Don't you just love all the new stamp sets this month!!  I have really enjoyed playing with them and I love the Halloween stamp set it is to cute.  So that is the why  I choose the Halloween Cat set to use for the reveal. My card is a circle spinner card using the cute bat to fly around the card!  Here is a tutorial on how to make this design.


The DP was die cut using Spellbinder's Circle Die.  The image is the digi version and it was re sized and printed out.  Using a glue pen sparkle was added using Black Ice and Orange Surprise glitter, it was then die cut using the next smaller circle die. A strip of 1/4" Tear-ific Tape was placed around the card base and glittered using Sassy Silver glitter.



The green slime was created using dimensional glue on a piece of the left over backing from the 2 1/2" Tear-ific Tape.


Next while the glue was wet I covered it with Parisian Mist glitter.


To remove the excess glitter I turned it upside down.  It was then allowed to dry overnight.  Once the glue was dry it comes off of the backing paper very easily.  It was then placed on the top of the card.



I didn't really like the look of the penny, so I placed a piece of 2 1/2" Tear-ific Tape on a piece of cardstock , punch a 1" circle out, glittered using Sassy Silver glitter and glued it on top of the penny.  The bats were cut using my Silhouette.  The larger bat was glued on top of the penny.   I wish you could see how cute the little bat is flying around the spooky cat!!  

Here is a quick peak at projects to come using the new stamp sets.  I hope you will stop back by to see the full projects!!

Friends Warm the Heart


Good morning everyone I hope you had a wonderful weekend!!  I am sharing a shadowbox with you today using the new Eskimo Kisses stamp set from Sparkle N Sprinkle.  I cut the shadowbox along with the trees and snow banks using my Silhouette.  For the blue background I wanted to add some snow, using Super Thick White EP lightly sprinkled and heating from the underneath I wish able to achieve the look.  Small snowflakes were punched using Fisker punch and sticker paper.  The backing was removed and Sparkling Snow was applied.  Small drops of Caribbean Ocean Crystal Drops were placed in the center.




Next it was time to create my scene.  The image was stamped, colored using Tombow Markers and fussy cut out.  Sparkle was added to the sweet little girl and snowman using a dimensional glue along with Swan Wing, Waterfall and Sparkling Snow glitter.  



I used brushable glue with a small brush on the edges of the trees and glittered using Sparkling Snow glitter.  






The snow banks were glittered using brushable glue and Diamond Dust glitter.  I then lightly brushed brushable glue back along the edges only and added Waterfall glitter.


The sentiment was stamped with Memento Bahama Blue ink.  The piece were all assembled inside the box. 

I really love how pretty this turned out!!  Thanks so much for stopping by have a wonderful day and remember.....Keep Stamping!!
