Ready for ghosts, goblins, and littles in their homemade costumes? Always feel for the parents heading out on what is often a cold night - sometimes with snow! - in Ontario. They'll need a warm beverage to keep them going trick or treating around the neighbourhood. Maybe a hot toddy, pumpkin spiced something or java stand by. Either way, this card reminds me of having a warm drink on hand for Hallowe'en jaunts. Happy Hallowe-en!
Are you like me and wonder, how did they make those angled cuts? Watched a video and had a big aha moment! You start with 3 sheets of patterned paper measuring 3 3/4" x 5" each. Stack them and cut 3 angled pieces. From top left, 3/4" in to about 1" up from the bottom right (made that triangle on the right of each card), the the remaining pice I cut from about 1" in on the right towards the middle. Then I made 3 cards but swapping out the pieces! Love how these turned out!
Made for a friend who needs a lift...sometime life is hard and there are challenges to overcome. And sometimes there's not much you can do but listen...in those times I like to send a card to let my friends know they're in my thoughts. This was a simple design using Blackberry Bliss and Old Olive with white. Any floral image and greeting will do. Make and send a card today.
Something else I made with the Humble Home Bundle. As soon as I saw the little house punch I knew a decorative art project was the way to go. I toyed with a bunch of layouts - circles, square, higgly-piggly - and settled on this layout. What do you think? I can tell you the folks at the Elmira District Community Living day program LOVED it! So easy to put together with your favourite alphabet dies (I used Alphabet A La Mode for the slim letters) in in Coastal Cabana with black and red. It's all laid down on a piece of Real Read measuring 8 1/2" x 11" then onto a piece of canvas from the Dollar Store that's 9" x 12".
My Avid Stampers class is this week and here's one of the projects we're making using the Humble Home bundle! It features 3 of the ways you can use your stamps and punch together for unique looking houses all on one card! The hearts are a darling addition.
