SBS 3rd Day of Halloween

I'm back with a quick post for the SBS 3rd Day of Halloween challenge. 

 

The challenge for Day 3 is to use gauze and 'wrap up' your project.

 

I was brainstorming with my oldest daughter about what to make and this is what she came up with.  She helped me make the "Mummies" and I made the tag.

 

The "Mummy" is a gauze wrapped lollipop with wiggle eyes, and inked.

 

My printer ran out of ink and I only have a few SBS stamps, so I am a bit limited in my choice of images right now.  Looks like I'll be buying some ink after work tomorrow :)

 

I stamped "Miss Betty Burton" colored in grey tones using Copics.  This was my first try at this and I kinda like it.  I added some Stickles to her hair clips for a bit of sparkle.

 

I used Spellbinders to cut out the circle and scallop circle, and tied it to the lollipop using Timeless Twine.

 

 

We're only on day 3 and I'm already feeling overwhlemed! I think I just need to have some meals planned out a pre-prepared to make for more play time during the week :)

 

Unitl Day 4...

SBS 2nd Day of Halloween

Welcome back to the 2nd Day of Halloween challenges hosted by Simply Betty Stamps!

 

Day 2 challenge is the create something "Witchy" that is not a card.

 

Here is my project:

 

 

 

 

I created a 4x6 picture frame.  I printed out Witchy Betty and colored her with Copic markers.  The background is stamped using the PbD "Clouds" background stamp, using "London Fog" Memento ink.  I used foam squares to shdere Betty to the background.  I don't have a bat punch (what?  really?) so I used the MS butterfly punch and punched out a bunch of butterflies using various Halloween papers.  Then I used foam squares to adhere them to the frame.

 

Betty will be hanging on my wall as part of our Halloween decor this year!

 

Until Day 3...

Master Crafter

Hello Crafty Friends!

Today I would like to share with you my project entry for the Master Crafter contest over at PinkCricut.com.

 

PinkCricut had 100 packages of goodies up for grabs a while back and is holding a contest to see who is the Master Crafter.  There are lots of prizes up for grabs in addition to the title "Master Crafter"!

 

Each package contained the following:

Scissor Mouse sponsored by Westcott , DCWV Rockstar mat stack sponsored by DCWV Deals, Cotton Bag Sponsored by State line Bag Co. , 1/2 sheet of Rhinestones sponsored by Queen & Co., Sentiment stamp sponsored by Pink by Design, Assorted Buttons.

 

Participants were asked to incorporate as much from their goodies as they could in creating their project. 

 

Here is my project:

 

 

I made a Tooth Fairy Wall Hanging with tooth bag.

 

I used everthing that was sent to me, except I added an extra button and the PbD sentiment.  The packages were stuffed pretty full and mine was missing a couple of tiny pieces.

 

I started with a 5x7 photo frame that I spray painted black and then added some shimmer and sparkle using Glimmer Mists (Silver, Diamonds, Gumdrop).

 

Since my gems were lime green, I chose a green patterned paper from the stack as my background.  I used the Scissor Mouse to trim two edges.  It a pretty cool tool, but takes a bit getting used to.  I'll definitely be playing with this more.

 

I added a couple of the gems to the background as the center of the flowers.

 

 

I stamped/embossed the sentiment from the PbD Tooth Fairy set onto cardstock, cut it out with a Spellbinder, inked the edges, and added some bling.

 

 

I then stamped out the "tooth fairy tooth" from the same set and added some stickled to the wings.

 

 

For the tooth bag, I took the canvas bag and sprayed it with Granite, Gumdrop, and Diamonds Glimmer Mists.  Then I stamped the Tooth Fairy Seal onto it using black dye ink.  I added a ribbon to the bottom edge, and some twine tied buttons.

 

 

 

I plan to hang this up in my youngest roomfor her use when she starts to lose her teeth.

 

 

Voting for the Master Crafter begins on 10/7 at 12:01 CST.  Here is the link to stop by and vote for me :)

The Day 1 challenge is to create a Trick or Treat for a Tot (anything for a child).
