Ooops!

I had a slight crafting mishap on Christmas morning!!
The kids were using my TH scissors to open some pressies and left them out....later I was presented with the following by Miss Willow Beagle who carefully bought it out of her crate to show me....

....look how pleased she is with her crafting endeavours!
Still the wonderful Joanna Sheen fixed me up in no time with a new shiny pair-I sent her the photo to give her a laugh and as a thank you for her excellent service!

Happy Crafting!

12 Days of Creepmas -Day 6!

Can't believe we are already halfway through!
After the cute but creepy Kraftin' Kimmie inspired tag I decided to go super grungy!
I used the same metal foil tape technique I'd used on my teeny Mad Hatter hat as I LOVED it!

I created a sheet of the embossed metal effect and then cut my diecuts from that and added them to my tag!
I used Sizzix Stars Die, Sizzix Alterations Vintage Noel Die, Spellbinders Heirloom Ornaments 2011, QuicKutz holly Leaves Die.

Happy Creepmas see you again soon!

12 Days of Creepmas - Day 5

Day 5 and I decided to play with my gorgeous Kraftin' Kimmie stamp- I love her pretty face, so like Angelica from Rugrats and her WEIRD dollies- very Coraline!

I used mostly October Afternoon paper and die cute by Spellbinders.
The stamp is Kraftin' Kimmie coloured with Copic Ciao markers.

Look at that face so cute but those dolls LOL what lurks beneath ?!

Hope you are enjoying Creepmas like I am!
Happy Crafting!

12 Days of Creepmas- Day 4

Here we go with the 4th day of Creepmas from Smeared and Smudged
 I saw THIS fabulous little Mad Hatter Hat online at Regina's blog and had to have a play!
I decided to combine Regina's hat template with Tim Holtz's foil tape method and create something grungy and Steampunk:

I first covered a piece of cardstock with sections of foil tape and embossed them with different scratches and stud marks- easy to do with a soft pencil or metal foil working tools.
I then brushed on a thin coat of black acrylic and left it to dry.
Take a piece of sandpaper and rub over the surface which brings out he silver of the foil while leaving black paint in the crevices like oil!
I then used Regina's template and cut out the hat pieces and glued them together with hot glue.
Finally I added some Tim Holtz tinsel, an ideaology mini cog and some QuicKutz holly leaves cut from foil coloured with a Copic Marker.
And ta-da!!

This is teeny too- it's less than 2 inches high, I love really diddy things!

Entered in Simon Says Stamp's Gift Challenge

Hope you are enjoying the Creepmas blogs with all the cool projects!
