Hellooooo!!! It's Day 18 of the 31 Days of Halloween. Today I've got a Magic Color Slider card to share with you. I am nuts about this this die from Lawn Fawn. It's genius! I used a great Sugar Skull stamp from Stampendous with it this time around. If you haven't seen a card like this before, you may be wondering where the magic is. See that little blue tab up there? If you pull on it...you'll see how cool these cards can be. There are plenty of videos on how to make these, from Lawn Fawn themselves, as well as plenty of others. To color my images, I used Memento Markers. The colored skull and the ribbon image were both stamped with VersaFine ink. The upper skull (on acetate) was stamped with StazOn. The banner is from Bombshell Stamps, and using it made me really miss being on that team. I love making these Magic Color Slider cards. I've made a few others, if you'd like to see one, you can check it out HERE . Please visit the rest of the Wi...

Greetings! It's Day 26 of the Smeared Ink 31 Days of Halloween. Along with that, this week, the Stampendous team is featuring projects that are All About the Dead. I made a card featuring the Skull Roses stamp, and the Spider Web stencil from Dreamweaver. I colored the stamped image with my Tombow watercolor markers. Then I fussy cut it out. I embossed the Spider Web with glossy black embossing paste on to teal cardstock. After it dried, I started adding my torn paper and punched border. I used some wonderful Mini Glue Dots to adhere my black cabochons to the top of the card. The mini Glue Dots are usually my go-to dot size of choice. They are the perfect size and really bond so everything so well. That's it for me today.

Greetings! It's time for a new Wicked Wednesday ATC challenge! This week, the theme is "April Fools' or Favorite Holiday." Our sponsor is Creepy Cute Stamps . I went with Halloween! I used their Dia Los Muertos image, and my watercolor markers to color her up. I used a fun pom pom fringe to finish her off. I also added a simple "Boo" sentiment and fun microbeads with glitter to the border. You can see the little bits of glitter mixed in with the beads. What's your favorite holiday? Join in this week, to let us know! Be sure to visit the WW blog to see what the rest of the gals cooked up. Thanks for stopping by. Have an inspiring day!

Happy November! It's officially Dia de los Muertos, one of my favorite holidays. The Bombshell gals wanted to bring you a special blog hop in honor of this very special celebration. Here's what I made. I used the ever-popular Sugar Skulls set. I started by stamping the medium skull in the background. Then I just layered my papers and stamped my sentiment on top. I thought these papers (from DCWV) worked really well with the decorations on the skulls. Many of the other gals have fabulous projects on the Bombshell Blog . Please be sure to visit them! Also, I would like to wish Bombshell Stamps ' creator and owner, Shannon, a very happy Birthday. You rock, Shannon! Have a rad day! Since it's the 1st of the month, I should also have a Desert Islands Crafters Challenge for you. Hurricane Sandy really f'ed me up, and I forgot. I am going to try to get that done and posted for your viewing pleasure  Until then, please visit DICC to see what the latest itinera...
