Halloween Mini Album

Hello!  Susie on the blog today with a Halloween themed mini album.

We love to celebrate Halloween at our house and have had lots of fun over the years with all of the associated activities:  pumpkin carving, apple bobbing, costumes, candies and parties! I  created a little mini album to hold some of my favorite pictures and I found the perfect stamps from Blank Page Muse to add a little creepy touch!

DIY Halloween Wine Glass Charms

Hello!  Susie on the blog today and I am pulling out the shrink plastic again!

Time to create some DIY Wine Glass Charms!  This is a fast and easy project and if you are like me you will probably spend more time choosing which stamps and beads to use than actually crafting!

Time to play...

Supplies:
Halloween Takes Flight Rubber Stamp Set
Halloween Bingo Rubber Stamp Set
Shrink Plastic (I used Shrinky Dink brand)
Walnut Hollow Colored Pencils
Archival Ink - Black
Colored pencils
Hoop earrings
Split rings
Beads
Heat Gun
Scissors
Crop A Dile
Pliers
Stamping platform
Craft mat

Directions 
Select desired Halloween themed stamps and position them in a stamping platform.
Stamp the images onto shrink plastic with Archival black ink.
When the ink is dry trim out the shapes and punch holes as desired.

Color images on the reverse side of the shrink plastic with colored pencils (or whatever is recommended by your shrink plastic).
Shrink using  a heat gun on a craft mat.

Thread split ring onto each charm and add to hoop earrings with beads.

Option:  Create charms without adding any color.

The holiday party season is just getting started and these would make really cute hostess gifts.  I am already planning some for Thanksgiving and Christmas!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you find some time to play today!

Halloween Party Invitation

Happy Halloween!  This is Karen with a really easy Halloween party invitation you can make with Sin City Stamps!


This invitation features the Pumpkin Hot Air Balloon stamp from the Halloween Takes Flight stamp set from Sin City Stamps.

Halloween Fabric Cuff

I made this fabric cuff with an image from the Halloween Takes Flight set from Sin City Stamps.

Here’s how I made it.

I stamped the image with ColorBox Chalk Ink in Blackbird onto a piece of tightly woven cotton and heat set it with an iron.

I ripped a strip of printed canvas for the cuff base and chose another cotton print to add to the piece.


I sewed the complementary pieces to the stamped piece, then turned and pressed the top and bottom edges of that section.
