Tim Holtz embossing folder
shattered

Got this little bat stamp at Michaels

last year at the end of the season

it's by Craft Smart couldn't find a number on it

I stamped with versa mark ink then used

clear embossing to create the background

I stamped the bat and fussy cut it out some

glossy accents on the eyes and some

wink of stella on the body.

For the house it self I put some

silver glitter paper behind the windows

the clouds are a die from

Lil' Inkers Designs

the moon is a circle from

MFT Pierced Circle STAX

I inked this with Tim Holtz Distress inks

Scatted Straw and Orange marmalade

Sentiment from

"SPOOKY SAYING"

 

You wouldn't believe
On All Hallow Eve
What lots of fun we can make,
With apples to bob,
And nuts on the hob,
And a ring-and-thimble cake.

Frankly Frightful!

Hi Everyone 

My day to post over at

Cardz TV Gallery
great new blog with a new project
Monday through Saturday
 

I couldn't wait to use Mary's newest stamp set

Frankly Frightful

some papers and bling from Doodlebug Designs

and little "Frankie"

from Paper Smooches

colored with a few copic marker

he is just too cute to spook!

wanted to talk about something that to some of us is honestly

"Frankly Frightful!"

cutting your stamps.

Now I can assure you they don't feel any pain

the only twinges of anxiety will be your own.

Cardz TV Stamps

 are high quality clear photopolymer stamps

 no worries on cutting them at all

for my card I need the sentiment to be in a straight line so I cut it 

they go back together so easily

You can also mask them off but when I try that 

I always end up having ink smears all over  

don't be afraid 

come on over to the dark side 

and give it a try.

 

Next week Think about it Thursday will be back

Have a Happy Crafty Day.

Karen

Think about it Thursday

Thinking about card designing and sentiments today

Do you Design your card first then add a sentiment that

"fits"

Or do you start with the sentiment and build your card from there

Normally I start with the design

then add a sentiment

Happy News!

Hi Everyone super excited today it's my first post as 

as a member of a brand new blog 

Cardz TV Gallery

working with Mary and a wonderful bunch of 

talented crafty ladies is such a joy

For today's project I am still working on my 

Halloween cards for my friends and co-workers

I started with one of my favorite Halloween stamp sets

from Cardz TV Stamps 

More Spooky Sayings 

for this card I started with a 

3 3/4x 3 3/4 square from Graphic 45 Happy Haunting

 and cut an X in it with a craft knife

and rip off some of the paper then folder the edges back

and ink them with Tim Holtz black soot.

the mummy is a file from 

Miss Kate Cuttables 

I used some crystal stickles on the edges

behind this adorable little mummy is a background 

of strips doodlebug designs washi tape some doodlebug twine

and a button on a kraft card base of 4.25x 4.25

and no need to worry Think about it Thursday will be back next week

I will be doing this every other Thursday to 

give myself more time to "Think"

Have a happy crafty day,

Karen
