Halloween Treat Bag Tags

Happy Halloween Everyone!!!

Today I want to share with you some Halloween treat bag tags I made for the little monsters in my life! 

Here are the candy filled baggies I made for them! 

Candy coma here we come ;)

For the tags I used some stamps I had that I bought a while ago at Micheal's in their dollar bin by craft smart. I thought they would be really cute to stamp and colour... I was right!

Below is an iPhone pic I took after I had stamped them and cut them out using the PixScan mat on the Silhouette Cameo. I then used my Spectrum Noir markers to colour the cuties in. I had so much fun colouring them, I now get why adult colouring is becoming so popular these days! I felt like a kid again :)

Once the cut out stamps were all coloured, I attached them to the tags using some foam tape. The background paper I used comes from My Minds Eye - Halloween Basics Paper Pad. The tags measure 3x4 inches each.

And here are the finished tags ready for my little Monsters!

Forgot to take a pic of the back of the tags with my good camera, so here is another iPhone pic!

Hope you liked my Halloween Treat Bag Tags.
Happy Haunting and stay safe!

Let the Sun Shine In - Mixed Media Painting

Hello Sunshine!

It's finally Spring here, but it still looks like winter outside! Nevertheless, I can't wait for the sunny and warm Spring weather ahead :)

Today I want to share with you all my latest mixed media painting. I'm so addicted to this craft already! It's the perfect blend of paper, paint, modgepoge and embellishments.  I love how it turned out, and was super excited to give it away to a friend of mine that was in need of a little sunshine in her life! Hope that when she looks at this, it will make her day will feel a little brighter ;)

The paper I used was all scrap pieces of paper I've collected through the years of papercrafting that I had no idea what to do with. I just free hand cut out the flower. I did however use my silhouette machine to cut out the stamped letters. I finally got a chance to try out my pixscan mat. Click HERE to see what the pixscan is all about!

Hard to see from a picture, but there is so much detail and texture on this painting... I LOVE it!!!

Here is a step by step look at how the painting evolved!

I hope this has inspired my fellow paper crafters (or anyone else intersted) to try out this type of painting... If you are a crafter, I'm sure you have tones of scrap paper you could use up! For those of you wanting to try this, I would recommend watching some You Tube videos and then just go for it! You'll be amazed at what a little paint, paper, modgepoge and creativity can make!
