Hello, Today I have a Pumpkin Tealight Holder to share with you. This is a project I designed for the +The Craft Blog by Trimcraft where you can find the tutorial and a FREE downloadable Template (links at end of post)
I love the Wow gold embossing powder and just had to use it to emboss this fab sugar skull stamp, for a distressed look.
A battery operated tealight is perfect to use inside, I found some that were orange for halloween. You can find them in different colours and some have flickering lights too.
Why not make one or more for your very own seasonal pumpkin patch?
Hello, I was recently invited to be a
Guest on the DT over at Cherish The Memory to work with the Sweet Winter
Season collection from Studio Light. (All product links and Youtube
Video at end of post)
For my 2nd project I took inspiration from the star shaped sheep image, which is a sweet 3D layered decoupage, and created a star shaped easel card using star dies that echoed the shape. A little piece of clear Acetate invisibly provides a base for the easel to rest on the stopper
I covered the easel card with blue paper from the 12x12 pack, inking the edges with a blue distress ink. This collection also includes a really nice clear stamp set. I used the snowflakes and music stamps, along with one of the sentiments, stamping in Versamark ink and heat embossing in Gold.
To finish, the card was embellished with adhesive pearls and ribbon trim. This star shaped easel folds down to fit into an envelope all ready for posting out.
The 3D decoupage elements are die cut and
easy to press out, layer up with 3D foam pads and add to your makes, there is a great selection of
images on the sheets, perfect for your winter themed makes. I do hope
you like todays project and please do pop back for more makes with this
collection.
Hello, Today I have a simple Halloween themed bridge card to share with you. The Free Halloween downloadable papers from Trimcraft are
fun, cute and have funky colours perfect for making a simple ‘Bridge’ card
design, especially as they have sentiments included too.
I decided to make a little spider and add a web along
with a floating Ghost for a fun Halloween greeting.
Step By Step:
Cut Dovecraft black card approx. 11” x 6”
With long side across your scoring board, score from left
at 1 ½”, 3”, 8”, and 9 ½”
Decorate card panels by matting pattern paper onto white
card and then again onto panels using double sided tape.I’ve used pink pattern paper for centre and
inner panels and turquoise skull paper for the 2 out panels.
Cut a ‘bridge’ strip from white card approx. 8” x 2” and
decorate with a strip of ghost pattern paper.
Attach bridge strip by folding in left side of card and
adhering the strip to the first panel, take it across the card and adhere where
it meets the edge of the end panel, this will allow the card to fold down.Use a clear drying glue to allow adjustment.
Cut out Halloween sentiment, bat, skulls and ghost.
Adhere sentiment to centre panel at top and bat to overhang left panel.
Adhere ghost to a strip of acetate and attach to centre
panel using clear drying glue on the back, hold in place for s few seconds to
prevent it slipping.Adhere skill trio
to acetate and attach under bridge section.
Adhere a piece of white spiders web trim to panel at
right hand side, apply adhesive where it will be covered by spider and eyeball)
Make a spider by cutting a circle of Dovecraft black
glitter card, adhere black cord ‘legs’ to the back and then cover with a circle
of black card. Add 2 googly eyes to spider before adhering to spider’s web.
To finish, add a couple of eyeballs (these were from last
year’s Trimcraft free Halloween download papers) add black adhesive gems to
ghost’s eyes and centre of eyeballs.Add
a panel to the back of your card for the greeting.
