Haunted Halloween Flower Wreath

 I love this wreath! 

I love making these paper flowers! 

Using the Concord and 9th floral wreath dies from C9 Summer Camp and another flower die set from C9 I cut out a bunch of flowers and leaves from some purple, black, grey, and vellum papers. I used a variety of inks to give some depth and shading to the flowers and leaves. 

After all the pieces were shaded, I used the Tim Holtz shaping kit and the Sizzix fold and form-making tool to shape all of the flowers and leaves. Once shaped I glued the flower layers together and then using a hot glue gun adhered them all to the grapevine wreath that I bought at a local craft store. 

Can you spot the spiders? I also glued on some plastic spiders and used the hot glue to make some spider webs. 

 I was going with a more Haunted Mansion feel to this wreath and I love the way it turned out! 

Thank you for visiting and sharing my love of paper crafting! 

Have a Spooktacular day! 

Cute & Spooky Halloween Flower Wreath.

 I absolutely love how this turned out!

The bright colors of the flowers against the white wreath really stand out.

All of the flowers, leaves, and bats are made out of paper!

I used some die sets from Concord and 9th to cut out all of the flowers and leaves, then I added some shading to them using various inks.

I then used the Tim Holtz shaping kit and the Sizzix fold and form-making tool to shape all of the flowers.

The little bats were cut out from the Lawn Fawn Haunted House add-on die set for the scalloped treat box die.

Thank you for visiting me today, I hope you have a fun and crafty day!

Baby Girl bag

I have a wonderful friend who supports me so much in my crafting and keeps me busy with some orders. One of her recent orders was a bag for a baby girl. I went to work and love how this bag turned out! 

 I have to admit I struggled a little bit on the decorating of the bag, nothing was really coming to me, so I reluctantly turned to Pinterest. I try not to use it too often, but it helped me out this time around. I found this card and followed the design just changing out the colors and other things. 

                                                        

I used my Cricut Explore Air to cut the bag and the word "baby". With the baby word I cut it out of white cardstock four times and then the patterned paper once, I glued them all together to layer them up and give some dimension. 

The patterned paper came from the DCWV Nana's Nursery Baby girl paper pad. I love the colors in this pad and chose some fun prints out of it to layer together in a staggered and angled position on the bag. 

The bakers twine is from Tim Holtz Idea-ology. 

I used a white gel pen to write in the other words to finish the sentiment. 

I used my ATG for some of the adhesive along with Tombow Mono Multi Glue. 

Thanks for visiting my blog today, and happy crafting!

Masculine Card for this month's card swap!

Good crafty day to you all, I want to share with you the card I made for my card swap group that met last night. Our theme this month was masculine to help us get ready for Father's day coming up.  

I have to admit I hate making masculine cards, they are so hard for me because I am just a girly girl and like all the glitter and embellishments. And I love pink and bright colors.
