Dragon'sLair Den: The Witch in the Moon

Hi everyone! It's me, Tonya and I'm here to share my project for this month using the Trick or Treat Collection from the Dragon's Lair Den. I altered a 4 oz can to hold a special treat. :-)

From the Trick or Treat Collection Paper Pack I choose the "purple witch" image which I set my printer on the #10 business envelope setting and printed onto a sheet of white cardstock. I trimmed to fit and  then adhered to the can. I added Diamond Dew Drops to the bottom and lace to the top of the can.

Next I printed Trick or Treat Journaling Cards and fussy cut the witch out which I added a little chalk pastels to her and then lightly outlined her with a sharpie. I added Crystal Stickles to the moon. I set that aside to dry. Next I cut a piece of burlap ribbon to fit a mini October desk top calendar which I adhered to the top of the ribbon, added some bling to two of the edges and glued one corner to the can. The scrap leftover from fussy cutting the witch out I punch three leaves that I crumpled up , inked and adhered to the can along with the witch image. I finished off with sequin, dew drop and cording to make this spooky cute treat holder.

Supplies Used:

Dragon's Lair Den: Trick or Treat Collection Paper Pack, Trick or Treat Journaling Cards
Other Supplies: Stickles, Diamond Dew Drops, Sequins, Leaf Punch, Black Sharpie, Bling, Cording, Lace, Chalk Pastels

Enter at Your Own Risk

Hi everyone! I'm here to share a  project I created for Eileen Hull's Trick or Treats Art with Heart Challenge and Sizzix Halloween Challenge.
I used the Sizzix Scoreboards XL Die Box Square and the Sizzix Bigz XL Die Country Cottage 3D to create this spooky cute haunted house. 

I decorated an empty spool which had lace wound on it with cardstock, chipboard alphabets, a ghost and moss.

I added a spiderweb sticker from Pink Paislee and scream verbiage that I cut from some scrapbook paper. I also cut from cardstock On The Edge Die Iron Gate which I glued around the top edge of the ATC block along with some moss.

The roof is cut from glitter chipboard and I adhered vellum inside the little house for the windows. The oval Halloween saying is a free image that I got last year from Ephemera Vintage Garden.

The witch is a cut a part which is from the Echo Park's Chillingsworth Collection. Love this collection!!! 

You can open the little house up and add a little tea light too. I apologize for the photos not being the best but I had no sunlight and it was late in the day when I was able to do my photo shoot but I hope you liked what I shared :-)

There is still a little bit of time to submit your projects to both the Eileen Hull's Trick or Treats Art with Heart Challenge and Sizzix Halloween Challenge. I know I cut it very close this month but I've been busy with magazine calls, repainting the dining room which should have been easy but wasn't…the "popcorn" from the ceiling was coming off as my dad was rolling the paint on. Needless to say we had to scrape the "popcorn" off the ceiling and now there is a fine coat of dust all over everything…can we say yuk?!?!? Tomorrow my parents are coming back to the house and hopefully I will not have any more mishaps…fingers crossed.

If you have any questions please let me know.

Supplies Used:

Sizzix: Eileen Hull's: Sizzix Scoreboards XL Die Box Square, Brenda Walton's: Sizzix Bigz XL Die Country Cottage 3D, Tim Holtz: Sizzlits Decorative Strip Die Cobblestones and On The Edge Die Iron Gate

The Robin's Nest: Snow Flurry Tray

Hi everyone! I'm here to share a project I created for the Robin's Nest. This year has flown by and can you believe that Christmas is only two months away!?!?!? Most of the time I have over half of my shopping finished and a few presents already made but not this year. Gulp! Well, since the Robin's Nest Alter Art design team is cross promoting with Walnut Hollow and one of my choices was the 10"x12" rectangular tray I decided to altered it into something Christmas/Winter related and this is what I came up with.

For more details and photos please hop on over to the Chattering Robin's blog!

Chester & the Boneyard Band

Hi everyone! I'm back to share another quick Halloween card I created. The base of the card is a folded 6"x6" piece of purple cardstock and then I adhered layers of cardstock/scrapbook paper to along with a paper doilie which I sprayed with Tattered Angels Chalkboard Mantis glimmer mist.

The vineyard band cut apart is from Echo Park 's Chillingsworth Manor collection. I distressed the edges, inked and added pop dots before I adhered to the card. I made tulle bows which I glued behind the card along black twine, pom poms and flowers.

I finished off the card with some green ric rac, buttons, sequin and Dew Drop. There you have it another easy peasy card. :-) If you have any questions please let me know. 

Also I am submitting this card for the Orange and Black/Halloween theme challenge over at the Paper Wings Production blog.

Thanks for stopping by, hope your Monday is fabulous and enjoy creating!

Crafty Card Gallery: Clyde's Pumpkin Patch

Hi everyone! I'm here to share my card I created for the Crafty Card Gallery. The theme for the month of October we had to either use pumpkin/jack o'lanterns or chocolate. 
This is what I came up with for my card. The base is a folded 6"x6" piece of purple cardstock. I cut and layered patterned cardstock/scrapbook paper which I adhered to the base of the card.

The Clyde's Pumpkin Patch image is cut from Echo Park's Chillingsworth Manor  Poster  and Tickets sheet of cardstock. I distressed the edges and then inked. Then added pop dots to the back to give it some "height". 

I cut three thin strips of orange tulle and made mini bows out of them. I adhered behind the image along with some black and white polka dot flowers and some mini lime green balls picks that I had bought at Christmas but never used. I also added sequins, dew drops and black lace.

I finished off the card with ric rac and buttons. I'm really pleased with how the card turned out and was very easy to make.
Also I am submitting  this card for the orange and black or Halloween themed challenge over at Paper Wings Production blog.

If you have any questions please let me know. Thanks for stopping by, hope your Saturday is awesome and enjoy creating!

I Believe in You

Hi there! I'm back to share another quick 3"x5 1/2" card I created using some of my leftover scraps of cardstock and scrapbook paper, along with some die cuts from K & Company, button, sequin and dew drop. Also the sentiment is from Unity Stamps.

Another easy peasy card that didn't take very long to create! :-)

If you have any questions please let me know. Thanks for stopping by, hope your day is great and enjoy creating!

The Baby's Debut

Hi everyone! I'm here to share a very quick project I created using more of my scraps of cardstock and scrapbook paper. Like the Hello Friend card that I shared a few days ago the base is 3"x5 1/2". I added scraps which I inked the edges and adhered to the top of the card. This digital image is one in several on a collage sheet I purchased a few years ago on etsy. I was going to include the link but the shop is no longer open. I adhered the image to the card along with a clear sequin and a Pearl Dew Drop. Pretty easy huh? :-)

Also I wanted to share that my step daughter is pregnant which will be my hubby's first grandchild and mine too…unless you want to count the dogs as grandkids that my son and his girlfriends has. ;-) 
I'm not sure if I'm going to use this as a card or as a page in a baby junk journal. We will see as time draws near.

If you have any questions please let me know. Thanks for stopping by, hope your Thursday is awesome and enjoy creating!

Hello Friend

Hi everyone! I'm here to share a quick card I created using some left over scraps that I had laying around. The card base measures 3"x5 1/2" folded. I cut eleven strips of cardstock and scrapbook paper in various sizes and inked  all edges to fit on the base of the card. I glued the ends of two of the strips of cardstock, the height and width of the card base, then proceeded to "weave" the strips of paper and once finished glue all ends down on the base of the card.

The wooden hello blurb I had found it in the clearance section at Michael's. I loved the fact that it was only 10¢. I just love a good bargain. :-) I sprayed the blurb with Tattered Angels Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Mist. I printed the "friend" on cardstock, cut into a banner, inked edges and adhered underneath the hello blurb. I finished it off with a sequin and Dew drop.

I love how you can see the cardstock through the hello blurb!  If you have any questions about this card please let me know.

Thanks for stopping by, hope your Monday is wonderful and enjoy creating!
