TSMONDAY4, Spooky Lighting!



Hello, this weeks challenge over at Totally Stampalicious, is to stamp on something other than paper! You can find the challenge and all the details on the Totally Stampalicious Blog here, so you can play along!



Okay I'm not 100% sure mine counts because I stamped on vellum, does it count as paper?


I used black cardstock 8 1/4" X 3". Score at 2",4", 6" and 8"


The top was made with the Martha Stewart fence edge punch, but would probably look great with the spooky fence punch, or the web or whatever you have on hand.


I made the windows with the lg square punch from Stampin Up.


I stamped the spider & web from the 'Witch Brawd' set in black onto vellum pieces measuring 1- 7/8" square.

I used the little battery operated tealights for safety. Sorry the pictures aren't too great, I was having trouble getting the light right!


Thanks for stopping by, and you should give these a try, they are super easy!

Hanna Stamps Fan Blog Hop!

Running a bit late, but here it is! I have been dying to use Mason Riley on a gift jar filled with candy lego! Don't you think he's perfect for that!

I bought the glass jar at the Dollarama. I also found the wire mesh in the craft section at the Dollarama. I'm not sure if it was a great idea though, because the edges are sharp & I now have a few cuts on my hands! Maybe I should wrap it around the chocolate I shouldn't eat! LOL

OK so I used my stamp-a-jig and stamped the brick wall on 2 strips of white. Then I coloured them in with copics. By then my eyes were blurry and my hand was cramped!

I also stamped Mason Riley and coloured him with copics. I used nesties to cut the image, mesh & cardstock.
For the lid, I used the bricks & graffiti set. Then cut them out with nesites.

Stamps: Mason Riley, Brick wall, Graffiti
Paper: white, black, metal mesh
Ink: black
Accessories: copics, nesties,

Now I'm going to hop! Here's a list of all the participants.

She's A Rebel!

Hello, I loved the easel card so much I had to make another one. This time I used the new Goth Riley from Hanna Stamps. Isn't she/he cute!


I coloured the image with copics and added glitter with the star dust pen to the earrings and a bracelet.


The cardstock is sponged and the dp is from the Teen Angst pack from Memory Keepers.


The arrow was made with the sizzix curves ahead die. I used the 'Graffiti' set also from Hanna Stamps for the sentiment on the bottom. And keeping with the theme, I used safety pins as a stopper!


So what do you think?

Flying Monkeys!

Hello, I made this for the colour challenge this week, CC240, chocolate chip, bermuda bay & apricot appeal. I also used this weeks sketch challenge SC250 .
And of course I really wanted to ink up my new stamp from Totally Stampalicious. This is just one image & one sentiment from the set, Witch Brawd, there are several others!

I stamped the images in memento tuxedo black, & coloured with copics. The sentiment was stamped in chocolate chip. All 3 panels are popped up. I finished it off with some chocolate pearls.

Thanks for stopping by!

Super Mom!

Hello, I made this for this weeks TLC242 easel card challenge, what a great idea for a card! I love this idea!



I used the new Super Hero Hanna, and what better combo than super hero + Mom!



I coloured the image with copics, and you can't tell from the photo, but I added a bit of glitter from the stardust pen onto the highlighted bits of her outfit. I cut Hanna out, and only popped up her hair. You can see a close up of that in pic #2.



Rather than use a button as a stopper, I popped up the whole panel on the bottom to create an edge.

I'll be back with a couple more later!
Have a Great Day

Have a Swine Time!

Hello, I made this for the Monday Challenge on the Totally Stampalicious Blog This weeks challenge is to make a card in a shape other than the usual square or rectangle!
So I used the new Farmer Hawg to make an octagon card!
I stamped the image twice with memento tuxedo black, and coloured with copics. I also stamped the image onto paper to make a mask so I could sponge in the clouds. Then I cut out the Farmer from one coloured image. His right side is glued down directly to the cardstock, his left side (with the sign) is popped up.
Thanks for another great challenge!
You should join in the fun, the prize this week is a $10. gift certificate.
