Snag'em Stamps
Snag'em!
When Imaginisce introduced their
little pieces of art called "Snag'em" stamps
a few years back, I immediately fell in a lot of love!
They're perfect for all sorts of projects, especially if you're
wanting to create several of the same thing, such as cards or tags.
Here are a couple of sweet cards that I crafted
using Snag'em stamps from Monster Mash and Christmas Cheer.
Here's a little tip that makes a lot of difference when stamping with clear stamps:
lay a piece of foam or cloth under your project before stamping.
This allows the paper to meet with all of the image and leaves you
with a clean design! In coloring in my stamped images, I'm fond of
using watercolor pencils or dye based markers such as LePlume by Marvy.
Supplies: Monster Mash- Mummy, Sugar Skull and Eddie Snag 'Em Stamps;
Spook Alley 12x12 Paper; Tricks & Treats 12x12; Fall Medley 12x12 Paper;
Glam Rocks - Rhinestuds; Tools- i-rock LED Lighted Tweezers; i-rock;
Big Shot and Lace Scalloped Die and Lollipop Font Die by Lifestyle Crafts
In keeping with the homespun feel of the kraft card I wanted to
create a blanket stitch around the edging, but I didn't want to stitch directly onto the card.
Instead, I took a piece of kraft paper and cut it to the size of the card front. I was then
able to add the stitching without losing the effect that I was looking for!
When adding the Hot Rocks to the stamped trees, I just followed the pattern of the dots
from the Christmas Joy Paper ... nice, neat and easy!
Supplies: Christmas Cheer- Partridge & Pear Tree Snag 'em Stamp;
Warm Wishes 12 x 12 Paper; Christmas Joy 12 x 12 Paper; Peace on Earth
5 x 12 Chipboard Sticker; Brad Daddies - Small; Hot Rocks Compact - Glitter;
Tools- i-rock; i-top; Paper Punch - Small; i-rock LED LIghted Tweezers and i-rock Bling Pad

It's Monster Mash Release Week at Imaginisce
and I'm super excited to be sharing the projects that I
crafted with it. If you haven't seen the full collection of Monster Mash,
just stroll on over to Imaginsice! I love that they've stuck with the traditional
Halloween colors and added in a bit of dusty teal blue and green.
As with all Imaginisce collections, cuteness abounds :)
BOO WALL HANGING
For this I started with a plain 'ole inexpensive 3-paned wooden plaque.
After painting the wood black, I added a square of patterned paper in
place of a photograph and began embellishing.
Imaginisce Die Cuts are so generous in size and can easily be layered
with other matching elements such as pieces from the Sticker Stackers or
Canvas Stickers. Don't be afraid to remove (gently) the witch's shoes from the
sticker and try it out somewhere else...I just add a little dab of glue to the
foam dot and you're good to go!
And you know how much I love my leaf punch...I used it here along with
a few Brad Daddies and die-cuts.
I glittered BOO chipboard letters in a purple/silver mixture.
Wanting a soft touch, I tied on chevron ribbon bows to the eye-hooks between
each panel and also at the top for the hanger.
This HUGE bat die-cut is all you need at the top!
He's utter perfection...who couldn't LOVE a face like that?
FACE PAINTING LAYOUT
For my layout I followed the gallon-quart-ounce theory.
In design it it good to remember to keep things in proportion, whether it's color,
photos or embellishments. The dominate color is purple (gallon), followed by
the blue (quart) and then the green (ounce).
The main focus of embellishments is in the bottom 1/3 of the page,
as well as at the right vertical 1/3 of the page.
Proportion helps the flow of a layout, gives rest to the eye and
keeps things pleasing to the viewer :)
Aren't they the cutest parade of characters?
With the exception of the sticker letters and Thickers, everything that
I've used can be found at Imaginisce!
So glad you've stopped by to see my contribution to
MONSTER MASH...
I'm sure that there will be many other projects to follow as I
won't be getting enough of this collection any time soon :)
HAVE A WONDERFUL WEEK!

Thursday afternoon greetings!

I'm up today with
EVERYDAY INSPIRATION
This week's worth of ideas from the other Design Team
members have been tremendous...isn't it amazing to realize
what we're inspired by in our day-to-day environment?
I created this 8.5x11 layout using the canvas print (below)
as my inspiration piece. I love the look of collage art, so I took
that portion and adapted it to my layout.
I used the reverse patterns from Imaginisce's HELLO CUPCAKE and
MAKIN' WAVES papers. To keep in proportion with the inspo piece,
I went with a 5x7 photo and various printed fonts from my computer for
the journal strips.
And while we're at it, Imaginisce is previewing their newest
Halloween line called
MONSTER MASH
Isn't MONSTER MASH totally adorable?!? See it ALL right here!
We'll start sharing projects with you soon.
Up next week...CHRISTMAS in JULY with
CHRISTMAS CHEER!
Thanks for droppin' by to see me!
