 4

Garden Green cardstock - 3 1/4 x 3 3/4

White Daisy cardstock - 3 x 3 1/2

Edited to add:  I was incorrect on the stamp set I used on this card.  I thought it was Trick or Treaters...I was wrong!  It is Halloween Dingbats, which is retired also.  Sorry for the wrong information!

Happy Stamping!

My favorite stamp set is "O Come Let Us Adore Him" and my favorite paper is "Life Delights" Thanks for the great blog cand. what a great way to start off the new year.

Please email me at stampfest@cox.net to let me know your snail mail and name.

I have the stamp sets everyone listed, except for Lovely As a Tree and that is on my wish list for 2008. Thanks for all of your comments.

Here is the technique class I will be holding next Thursday, January 10, 2008. We will make both the 6 x 6 layout that explains how to complete the technique and the card, so we will actually use the technique we learned.




I promise I will post on a regular basis once my boys go back to school on Monday, January 7th. My sister keeps bugging me about it. I haven't taken time to scrap, since the boys have been on vacation. I need my routine back!

Happy Stamping!

Happy Halloween

BWA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!

I have had my eye on this Martha Stewart stamp set for some time now and today it was 50% off, so I had to add it to my collection. This saying is just one of a few sayings that come in this set. I knew I had a vampire stamp from Halloween Dingbats that I could use with it.
In addition to Halloween Dingbats, I used Halloween Night for the haunted house. I stamped the moon in vanilla cream and outlined it with sparkle glitter. Oh, I can't forget my bat punch from the Martha Stewart Halloween collection I used at the bottom. I put prisma glitter on the punched bat to make him shine. Other embellishments used: edge anchors, dimensional elements, smokey plum bigger brads, concave punch, stipple brush and black rope ribbon.

This is my last post until next week. I am going out of town on Thursday to a CTMH regional meeting and have to pack some of my stamping supplies, so I won't have access to them. I can't wait to see our new catty that comes out in January. This weekend is going to be a blast! I get to learn and mingle with other consultants. Friday, I attend some classes and Friday night we all crop together. Saturday, we will play all day creating artwork. I should have something to show you, when I return. Hopefully, I will have time on Sunday to download. Have a great week!

Happy Halloween! I hope you have a "howling" good time!

Sketch Challenge 147 - Trick or Treat

I am on a Halloween kick lately due to the fact my boys keep talking about trick or treating and what costumes they are wearing. I have been wanting to use my Halloween Dingbats stamp set. These Trick or Treaters are so cute! I saw someone use liquid applique on the mummy, so I wanted to try it. I think it makes him look great! I don't think I will stamp him without using liquid applique on him. The spider dangling from above is from the Happy Haunting stamp set and the paper is from various companies I had in my non-CTMH stash. For this sketch I turned my card landscape, so these little cuties would fit.




Here is the sketch in portrait style.

Thanks for stopping by!
