Halloween Tag by Tasha!

 Happy Friday Ai Friends!

Tasha here sharing a not-so-scary Halloween Tag featuring the super cute 5487 - Front Porch Halloween Set and 5132 - Tag Stitched Dies. I love making Fall and Halloween projects, but do not like scary things, so this stamp set is perfect for me.

 For the Tag, I started by stenciling a purple brick background before attaching the door image. After the background was done, I embossed the word "Boo" on to the door and attached a branch to each side of the Tag. I love the spooky branches!

To decorate, I stamped several images with black ink and used the includes dies to cut them out before coloring. I used green, orange, and purple shades for the coloring to stick with the Halloween theme and keep the card bright. Purple and green is one of my favorite color combinations!

Lastly, I embossed "Happy Haunting!" on to the bottom of the card and drew in little spider webs on the door image. I also added black, green, and orange thread to bring in more color and to use to tie the Tag on to a gift bag.

I hope you enjoyed today's project and are inspired to create a fun Halloween Tag this Fall!

Have a great day!

Winter's front door !! Brrrr

Hello Ai Fans !!
Winter is here , when I made this card we had snow and I thought many of you could relate to this front door scene I made. The kids go outside and play and all the stuff ends up right outside the front door , lol .This is was alot of fun making , I am loving these Ai doorways , today I am using the Door sku#3386 and the Ai Dec /Jan set sku # CS3371.

I stamped all the pieces and then colored and stickled them , then fussy cut them out , I popped the all up so they were not flat to the card , it's always good the add texture and dimension to your projects so the come to life.I ran the front layer thru the big shot using Tim Holtz brick embossing folder , I added flower soft Christmas mix to the wreath  , you always color it first , so if some places don't cover its okay  , I also added a red bow on top of the bow on the wreath , instead of the door at the bottom middle  , I set it back and to the side and then tore silver glitter paper to create the glistening snow , however you make you doorways they are sure to turn out so very cute and so easy to do , hope you give them a try.
Thank for stopping by and please leave me a commit , I would love to hear from you .
Have a Happy scrappin day !!!

Warm wishes.

Hello Ai friends and happy Monday to you.  Sending you warm wishes from our home to yours!   I wanted to do something different with the Door (SKU#CS3369), instead of being outside... this time, we are indoor!   And I also added a bunch of super cool elements from Ai doorway Dec/Jan DW (SKU#CS3371).  

I started out by stamping just the door and the other elements on the pattern paper, then colored them with copic markers.  I added a strip of 'woodgrain' paper (so, it looks like the floor), I paper pieced another door for a little bit of dimension and popped the boots and the plant. For the Christmas lights, I used stickles for the strings and the lights, I used the viva glass effect pen.  

I hope you like it and have a very happy Holidays!
