Crafting keeps me Sane in a world of insanity.
I make all kinds of things from party stuff (decorations, invitations, diaper cakes, etc) as well as cards. I also do a bit of scrapbooking. Here you will find videos of the projects I have made.
Hi everyone. I want to share with you how I store my stamps as well as my Copic Markers and my Spellbinders dies. One of my YouTube subscribers had asked me how I store my Lawn Fawn stamps & my copic markers, so I thought I would do a video on them. I do have to apologize for the this video being so long but I wanted to make sure that covered everything. At the end of the video there is a message about up coming plans.
Thanks for joining me on my 4th Halloween card. This may be it for my Halloween card series. I am hoping to get one more card done before I leave for vacations but not 100% sure if I will.
This was a lot of fun to make I just love this image. This is Vampy Victoria from C.C. Designs & I used Memento Tuxedo black ink to stamp her on to copic paper. I used E000, E00 & E2 for her skin and R11 &R20 for her mouth. I Used E21, E23,& E25 for her hair with just a touch of E19 for a little more of a red hair look. Next I used B32 for her eyes. I then used my N2, N4, N6 & N8 for the top of her cape, her skirt and shoes. Took my R29, R35, & R39 for her cape.
The orange, black & poka dot paper is from the Doodlebug 6x6 Halloween Parade paper pack as well as the Halloween Stars. The Bat patteren paper is from DCWV The Spooky time Matstack. Using my Spellbinders Standard Cricles Die to cut out the big circle & my EK Success punch to cut out the small ones. I used Amy R's Stamps Witch-ful thinking as my outside and inside sentaments using tuxedo black ink and Brilliance Starlite Silver ink. I used the stars to cover up a couple of my oops.
Here I used my EK Success Bat punch as well as my Studio G Tiny Bat punch to add just a few more bats to this. I also used a $1 stamp from Michaels with Tangelo ink before glueing down the punched out bats.
This is just a better view of all the bats.
I used a Wink of Stella Black Glitter pen on her cape, shirt and boots. This is what it looked like.
I used foam dots to pop her up. I think this is just a fun card for anyone.

I look forward to my Christmas card series and hope you will join me for my next card.
Hello everyone I wanted to share my last Halloween haul with you before I finish my Halloween Card series. I am cutting it short because I am going to Las Vegas with my hubby for our 10 year anniversary. I am hoping to get 2 cards done (I finished one last night so just hoping to get one more in).
I will post links to the sites that I bought everything at but wanted to let you know that some of this stuff may no longer be available because I was on clearance.
I am looking forward to not only my trip (hubby has never been to Vegas) but also starting my Christmas card series. I am hoping to do a 25 days of Christmas cards, so I am going to be recording them in November but posting them December 1. this way I get them done but don't stress out about having to do any Christmas shopping or life just getting in the way. But between now and then I do plan to post videos of other cards but there is not going to be any kind of rhyme or reason to them just good crafty fun.
Thanks for everything and have a safe and Happy Halloween
Hi everyone. I know it has been a while since my last
Halloween video but I just was not feeling it after the last one. That kinda
put me in a crafting funk but I was able to get some goodies and now the wheels
are turning. We also we had our oldest birthday to get ready for which was lots
of fun, our youngest even got dad to put on roller skates (which is a big deal
since he has a bad knee) but we all had a lot of fun.
Anyways on to today's card. This is #3 in my Halloween card
seriesit turned out pretty cute too I
think. I found the spider background stamp and the ink (Opalite- Cypress Frost)
at Tuesday Morning. I used my stamp-a-ma-jig to connect the stamp so it would look
like it was a continues background. I used a stamp from stampendousSpider
Sam I think is what it is called (found it at Michaels in their clearance
section) and used memento tuxedo black ink. I used N0, N2, N4 to color the
spiders body (I did not want it to blend into the background) and N4, N6, N8,
YR & YR07 for her hat. Then I took my YR02 &YR07 for the orange part
of the candy corn and Y11 & Y13 for the Yellow part & then just took my
white gel pen for the white.
I used orange opal ribbon that I got in the clearance
section at Joann’s for just a little more orange pop. Taped that around the
made a bow and stuck it down with a few glue dots. I used a happy Halloween
stamp from Michaels $1 bin and cut it out, then colored the words with my YR07
so they would stand out more. I used some Doodlebug twine to attach her to the
web then popped everything up on foam squares.
I used my Grand Calibur & Nested Candy Corn dies after
using my glimmer mist (Sun Sisters for the yellow, Candy Corn for the orange
& Dazzling Diamonds for the white.) & used a piece left over from the
front and taped everything down on the inside. I left the inside blank one I
had no sentiment for the inside & two because I think the lite colored
candy corn would be a great place to write your own.With the black background it just makes
everything pop more too.
And that’s it for this card. I am hoping to get at least two
more cards done here soon then I will be a small break for a card series ( I
will work on other random card/projects) then I plan to start making Christmas
cards but I wont be posting those videos until Dec. 1 as part of my 25 days of
Christmas cards (not sure if I can get a card a day but it will be something
like that).
