Witching Hour Tess

Good morning! It's less than a week to Halloween, I've bought the candy, Mollie wants to dress as a rainbow fairy and it looks as though we won't have snow this year!

 

I posted the delightful Tess from  Jiggery Makery last week and I'm back with her again - This time as a more traditional witch.

 

 

I have colored her in with my Spectrum Noir Markers and digitally added bats flying along with her. I then color tinted the edges of the card with distress ink and mounted her onto orange paper. I used a white card blank and added some Authentique Halloween design paper.

 

After fixing my image to the card I added some orange hotfix gems to match in with her flame colored hair!

 

You can buy Tess over at Jiggery Makery's Etsy store along with her other pin-up pals.

Snowflakes

Good afternoon, well it's coming to the end of a fab week and we are forecast our first frost tonight brrr!

 

I am sharing a cute little Christmas card with you today

 

 

This was so easy to make and looks so effective. I started with a 6x8in piece of snow white centura pearl card. I scored this at 4inches and folded in half. I then cut 3.5 inches from the front.

The die is a snowflake edge'ables by Crafter's Companion. I opened up what was left of my card and laid the die along the score line and cut and embossed it. Once eased out of the die it gives the effect as in the photo.

 

I then cut some snow flecked acetate and cut to 6x4 inches gluing this inside the top edge of the front of the card. I then cut a strip of the centura card and glued this to the bottom edge of the acetate.

I used the fabulous stamps Snowflake Trio and Winter Butterflies from So Suzy Stamps  and stamped them onto the acetate using stayzon ink.

 

 

Tess and her broomstick!!

Good afternoon! The sun is shining and the leaves are turning gorgeous fall colors. I love this time of year it's just too bad that it symbolizes the cold weather will be here soon!

 

I'm over at Jiggery Makery today flying by with the gorgeous Tess!

 

 

 

 

She is too stunning to be your usual witch so I decided not to use her for a Halloween card. I have colored her using my Spectrum Noir Markers and mounted the image onto black card. I then made an easel card and matted this with black card and purple patterned paper. The image was then fixed to the easel part of the card.

 

The sentiment is one I have seen around quite a bit and felt it fitting! If you can't read it from the photo is says:

 

All Women are angels

And when someone breaks our wings

We just continue to fly on a broom stick

We are flexible like that

 

I typed it up on my Pc and printed it out, matted it onto black card and adhered it to the base of the card using foam pads so it acts as the stopper for the easel.

A few black enamel dots just add the finishing touches.

Prowling black cats

Good morning - Fall is well under way here now. Our gorgeous maple tree has started to turn red and the mornings are definitely cooler!

 

Halloween is just a couple of weeks away and I am really enjoying all the spooky crafty goodies that are available.

Today is my day to showcase over on the So Suzy Stamps blogs and  I am loving the Halloween stamps that She has brought to us this month.

 

There are some fab ones, I just love the sentiment I have used on my showcase card today:

 

 

Black Cats Prowl!

For my card I have used black and orange card - first matting my card blank with the black. I have then used a Poppy Stamp die for the cat face and cut it into my top layer. I have stamped the wonderful sentiment in black ink and colored 2 of the mini chipboard ghosts black. positioning these around the sentiment.

I have then used a Cottage Cutz die to cut my border and added some black enamel dots.

Kathy and her Sweaters!

Good afternoon I'm here again with my second blog post of the day!

 

It's my day to showcase over at Jiggery Makery and as it's cooled off a bit today I thought I'd make another Christmas card.

 

Kathy is making her second appearance on my blog in one of her wonderful sweaters

 

 

I have used an 8x8in card blank for this card and matted it with silver mirror card and the gorgeous snowflake paper from Lili of the Valley.

Kathy has been colored using my Spectrum Noir markers and I have glittered the white on her Santa hat.

I typed up the sentiment on my laptop - don't you find that aunts buy you the most obscure gifts at times????

I matted the image with Mirror card and placed it at a jaunty angle on my card.

The flower is made from 2 die cut lacy poinsettias and a crystal gem. I have then added card candi to the opposite corner to balance the card.
