Scary Bird!

For my final installment of Halloween projects, is it a crow?  

A raven?  It's Scary Bird!  

This is a little banner project that rounded out 8 fun creations from my Boo University workshop this month.  It measures 6" x 9.5".  

I used Cricut Design Space to cut the scrolls on top of the scary bird.  You could, however, cut the scroll images out of Thistle cardstock and adhere them on top of the bird.

Close To My Heart products used:

Jeepers Creepers Paper Pack and Complements

Thistle, Black and Goldrush cardstock

CTMH Artbooking - Spiderweb, Spider, Crow/Raven

Silver Sequins (dark silver for the eye)

Retired CTMH Products: Purple and Dark Silver Glitter Paper 

Thistle Extra Thick Twine 

CTMH Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge - Banner, and Scroll shapes on the bird

EEK! Halloween Potion!

EEK, some spooky fun potion to dress up your Halloween decor!

This was one of eight creative projects made at my Boo University workshop this year and I love how it turned out!  

This creepy potion bottle started as one of several clear bottles from a friend of a friend of a friend.  I thought they could be worked into Boo U as eery potion decor and they worked perfectly.  

I mixed an eery concoction of green acrylic craft paint, water base varnish, and Prisma Glitter (oh, how I miss that sparkly product from Close To My Heart!)  I poured the paint potion into the bottle and swirled it around to coat the inside.  Next, I set it upside down on a paper towel for a few hours to drain out the excess paint, 

I mean potion!

The bottle decorations are a creepy combo of:

Border and Pumpkin Stickers from Jeepers Creepers Complements

Black and White Cardstock Tags

Lavender and Leaf Green ShinHan Touch Twin Markers

Stamped Pickled Toad image from Magic Potions (retired CTMH set)

Clear Sparkles and Black Twine

BOO!

I made my first Triple Panel Card for one of the 8 projects made at my Boo University workshop recently. What a FUN fancy fold card, and so easy too!

Cut paper 5 1/2" x 8 1/2".  Horizontally, score at 2", 3 1/8", 5 3/8", and 6 1/2".

The first fold is valley, then mountain, mountain, and finish with valley.  I used my bone folder to get nice crisp folds.

It's decorated with the cute Jeepers Creepers patterned papers.  I cut two side panels 1 3/4" x 5 1/4", and middle panel is 2 x 5 1/4".  The sticker accents are from the  Complements and are festive, fun and fast!

HALLOWEEN!

Last year during the month of October, I posted a Halloween post every day for 31 days.  It nearly did me in!  This time, I'll be posting several fun Halloween cards and projects from now until Halloween.  Wish me luck!  It's only 7 days.  

I think I can, I think I can!

This was a super quick and super fun card to make!  The Jeepers Creepers Complements contain darling stickers and black glitter paper cut outs including words: Halloween, Scary, Trick or Treat.  I simply cut some coordinating cardstock rectangles to add the black glittery letters onto.  I added checker borders to the sides of the white card base with the Jeepers Creepers Washi tape.  

Fun, easy and CUTE!

The eyes are from the Jeepers Creepers Assortment.  Love them!

How cute are these Jeepers Creepers Complements?
