Happy Halloween from Topflight Stamps!

Happy Halloween! I wanted to share a fun little shaker card made Topflight Stamps style! I posted it off to my nephews earlier this week and I hope it gets there in time. My crafting time keeps getting squeezed. (bother!)

I loved the fun papers in the Polkadoodles Halloween paper pad and picked out two contrasting ones to use for the card base and the shaker top. The plastic is scrap from some packaging (it pays to save it!) and I stamped on it with the Fairy Web stamp and archival ink. The shaker bits are from my extensive craft stash. I couldn't resist the super cute cat die set from Swirlcards and I think it adds the perfect focal point to the card. Some Hunkydory Diamond Sparkles add a finishing touch of bling.

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you can have a safe Halloween celebration and have a chance to get crafty too this weekend.

Tim Holtz Halloween Inspiration

Hello everyone! I have a last few Halloween projects to share with you before the 31st is past. I was inspired by one of Tim Holtz's recent Saturday Facebook Live tutorials, Halloween tips + tricks 2. He showed us how to make 'drippy candles' that light up too! Wow!! I knew I had to try them also. I created a little scene in one of his Display Domes. Check out the link above to his blog where you will find the video tutorial on how to make them for yourself. (Also learn how to make a glowing crystal ball!) Enjoy the photos and happy Halloween:

The little cat figurine I found at Michael's at the beginning of the season. It's perfect for this project!

Flick on the Tiny Lights switch and feel the glow!

Here's a better view without the glare of the glass dome. Scroll on for more details…

The tall pedestal is one of the finials from the Vignette Finial Set.

I hid the wire coming down from the top candle underneath a piece of gold ribbon. (After painting the wire and a stray light bulb over with grey paint to camoflauge it) I also tucked a Creepy Eye underneath as a detail for the viewer to 'discover'.

These candles really are a lot of fun to make and I have Christmas ideas for them too. I am also entering this project into the Country View October Challenge 'Make a Scene'.

Thanks for stopping by!

I Needed a New Halloween Wreath!

Hello there! Halloween is fast approaching and I still have a bunch of projects I want to make! I gotta get crackin'! First on the list was making a new October wreath for my front door. I was tired of the old one. I found a black grapevine wreath with a bunch of random stuff wired onto it at the thrift store. Perfect! I removed everything except the beaded spiders (because they were cool they got to stay and play). I kept it pretty simple (refer to the bunch of projects I still want to make part above). I used the Tim Holtz Tiny Houses Die to make the structures and covered them with Tim Holtz Abandoned paper and Idea-olgy goodies. I used thrifted fall leaves and baubles to further adorn it. Now it's hanging on my door and I'm on to the next project!

I wanted a mix of 'grunge' and brighter colors with a dash of glitter thrown in.

I love making things out of treasures I find second hand. =)

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you have a great rest of the week and have a chance to do something crafty and creative. =)

I am also entering this into the Funkie Junkie Boutique Blog's current challenge, "Purple, Orange, Green! Eek! It's Halloween!". It runs for another week so you have a chance to enter too.

Autumn Teacup – Eileen Hull's New Sizzix Die

 

I love fall! It is my favorite season for sure. The colors, the weather, the holidays – what a combination! I am always thankful for the season, especially after a long hot summer. I used Eileen Hull's new Sizzix 3-D Teacup Die to create a little decor piece that really celebrates the season.

New 3-D Teacup Die

It's fall time, hurray!!!

I also used loads of Tim Holtz Sizzix dies to add the fall flavor to my make. Various leaf dies, the 3-D embossing folder Lumber, and the sentiment die. I also used the retired Tree Rings die (several layers stacked) to create the 'saucer' for the Teacup. The spoon (part of the Teacup Die) I embossed with 3 of Eileen's luscious Molten Dimensions embossing powders.

Thanks for stopping by! Check out Eileen's blog and if you are not already a member, join the Facebook Eileen Hull Fan Club group.
