Pumpkin

This is the finished project of what I had posted earlier this morning that I was working on.  Isn't this pumpkin just the cutest!!
It's made with terracotta plant pots, paint, chennelle wire and felt.  It's really easy to create.  You start with a large terracotta plant pot with matching base.  You paint them both orange and glue the base onto the top of the plant pot.  Then paint a smaller terracotta plant pot brown and glue it upside down to the very top center.  Using a black paint marker add whatever pumpkin face you would like to add along with lines going down the pumpkin (all the way around). Finish the face by adding a few white lines for highlites using a white paint marker. Curl a green chennelle wire around a pencil and glue it into the hole in the top of the brown pot.  Cut 3 leaves from green felt and add vines with a black paint marker.  Glue them onto the top of the pumpkin. Using clear glitter paint, add glitter to the top of the pumpkin, stem and a little on the leaves.

Happy Halloween


This is a halloween card that I created today using this adorable witch digi from Crafty Sentiments called Annabel Pumpkin Witch.  The sketch that I used is from this month's challenge at CLP. The base of my easel card is black card stock.  For the front of the card I cut a square piece of orange card stock just a little smaller.  I stamped a spiderweb in the upper corner and used a black inkpad to add distressing around the edges.  To that I added a piece of black card stock that I punched the edge using an eyelet lace border punch.  I cut a strip of orange, stamped the corners with a spiderweb stamp and distressed the edges with black ink.  I added that to a piece of black cardstock that I punched the bottom using the eyelet lace border punch. I added a piece of black licorice baker's twine just above the punched strip.  I colored the image using crayola and prisma colored pencils.  I distressed the edges using a black ink pad.  I added it to the card tucking the bottom corner under the baker's twine. I added five spiders all over the front.  To create the spiders I punched mini spiders out of black card stock and added beetle black glitter to them.
For the bottom of the card I cut a square piece of orange card stock and stamped spiderwebs in each corner.  I distressed the edges using a black ink pad. I stamped the sentiment on white card stock. I stamped a small piece of the spiderweb in the two top corners and distressed it with a black ink pad.  I added some more of the black glitter spiders.

This is a close up of the spiders.

Christmas Wishes

Here is a Christmas card that I made using Santa Christmas from Karen's Doodles. The base of my card is cream card stock backed in burgundy card stock.  I added a piece of green card stock. To the bottom of the green I added a piece of burgundy that I punched using an eyelet lace border punch.  I colored the image using crayola and prisma colored pencils and backed it first in burgundy and then in cream.  I added a bit of brown sugar baker's twine with a snowflake charm attatched with a bow.  I added a sentiment from Annette. You can get that freebie by going here. I added a little color to the wording in the center and around the edges. I backed it in burgundy and cut around it using scalloped scissors.  I added 3 burgundy pearls to the top corner and 1 to the center of the snowflake charm.

This week's challenge at 2 Sisters is to create a fancy fold card.  Our sponsor is Stitchy Bear Stamps.  I created this easel card using this adorable witch image called Starr.


I used the color combination of black, white, purple and gold.  All the bling on the card is created using gold stickles. I even added a little to the gold square brads on the flowers.
