Our American Ink group meeting was so much fun and the food was excellent!
Sherry, Pearl and Cheryl worked OUT to make so many fabulous Halloween decorations - goody bags, cards, candy witch legs, and more. Of course I forgot my camera at home, so I'm counting on Sherry to share photos with me so I can show you how terrific everything was.
We have been challenged to go all out on Christmas decorations in December for our annual gift exchange gathering. They're on! I can't wait to share all of the ideas (and I started a list today).
For today's gathering, I took a simple Halloween make & take that uses Fang-tastic and In Colors Concord Crush and Poppy Parade.
I love the little bat. And those are two black jewels on the oval, along with a punched Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border. That's a fun punch!
This Pear Pizzazz card was fun and easy to make. I used the Fang-tastic stamp set in the Holiday Mini, as well as the bat punch.
I stamped the vampire boy twice - once on Nite Owl dsp so I could cut out his vest with the pattern on it.
The layers are sponged around with Pear Pizzazz and I added a glimmer brad (In Color pack) to the sentiment after punching it out.
The card layout is a sketch I took from http://sasya-sketches.blogspot.com/2010/09/ss27.html
I think this Halloween stamp set in the Holiday Mini is so cute. It's called Fang-tastic and has a bat, pumpkin, two phrases, a broom and a vampire boy, in addition to the stamps you see here.
I used the In Color paper pad to cover the front of this Pear Pizzazz card, with a knot of Concord Crush ribbon around the center.
The phrase was stamped in Concord Crush and punched using the Modern Label Punch. Then I added a purple glimmer brad. I used an aqua painter and the ink pads to color the image.
