Happy 9/9/09 :)
I get excited about Halloween when I see all of the aisles of candy in stores, so I thought I'd create a card to prepare us for such a fun holiday. I realize that it's a not a huge card giving holiday, but why not, right?
Supplies:
Web Crawler Memory Box stamp (web and spider on one stamp)
other:
Buttons
Cut Craft a board and Stamp pad foam to the same size as the web stamp.
Heat the grey side of the Stamp Pad Foam with a heat gun. I heated it for about 1 minute. Press the red rubber stamp onto the hot pad.
Once you lift the stamp, ink the entire surface with Pitch Black ink
Press the foam stamp onto the craft a board. By creating a foam stamp, you are creating a reversed image of the original.
then use the white side of the Stamp Pad Foam to ink the edges of the craft a board.
...until it looks a bit "spooky"
then use some paper scraps to design your card. Stamp sentiment in the lower right corner
And then use the same foam pad to chalk the edges with pitch black ink.
Assemble the card and add 2 button accents to anchor the main panel. I added some machine stitching to add interest. Stamp a spider accent next to the sentiment and add a dew drop to the spider's body (I think it looks eerily real, but it adds such a fun touch) As I sit back to look at the finished card, it reminds me of Charlott's web as she hangs out in the barn. This card will be mailed out to someone, for sure...are you with me?
Thank you for joining me today. :)
