Haunted House Skeleton Card
For this Halloween card I used a pumpkin orange card stock for the main card. I cut the hunted house using the Cricut and the Pumpkin Carving cartridge out of black vinyl. I hand cut the grave yard below out of the same black vinyl. The poke-a-dot stripe at the bottom is Japanese Washi Tape. Finally, I attached a plastic skeleton, with glue, that I picked up at a party supply store. Happy Halloween!
It is beginning to look a lot like fall – can you feel it in the air? Soon enough we will be able to turn our ovens on and bake and there is nothing thriftier then making your own bread. It really is inexpensive and is not hard at all. This is a perfect Sunday afternoon project and it will yield four loaves so you will have bread for an entire week. Well that is if you don’t slather it with butter right out of the oven and eat an entire loaf on the spot. For the recipe, how to and tips jump on over to my piece at the Phoenix New Times Chow Bella: Homemade Classic French Bread.
IÂ love sending cards and making them for friends. This is a Halloween card that I made using the Cuttlebug embossing folders and card stock.The plaid is Japanese Washi tape and the eyes on the owl are created by using my Imaginisce i-rock. I also have a stack of these cards for sale at MADE.
Gift sets are fun to make for your gal pals. This project is a paper box and paper roller skates cut from Bazzil Basics Paper on the Cricut and embossed on the Cuttlebug. Craft foam was added to the roller skates for the wheels. The nail polish and lip gloss have vinyl on them cut from the Cricut and then drawn on with a Wite-out marker. As an added bonus there is a Shrinky Dink charm cut on the Cricut and drawn on with Sharpie makers. For the complete tutorial click here: Paper Gift Box Set Happy Crafting – xoxo Lovely Lula
This cute button hair accessories project is a great one to make for gifts. Make a lot of them and have them on hand for those last minute gift giving needs.The first step is to cut shapes like flowers and circles out of craft felt. Next glue stacks of buttons on top of the craft felt shape using E-6000 glue. Set these aside over night to dry. Once dry, glue to the barrette blank, again with E-6000. That’s it! Instant barrette fabulousness.
