Curvy Keepsake Boxes- Frankie

I've made a bunch of  Curvy Keepsake boxes, and every time I thought I had an original idea I would find it already done on Pinterest. Basicly they are simple Punch Art. Here is one of the ones for Halloween. Frankie!

Paper: Wisteria Wonder, Basic Black and Whisper White CS
Misc: Curvy Keepsake Box Framelit, 2 1/2" Circle, Owl Builder and 1/2 Circle Punches, Hearts Collection Framelit.

Frightening Feline

I ordered so much more from the Holiday Catalog then I ever have when it was the Holiday Mini. This is my favorite of the Halloween sets this year.

• The Card Base is Cajun Craze.
• I made banner streamer from the Howlstooth & Scaringbone DSP and added them to the card base.
• On a piece of Tangerine Tango from the Brights  DSP Stack I heat embossed the image from Frightening Feline with Black Embossing Powder. I added the smallest of the pearls colored black as eyes.  I cut it out with a Window Frame Collection Framelit and layered it on a piece of Basic Black cut the next size up. 
• I popped the image up with Dimensionals on the card front.

So my first Halloween card of the year. Have you done any Halloween stamping yet?

Halloween Treats

Treat ideas to give to friends!

• The jar is s'mores in a jar the recipe is on the back of the tag that was embossed with the Haunted Forest stamp.
• The cello sleeves can be filled with M &M's, York Pieces, Jelly Bellies and even pencils. It is topped with a scallop circle that has an image from Batty for You.
• The match box is cut out with the Big Shot and filled with chocolates that have been wrapped with the Halloween stamp from It's a Wrap Holiday. The box is topped with an accordion rosette that has a scallop circle stamped with an image from Batty for You.

Every thing but Batty for you, card stock, Big Shot, and Match box die are in the Holiday Mini.

Batty For You

Here was another of the marker techniques from Club. 

• We colored directly on the stamp with markers, then stamped onto Whisper White, punched out the image with the 1 3/8" circle punch.
• Using Concord Crush we punched a Scallop Circle and attached our image to it.
• The mini take out box is made from Naturals White CS, with a florist wire handle and Ribbon tied to the handle.

Hopefully we will see a take out box in a die someday.

Halloween Card and Candles

Here are some more candles as well as a matching card.  My neighbor found a whole bunch of candles on clearece at Walmart a couple of years ago, she bought them and gave them to me, in return she wanted me to make her a couple stamped on.  Good deal for me!

For the candles:

• I used "Haunting" Stampin' around wheel on the orange candle and "Haunting and "House of Haunts" on the purple candle.
• I stamped on white tissue paper using stazon, I ran the wheel across the paper a couple of times. stamped the tree a couple of times and the house once.
• I attached the tissue in the manner I described in yesterday's post. http://kath-allthatscrap.blogspot.com/2010/09/autumn-harvest.html
• For the purple candle I started with the house after that I added trees to each side of the house, by simply turning one of the images over my trees are facing different directions. I cut the trick or treaters out individually so that I could space them in the remaining space.
• For the orange candle I cut out the strip and attached it to the candle.

For the card:

• The card base is Pumpkin Pie.
• The front is Night of Navy that I ran through the Big Shot with the Spider Web folder that is in the Holiday Mini Catalog. I used a sponge dauber with White craft ink to lightly color the web. I tied a piece of Pumpkin Pie ribbon around the card front and attached it to the base.
• I embossed the tree on watercolor paper using black embossing paper.  I masked a 3/4" circle for my moon and colored my sky using Markers and an Aqua Painter, for the night sky I combined Not Quite Navy, Night of Navy and Elegant Eggplant. the Moon is So Saffron and Daffodil Delight.
• I layered the image on Pumpkin Pie attached it to the card with Dimensionals.

I hope you have a wonderful day! Go stamp something ;).

Greeting Card Kids-Halloween from the class

This past week has been crazy busy! I had two classes, open stampin day, school started for my kids, and our summer ending Court of Honor for the boy scouts in our Unit (I was in charge, I am chairman for both our troop and our crew and the Vicechair for our scout district) this week looks to be slower, I only have club booked for stamping this week. I do have fruit that must be canned this week or it will go bad.  But enough about me, I'm sure it is a card that you came here for. . .

This is the card from my Greeting Card Kids class, I think it turned out pretty good ;).
• Fold Pumpkin Pie card base in half, run the front half through the big shot with the Spider Web folder (Winter Mini)


• With Stazon Ink stamp the image in the center of the Watercolor Paper

• With an Aqua Painter pick up color from the tips of the Watercolor Wonder Crayons. Crayons Used Pumpkin Pie(pumpkin), Bravo Burgundy(dress and hat band), Black(cape and hat) Old Olive (vine), Daffodil Delight and More Mustard(hair, buckle and broom bristles), Chocolate Chip(broom), Blush Blossom Pen(skin)

• Wrap 1 ¼" striped Grosgrain Ribbon around the square of Bravo Burgundy Using the Filigree brad and a Rhinestone brad, wrap brad prongs around ribbon instead of tying. Attach square to the card front

• With Diemensionals, pop the image up on the Bravo Burgundy square

• Stamp Happy Halloween from "Teeny Tiny Wishes" in Bravo Burgundy ink on a scrap of Very Vanilla CS and punch out with the Word Window punch, layer it on a piece of Bravo Burgundy CS punched with the Modern Label punch add to card front

Hope you find some time to stamp, I have several sets that I ordered at the beginning of the month that I haven't even ink up yet. . . maybe this week. Hope your day is a great one!

Punch Pals #1

It's been a busy week! Monday and Tuesday I spent time prepping new boxes for my Wednesday open stamping days, and then on Wednesday it turned cold and rained ( I still had a few who braved the weather and showed up to stamp), it rained so much that my stamping room flooded. So Wednesday night and yesterday I cleaned up and tried to dry out carpet. Yesterday was my Halloween treats class, we had fun, 8 Frankie and 8 Draculas were made, and 4 of the mummy and sweet centers were made. So that brings us to today...

This card was one of the cards we made at the first Christmas card class. The snowman is cut out and on dimentionals, the Merry Christmas is as well. The trees are stamped directly on the card base, they were done marker to stamp. The snow drifts and shading on the snowman were done with Bordering Blue watercolor crayons and then dazzling diamonds was added. Simple but really nice in real life.

House of Haunts

This is this years Halloween card! I confess I don't really send Halloween cards, and have only received one, once (from my nephew Kyle). I use my Halloween stamps for scrap booking. This card starts with a Dusty Durango base. Happy Halloween is embossed in black. I stamped the image in Versamark and embossed it in black on Watercolor paper. With a Versamark pen I scribbled some more ground around the tree and embossed that as well. With a 3/4" punch I punched a post it note on the sticky edge and added my moon. With Watercolor Wonder Crayons I painted my sky. I used Summer Sun around my moon, the rest of the sky is a blending of Not Quite Navy, Brilliant Blue, Night of Navy, and Elegant Eggplant. It is matted with Dusty Durango and Elegant Eggplant.
