Happy Halloween from Want2Scrap!

Hiya!
AJ here with another Halloween card to share!  Last one from me, I promise! ;)

I just couldn't resist one more card! For my card today, I paired up some Spellbinders dies, and a sentiment from Avocado Arts.  I used a few of the bling from the Black 72 count pack on my card, as well as one from the Lavender 72 count pack to finish it off.

Happy Halloween

Boo!  AJ here, sharing another Halloween card!  Halloween is hands down my FAVE for card making- not sure what it is, but I can't get enough of it! 

For my card today, I created a round card using my Spellbinders dies and Echo Park paper.  I stamped the spider web in purple and added a small sized bling from the Lavender 72 count pack.  I also added two of the smallest bling from the Orange 72 count pack.

Halloween is almost here, you won't be subjected to too many more cards in this color scheme!! :) well, maybe one more!

Spooky

Hi all, AJ here with a Halloween card to share using Want2Scraps Bling!

Halloween is one of my FAVORITE holidays to make cards for- very odd since I never mail them! I always have an abundance of them, and never the thank you or birthday card when I need it! lol
I can't quite put my finger on what it is I love so much- I just love the colors maybe! 
My card today uses Nina's dies from Spellbinders to make a haunted house.  I spelled out Spooky with letter stickers, and of course, finished it all off with a few different sizes from Want2Scrap's 72 Count Lavender and Orange Bling.

Vintage Pumkin ATC

 

Hi there!  It's officially autumn these days and it makes me crave the pretty and warm colors of the season.  Time for an ATC project that brings a little fall indoors.

 

Using products from Want2Scrap and our partners, Sakura and Beacon Adhesives, I was able to craft up a pretty ATC sized wall hanging.  The vintage label was a free download from the Graphics Fairy blog.  The black and orange bling from Want2Scrap make a pretty border when lined up along the top and bottom of the label.

A painted layer of Crystal Laquer from Sakura over the vintage label gives it a glossy finish and makes the ATC more durable so it will last for many autumn seasons to come.

 

What are you making this autumn?

Spooky Halloween Pin or Home Decor

Good morning blogging friends! Today, I have a fun little Halloween project to share with you.
I used the Nestaboard™ Sprightly Sprockets by Donna Salazar and embellished them with paint, die cuts and bling to make a fun & spooky Halloween pin.

But if you don't want to wear this as a pin you can pin it to a black ribbon and create a a little mini home decor wall hanging.


I painted the largest and smallest sprockets using Black and Bronze ECO-Friendly Acrylic Paint from Eco Green Crafts. For the medium sprocket I used Echo Park Apothecary Emporium Collection designer paper and S5-048 Sprightly Sprockets from Spellbinders to cut/emboss perfectly matching shapes. Then I added some Halloween die cuts using S4-280 Halloween Fences Scenes and Shapes (Crow) and S4-282 Witches Brew (Boot) from
Spellbinders. I added Baby Bling Red Rhinestones to the eyes on the skull and the crow.


Here is a close up of the boot and I added 72 Count Light Green Rhinestones. I also added 72 Count Purple Rhinestones going around the largest sprocket.


To create the rose I used old book pages, S5-050 Rose Creations and Tattered Angels Popsicle Glimmer Mist.


For a little sparkle I added Pralines & Cream Fairy Dust Glitter.

Thank you so much for stopping by today! I hope you have a wonderful weekend and a creative day!!

Hugs,

A web any spider diva would love!

Hi Want2Scrap fans! So I was playing around with my supplies from Want2Scrap™ and EcoGreen Crafts and came up with something fun I hope you'll like. Sometimes you have to think outside the label and that is what I did with the "Peony" shape from Spellbinders™. Black paint plus Nestaboard™ and Nestabling™ = some blingy spiderweb for the pending Halloween festivities!

After painting my Nestaboard™ black with acrylic paint from EcoGreen (which by the way has a fabulous flat black finish like chalkboard, just sayin!) and applying all four Nestabling™ Peony bling rings and started filling in the web.

I like using this fabric glitter glue from Duncan carried in my local Michaels and JoAnns stores for fine line details like this project.

Once the glitter is mostly dry add small single bling gems in open areas on the web to up the GLAM!

Silver jewelry thread is perfect for this three-tiered ornament. I was able to use purple gems to accent the thread too. Super simple spooky fun!

October Guest Designer - Debbie Seyer World Card Making Day - Everything Pink 50% Off!!

Good morning blogging friends! I can't believe it's the 1st of October! To me October signifies the beginning of Fall and the upcoming holidays. It seems like once we hit October everything is in full swing and doesn't seem to slow down until after the holidays.

Today, I have the pleasure of introducing our Guest Designer for the month of October, Debbie Seyer. I am so happy Debbie will be joining us this month!! She has a clean and classic style that I know you are going to love.


My name is Debbie Seyer and I live in Arnold, Missouri. I am a stay-at-home mom to three beautiful girls and I have been married to my High School sweetheart, Keith, for almost 20 years. My paper crafting journey started when our whole family went to Disney World in 1996. I started scrapbooking and finally found a hobby where I could actually complete my projects. In 2000, a friend invited me to a rubber stamping home workshop and I fell in love with cardmaking. I am proud to say that I have been published multiple times in paper crafting and scrapbooking magazines. I love working on Design Teams and have been very blessed to be on some really great teams. Besides paper crafting, I help with Funeral Luncheons at our church, help with Girl Scouts and am the taxi driver to a variety of musical instrument lessons for my girls. My hubby and I love to take our girls camping and exploring, watch movies and play board games.


I love these beautiful butterfly cards that Debbie designed! She used the Nestabling without a die template and hand cut one side giving her two pieces of bling to work with. Great idea!


This is a layout of Debbie's daughter Caitlyn. Great color combination and I love the designer paper and touches of bling she used to compliment the beautiful photo of her daughter.


Check out this fantastic blingy Halloween Tag Book! What a fun design! It's won't be long and Halloween will be here!!

To see more of Debbie's wonderful designs please visit her blog ~ A Peek Into My Stamping Room.

October 1st is a very important day in the paper crafting world because it's World Card Making Day. All of us at Want2Scrap™ would like to wish you a Happy World Card Making Day!!

October is also known as Breast Cancer Awareness Month. I think at some point in our lives we have all had cancer effect us either personally, a loved one or a friend. Want2Scrap™ recognizes Breast Cancer Awareness Month and All Pink items on our website will be at 50% off for the entire month of October. At the end of the month, Want2Scrap™ will donate 10% of sales on all these Pink items to the Susan G. Komen Foundation. Check out all of the Pink at Want2Scrap!

Thank you so much for stopping by today! I hope you have a wonderful weekend and Happy World Card Making Day!! Take some time to create!! ;-)

Hugs,

It was a dark, and blingy evening...

...THE perfect time to get CRAFTY!

I wanted to MAKE something cool...
...it had to be snappy!

A little EcoGreen™ paint, and Want2Scrap™ bling -
mixed up all together: the PERFECT thing!

A ghoulish delight - creative loot, in my sight...
For it would soon be... a FUN crafty night!

Patterned paper, festooned
with print-styles, a-plenty...

A wash of white paint 'n gloss medium,
painted gently...

A wash, most transparent...
the perfect recipe...

Some MASKING, and basking...
in glorious paint, yes, siree!

Mixed well, with gel medium,
for subtle effects...

...a frightening, MYSTERIOUS amount of text
peeking through, MOST eeeeeer-ily,
it makes me, so HA-PPY!
{I'm CHEERING, cheerilyyyy!}

The shine of the moon...

a most haunting sky...

A whole bunch of glue,
to rapidly dry...

Firmly rubbed from the front, till smooth it would be,
a slice from the backside - marks an "x" perfectly!

Some folding and gluing to hold ends down tight...
for the front of this frame will soon give you a fright!

Want2Scrap™ puts out laser-cuts, for ev-ery season!
So detailed and beautiful - they give so much reason...
for scrapbooks and crafts and cards filled with glee...
when THIS one didn't fit right, I merely cut off the tree...

No worry, I saved it! That small, detailed nub.
By coating with gloss medium, to the roof, up above!

You can't even tell. I feel clever, now. These images,
such a value, will make you go, "WOW!"... SO, click
in YOUR cart, when that big order you start...

Want2Scrap™ has much MORE than bling,
there's all KINDS of stuff -
I hope you'll check EVERYTHING out...
SOME is NEVER enough.

For one final effort, one more little thing
I painted a ghost -

be-speckled with bling...

A fine, haunting sight, to recall spooky nights
I know right where to find it,
GOOD STUFF and no duff!

That's why, this I'm sharing, the fun never ends
Want2Scrap™ sells the goods - LOVE THEM ALL,
Amen.

Spooky Luminaries light up the night!

Hello friends! Today I am excited to share a holiday project with you!

Want2Scrap™ has wonderful laser cuts, so very intricate, and I snapped up these three a little while back in the hopes of making some fun new Halloween decor. From left to right:

Haunted House Spooky

Haunted Tree with Owl

Witch on Broom over Treeline

I also had two glade candles in the perfect shade of orange to use for this project.

I started by separating the witch laser cut from the white cardstock moon.

Add adhesive to the backside of the laser cut. I chose a repositionable one in case I needed to move things around and also because any excess would be easy to rub off of the glass once the laser cut was applied to the candle holder.

I was careful to get all of the tiny details coated in adhesive.

In this case I trimmed the overhanging part of the laser cut and repositioned it according to the size of the candle holder.

Perfect fit!

She's spooky huh? I love the great orange glow of the candle behind the black laser cut. Now, I would be remiss if I didn't lend a bit of caution...the laser cuts are paper so be sure and practice safe candle burning habits. For a similar effect use a glass container and a battery operated mini light if you plan to leave this luminary unattended.

OoooooooOOOooooooh! I think I feel the first crisp breezes of Autumn.

I hope your Halloween is spooktacular!
