Digital Stamp: Vampire Turtle

Thank you for looking at my card.

Tangled Turtle Door Decoration

As September winds down I try to make decorations for Halloween that I can enjoy the whole month. Amanda has created the cutest Halloween digis and the turtles are definitely my favorite. A few weeks ago I demonstrated on my live show zentangling in the Turtle Witch and decided that she would make a really cute sign for the front door. You can watch the entire leslierahye's crafty gig on zentangling to see how to start this.

I printed the Turtle Witch as a 5×7" image and used my Staedtler pens to tangle her. Then I colored her with the Sakura Hobby Craft 3D Colored Lacquers. I printed off a sign for my door--"The Witch is in...come sit a SPELL." and printed that out on cardstock. I printed out some of Amanda's digi paper to glue onto a piece of chipboard to make a sign backing. I added inks and paint, layered the image and saying with popdots and attached a ribbon to hang the sign with.
I love how she turned out! I think my visitors and my children will be amused with our Tangled Turtle Door Decor!

Thank you for looking!

Halloween Owl Close Up Card

Halloween is on the way once again so I decided to use Amanda's wonderful OWLS to make another Halloween card.
Halloween and Christmas cards are my favourite cards to make.

After printing the owls out onto card I coloured them using Promarkers and added glitter to the eyes, cloak and collar of the owls.

The BACKGROUND PAPER was cut to size edged with a black ink pad to make it darker and added it to the black 5"X5" card, finally I foam mounted the owls and sentiment.

Thank you for looking.

Trick or Treat Ghosty

It is no secret that I ADORE Halloween and Amanda has created these AMAZING spiderweb papers and these adorable Turtle Halloween digis! This ghosty turtle is probably my favorite!

To create the background, I pieced my papers in Microsoft Publisher. I began with all three solid colors with light spiderwebs on them--orange green and purple. I created the orange base by re-sizing the orange paper to 5×5in. 

Next I made each of the purple and orange 4-3/4" square and then cropped them in half. I layered them on the orange so that they fit evenly and the purple and green stacked. 

Next I cropped down a piece of the striped paper to just have the few stripes between the green to make a "strip" of striped paper to layer on top of the background. 

Once I was happy with this, I still had room to work on my Publisher page. I sized my ghosty digi and made two of him--just in case--and made a small sentiment that matched the color of the papers that I was using. 

As I LOVE the look of white prismacolor on kraft, I chose to print my page out on Kraft cardstock and trim out my background page and sentiment. I colored my ghosty with the white prisma color and the metallic Sakura colors and clear for his eyes. I attached a beautiful swiss dot organza bow with ribbon from Crafty Ribbons and layered everything with foam tape and mounted it on a black piece of cardstock to make an easy card. 

Thank you for looking! I hope you enjoyed my card!

Halloween Turtle Door Handle Hanger.

I hope you like my Halloween door hanger as much as I enjoyed making it.
One side welcomes you in for a "bite", while the reverse lets people know you've gone out haunting.
The sentiments were typed digitally on top of Amanda's "Spider Web Pack Papers" which you can find HERE.
Her great Turtle Digi Stamps make this a really cute and quirky project.
You'll find these two turtles and more HERE.

Trick Or Treat

So today I decided to use Frankie the owl digi. I colored him like Frankie would be colored and added glossy accents to his feet and beek and also his bolts on his neck. I put a cute spider on his head to . Next I decided he was going to be a shaker card so  I designed the card on my cricut . I put seed beads inside  to create the sound of the shake lol and decorated the outside. I love how this turned out and I hope you do too. Products used glossy accents ,k company paper , clear acetate, embellishments from Michael's, and of course Amanda's awesome Frankie the owl that is too cute.
