Globecraft & Piccolo - Welcome Bubble Frame

It's time for another project with Globecraft & Piccolo! Today's project is a Halloween themed home decor bubble frame inspired by Mary Howitt's poem The Spider and the Fly.

""Will you walk into my parlor?" said the Spider to the Fly."

This was a quick and easy project to put together! Choose some fun papers and embellishments, including the Fancy Labels & Roses Accents, Bling on a Roll and Oval Bubble Frame Kit. Supply links below.

Cut apart the Fancy Frame. Cover the Bubble Frame with the papers, the Fancy Label circle and Accents with Embossing Enamel Powders, glitter and 3D Gels. The circle behind the skull is a mix of Micro Black Embossing Enamel Powder and Pure Sparkle Silver Glitter.

The skull was a plastic ring. I cut off the ring part and used hot glue to adhere the skull to the circle. Cut 2 of the circles from the Bling on a Roll and glue into the eye sockets.

After embossing the wings, I used hot glue to attach the wings to the back of the circle not the frame.

Love the layers!

The dragonfly was covered in Mars Black 3D Gel and Pure Sparkle Silver Glitter was added before the gel dried.

 I only used 1 layer of Embossing Enamel Powder so that the surface would be textured like old wrought iron. Add a little eyelash yarn for more texture and fun...that's it!

Have some crafty fun this weekend!

Globecraft & Piccolo - Whimsical Steampunk Pumpkin

Happy Funday!

Say hello to my little friend...Jack!

Today's project started out as a clearance item from last Halloween. Primitive pumpkin in a sickly yellow-green color. (it's not your screen...lol) Add a few fabulous metallic G&P Embossing Enamel Powders over the fun steampunk inspired Accents and ta-da!

A new and improved Jack! Want to make your own steampunk gourd? Ink up the Accents with the Embossing Adhesive Fluid, cover with your choice of Embossing Enamel and heat. Repeat. That's it!

See the clickable supplies below!

Make some time to craft this weekend!

Globecraft & Piccolo - Art Journal of Peculiar Events

Welcome to the first Friday of October!

Today I have another Halloween creation to share - this time an altered journal! Simple color scheme, themed Piccolo Accents and a bit of bling and patterned paper make this a quick project. See the bottom of this post for the supplies!

Love how easy it is to shape the Bling on a Roll to my project...and, of course, the sparkle...

 That shiny, glittery shape is a ghost!

What a great Halloween tree, right?! See the 'staining' on the Accents? Coat the shapes with Glastique and when it's almost dry, use a foam blender and Distress Ink over the piece. The areas that are not quite dry will absorb the ink! 

Make time to craft this weekend!

Globecraft & Piccolo - Halloween Pumpkins Altered Frame

Today I have a fun Halloween altered frame project. Need a bit of fall decor? This cute frame comes together in less than an hour...including dry time!

To make this frame, you'll need a few items from the G&P store:

3D Gels: Burnt Umber, Mars Black, Orange, Satin Gold

Embossing Enamel Powder: Mossy Glen

Enamel Powder Adhesive Fluid

Glastique, Gloss

Lil Carved Pumpkins Accents A117

Haunted House Accents A110

Steampunk Airship Accents A100

Tim Holtz Distress Ink: Mustard Seed

Other supplies:

misc. frame (this would be so cool in a Bubble Frame, too! Tune in next week - I actually use one!)

scrap of patterned paper

scrap of fuzzy fibers

Your first step: color the Accent pieces with the 3D gels. *Let dry.

*To add texture to the 'enameled' pieces: let dry until the pieces are tacky. Using a scrap piece of paper, gently dab the semi-wet surface, pulling off small amounts of the gel. Repeat until you like the texture. Let dry.

Using your finger (or a paintbrush) apply the Satin Gold 3D Gel to the raised parts of the frame. LOVE this subtle gilded look!

These carved pumpkins have hilarious faces! They would be even funnier with googley eyes!

When the frame and all of the pieces are dry, lay the house on the scrap piece, trace under the house. Ink up the area and emboss with Mossy Glen. 

Using a foam blender, add the moon using Mustard Seed. Attach all of the Accents and fiber using the Glastique.

That's it! 

Is it too early to start on Christmas cards?

WOYWW #26 (177) - A Mess & A Card

Gasp! It's been 4 months since I've posted a What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday...I had to do a search to find my last WOYWW pictures! (It was a good one...Anniversary ATC reveal.) I have missed  visiting Miss Julia Dunnit in all her queenly craftiness...and those that follow her. Sigh. Be sure to visit the WOYWW posts for a lovely adventure into crafty spaces. (You know you can't just visit one!)

Lately, the time I've had in the studio has been late at night, working mostly on design team projects. As soon as the project's done it's time to take pictures, edit, write the post, then sleep, get up and go to work the next morning. Not a lot of time lately to clean up...proof in the pictures:

The good news is that I'm still making stuff.

Thanks to my sweet hubby who takes care of dinner on those nights (sometimes with help from the awesome kiddos that reside here!)

Tomorrow "clean flat surfaces in the studio" is a priority!

I'm looking forward to reorganizing. The weather has turned cold and I'm feeling the need to clear space for holiday projects!

Here's a card that came from the mess that I created for the Card Makin' Mamas Challenge Blog...

The front of the pop up card.

 The bat is embossed. Love that Smash tape.

Sigh. Yes, the pop up is a little crooked. Another late night project/photo/edit. Didn't catch it in this photo. Obviously.

Close up of the clear embossed bat.

More Smash tape. It makes me happy.

This is Digital Delights Vampire Pippin. A not crooked pop up. The cobwebs are clear embossed, too.

It's 2300. That's 11:30pm. Time for me to get to the sleep portion of my day!

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Inky hugs,

Angi
