Halloween challenge at Lost Coast designs/Carmens Veranda stamps Day 20. Iris shutter card.

 

Hi there, today I have an iris shutter card for you.

Made with the super cute gnome witches from lost Coast designs.

This is what I used to make this card.

Mini Gnome set 5.

Gnome witch on broom.

Spiderwebs background.

Checkerboard rustic border.

CV When witches go riding.

Iris shutter die (Elizabeth crafts Designs.)

Flying bats die.

Pumpkins die.

Slimline frame (Marianne design)

Halloween stencil (BOO and pumkin face).

Distressink,

Musterd seed,

Twisted citron,

Spiced Marmelade,

Picked rasberry,

Seedless preserves,

Dusty Concord

Black water resistend ink.

White gelpen,

Red posca marker

Black marker.

Color pencils.

How to make the card.

Start by die cutting all the iris shutter parts.

Ink them up as shown on the photo's.

Put all the parts aside and let them air dry. Do not use a heat tool. The shutter parts will warp and they need to stay flat.

Punch a 1.5 inch cirkel and stamp the little star with.

Color the background and the witch.

Color the edge with Dusty concord.

Assemble the iris shutter as explained on the packaging.

Draw a pumpkin face on the iris shutter with the black marker.

We splash some Seedless preserves on the top ring of the shutter and sponge the word BOO on it.

Glue it to the iris shutter.

Stamp the witch, spiderweb, text on the pink background.

And the checkerboard above and below the purple background card.

Give the stamps accents with the white gel pen.

Assemble the iris shutter further as stated on the packaging of the die.

Can't figure it out? Then look up a video on YouTube.

That will help you through it.

I decorated with bats and pumpkins, but you can of course do that to your own taste.

I had a lot of fun making this card.

I'm curious to see what you make for Halloween.

Feel free to show us on the LCD/CV Blog or Facebook.

You'll then join the challenge and have a chance to win new stamps. 

How cool is that?

31 days of Halloween, day 16. Challenge at Lost Coast designs/Carmens Veranda stamps.

 

Hello everyone,

Today I want to show you this candle.

Even though I am Dutch, I think Halloween is absolutely amazing.

I especially like all homemade Halloween craft .

Halloween appeals to everyone's imagination when it comes to crafts.

But now the candle, bought at the Action, which is a well-known store in the Netherlands.

Especially because it is low budget.

What I used for this candle:

LCD Dancing skeletons.

LCD Crackle background.

Stazon Brown Timber.

Black waterproof ink.

I started by removing the piece of fabric.

First we are going to give the candle a slightly older look.

We dab the candle with a piece of paper towel and some Stazon Timber Brown.

The next step is with a hard coarse sponge and Archival or stazon black.

Not too much otherwise the black will dominate.

With the crackle background stamp we now make a few prints on the candle.

We do this without a stamp block, so free in the hand. Stamp light and airy.

Repeat this until you are satisfied with the result.

Now the candle holder.

It looks a bit plain.

So I put some viva decor terra on it.

It has a nice bloody color and that works well for Halloween.

I stamped the dancing skeletons with black ink and cut them out and glued them on.

Use a thin paper for this.

Decorate further with some spiders and spider web.

This is the front and the back side of the candle.

This is an easy and quick project, and such a fun way to create a Halloween deco piece.

Now it's up to you to make something for the challenge.

Participate and get a chance to win new rubber stamps of your choice.

You don't necessarily have to enter with LCD/CV stamps.

All brands can enter.

But read the rules first, so you avoid disappointment.

I hope to see your work on the challenge blog.

A while ago I won this beautyful Majestic Deer stamp from Fairy Hugs.

That was on a christmas cards group on facebook,

I made this card with it.

I made all the leaves on the antlers with gold glitter.

Unfortunately, that is not so visible in the photo.

 

Day 10 of the Lost coast Designs/Carmens Veranda stamps Halloween challenge.

Today I made a  trick or treat basket. 

Here is the description, and maybe you like to join the challenge on 

Lost Coast Designs and Carmens Veranda stamps.

You can find patterns for such baskets on the internet.

I used a box that had blueberries in it.

What you need to make the basket.

LCD stamps, Spiderweb background, Frank and Franks bride.

Black water-resistant ink

White ink pad

Halloween design paper.

Black sturdy paper, I used 200 grams.

Colorpencils

White gel pen

Red posca marker

Letters to make the trick and treat words

Halloween embellishments

I started by tracing the container on black paper and cutting it out.

I covered it with Halloween paper but left the front and back free.

I then thought it was a bit bare and decided to stamp the spiderweb background.

In hindsight I would have preferred to do that with white embossing powder.

That's for another time.

Stamp and color Frank and his bride and color them.

Cut them out and glue them onto the basket.

Embellish the basket however you like.

Don't forget to put the Trick or Treat on it.

That's so much fun.

Now isn't this a fun Trick or treat basket?

And so easy to make.

It runs the entire month of October. 

I'm curious to see what you make.
