Create a layered Halloween tag with idea-ology

Image
Hi everyone! By now you have probably caught on that I am a Tim Holtz fan! I especially love the idea-ology collection.  His newest addition this year to this line was the paper dolls and I love them! I also love that during the holiday seasons he and his team have specialty items added to this collection.



I created two Halloween tags using various items from idea-ology.  I also used some of his packaging to make a tag.  If you would like to see how I created these, you can see my process on the video below.


What is also great is the packaging design. This year the halloween ephemera back pane was designed with great spider webs which can be incorporated into your crafting.

I used the backing of my packaging to create a tag which I then used to layer my ephemera an other various idea-ology items. I also used Distress collage medium to adhere my pieces. It is a great adhesive and works very well. It also comes in vintage for those of you that want to put a little more color on your epheme…

Trick or Treat!

Image
Hi everyone! I am here today to share with you a cute Halloween card I created using two colors of Distress Oxides and two stamps from I brake for stamps.

When I saw this cute little image with only Cat's paws showing I knew this sentiment would be purrrfect...

The image is called Guess Who and the sentiment is called Smell my feet. I created the background by using two distress oxide colors, Wild Honey and Fossilized Amber.

I also added some washi tape and a cute metal embellishment.

Coffee Lover's Blog Hop - Day 3 You complete me

Image
It is day 3 of the coffee lover's blog hop. Today I am sharing a card I created using a cute set from Neat & Tangled.

I don't typically create cutesy cards, but this little guy is so adorable and it has such fun sentiments. I had these cute little coffee creamers sitting on my desk from the last hop, so this was a perfect time to get those onto a card.
Hopefully you hoppers are taking a break between your comments to enjoy a nice cup of your favorite drink!
Thanks so much for stopping by!

Coffee Lover's Blog Hop - Day 2 Pumpkin Latte

Image
Hello hoppers and coffee lovers. For day 2 of the Coffee Lover's blog hop I decided to create a pumpkin spiced latte card. I had some of this beautiful graphic 45 paper in my scrap pile, just enough for a card.

I picked up this little coffee Die from Taylored expressions last summer and have not had a chance to use it yet.  It is so cute and small, not how we like our coffee, but great for a card. 
Thanks for stopping by!

Coffee Lover's Blog Hop - Spider Coffee Day 1

Image
Wow! It seems like just last week we were hopping through the Summer Coffee Lover's Blog hop and now here we are again for our Fall Coffee Lover's Blog Hop!  I am in the middle of packing up my craft room for a move, so I am not sure if I will be able to get 7 cards finished this week, but I will do my best. 

I designed this image using pic Monkey. I had an idea of spiders coming out of a coffee cup, creepy I know, but it is close to Halloween after all.

I embellished the card with some washi tape and a spider token.  Oh and also a little arsenic label. So tell me Coffee Lovers...would you drink this cup?

Thanks for stopping by!

7 Days of Halloween - Day 7 Distress Blending

Image
It is day 7 of my 7 days of Halloween. I wanted to do something different, a blending combination I had never tried before and I am so glad that I did.

To see in detail how I created this card you can click on the video below. 



I used a circle die cut to mask of the moon and created the background by blending two distress oxides and one distress ink.

The stamp that I am using is from Viva Las Vegas Stamps and is called Winter Woods Scene 4.  I also used the bat stamp from the Tim Holtz Halloween set called Haunted House.

The sentiment is from the Halloween Clippings Sticker set from Ideaology.  I hope that you have enjoyed my series over the last 7 days.

Don't forget, I am doing a giveaway over on my you tube channel, so be sure to check out all 7 videos.

Thanks for stopping by!
