Unique Mummy

Hi Crafty Friends,
I am gearing up for Halloween with this Mummy Card featuring Brass & Bliss Mummy Cover Die 5731D. I decided to make a unique mummy in black and orange instead of the typical white mummy. Use the links below to shop!

Make Crafty Friends Q & A:
Q: Do you make Halloween cards?
A: Me? Yes, I love Halloween

Step #1: I die cut the mummy's eyes from black and white cardstock. Then I die cut the mummy piece from orange cardstock and I mounted them on textured black crepe paper to give it a more cloth like look.
 

Step #2: I mounted the mummy on purple cardstock to make it pop and added the BOO sentiment in the same purple cardstock to match using Brass & Bliss Upper Case Alphabet with Stitch Die 5140-01D.

Supplies:
Brass & Bliss Mummy Cover Die 5137D

Nordic Bundled Foxes in Love

Hi Crafty Friends,
I am getting ready for fall with these darling foxes from Poppy Stamps called Nordic Bundled Fox Dies 2724 and Nordic Happy Fox Dies 2733. I matched them up over the Poppy Stamps Vintage Scalloped Heart Die 2562.

Make Crafty Friends Q & A:
Q: Do you have foxes where you live?
A: Me? I did in Chicago but haven't seen any in PA yet

Step #1: I started by building my Nordic Happy Fox with different shades of purple cardstock for her outfit and yellow for her shirt.

Step #2: Next, I created my Nordic Bundled Fox with the same colors for his outfit so they could match.

Step #3: I mounted both foxes in the center of my card over top the Vintage Scalloped Heart and placed them on matching purple and yellow plaid paper from the Memory Box Gladiola Plaid Paper Pad.

Totally Rad

Hi Crafty Friends,
I was inspired by Jaded Blossom's August Challenge 80's for this cutie. I used Jaded Blossom Holiday Dress Up Stamp Set. I colored her in fluorescent colors and gave her leg warmers, wrist warmers, and a sweat band as an 80's Fitness Instructor like Jane Fonda. I made my background with Simon Hurley's Pow Stencil and Thermoweb Rina K Neon Pink Enamel. I die cut my sentiment in neon green to say "Totally Rad" and mounted it on Simon Says Stamp Nested Star Dies in purple and neon green.

Make Crafty Friends Q & A:
Q: Did you dress like this in the 80's?
A: Me? I was a little young for this style but definitely did side ponytails and neon colors
