Halloween card

As I had my Indigo Blu papers and stamps out

I decided to make a quick Halloween card.

The paper piece above was one I had ripped into

so rather than waste the leftovers I backed it onto some

orange card which I had stamped some little bats onto

using a set called Tricks & Treats (SU).

The paper  (the Creepsville Gazette) wasn't wide enough

for the full card size

so I covered the join with some black pompoms

and cut some black strips to create the striped border.

I then stamped the Spooky Grandpa, coloured him up

with markers and cut him out to add to the torn out area.

I stamped the wording on orange card and

added to the card.

Halloween goodies!

This is the some of the goodies I have prepared for

our Grandsons for Halloween.

The cube boxes hold some chocolate balls,

the orange one at the back with the bat on it

holds a wagon wheel.

Lots of burnt fingers making these with the

hot glue gun!!

The coffin box holds some chews with a few coins

wrapped in the same paper inside

and the one to the front holds the cake bar.

I have also threw in a chocolate skeleton, crisps

and one of those slap wrist bands.

I used papers from The Works and the stamp set

was Tricks & Treats from SU.

The bats were also from the Works.

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.

Stamp sets used - Tricks & Treats, Labels to Love (SU)

a load of these in no time.

Thankfully yesterday we had no damage to the trees around us

other than a garden, front and back, jam packed with leaves.

The colours are amazing though and the sun is shining on them now!

Have a great week!

Haunted house!

 

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.

This tag was made for the goodie bag for the Grandsons for Halloween.

I used the Tricks & Treats stamp set. I stamped the house out

once in black and once in parakeet party and cut and layered them up.

I cut a piece of card for the grass area and coloured it in parakeet party ink.

The base tag has been embossed on my score board

then I added the house, some punched stars and the sentiment.

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.

Had a nice walk this morning, dry but blustery.

But it's always nice to get down to the lakes for some fresh air.

Yesterday we drove down to Lough Neagh to watch

the sunset. It was spectacular!
