Sunday Scrappage: Halloween

Today I have a scrap page for you with the new

Halloween stamps and dies by Michael Strong.

 

The paper is by Club Scrap (different kits) and

the sentiment is by Create with TLC.

 

And the pictures are of course my grandson Owen,

who is already 3,5 months old and doing great.

Here you see more of the stamped work

and if you click on the photo, you

will see an even larger version.

 

The spider web border is a Martha Steward punch

that i used on some black paper to make the border and glued

to the background. The siders are punched out

with the new Halloween dies by Michael Strong

amd colored with a silver gelpen to give it

some glitz. The "boo!"is an old stamp by SU!.

 

Have a creative day!

More Halloween inspiration

Hi!

Are you getting ready for Halloween?

Need some more card inspiration?

Well, with  

Michael Strongs 

new Halloween goodies

it is so wonderful to make some easy cards.

For card 1 and 2 I punched out a circle,

that I used to sponge the background first

with distress inks. First sponge the moon,

than cover the moon with the punched out circle to

color the rest of the background.

The owl and the sentiment are by Stampin'Up!

And for card #3 I found inspiration and a great

video tutorial here:

http://mypaperbliss.blogspot.nl/2009/08/lets-make-accordion-fold-halloween-card.html

It is an easy to fold accordeon card.

You need an 8,5 x 11 inch black piece of cardstock

for the card (you can make 2 out of it) and some pieces

of fun halloween scrappaper for decoration.

I used the brim of the 3 hats as a closure for the front,
Just for fun, you do not need to do this.

 As today is world card making day

I just have to share some cards with you.

Just received the new Halloween stamps

and dies by Michael Strong.

So as Halloween is creeping up on us,

I made you to cards and hope your are

inspired.

For this one I punched out the cats

and stuck them to a stamped background with

foam tape. I gave the cats gemstone eyes.

And here is one like it, but done with the  dies

bird and also a stamped background.

For both cards I uses the tree stamp of

 the Halloween set.

 

Have a creative day!

TH September tag

 Another month has gone by 

and Tim holtz has posted a new tag

with tutorial and challenged all of us

to add our own version of his tag.

You can see it all here:

http://timholtz.com/12-tags-of-2012-september/

 Here is my version of the

September tag. I choose to use Tim's 

mini phone die and not the typewriter.

 On top i used the T charm (also for telephone)

and I added glossy accent on top
of the painted form to give it the real

old bakelite telephone look.

The imnage i used is by Create with TLC,

I love the vintage image. I pinned some vintage looking

brads on the picture. I used some wire

from the phone to the earpiece,.I wirlt it around

a thin pencil an it gave the phone an even more real look.

 And here is the bottom of my tag. Behind the words 

you sea a tine bit out of a real phonebook.

(I use pages out of an old phonebook

underneath my stamping!) On the dial I wrote

the numbers and some more wire.

Thanks for looking!

 Have a creative day!

Elephants

Today we are celebrating  

Michael Strong's

Cloisonné Elephant Stamp

 

Don't you love elephants?

Well if you do, see what I have come up with.

 I have made an irisfolding  and stamping card for you.

On top of the card you see how I cut out the large elephant 

and used it as a template for irisfolding.

You find the template below:

 

Save this template with the right mouse click

to your own computer and print to use it.

 Here you see the finished irisfolding again.

Where it says A and B on the template, I used a large

strip of paper to cover the paws and the tail.

You can do this with a contrasting color if you like.

The sentiment you see here is by Club Scrap.

If you have never done any irisfolding, or 

need a refresh course take a look here for my tutorial:

http://craftchaos.blogspot.nl/2010/07/frame-en-irisvouwen-frame-and.html

 The botom of the card is with the little elephants, 

stamped in versamark and embossed with copper

embossing powder. Around the border of the card

I stamped the flower in vintage distress ink.

 Here an other sample with irisfolding.

Stamped in black on one side of the card

and in irisfolding technique on the other side.

The sentiment here is also by Club Scrap.

 Have a creative day!

Summer 2012

 Another week went by and here is a new  page

for my Weekly Chronicles over at the

Club Scrap forum.

The theme for this week is, what you did

for summer vacation, but  I did not go anywhere.

Though something very special happened.

I became a grandma this summer,

so that is what my page is about.

 I used papers from the Sorento kit by Club Scrap

as well as the big cirle flower.

The lettering and the small flower

are by Michael Strong.

 (click on the photo to see a larger version)

On the flower I  used different colors of 

embossing poder to give it this look.

The circle and the scalloped circle are

done with spelbinder dies.

 

Have a creative day!
