I did something fun for myself and for the Bazaar. I took some set of my pictures to a local printer and had cards made. I boxed them all up this morning in clear boxes and they look great! It's hard not to feel a small thrill of pride in myself. If they don't sell, I know my Mom will like them!
In crafty news, I'm in charge of our local school bazaar this year. I've been a vendor the last four years, so it's interesting being on the other side of things. I'll have some pictures later of what I'm making....it's fun! Hopefully I'll inspire some of your Christmas crafts! My main goal is to make all of my stuff without buying anything! (okay, I'll confess, I bought some clear boxes for my Krafty Card sets...but so far, that's all!) I used the green, orange, and bright blue cards to make sets of six. Love those Tim Holtz Stamps!
Martha Stewart spiderweb border punch, sparkly orange paper (I think it's Die Cuts with a View.)
The spiderweb and spider are stamped on separate pieces of acetate so it looks like the spider is floating on the web.
Just a tri-fold Card. Basic Grey stamps.
I found this fold on Splitcoast Stampers. I think it's the "Joy Fold Card."
Martha Stewart's "Around the Page" punches in the Spiderweb design. Stamp by Tim Holtz.
I used a glue pen to draw over the black bats printed on the paper and then I flocked 'em with black Doodlebug flocking. Any black flocking will do.
For the crow, I used clear embossing powder on the Versafine Ink (you have to be fast!) and then used Tim Holtz's inking tool to smudge the Dusty Concord Distress Inks all over the image.
Spider punch by Martha Stewart. I punched it twice, once from patterned paper, once from black. I popped it up with a piece of foam adhesive so it would look shadowed.
I gave the bird here a slight wash of red color pencil...apparently I took pictures too soon!
mmm....cupcakes!
I added some red and blue edging to the butterflies on this one, as well as some red stickles...
