Gooey Monsters

So working on a card for my niece I came across a dingbat font that had monsters as the letters.  I found this guy and started manipulating it to be the right size and getting the layers to show up the right way.  I think found another font for the Boo! and used that along with Arial as the black letters.

Simple as that.....

Halloween Cards

Halloween!  My most favorite holiday of the year, Dia de Los Muertos being the second favorite.  So I had started out thinking that I would make a card for my niece since she hasn't been doing all that great with her treatment but it turned out to be so much more.  I started with the cut files that I got when I found some freebies on Letter Delights website.  From there I spent way too much time trying to figure out the right size so that it would cut and not rip the paper or better yet not cut at all.

The first photo is of the card that I am sending niece, the second was supposed to go to my other niece but I decided to keep it and make her something else.  The last one I used a cut from the baby cards that I made and then adding a spider ontop of the onsies.  I may send this card to her, it's not like she will take notice anyway since Paige is 2, not exactly an age that is known for them remembering things.

Baby Time!

 

As you can see I have been in a baby making card mood.  I had this idea and it ran off and became something much  larger than I had thought it would be.  So what was the idea that had me in a fight?  Clothes pins, mini clothes pins.  I saw these mini clothes pin at the scrapbook conventiton that I went to this summer.  I saw them and immediately knew that I had to get them and make a card with them.  This card is probably going to require special postage but I think it is well worth the money.

Texas........Big Sky Country Stationary Set

I think out of all my cards that I have recently posted this one is a favorite.  Living in Texas you find out that people are Texas bred and Texas proud.  This card is part a set of cards that I made for a stantionary set.  I have 11 cards and one box that I am going to decorate using some paint and some other things.

I have a few other states that I am going to try my hand at but if they don't work out the stanionary kit will be a Texas set of cards.

To make this I had to sort through a dingbat font and then I used my Silly to cut the shape in red, white and blue and then adding a star.  It actually isn't a hard project it just takes some time to make sure that you get the cuts correct since you don't want the flag to be incorrect which it can be if you don't pay attention.

So what I did was cut out red, white and blue texas shapes from there I used a ruler and craft knife to cut up the shapes.  From there I mounted everything to the white background and then added a star in the blue section as there is supposed to be.  I had a hard time trying to decide if I wanted the star to but shaped like the state or if I wanted it to look as it does above.  I picked option B and I must say it looks pretty darn awesome!

Now to move onto the box to put thsese in.

Hexagonal Peacock Woman

Here is one of my cards using the Mica paints that I have fallen in love with.  The paper is from a stack I got at Hobby Lobby and the stamp is from Stampland, from the stamp convention.  I first cut out the hexagons, which I got from my library on the Silly then I stamped the woman on it after laying out the hexagons.  From thiere I just painted over the stamped woman and let it dry.  I was going to emboss it but at the time I didn't have any baby wipes to clean the stamp with.  I have them now and I just haven had the chance to do the stamping again.

Merry and Bright

Here is the first Christmas card of the season for me.  I have loved this stamp so much that I am simply itching to paint it with different colors.

Vampire Snow White

As you can see I've made Snow White look like a vampire.  I thought it was a perfect mood setter for this Halloween.  Instead of an apple I put a bat although I could have used the apple but I decided not to.  I backed this card with some Martha Stewart Halloween paper which was tombstones.

I'm getting better with the lettering delight cuts and using my Silly.  Now if I could just figure out how to use SVG cuts on my machine.  I think it may be a buy the software either way just one was is different than the other.  Just not sure what to think on a whole about that.

I do so love Snow White....and her face was white as snow.
