Some Halloween Fun

Happy Halloween Everyone!! I hope that you are handing out some candy tonight OR going trick-or-treating with the little ones. 

Halloween is a fun holiday and it can be so much fun to dress up and just "not be yourself" for a day. haha!

For this post I thought I would share some Halloween Projects that I have created this season. Some of these I have shared previously but some you haven't seen before so this should be fun.

For starters I have to share my daughter's make-up that I helped her do. She wants to be a Zombie-ish Prom girl, our goal was to just make her scary looking. Here is the outcome of the make-up I did for her

Fun right?! We think she looks quite spooky

I made this altered jar for a really close friend of mine, I used a napkin that I found at JoAnns on clearance and mode podge for the lid, added some ribbon, a knob on top and some charms, oh and of course candy!! 

Next I made this fun candy box with Eileen Hull's new Vintage Kitchen Stove Die, this die will be available in mid November.

The candy inside makes it complete, don't you think?

Next I made some ATC's and cards for a Halloween themed swap on the Stampotique's group Facebook Page We always have a monthly ATC swap and it has been so great to participate and get ATCs from around the world

Here are the two I created for my partners

All of these fun stamps can be found at Stampotique Originals

The following are some ATCs I got in return, the first one was made by Magda Polakow, Magda is one of the Stampotique Stamp designer's too. She made this really cute little ATC sleeve too

The Second ATC was from Helen Cooke, She sent a little card along with hers

The next Halloween creations were from the Altered Playing Card Challenge, the theme a few weeks ago was Halloween and I made these spooky Altered playing cards 

My next project was for Linda Ledbetter's Compendium of Curiosities 3 Challenge, The theme that week was "Effects Powders" and I decided to make a postcard for that one, I loved using the powders on my spider and graves! 

For my last project, Stampotique had a new stamp release in September and I wanted to created something Halloween themed with some of the new stamps, I made this Halloween Card using Stampotique's new stamps Skull Moon By New Artist Arwen McCullen

and Connie Shows Off Her Nails by artist Daniel Torrente

Thanks for coming by the blog on this Halloween Day, I hope you have a wonderful, spooky fun Halloween. Don't eat too much candy!!

CHEERS!!

Getting in The Halloween Spirit with Stampotique

Good fall morning to ya! It's getting really chilly here in Colorado and it feel like fall is starting to settle in. I'm so excited for Halloween and I'm equally as excited because Stampotique has released their new stamps!! WOOHOO

If you haven't already seen the new stamps, check them out HERE

We have a new designer Arwen McCullen and her stamps are spooky fun!! 

There are also so many fun and exciting new stamps from current designers.

I got a chance to play with some the other day and I decided to make a Halloween Card because I'm in the Halloween spirit.

I used the new release stamps:

Skull Moon - By Arwen McCullen (this stamp comes in two sizes and this is the larger)

Connie Shows Off Her Nails - By Daniel Torrente

I made Connie into a witch by adding a hat 

The background of this card was just a collage of different halloween paper and wash tapes

I also used some stencils in the background

This was a super fun card to make, I love the outcome and I can't wait to play with more of the new release stamps

Make sure to check out our Designer's Challenge and join in the fun. The theme is Masculine and you could win a gift card to the Stampotique online store and buy some new releases. :)

Have a great day!!

Stampotique Challenge 166

Happy Wednesday all, I'm glad you have stopped by the blog once again. 

There is a new challenge over at Stampotique Designer's Challenge Blog and I'm excited.

The theme is Halloween this time and our wonderful Carol  has chosen the theme. All of us here at Stampotique love Halloween.

In fact our Facebook group is having an ATC Halloween swap for October

For my project this week, I created the ATC and also a coordination card for the Facebook swap

I used Stampotique Stamps:

Hazel Jester and Clothes Text - By artist Linda Peterson

Halloween Cube - By Artist Daniel Torrente

Here is the ATC I created, I printed out the saying from the computer

and here is the ATC with the coordinating card

This was fun and I just love how Hazel is so proud in her Jester costume!

Have a great week!
