Boo To You!

The above door decor was inspired by a project I’d seen at simplykellyb.  The door decor rosette is a whopping 18 inches in diameter!  I had to put my hybrid spin on it by printing some papers and elements from the Cosmo Cricket Haunted Paper Pack Collection and Haunted Candy Candy available at jessicasprague.com.  The word art was matted by a die cut from the paper collection using the CTMH Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge.  Some Tim Holtz Walnut Distress Ink was applied to the rosette and perfect pearl pigment powder (spray) applied to activate/accentuate the distress ink. A 3D flower was die cut from the paper collection using the CTMH Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge with a black sharpie using the Cri-Kits insert.

This year I thought I’d have some fun with die cut paper on my pumpkin!  I die cut from the Cosmo Cricket Haunted Paper Pack Collection using the Happy Hauntings Cricut Cartridge.  The “ribbons” were made by ripping some white cotton fabric and coloring them using glimmer mists.

Hope you all have a boo-ti-ful, happy, and safe Halloween!

The Raven ATC (artist trading card) Set

For the past few weeks, I’ve been researching the joy of making ATC’s and decided to jump in the hybrid way using The Raven Mega Collection by Carina Gardner (available at jessicasprague.com) coupled with the Happy Hauntings Cricut Cartridge.  I’ve been working on these little babies, little by little, all throughout the month of October and have enjoyed every minute of it.  If you haven’t tried this venue of paper crafting yet, I DARE you to!  Instant crafty gratification. 

I even die cut boxes using the Spring Holiday Cards Cricut cartridge to hold my Raven ATC collection.

The ATC is a good size to experiment with different paper crafting/stamping techniques you’ve been wanting to try.  

What?! It’s October already?! YIKES!

September flew by!  Here’s some projects I’ve been working on during the month.  Also, I’ve discovered the joy of ATCs and will be posting some soon. I can’t wait to share.  They’re so fun and addicting.
