Banner Swap with Gina(Scrappinlogy) at myscraproom

Hello everyone. I participated in a banner swap over at myscraproom.ning.com hosted by Gina. The word was "Believe". We had to make our banner piece 6x6 in any shape and use traditional christmas colors.

My pieces were cut out of recycled cereal boxes and bazzill cardstock using the Winter Woodland cricut cartridge. The tree branch was cut using kraft paper and then distressed in vintage photo ink by TH Ranger. Instead of cutting out the circles for the berries on the branch, I used aged mahogany distress ink and then used fired brick distressed stickles on top. For the snow effect, I used liquid applique in white and then sprinkled some fine glitter while still wet and dried it with my heat gun.

This was a fun and quick project!! I was very pleased with my results, especially being my first banner swap!!

Halloween Tag Swap with Ivett Carillo

Here's another Halloween tag swap I joined. I really love Halloween so I couldn't resist! Please check out Ivett @ivettcarrillo.blogspot.com.

For my tag I cut the Werewolf from another file I purchased  from svgcuts.com. The background I got from the dollar bin at Target. I distressed the edges with black acrylic paint and used Lindy's Stamp Gang Starburst spray in Ghostly Gargoyle White. On dark paper this gives off a blue shimmer which I loved since I wanted that "night" look. I also used my Paper Dolls Cartridge to cut out the scary rock, and the trees were cut using my Stretch your Imaginations cartridge. The fence is from a Martha Stewart punch and the moon was cut from orange hologram cardstock.  Happy Halloween!!

Iscraphappy Halloween Tag Swap

I participated in a tag swap with Aliscia @ iscraphappy on you tube. She had different groups and I was in the "Candy" group. Our tags had to be 6 1/2 x  3 1/4 i size. I cut out my candy corn from a file I purchased at svgcuts.com. The spider web stamp is by Inkadinkado and is embossed in black embossing powder and the little spider is a brad by Recollections. I used green cardstock for the background paper and sprayed it with Lindy's Stamp Gang Starburst Sprays in Freaky Franken-lime. For the phrase I used my Dymo label maker in black and cut out each word. I used purple ribbon and black fibers along with a lollipop charm I made with beads. That's my tag guys. Hope you liked it!
