Day of the Dead

How macabre?  This is a little card I cut with my Cricut using the Autumn Celebration cartridge.

Very easily made with the addition of glitter in his one eye and Sakura glaze and souffle pens to highlight.

It's A Gift !

Here is a little gift bag I have made to house a little gift for a friend.  It's not often that I do anything without stamping but this one definately does not have any.

I have used my Cricut Expression to cut a box from some pretty printed card using the Bags, Tags, Boxes & More cartridge.  The cutout was then assembled into the bag with sticky glue. The edges were gone over with yellow ochre chalk ink. 

I have then cut out a few layers of several of the same flowers from a piece of matching printed paper and edged these with Copic marker before applying over the bag and securing with small yellow brads.

The little gift was surrounded by pale pink crumpled tissue and placed in the bag and a piece of pink stitched grosgrain ribbon tied round the handle.

Sunday Challenge No 6

These three tags were done as my entry for the UK STampers Sunday Challenge. Basically the challenge was to produce three tags in leaf shapes and Autumn colours.

My three tags were cut with the Sure-Cuts-a-Lot program and my Cricut using SVG files. One cut in green, one cut in yellow and one cut in orange textured card. I then used various Moonglow Glitz Spritz sprays in copper, antique gold and green, dried in between coats with the heat gun until very sparkly.

I then used one of the images from the Stampendous foliate quad cube stamp (TC51) with Versamark ink to apply various Moon Glow EP's in Tannenbaum Green Gold, Holly Berry Red Gold, Orbit Olive Gold and Midnight Teal Obsidian along with Adirondack Butterscotch and Bottle EP's all heat embossed with the heat gun and applied in layers.

Colobox Chalk Ink in peach and tangerine was added to edges of leaves and patches on the leaf surfaces.

Finally some red and green organza and orange grosgrain ribbons were added along with a gold swirly clip.

Hope you like them :)

Sunday Challenge No 5

Here it is, my entry for this weeks UK STampers Sunday Challenge........only finished just in time !

I used my Cricut and cut two S's in the George font at the largest setting out of pale green card.

On the base 'S' I have just stamped all over with a small acrylic flourish stamp in olympic green Versafine. I have edged the 'S' with dark brown Colorbox chalk ink. The front 'S' was sponged with cut'n'dry foam and Ranger Distress inks in shabby shutters, pine needles and dried marigold. I then stamped with a flower flourish stamp in vintage sepia Versafine. I then used fresh green Colorbox pigment ink and stamped some more of the floral flourishes which I heat embossed with Sparkle n Sprinkle peanut butter EP.

Holes were punched with a crop-o-dile and thin ribbons in brown and cream tied through them top and bottom of the 'S'. To finish two brown flat backed stars was added and the front 'S' stuck offset over the back 'S'.

Hope you like it :)
