Last Minute Halloween Idea

I am having a Halloween party this year and need some idea to decorate the home without spending a lot of Money. So I took out my stamps and started to have some fun.




I have lots of candle and did not want to purchase some just for Halloween. So I
Candle
1) Stamp "Moon Girl's Crow" by Stampotique onto transparency sheet or Vinyl cover sheet (both can be found at the office supple store, purchase a box you will get lots of great idea to use them). Use a permit ink to do this, like Palette Hybrid Ink from Stewart Superior.
2) after you stamp your image onto the transparency, cut out image and tape onto candle. REMEMBER TO USE A FLAMELESS CANDLE.

PICTURE FRAME
1) Another really easy idea. I stamped the same Crow Image onto white cardstock. Used a old frame and done.

Tombstones
1) I purchase these tombstones at a craft store (Micheal's) and when I open the package they were all the same. Well that is not going to do. So I turned the tombstones over and used my stamps to make my own saying. I used "Crow Line" and "Altered Alpha" stamps both by Stampotique Original and Palette Hybrid ink in black.

Well I hope you enjoy these really easy idea to decorate your home for the holidays. Remember this will work for all the holidays.

Stewart Superior Newsletter - Fall 2009

In the Stewart Superior Newsletter for Fall 2009, I talk about ink your stamp so that you achieve a distressed look. Here is sample of that technique using a "Diamonds" Stamp from Stampotique. In the top image, I only ink the stamp a little leaving the background paper to show through. In the bottom image I ink the stamp complete, giving me a clean image. The Ink that I used to make this sample are: Memories Dye Ink "Ruby" on the stamp, Memories Mists "Pale Ale" on background and Memories Chalk Ink" Creamy Coffee" on edges. All ink can be found at Stewart Superiors Website. If you ever have a question - please feel free to contact me at my e-mail address: Terri@ultimatescrapbookretreat.com

Stewart Superior Newsletter - Fall 2009

This is one of the project I featured in the Fall newsletter for Stewart Superior. I talked about Different way to distress and this way used White as the distressing color instead of Browns. The paper and embellishments in this project are from Anna Griffin. Her papers are so amazing to use.
In this photo, I am show how to use Memories Chalk Ink to distress the edges of the paper. I used "Milky White" and "Angelia Pink", use the direct to paper technique to achieve a distressed look.
