JULY - DECEMBER MINI CATALOGUE

Hello everyone, Its been a while since my last post.

Due to the COVID outbreak mine and everyones lives changed immensley!

I became a home school teacher to my two children along with loads of other parents. Unfortunately blogging about my projects and SU had to take a back seat.

But, with things slowly improving in my home state of Tasmania. I am finding myself having a little extra time to share once again.

 So, I just had to drop by and share the new catalogue that is available now.

Enjoy The Little Things In Life Design Team - Halloween

Welcome back crafty people 😊 I am so happy you could join me today.

The Video Blog Hop Design Team are a group of demonstrators from all over the world.
We all get together on the last Wednesday of each month to share with you some wonderful projects and tutorial videos. We hope to inspire you with new ideas and hopefully give you some helpful tips along the way.

Today's theme is - Halloween

You are currently here with me Kim Oliver of Australia. You will find a list for the names of the other DT members.


Have you ever created something and then been inspired by what you created?
Well that was me just recently 😉

 I have been creating some Halloween inspired cards using the Creep it Real stamp set and the Spooky Nights DSP.
Those two card creations eventually led to these little projects pictured below.

BOO

Monster Treat Bags

#KOCreationscards #Creepitreal #Halloween #DIY #Treatbags #Partytreats #Kidsparties #Stampinup #Papercraft

I have two children that are still at the 'trick or treat' age (8 and 7) and both love getting dressed up and knocking on doors while yelling Trick Or Treat! They of course LOVE eating all the lollies too 😆

Each year a few of the parents all walk around as a large group with our little Ghosts, Ghouls, Witches and Monsters (all aged under 10) mainly so they don't harass any one who isn't participating in the Halloween evening. Halloween just isn't a huge deal here in Australia.

So, this year I decided that I would create a treat bag to hand out from our little family to each of the little ghouls etc at the end of our evening excursion.
I really think they will get a kick out of them!





You can see how I made these Little treat bags below.





What did you think?
Don't these fangs look awesome with the lollies poking through!!

Here is my card

Have A Haunted Halloween

#KOCreationscards #Halloween #Cardmaking #Rubberstamping #DIY #Witches #Spookybights #Spookycat #Stampinup

Being that Halloween is drawing nearer I decided to create a creepy crawly and slightly SpOoKy card for you all 😱

I used two stamp sets to create this card plus some pieces from the Spooky Night DSP.

I due cut the tree and moon using the stitched shapes framelits and then stamped some images of bats from the Graveyard Gate stamp set.

The frame behind the stitched square is the off cut that has just been reversed. When all was adhered in place I used a black artline pen to continue the tree slightly off the page. I stamped the image of the crow on top of the top most branch.

The mouse and witches hat images are from the Spooky Cat stamp set along with the sentiment.

For the inside I just stamped the bubbling potions and cauldron below a strip of the Spooky Nights DSP.

That was all that was needed to carry the theme from the front into the inside of my card.

#CI17 - Creep it Real!

Welcome back everyone 😊

I had a spare moment today, so I thought I would play with a colour challenge from 

Colour Inkspiration

Pool Party, Lemon Lime Twist, Tempting Turquoise and Flirty Flamingo. 

I entered this card into the #CI17 colour challenge 😁

Aren't they just fun colours!

I decide to pair these colours with the Creep it Real stamp set available from the Holiday Catalogue

(last page)

Creep It Real

#KOCreationscards #Halloween #Creepitreal #DIY #Cardmaking #Stampinup #Monsters #Kidscards

Basic Instructions

My background was created by repeat stamping the sentiment 'Creep It Real' in Lemon Lime Twist.

I layered this upon Flirty Flamingo and basic black card stock. 

I then addded these layers to my card base of Lemon Lime Twist.

I stamped the teeth image in memento tuxedo black then coloured with aqua painters and ink pads.

I made sure that the mouth was deliberatley grimy looking and added black blemishes to the lips too, all in the name of halloween lol.

When all done I applied versamark with a brush to the lips and teeth only and added clear embossing powder, heating until the powder had melted and was smooth. This gave the illusion of depth. 

I also went around the letters with my black stampin write marker to add depth to the lettering.

I then fussy cut this out..

The lollies were stamped and then fussy cut, just to add a little more interest to the frontof my card.

Inside View

For the inside I stamped the sentiment and the lollies in the centre of the card.

Using my Stampin' Write markers I rubbed the colours around the edge of the stamp, huffed and a placed this over the sentiment.

Using a pencil I coloured lightly the tongue.

I decided that this mouth and teeth set would be free of grime and blemishes, as if the teeth and mouth had been cleaned hahaha.
