Ink Something Crafty

This week at La-La Land Crafts, our design team created with the theme:   HALLOWEEN (or shall I say... OWL-oween! 🤣)  I have to admit, I was stumped!  I don't have Halloween stamps, so I got creative with stencils & dies.  I had this really cool  Cave Die ,  and I thought what a  hoot  it would be to use the   Owl Builder Die  and create kindof a spooky sky background!  Then... (and this is the cool part)... I thought I would make the owl swing from the top!!  I got that idea from recently seeing Sam Calcott's video  here .  I did make some adjustments - I did not use her die set, I just hand cut & punched my own for the mechanism, but it's so easy and totally works!  Swings pretty well too, I might add!  Design Steps: 1.  I started with a black Top folding square card base that is 5-1/2".   I then die cut the largest die from the  Cave Die  set from the card front. 2.  I decided to add a lil stenciling on the front so I used white craft (Pigment) ink and the

Happy Monday friends!    It's been a li'l while since I've made one of these 4-drawer easel cards so I thought I would make one using the NEW CHRISTMAS RELEASE   at The Scrapping Cottage!   These are perfect for gifting li'l treasures or small wrapped candies etc!  Although the top card folds down, the boxes underneath do not, so this is one of those gifts that's perfect for giving in person ... or displaying on your entryway table for your holiday guests! I've used the new    Snowman with Tree and the Happy Reindeer & Snowman   today, but ALL the individual dies in this release are  30% off for a limited time!! I created my own version of the 4-drawer easel back in 2010 by using a simple origami fold for the drawers and then I came up with the measurements for the drawer casings.  You can of course just make 4 simple boxes from cardstock, but I think it's pretty to have them made inside and out from patterned paper - lightweight scrapbook paper is ke
