Today's project is doing double duty--both as a 31 Days of Halloween post, and my answer to the "Wrapped up in Costumes" theme for Stampendous. I used it for the theme because it reminded me of an adorable witch costume. </div>

INSTRUCTIONS:<br />
<br />
1) The card base is 8 1/2" by 5 1/2" folded on the side.<br />
2) Tape the stencil onto black card stock, using a full strip of tape across the top which will be used as a hinge later. Be sure to tape all the way around.<br />
3) Remove paste from the container with the palette knife and place on the bottom of the paste spreader.<br />
4) Place the paste spreader on the top of the stencil, with the paste facing you.<br />
5) Pull the spreader towards you, keeping contact with the stencil and filling in the wells with the embossing paste.<br />
6) Replace the excess paste into the container.<br />
7) Carefully remove the tape from the sides and bottom of the stencil.<br />
8) Using the top piece of tape as a hinge, carefully remove the stencil and let the paste dry.<br />
9) When the paste is dry, use the Versamarker Pen to color in one section that you want embossed.<br />
10) Cover with the embossing powder, flick off the excess, and heat emboss.<br />
11) Repeat steps 9-10 until you have colored all the sections that you want embossed.<br />
12) Place glue in one section at a time and cover with glitter until the while image is finished.<br />
13) Trim the mats.<br />
14) Add ribbon.<br />
15) Assemble the card.<br />

Once again, I am taking part in the 31 Days of Halloween Event. I just love October! This event celebrates Halloween the entire month. Here is my cameo witch card. It is one of my favorites from this catalog. I find the cameo witch stencil a particularly brilliant design move by Stampendous.<br />

I was able to achieve the granite look with a technique that I developed for this catalog. The embossing was actually quite easy, and the coloring with pencils can be as simple or complicated as you like. Here is how it was done:</div>
<br />
MATERIALS<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.stampendous.com/shop/stencils/frans-metal-stencils/framed-witch-metal-stencil/">Framed Witch Stencil FMS4036</a><br />
<a href="http://www.stampendous.com/shop/mixed-media/mixed-media-white-paper/">Mixed Media White Paper</a><br />
Versafine in Smokey Gray<br />
Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist in Boardwalk<br />
Prismacolor Pencils in Black, Grass Green, Apple Green, Olive Green, Dark Green, Imperial Violet, Periwinkle, Steel, Cool Grey in 10%, 20%, 30%, 50%, 70% and 90%<br />
My Colors Card Stock in Black Magic and Grapevine<br />
Zip Dry Glue<br />
Manual Die Cut Machine<br />
Rubber Embossing Mat<br />
<br />
INSTRUCTIONS:<br />
<br />
1) The card base is 8 1/2" by 5 1/2" folded on the side.<br />
2) Tap the Versafine all over the back of the stencil.<br />
3) Spray the back of the stencil with the Glimmer Mist.<br />
4) While the stencil is still wet, place it face down on the bed of the die cut machine. Cover it with the mixed media paper, the embossing mat and the cutting mat.<br />
5) Run the stencil through the die cut machine. Let dry.<br />
6) Color the image with the Prismacolors. Enhance the embossing by creating extra highlights and shadows with the pencil colors.<br />
7) Assemble the card with Zip Dry.<br />
<br />
I hope you like this technique. It creates not only a granite look, but also a cool aged look with different colors.<br />

Well, I don't know what it is like where you live, but here in Michigan, there really is beginning to be a "Chill in the Air", which is this week's Stampendous theme. I have created a stamped card with a haunted house image straight out of my childhood Halloween fantasies. It was created using the ultimate childhood art supply--a 24 pack of Crayola Crayons.</div>

INSTRUCTIONS:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The card base is 5 1/2" by 8 1/2" folded in half for a 5 1/2" by 4 1/4" card.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1) Tape the stencil, right side up, over the cork paper. Be sure to use a single large piece all the way across the top to use as a hinge when removing the stencil. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2) Remove some paste from the container with the palette knife and place on the bottom front of the paste spreader.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3) Place the bottom of the spreader on the top of the stencil, with the paste facing you.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
4) Pull the paste covered spreader down over the stencil, maintaining contact with the stencil and filling in the wells with the paste as you go.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
5) Place the excess paste back in the container.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
6) Carefully remove the tape from the sides and bottom of the stencil.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
7) Using the top tape as a hinge, carefully remove the stencil and let the paste dry.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
8) When the paste is completely dry, use the Spectrum Markers to color directly on the white paste.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
9) Use the Fabri-Tac to adhere the burlap to the patterned paper and the purple card stock to the burlap and let dry.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
10) Use the Zip Dry to adhere the cork paper to the card stock.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
11) Use the Big Bite to punch holes for the brads through all the layers.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
12) Place brads into the holes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
13) Wrap and tie twine around the bottom.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
14) Use Zip Dry to adhere the card to the background and the card base. </div>

So now that you know about the prizes, let me share a card--and a new technique--with you. While I was trying to spray the back of a stencil to add some color, I became frustrated with the coverage of the color. That is when I came up with a new technique! Read about it in steps 8-11.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Big Bite Tool</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
INSTRUCTIONS:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1) Place the wood stamp on the clear acrylic stamp handle.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2) Stamp on the brown card stock with the Momento Ink.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3) Place the sentiment on the stamp handle.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
4) Stamp on green card stock with Versamark Ink.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
5) Cover with the Champagne Pearlustre Embossing Powder.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
6) Emboss with the Heat Tool</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
7) Cut to fit inside the metal piece.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
8) Ink the back of the pumpkin stencil with the Versafine.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
9) Spray over the Versafine on the back of the stencil with the Tattered Angels.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
10) Place the stencil face down on the bed of the manual die cut machine and cover with the mixed media paper and then the rubber embossing mat and the top mat.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
11) Run the project through the machine. This technique will give you a mottled background and an embossed image. Let it dry a little.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
12) Color the embossed image using the Prismacolors. I used the Sepia pencil to color some shadows under the pumpkins.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
13) Adhere the pumpkin and wood stamped elements to a 4 1/4" by 5 1/2" piece of green card stock.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
14) Use the Big Bite to create holes for the brads on your card. I (somewhat awkwardly) held the metal piece in place as I used the holes as a guide.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
15) Glue the sentiment into the metal bracket. (You can see the excess glue in this photo, but I promise it is not this evident in real life). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
16) Use the brads to adhere the bracket to the card.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
17) Glue one piece of ribbon over the seam (leaving a small section in the center free of adhesive) and around the back of the green card stock.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
18) Slip a piece of the ribbon under the middle section and make a bow. When you have it right, you can glue the edges down a little to prevent slipping.</div>

Twine<br />
Stazon in Spiced Chai<br />
Embossing Heat Gun<br />
Manual Die Cut Machine<br />
Rubber Embossing Mat<br />
Big Bite, Crop O Dile or Hole Punch<br />
Awl<br />

My Colors Card Stock in Goldenrod, Parrot and White<br />
Fabric Tac or another fabric glue<br />
Adhesive--I used Zip Dry<br />
Burlap<br />
<br />
DIRECTIONS:<br />
1) Ink the back of stencil DWLG616 with Versamark.<br />
2) Set the stencil face down on the bed of your machine. Cover with the parrot card stock, rubber mat, and top mat.<br />
3) Run the project through the die cut machine.<br />
4) Remove the card stock and cover with clear embossing powder. Tap off the excess.<br />
5) Heat with the embossing tool.<br />
6) Tape stencil DWLL429 onto the burlap with the removeable tape. Be sure to tape all the way around the stencil.<br />
7) Remove the embossing paste with the palette knife and place a strip across the top of the stencil.<br />
8) Place the back of the palette knife above the paste, making contact with the stencil.<br />
9) Pull the knife down the stencil, depositing paste in the wells. You need to keep contact between the palette knife and the stencil all the way down.<br />
10) Place the remaining paste back into the container.<br />
11) Carefully remove the stencil from the burlap and allow the paste to dry completely.<br />
12) While the paste dries, place the selected stamp on the acrylic block, ink up with the Stazon, and stamp on the metal. Let it dry completely.<br />

<br /></div>
13) After the paste is completely dry, you will "paint" it with the embossing powders. You will do this by coloring a small portion of paste with the Versamark Pen, covering it with the embossing powder, and heating it with the heat gun.<br />
14) Glue the completed burlap to the goldenrod card stock.<br />
15) Use the awl to create guide holes around the burlap.<br />
16) Stitch around the burlap with the tapestry needle and the twine.<br />
17) Cut the background image in half and mount it onto both sides of a piece of white 4 1/4" by 5 1/2" card stock.<br />
18) Adhere the center of the card.<br />
19) Use your Big Bite or hole punch to create holes on either side of a leaf.<br />
20) Run the crepe ribbon into the hole on one side and out through the hole on the other. Adhere the ends just under the card stock.<br />
21) Attach the card to a white card stock back that is 8 1/2" by 5 1/4" folded in half.<br />
22) Tie the metal tag onto the crepe ribbon using a hemp bow.<br />

My Colors Card Stock in Goldenrod, Parrot, Brown Eyes, Sky, Mandaring and Harvest Orange<br />
Manual Die Cut Machine<br />
Versafine in Toffee<br />
Removable Tape<br />
Burlap<br />
Fabri-Tac Glue<br />
Awl<br />
Tapestry Needle<br />
Hemp Ribbon<br />
Adhesive--I used Zip Dry<br />
<br />
DIRECTIONS:<br />
<br />
1) Use the leaf die from the Build a Wreath set to cut out leaves.<br />
2) Stamp words on the leaves and distress the edges with the Versafine.<br />
3) Tape the stencil over the blue card stock. Be sure to tape one piece across the top of the stencil that you will use as a himge when you remove it. Tape all the way around the stencil.<br />
4) Use the palette knite to remove the paste from the container and place it on the bottom of one side of the paste spreader.<br />
5) Place the spreader on the top edge of the stencil. Be sure the paste side is facing you.<br />
6) Pull the spreader towards you, treating it like a squeegee. The spreader should maintain contact with the stencil at all times and will deposit the paste into the wells.<br />
7) Remove the excess paste with the palette knife and replace it into the container.<br />
8) Remove the tape from the stencil everywhere except for the top. <br />
9) Gently lift the stencil, using the tape as a hinge. Then, remove the stencil entirely.<br />
10) Sprinkle the top of the paste with the various embossing powders while it is still wet. The let it mostly dry.<br />
11) When the paste is mostly dry (about a half an hour or so), use the heat gun to heat it from underneath first, and then on the top. The paste and powders will bubble.<br />
12) When the project is completely dry, adhere it to the mat.<br />
13) Use the fabric glue to adhere the burlap to the background paper and the mat to the burlap.<br />
14) Use the awl to punch guide holes into the mat and through the burlap and background paper.<br />
15) Use the needle and hemp to sew the project.<br />
16) Adhere the project to the card base.<br />
17) Adhere the leaves to the card.<br />
<br />

<br />
Welcome to the Stampendous and Tando Creative Mixed Media Blog Hop. This collaboration is really taking me out of my proverbial "box" with the chance to try something really different. Today, I am using the <a href="http://www.tando-creative.co.uk/catalog/triple-arch-layered-frame-p-463.html">Triple Arch Layered Frame</a> by Tando Creative. Who is Tando Creative? They are a UK based company that sells various interesting chipboard products, Andy Skinner stamps, Nathalie Kalbach stamps and Stampendous Essential Kits. But, I get way ahead of myself. What everyone REALLY wants to know is, "Are there prizes?" Why, yes there are!<br />
<br />

Now that we know what the prizes are, it is back to my post. <span style="line-height: 30.6px;">My project today is Halloween themed, and was wickedly fun to make. Here it is:</span></div>

All the coloring was done with the humble 24 pack of Crayola Crayons. The distressing was done with Deco Art Media Fluid Acrylics in Carbon Black. The picture on the right shows a little more detail on the Haunted Mansion stamped image. It was colored first with crayons and then wrinkled and painted over with the black paint. I removed the paint with a damp cloth.</div>

The owl was pasted on brown paper. When the paste was COMPLETELY dry, I colored over it. Yes, with crayons, believe it or not. I did a couple of layers just to be sure it was thick. Then, I painted over it with the black paint and wiped of the excess with a damp cloth.<br />

Then, they were colored with crayons, and distressed in the same manner as the other two parts. All the rest of the project was fancy cutting and gluing on various layers of the frame to create depth.<br />

We are featuring projects from this July catalog, which includes holiday items. I guess that means I am doing "Christmas in July". During the hottest days so far here in Michigan, I am featuring snowflakes. Here you go:<br />

<a href="http://www.stampendous.com/products-page/dreamweaver-stencil-paste-spreader/">Paste Spreader DWLM2010</a><br />
Stampendous Crystal Glitter<br />
Versafine Ink in Majestic<br />
Manual Die Cut Machine (I used a Cuttlebug)<br />
My Colors Card Stock in Winter Lake, Oceanside and Smooth White<br />
Removable Tape<br />
Zip Dry<br />
3D Foam Squares<br />
<br />
<br />
INSTRUCTIONS:<br />
1) Tape the stencil down on the back (smooth side) of the card stock with the removable tape. Be sure to tape all the way around the stencil. The first piece of tape should go all the way across the top. It will act as a hinge.<br />
2) Use the palette knife to remove paste from the jar and place across the bottom of one side of the paste spreader.<br />
3) Place the paste spreader on the top of the stencil, paste side towards you.<br />
4) Pull the paste spreader towards you, maintaining contact with the stencil at all times. It will act as a squeegee, despositing paste in the wells of the stencil. <br />
5) Remove the excess paste from the spreader using the palette knife and replace into the paste container.<br />
6) Remove the tape from the three sides of the stencil, leaving the first piece attached.<br />
7) Using the remaining piece of tape as a hinge, gently lift the stencil from the cardstock and then remove completely.<br />
8) Sprinkle the wet paste with the glitter and let dry completely.<br />
9) Stamp the sentiment on white card stock.<br />
10) Use the frames and the die cut machine to cut the image and its mat. To get the placement just right, you can use a small piece of the removeable tape across the frame and card stock before you put it into the die cut machine.<br />
11) When the paste is dry, brush off the excess glitter and add rhinestones.<br />
12) Assemble the image, using Zip Dry or whatever adhesive you prefer. You can use the 3D Foam Squares to pop up the sentiment.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This week's Stampendous Theme is Fran's Metal Stencils. I have to tell you that when I first saw the silverware stencil, I immediately thought of my trip to the Be Our Guest restaurant at Walt Disney World. In fact, this card was inspired by that restaurant. I am planning on using both of these stencils on a scrap book page of that experience one day. I will make several pastings of the silverware and have them "dance" up a border. Meanwhile, I will probably use the Fleur De Lis Stencil around all the edges. I guess I will have to wait and see.....But, I digress. This is the card I made for today:</div>

I am trying a couple of different things this week. First, I am trying the traffic on Friday instead of my usual Thursday. There are no stencils on this card, so no need to participate on Dreamweaver Thursday. Secondly, I am making probably my EASIEST card ever! After all, these stamps that include the sentiment are super simple to use. Here it is:<br />

Have you ever colored in one of those very trendy adult coloring books? Well, this is the same thing, only better! Why? Because when you are done with your relaxing therapy, you can give this away, and save yourself a little money on a birthday card. This is how it was done:<br />
<br />
MATERIALS:<br />
<a href="http://www.stampendous.com/products-page/birthday-balloon-rubber-stamp/">Birthday Balloons Rubber Stamp RS-R259</a><br />
<a href="http://www.stampendous.com/products-page/mixed-media-white-paper/">White Mixed Media Paper</a><br />
Momento Tuxedo Black Ink<br />
Prisamcolor Pencils in Grass Green, Poppy Red, Orange, Ultramarine and Violet<br />
May Arts Ribbon<br />
Black Card Stock<br />
White Card Stock<br />
Red Cork Paper (Optional, I just added a little texture)<br />
Adhesive<br />
<br />
1) Stamp the image on the mixed media paper.<br />
2) Have a fun, relaxing time coloring your image.<br />
3) Tie ribbon around the bottom.<br />
4) Assemble the card. This card has a standard 4 1/4" by 5 1/2" front.<br />
<br />
See how easy? Give it a try with stamps that have a built in sentiment!<br />
<br />
Here are the rest of the players for today, check out the fun:<br />

Today, I have another post for the Whisker Graphics Blog Hop. I went a little crazy again this time, but making bags is so much fun.....<br />

So, here is my post for the day:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhff4GJ8A7eOSLos5SvSOMUcsgbIYFfSxt6MXDjh7bXCSyuhX8D9NJMzZsYXJtMXkLKECFI0MavaD19xe_DVxpf5nf8D1ApIve3-e0no56cVqeCuby9i60iivY58Qqu6P3Wvy4uBJh-4tfn/s1600/ewe.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhff4GJ8A7eOSLos5SvSOMUcsgbIYFfSxt6MXDjh7bXCSyuhX8D9NJMzZsYXJtMXkLKECFI0MavaD19xe_DVxpf5nf8D1ApIve3-e0no56cVqeCuby9i60iivY58Qqu6P3Wvy4uBJh-4tfn/s400/ewe.jpg" width="306" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
I simply used the<a href="http://www.stampendous.com/products-page/dreamweaver-stencil-open-sheep-die-set/"> Sheep Die Cut</a> in my manual die cut machine, right on the bag. I traced the cut out with a black marker. Then, I filled a zip top baggie with mints and slipped it inside. I glued down the fine , loose pieces. Finally, I folded over the top of the bag and wrapped it with twine.<br />
<br />
Here are a couple of extra bag inspirations for you:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6fDt06zoJv5MaPtVnc8w0FBQyIl7-AZ7bXL-RheOzIc44V9B8aIa8oaj4mvU7yK99J08ILP2XA3Er95iImtUjGKsptKHCO4Q4qieuwlEr9repNbVYpR4f34CmFSq2_ms_pOBbVWI_ZdEH/s1600/holly.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6fDt06zoJv5MaPtVnc8w0FBQyIl7-AZ7bXL-RheOzIc44V9B8aIa8oaj4mvU7yK99J08ILP2XA3Er95iImtUjGKsptKHCO4Q4qieuwlEr9repNbVYpR4f34CmFSq2_ms_pOBbVWI_ZdEH/s320/holly.jpg" width="194" /></a></div>
This bad was created in almost the same way as the previous one. I cut out the bag with the <a href="http://www.stampendous.com/products-page/dreamweaver-stencil-holly-swirl-die-set/">Holly Die Cut</a>. Then, I lined the first bag with a small white bag. I had to cut the white bag just a hair to get it inside. Then, I glued down the smaller pieces.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiixDw9MaasLS1TKRsXI6Hig-vmaioJvbh4geVIE6urIAsU95euhI6GPNtY23opgNJwTARj4OIM85KgsxEB9rEGeU3KAZvd_NHECxmtan1mFSnQUqGGlzS1-Cl9y3LYNJepgmpYZ_4U1alx/s1600/summery.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiixDw9MaasLS1TKRsXI6Hig-vmaioJvbh4geVIE6urIAsU95euhI6GPNtY23opgNJwTARj4OIM85KgsxEB9rEGeU3KAZvd_NHECxmtan1mFSnQUqGGlzS1-Cl9y3LYNJepgmpYZ_4U1alx/s320/summery.jpg" width="302" /></a></div>
Finally, I have a couple of "seaside" bags. The coral and all the shells were stamped using the <a href="http://www.stampendous.com/products-page/seashells-stamp-set/">Seashells Cling Rubber Stamp Set</a>. Then, the coral was cut with the <a href="http://www.stampendous.com/products-page/seashells-die-set/">Seashells Die Set</a>. The <a href="http://www.stampendous.com/products-page/dreamweaver-stencil-sea-turtle/">Sea Turtle Stencil</a> was pasted. The <a href="http://www.stampendous.com/products-page/dreamweaver-stencil-starfish/">Starfish Stencil</a> was embossed by using the Versamark ink over the stencil and heat embossing with the ivory opaque embossing powder .<br />

I decided to do things simply today. In honor of "Teacher Appreciation Week", I chose the Whisker Graphics bags with the loose leaf pattern on them. Then, I traced the <a href="http://www.stampendous.com/products-page/dreamweaver-stencil-owl-buddy/">Owl Buddy</a>, <a href="http://www.stampendous.com/products-page/dreamweaver-stencil-chunky-art-tools/">Large Chunky Art Tools </a>and the <a href="http://www.stencilwithstyle.com/stenpurchase/LL%20Stencils/pages/page_154.html">Large Apple Stencils</a> onto these bags with a Micron Pen. I colored them with Spectrum Markers. I created the tassel on the second card byt wrapping twine around an acrylic stamp holder and tying it off.

You can see that the small bag is the PERFECT size for a gift card! It actually goes all the way in, but I wanted you to see a little for comparison. Easy peasy!</div>

Want another easy idea? Do what I did above. Just glue any extra pieces of projects that didn't work out right to the bag. On the left I have an extra pasting I had made of the <a href="http://www.stampendous.com/products-page/horses-stencil/">Horses Stencil</a>. It was colored with Spectrum Markers. On the right, I glued a "debossed" and colored image of the <a href="http://www.stampendous.com/products-page/dreamweaver-stencil-rooster/">Rooster Stencil</a> to the bag. The rectangular shape that is underneath the rooster image was actually already on the bag.</div>
