Boo...Eek!

It's the second week of my Halloween theme over at

TAG TUESDAY.

This time I went with a scary Frankenstein head.

I inked up the background and stamped some bats

and wording. This was matted onto some black card.

I then stamped the image and cut him out to

add to my tag.

I finished with some linen string.

For my second tag I simply stamped the Halloween label

in the centre and then added the stamped bats around the edges.

I blended with some purple ink but it's not showing

at all in the photo.

It was mounted onto black card and I finished

it with some string and bakers twine.

It was my turn to choose the theme over at

TAG TUESDAY

and I have gone with Halloween!

I had a few tags to make for the Grandkids albums and goodie bags

so it was a good incentive for me lol.

This one has been made with making an inky background

to which I stamped bats and cobwebs from a stamp set called

Tricks & Treats. I stamped the house separately

and added colour to the windows and door.

It was cut out and stuck in place.

I backed it onto some black card and added

some string for a spooky feel.

My next tag was a bit less colourful but I did use the house

again. I stamped it directly onto the tag

and then stamped the trick or treat sentiment.

It was inked lightly in purple ink and the windows and doors

where coloured in with a fluorescent yellow gel pen.

I finished with some string and bakers twine.

I hope you get time to join in my challenge this fortnight.

Spooky Folio

I have a bit of spooky fun today with this mini Halloween folio.

It will hold 12 photos and I also included some

little booklets to record the Halloween fun games etc.

I did loads of stamping inside, creating some spooky scenes

and tags.

I didn't come up with this myself, it is from a tutorial

I found on YouTube which you can watch HERE.

I used papers from The Works, some Tutti Designs dies

and stamp sets from SU.

Grid Card for Halloween

Another Halloween make.

This one is just a topper as I wanted to stick it to the goodies bags

for each of the Grandkids houses.

Did you ever go to the Haunted House at fun fairs?

I remember going to one many years ago and swore I

wouldn't go again lol. I am very easily spooked!!

I used the Grid card idea for this one and some retired papers.

Very pleased with the finished look and it was super easy and quick

I stamped the house and cut it out, adding some purple ink to the white parts.

The background was inked up using lemon lime twist and gorgeous grape inks.

I stamped the little headstones and bats, then added the house with 3d foam.

The sentiment was stamped, inked, then chopped up to fit the spaces.

Trick or treat?

As we are now in October I thought I would make a start

on the Halloween stuff for the Grandkids.

First up is a very quick card.

The background has been stencilled using my leaf stencil

and black ink onto copper clay card.

I cut out the white piece using the countryside corners dies.

The sentiment and scary face came from 

Tricks & Treats stamp set.

You can watch my quick reel here

I queued up for an hour yesterday to get my flu injection.

Luckily it wasn't raining on us!!

Ended up getting both flu and covid.

Today I feel like I have been run over by a truck!

Fingers crossed it clears off soon.

Have a great day (a wet one over here) whatever you are up to!

Happy Halloween!

This is another card I made up for my October customers.

I have used the beautiful Framed Florets bundle and Fitting Florets dsp

available in my shop from tomorrow!!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

These are the treats I made for the Grandsons.

Bit of a blurry photo but I simply filled some

Halloween cups with treats. I then made rosette,

inked up with black for a spooky feel.

I added some chocolate coins to the front and a spider to the back.

They were attached to a straw and stuck in their cups.

The boys did love them thankfully.

My 9 year old Grandson said: 'you put so much work into these Granny

and now we are just going to dismantle them'!

He does make me smile that boy!!
