Stampendous/Dreamweaver Thursday - Haunt it!

10/8/2015

6 Comments

 
Halloween Hauntings is my Dreamweaver Thursday card today!  I've used two stencils and created a shaker window.  The creepy spider is actually pasted onto acetate with glossy black paste and black crushed glass glitter was sprinkled onto the wet paste.  It looks like a tarantula, doesn't it???

Dreamweaver stash drawer to the rescue for my spider background paper!  The spider web stencil was pasted with Metallic Silver paste and set aside to dry.

I cut a piece of acetate 4-1/4 x 5-1/2 and pasted the spider in position near the center of the web.  While wet, I sprinkled black crushed glass glitter into the paste and set it aside to dry.  This was exactly the textural look I was going for in creating a creepy spider.

To create the shaker window, the layers from top to bottom were as follows:  The black frame, acetate, craft foam cut in a frame to match the size of the black frame, fragments and finally, the spider web panel.

Meanwhile, I created a Core'dinations frame with Spellbinder Celebra'tions rectangles and distressed the inside edge with a distressing tool.  The reverse side of the paper was used for the sentiment that was stamped in Versamark ink and detail black embossing powder.  I have some really cool quilling tools and used the smallest one to create the scrolled ends.  I created a little bendy curve to the sentiment when affixed to each side of the frame with foam mounting squares.  The bat was stamped with Versamark ink and detail black embossing powder and then fussy cut and mounted above the center of the sentiment strip.  Creepy eyes were created with a Uniball white pen.

Stampendous/Dreamweaver Thursday - Pumpkin Pie

10/1/2015

16 Comments

 
​I absolutely love this time of year here in Upstate New York!  I live in the country and, though the terrain is pretty flat, I love watching the trees change colors, the crisp night air, getting out my fleece, and maybe even turning the fireplace on!  It's really all about the colors, the mums and the pumpkins!

​Here's today's pumpkin card:

​My card was first inspired by Fran Seiford's coffee spritz video.  I was so enamored by this simple recipe, I brought it to my Paper Arts Club this past Wednesday and everyone loved it, especially the lovely aroma of coffee as they spritzed their papers.  Mind you, I have done the entire vintage/aging paper thing with walnut crystals and baking the paper.  Honestly, Fran's method is absolutely better and takes no time at all!!!!

Once the coffee spritz was completely dry on Stampendous Mixed Media White Paper, I pasted it with the Dreamweaver LL515 Pumpkins in Metallic Gold.  After removing the tape and stencil, I sprinkled Dreamweaver FX mica powders randomly over the pasted image.  Using a Milwaukee heat tool, I heated the surface of the pasted image until it bubbled and then quickly moved to another area of the image.  This technique is called Molten Magic and it is quite magical.  I allowed it to cool and then used a Swiffer cloth to wipe away any stray mica powders.

Layering the card elements came next.  I went into my Dreamweaver stash drawer and found the perfect fall background paper to layer behind the pumpkins.  TIP:  Creating seasonal backgrounds in quantity comes in handy at times like this!  The next two layers of card stock (A Muse) coordinated beautifully with the pumpkins.  I did happen to have a Spellbinders Celebra'tions Pierced Rectangles die templates by Richard Garay that worked great for my two stitched layers and my two diecut layers.  Ribbon (May Arts) was added around one of the layers 'cuz I just love what ribbon can do to a card!!

All that was left was to add a sentiment!  I didn't want to interfere with the pumpkins, so a small punched tag (McGill) and sentiment seemed to work in the upper right corner.  I partially stenciled the Dreamweaver Four Seasons Stencil word FALL with Stampendous/Dreamweaver Copper Metallic Paste and a Palette Knife onto my stash background paper. 

Hope you enjoyed my card today!  I'd love your comment before hopping to the next designer's blog.  Thanks for stopping by!  I wanna go bake an apple pie now!
