Here’s a card using one of the rosettes…halloween-crow-full-sm

Ok, so I’ve kind of gone a little batty over Tim Holtz’s Paper Rosette die. This is what the die actually looks like:
rosette
You run it through any of the die cutting machines – Cuttlebug, Sizzix… and then you fan fold it. I actually didn’t use the center part, I wanted something larger, so I just used a round punch that I had. They are really easy and very addictive – once you make one you’ll want to make them for everything!

Here’s a YouTube video:

In the meantime I thought I’d post a Halloween card I made using some of my new Halloween stamps.

The fence in the background is a Martha Stewart punch. I punched it out of gray cardstock, added a bit of color by dabbing black and silver ink and then sanded it just a little. The black and gray flowers are also from a Martha Stewart punch – I believe it’s the hydrangea punch (has 3 flowers on it). I found the little spider crystals at a scrapbook store, but you could certainly make them using black stick-on crystals and then drawing some legs. Oh, and I added a wee bit of stitching around the edge by first punching holes and then sewing with some dark gray embroidery floss.

Happy Halloween

georgia-witch-smHalloween is fast approaching! Can you believe it’s almost October already!

Georgia’s gettin’ ready! She used bright orange, olive green and black and white polka dots for a very cheerful card. I love how she tilted the main image and framed it in orange.

Oh poor witchy – that’ll teach her to watch where she’s going!

Frankin Fairy takes flight

Frankin Fairy never looked so good! I love Georgia’s use of orange and black with a little pop of purple. That and I like that she cut Frank out and floated him on the card.

She said her inspiration came while she started to thumb through a Paper Crafts magazine. Her eyes landed on the picture of the card called Blue Skies & Sunny Days by Stephanie Halinski. Great job!
