No Tricks, Just Treats by Jil Lebel

Hello Ai fans!

After the Halloween Clear stamps release, I could hardly wait to make more Halloween cards.  I figured I'd wait until October to make more.  It's obviously October because I've made a card with the Halloween Magic Set.  I hope you love this cute image as much as I do.

The image was stamped onto Spectrum Noir Ultra Smooth paper with My Favorite Things Extreme Black ink and Colored with Copic Markers and Prismacolor pencils.  The colors are listed at the end of this post. The image and black and orange glitter paper were cut with the Oval Double Stitched Rectangles. They were layered with foam tape.  A bow was made with ribbon and the Mini Bow-Easy Tool. A Tim Holtz Halloween Charm was added to the bow with a piece of purple hem cord.  The greeting was cut with a stitched die and added with foam tape. 

Copic Colors Used:
Face - E000, E00, E11, R20
Hair - Y02, Y21, E13
Dress/ Hat - V12, V15, V17
Hat Band - YG01, YG03, YG05
Cat - Y23, Y26, YR 24
Ground - W1, W3

Thanks for stopping by and Have a Great Day!

Halloween! It's all over the WEB! by Reneé Matarese

Hello Ai fans!!

Today I'm sharing a Halloween card with you.  I made this using a new set from Art Impressions called 5038 – Ghoul Friend Set.

I cut a circle in the front and added a spider web.  Then I framed it using the new

5064 – Circle Double Stitched Dies

I used a verse from the set on the inside.

Hello Ai fans!

Today it's my turn to be featured on the Art Impressions Blog.  The new challenge starts today and couldn't be more fun!  TREAT BAGS!!

I'm featuring the Grateful Hearts Set.

Well...when it's a challenge this fun I couldn't stop at just one bag!

I made a card and 3 different treat bags.

My card is a Dutch fold. (think Dutch doors)

Here's the inside of the card.

This is what it looks like all folded up.

My first little treat bag is a "bag in a box" that I made with my Envelope Punch Board from We R Memory Keepers.  Who knew?  Apparently there are so many different things you can do with your envelope maker than just make envelopes!

THIS is the tutorial I followed. 

Believe me, it couldn't have been simpler!

How cute is this??  Bonus...as I was folding it up my mind was racing with other combinations of ways to fold and glue this for different shapes and sizes.

My next treat bag is really a box.

I used my Sizzix Harvest Bucket die and glued it to the front of an open box.

My last treat bag is a clear bag that I made a topper for.

I used all but three stamps from this set on my projects so you can see you get quite a lot of beautiful Thanksgiving images and verses with the set.

Thanks, Renee! Those treat bags are too cute! All of your different techniques and formats are really inspiring!

Hoping for a treat? Join our challenge! No tricks! We always love seeing what our fans create with our stamps, so join in the fun for the chance to win! This challenge theme is "Treat Bags" which is great for Halloween or other kinds of party favors!

Old Bat wine tag by Diane Zechman

Hello Ai friends and happy Monday!
 

Today I am sharing a project using one of my favorite Ai sets- 4784- Old Bat Set.  If you like cute Halloween images, this set is a must-have!  Here I used it to make a decorative gift tag on a bottle of wine for a friend.  (Did you also see Renee's tag and wine cork pumpkin that she posted earlier?)

 

I am planning to surprise my friend who loves Halloween with this...she is always doing things for others so I think a little RAK is in order. :)

 

I started with a 2 1/4 x 7 3/4 piece of cardstock and scored it @ 2 1/4. The top corners were punched with a corner rounder after punching a 1 3/8" hole in the center.  I colored her with Copics and popped her & the sentiment on foam dimensionals. I saved the circle that was punched from the top and used it to "spotlight" the glass in her hand.

I haven't tried the wine yet, but I've heard it was good. At least it has a cute label!  lol.

Have a great Monday and… happy stamping!
