Witchy Shrine for Halloween!

This was a really fun project... purple is fast becoming one of my favorite Halloween colors!

"You say I am a witch like it is a bad thing"

Altered Pages Design Team members are having a great time partnering with SinCity Stamps and their Design Team this month!!! I hope you have been inspired by all the great projects this month!

Today I am working with the Window Chipboard Shrine designed by Barbara Rankin.  This was a really fun project.

To start, I used my bone folder and created a score-line where I wanted to fold the shrine. Then I inked all the edges, including the fold creases and back. In this post if I mention stamping, everything is stamped with black ink.

      

Cover the three panels with pattern cardstock. Before adhering stamp images, center panel has the Winged Skeleton stamped and heat emboss with clear embossing powder. Print the Altered Pages Collage Sheet "H"is for Halloween

on Craft Attitude Printable film. Cut the "H" from the sheet you would like to use and adhere with glue stick. 

Cover the shrine window with tacky glue and sprinkle with Vintage Glass Glitter - Lavender. Set aside to dry.  Once dry add foam dots (here they are double stacked). Glue paper raven to the back of the frame and set aside to dry. 

Stamp Pumpkin Hot Air Balloon directly on the left panel and on a white piece of paper and heat emboss with clear embossing powder. Using Copics color the image stamped on the white paper. Fussy cut the witch in the basket and the pumpkin balloon with the cat on top.  Adhere these to the card. 

Stamp sentiment Witch Phrase, "You say I am a witch like it is a bad thing"on the third (right) panel. Add felt raven and Glitz Large Rhinestones Raven (looks like the moon).

Handmade Cards!

Giving and receiving handmade cards is the best! 

I love it when someone sends me a card they made.

 

 

Cards made with Arnold Grummer's Papermill Kit, AlteredPages.com collage sheets and Craft Attitude™ printable film!

 

I love the reaction I get from people when I tell them I made the paper! Then when I tell them most of the paper is made from paper in my shredder they are amazed!  

Here are two BIRD cards, all papers used are handmade using the Arnold Grummer's Papermill Kit! 

The papers used were made from scarps of leftover papers that were any color of yellow and any color of green.  These are the results I got. On some bits of  Arnold Grummer's Iridescent Flakes and Arnold Grummer's Gold Dust were added.

For the card base fold one sheet of hand made paper in half using the ScorPal.  When using the Arnold Grummer's Papermill Kit your sheets of paper will be approximately 5 1/2 by 4 1/4 inches. Then rip paper for the panel on the card. To do this lightly fold the paper where you want it to rip and dampen it lightly with water so you have control of the paper while ripping. 

I printed some of my AlteredPages.com collage sheets on Craft Attitude with my inkjet printer. On the ink side of the film apply glue stick and adhere to the panel.

One of the cards has Gel Medium painted over the picture panel. 

Add a bit of ribbon and adhere the panels to the base, you have beautiful cards for any occasion.  

Mother's Day Blog Hop with Craft Attitude!

If you haven't heard of Craft Attitude™ printable film I highly recommend you spend some time on their website HERE... watch some of the videos and get to the store and pick up some Craft Attitude™!

 

I had FUN! Thank you Jonathan Fong for inviting me along with several other artists to join you in a week long blog hop sharing ideas for Mother's Day.  You will find the links to the other blogs at the end of this post!

My first thought was, what can I do with this product called Craft Attitude™?  I was so afraid it was going to be hard to work with. Let me tell you, I was astonished how easy CRAFT ATTITUDE™ is to work with.

Here are a few items I plan to use my Craft Attitude on in the future. Dominos, bottles, glass in frames, tins with see thru lids, tile, wood bezels, glass pendents and more. Oh you can work on fabric, shoes, paper and even burlap like Cindi did on Monday!

I printed some of my digital collage sheets from AlteredPages.com on my inkjet printer.  I let them sit over night. You really don't need to wait that long. Be sure if you have any lettering on  your image to flip the image before printing. 

The film lifts very easily and doesn't stick to itself like TAPE!

I decided to make a heart ornament with one of the images from the Altered Pages "Mother Love" collage sheet. First rub glue stick on the wooden heart.   

Lift the Craft Attitude™ film off the backing paper.

Lay it with the ink side of the film down onto the glue and rub it until you have it securely attached.  If you need to reposition it, you can, that is the beauty of this product!!!

With an x-acto knife remove the excess film.

Add beads and lace to trim, then a ribbon to tie it around a bottle or hang.

I can see this on a vase with flowers from the garden!

This will last long after the flowers are gone. 

Now it is your turn... 

get some ATTITUDE with

CRAFT ATTITUDE™!

I can't wait to make ornaments for CHRISTMAS... 

and it is only MAY!!!

Now go and see what the other artists are up to!!!
