Halloween Bat Treat Cone/Box


This is my version of a creation our SU founder Shelli Gardner shared at Convention this year. It's a bat box/cone created using the SU Petal Cone Die and SU Pennant Die from Stampin' Up! and the Big Shot. I searched for a tutorial and/or directions and could never find one, so I "winged" it ;) (Nice pun with the project being a bat - huh?) :)

Anyhow, I think it turned out pretty darn cute and you can easily stuff it with some little treats for a nice halloween treat container for your kiddos/grandkids or even a favorite teacher/coach.

Some tips/tricks:
*The wings went through the spider web embossing folder to give them some "veins".
*I used some glitter glue and just smushed it all over the bat with my finger to give it that glistening you see.
*I cut thin strips of that bright green paper and rolled them around in my hand to give them texture. You could also run them through a crimper.
*I added some black curling ribbon (instead of black c/s) to the green paper simply because I had it on hand. (I like the difference in texture that it gives the filler...the round curls vs. the crinkled shred.)
*Googly eyes attached with glue dots after the glitter dries.
*Free hand cut the teeth
*Circle punch for the mouth and to create the bottom of the wings.

This sample is for sale after 9/30 if interested, let me know.

Teen Boy Thank you notes



Had to make some "cool" Thank you notes for my son.
Came up with these 2 designs during the Redskins game.
He liked them, so that's what matters. Kept it simple with sponging on the sentiment and image to go with the background paper and "dull" the bright white cardstock. Sorry the mat layers are not straight/not even - I was having an "off" day.

Baby Boy/Birthday Cards - Hybrid Style part 2




Baby Boy/Birthday Cards - Hybrid Style






I have a vendor fair coming up in December at the local elementary school. I should really be concentrating on other stuff coming up BEFORE December, but for some reason I had the urge to work on some stuff for that. So today I knocked out 16 quickie "hybrid" cards. Simple designs using some of my favorite clip art that I accented with glitter/ribbon. You will probably see a lot of this from me in the coming months just changing the color schemes/art work.
