Happy Halloween

Happy Thursday!


Lisa here with your Thursday Inky Inspiration.

I have used the Happy Halloween Pennant as my main focal point for this cute Halloween card.


Decorative papers are from the Me & My Big Ideas Mambi Sheets 6x6 paper pad and are layered onto black card stock from Recollections and the white cardstock base is from Georgia Pacific. The ribbon is from Hobby Lobby.

What do you think...cute, huh??

See ya next Thursday!

Mummy Card Tutorial



Hello!
Again here, I'm Cristina.
There are many versions of this mummy card, but if you have never done, I leave a small, fast and simple tutorial.


We need:
a piece of black cardstock 9 inches by 4 1/2
two pieces of cardstock orange 4 by 4 inches
12 strips of half-inch white paper for 4 1/2
two eyes 
two pieces of black cardstock, one-inch circle.
Disstres black and brown ink.
A die corner optional. Scissors and glue.
Inky Impressions digital stamp: Happy Halloween pennant.


 The orange cardstock pieces, rounding the edges.
After inking with black distress ink.

 I fold the piece of black cardstock in half.
Also rounding the edges.


 Stick inside black cardstock, one piece of orange.


 The strips of white paper.
I'm going to ink with brown sides, to give it an old dressing.

 When all the strips have inked, let's stick on orange cardstock that remains.
Strips placed horizontally, leaving a small triangle at the top, where you see the orange background.

Needless two strips of paper, put cross on the rest.

 When we all glued white strips. Turn the piece and cut what it excels.
Round the edges.

 Now stick it on the card.
Will the outside.

 I used two different sized moving eyes.
Stick to a piece of black paper (circle one inch).
You can leave and cut around the eye or smaller, as I have done.

Eyes stick the front of the card. Right in the orange piece before I left.

And finally this little mummy ornament with a banner.
I have used three times, two small and one larger, on a piece of orange cardstock.
Finally a bit of twine on the flags and is now complete.

Very simple to make your own lovely mummy Halloween card.

Witch's Broom


Hey everyone, I hope you are all having a great day! 

It’s Lisa here with a little Inky Impressions Inspiration for you.

Well, today is my very first posting day on Inky Impressions Inspiration Blog…sooo excited to be a part of this team!

I wanted to share an idea for all of those little ghosts and goblins out there.  I got the idea of my broom covered lollipop from Splitcoast Stampers. You can find their tutorial here.  I used a Dum-Dum Sucker for my broom and the cut sizes SCS has works perfectly.



 I gathered my supplies:
  •  Inky Impressions Digi Stamp Happy Halloween Pennant or any Halloween or Fall image from Inky Impressions
  •  Ink for inking the paper - I used Tim Holtz Distress ink in black soot, vintage photo & walnut stain
  •  Sucker of choice (round works best) If you are using a bigger sucker, measure to make sure it will cover and adjust accordingly. 
  •  Brown/Craft Cardstock – I used Recollections brand
  •  Markers of choice – I used Copics YG23 &C1
  •  Twine for “tying” the broom on – I used Doodle Twine Bon Bon 
  •  Glue or tape
  •   Any extra bling you wish to use


Using the instructions from Splitcoast Stampers, assemble your broom.
Here are the pics of mine in the process:





This would be a really great idea for Trick-or-Treat night, a Fall Harvest / Halloween gift for the class or a teacher or even a co-worker. Give it a try, they work up really quick and are just so stinking cute!

I hope I have given you a little inspiration today.

Thanks for stopping by,
