Hello and welcome to my blog and the October OSAT Blog Hop. This month we have a Spooktacular hop for you. I have created a super fun card and a cute fun Halloween filled dimensional project for you. Here's a look at my projects for this month's hop.
Crystal Ball Card:
For my card this month I wanted to create a Halloween card but with a little twist. And the Snow Globes Shaker Domes and the Snow Globe Dies allowed me to do just that. I wanted to create a crystal ball on my card and with both those items (by the way they are not just for Christmas) allowed me to create the perfect card that fit the bill. I started out my card by cutting the snow globe shape from my card front. Which was a piece of the Monster Bash designer series paper on a piece of Mango Melody cardstock. Once I had it cut out I wanted to add a little darkness around the edges. So I masked off my mat on my card front and used a sponge and sponged on so Tuxedo Black ink. I did this just around the edge of the card so it looked like it was sitting back.
Coffin Shadow Box:
For my dimensional project this month I knew I wanted to do something with the Coffin Treat boxes but I didn't want to just make a treat box and call it done. So I had been thinking about how to make them into a shadow box for the last few months. So, I sat down and spent an afternoon in the craft room to figure out how I could do just that. And this is what I came up with.
From the outside I know it looks just like a treat box, but when you open it up, it's a completely different story. I added some shelves to the inside with some basic black cardstock and liquid glue. I then added my additional shadow box elements with images from the Spooktacular Bash stamp set and some some of the designer series paper and other elements form the suite. I stamped and colored the little vampire portrait and cut it out then I added little stands to the back and glued everything in place. I repeated that process with the jars after cutting each one apart. I added the sign on the inside of the coffin lid with some of the black dimensionals. I also dressed it up and added googly eyes to the o's. I thought that added a super cute touch.
To finish it off I added the designer series paper to the front and some of the black scalloped edge ribbon to secure it closed. Well, that's my projects for this month I hope that you have enjoyed them. If you are viewing this post on my wordpress site you will have to click here to see the blog roll.
