3-D Spider

-
Today's project is what I came up with for the Halloween challenge that SVG Cuts is having on their blog. I used Party on Elm Street, and Midnight Jamboree (for the eyes).

I used the cauldron for the body, and covered it with spider web paper from K&Co. (Halloween paper stack) I embossed with my tiny bubble embossing folder from Cuttlebug.

I cut out the spider legs and used Tim Holtz Picket Fence Distress Marker for the stripes.

I wanted this to be a fun spider so I used some cute eyes from one of the pumpkins in the Midnight Jamboree kit. I made two triangles from my shapes library for the fangs.

The witch hat is the cone candy holder without the folds, so I was able to trim the bottom and create a round cone. I crunched the top a little to make it look more like a witch hat and used hot glue to attach it to a circle (also from my shapes library. I created the buckle as well by creating a frame and welding a rectangle in the middle.

A little fun ribbon for the hat and bow-tie finish it off!

I made the haunted house last year, and along with some fun orange and purple lights, and a black light, I think this cute spider fits right in.
Ahhh, he's attacking the ghosts and little puny spiders on the house!


Now he's in the tree! Watch out, he's coming for you next!

Or not, he seems to like it up here.


So that's that, and I hope you don't encounter any real spiders this size, and if you do, I'm sorry. Oh, and Happy Friday to all!

Coffee Filter Fall Leaves

I know it's still hot out in most places right now, but in Florida I'll take any excuse to bring on cooler weather or at least the idea of it, so I want to share a fun and easy tutorial for making fall leaves out of coffee filters. I purchased some white coffee filters from the Dollar Tree, some $1.00 spray bottles (Target, Walmart and Michaels have them), and I used food coloring mixed with water and pearl powders to make my shimmer sprays. On either wax paper, freezer paper or a Ranger Craft Sheet, start spraying the colors until you have some variety of yellow, orange, green and red. Then start to soak your coffee filter until it is filled with color. Set it aside to let it dry or you can bake it in a 200 degree oven for faster dry time. I also used my heat tool and that work great too. Step 1 . Create a leaf template onto 110 lb paper using a real leaf or an existing silk leaf and trace onto dry coffee filter. Step 2 . Cut out the leaf shape....

Aged Treasure Chest

Good sunshiny morning!  I have a very cool treasure chest to share with you today.  My friend is getting married with a nautical theme, and she asked me to make her a treasure box to hold the cards at the gift table instead of the classic birdcage or decorative box.  We played around with a couple of proto-types, but they were all too small to hold a large card, let alone several.  That's when I knew I was going to have to get creative and play with a couple of different kits to get the look we were after.  I used these kits from SVG Cuts: Ryan's Play Date I used just the sides and bottom of the box My Day with Dad I used the lid from the tool box, but not the sides of the lid (I cut a few extra slits in the tabs so that it would fit around a semi-circle). French Quarter Ironwork I used the fleur decorative piece, and just cut it to fit. I also used some basic shapes from my library such as the h...

Christmas Blessings

Hello all, I have been vacant from posting due to school...(blech) but now I am free! I just finished my last two courses that qualify me for my AA degree (only took me forever to get to this point), so I am so excited to be finished with that portion of school. Now on to some fun stuff!  I have made a lantern for Halloween and Fall, so I thought I would stick with the theme and make one for Christmas to give to my sister since she doesn't have much in the way of Christmas decorations. I took these pictures with the tealight led, but I gave her a color changing light too, so she can swith it up. My nephew (he's 7) took a look at both and decided he liked the color changing light the best, and wanted to put it in his room...I guess they can share. I will start by crediting Mod Paperie with the idea project she posted, hers is totally awesome and her details are ridiculous (in a totally awesome way of course)!!! On to the project... Here are the supplies I...
