Halloween Fabric Postcard

HI!  Finally a long stretch of time to do some crafting.  With halloween just around the corner (and one of my favorite holidays!!) I have been having fun creating all sorts of halloween themed cards and etc.  This is a fabric postcard (which is a bit tardy, need to mail it off pronto!). This is a digi stamp from McMahon 5 design.  I printed it on the special ink jet paper then ironed it on to the fabric.  It is really fun working with fabric.  I have enjoyed dusting off the old sewing machine and creating again.

No crafting time recently.

Well all my spare time has involved painting and staining. We are remodeling our larger bathroom...making progress.  Hope to get some craft time in on Wed. on my day off.  Here are some destruction pics.

The tub is the last part of the "Blue Bathroom".  When we are done it will be re-covered in porcelin to white.

This is where the old cabinet was...obviously have more painting to do!!

Kraftin Kimmie Halloween Card "perfect poison"

This is an unmounted set from Kraftin Kimmie. Really fast service and refunded excess shipping when it cost less than expected. NICE!!  The card is my first attempt at the tutorial by Beate Johns on SSC.  She is so talented.  (this is actually my second attempt, didn't even put the first one together right! LOL).

The card is in two pieces. The character is mounted on the paper band that hold the card together.

Love this stamp!  She looks so diabolical and sweet at the same time.  From far away you wouldn't notice her dress etc. then you would move closer and it would be too late!  BOO!

Inside of the card

Card all folded together.  I zigzaged the paper on my machine.  Need to work on getting it straighter.

Here it is all together.

First Halloween Card of 2011

Well it is officially fall in Spokane now. So I got in the mood for halloween.  I bought a new Martha Stewart punch yesterday for 1/2 off so I had to try it. This card measures 5 1/2 X 6. The purple and copper paper in the middle is one of the modified polished stone papers I was fiddling around with the other day.  I like how the spider seems to be hidden in web on the copper area. There is sparkling glitter between the orange web. I ran this part through the Xyron and there was adhesive showing so I sprinkled glitter there.  Quite a fun accident. The bottom of the card is washi tape I got on Ebay.  I had been hearing about it so I wanted to try some. 

Penguin Pants spider, the sentiment is unmounted so ?? as to who to give credit to.  I use this stamp every year.

Monthly SU club

The punch card was fabulous this month.  Lots of pieces but well worth all the cutting and glueing.  It is also an easel card.  My husband stole the third card to send to his aunt before I could take a pic.

Love the grungy flower.  Right up my alley so to speak!
