Fang-tastic Blog Hop – Day 4

October 10, 2011 by Rebecca Wagner 7 Comments

I am sad that today is the last day of the hop.  I have been having so much fun making projects and stretching my skills to try new techniques.  Thanks so much for joining me and the rest of the gang on the hop.  Hope you all will stay around and keep checking back for new projects.

As usual lately, I have been using the awesome Bee Witching Collection and Bee Scared 3D Tree by SVGs by Bee.  If you haven’t been to her website and checked out all the great files, please go now!  You will not be sorry.  The tombstones and moon are in the collection whereas the tree is a separate purchase.  The sign was made by me in Make the Cut.  I will have it available for download at the end of this post for free.

I used some homemade glimmer mist on the tree to give it an aged looked. Yes, that is glow in the dark eyes with hand drawn fangs.  They were not part of the file but it kicks up the spook a notch. I have to give mad props to my Boss Kut Gazelle.  The eyes on the tombstone are only a tenth of an inch and cut out beautifully.  The spiders on the background are a Sizzix Texturz Halloween plate.

I thought Alyssa’s sentiment stamp went perfectly with the front of this card.  I used the Ghostly Greetings set.  Here’s a closeup.

Perfect, isn’t it?  Hehehe.  The slight curve in the “Happy Halloween” was intentional.  I should have done it a little more.  Looks cool.  I took another whack with the Dremel.  It distressed much better this time.  I just put a little more rear in it.  And if you have seen mine, you know the Dremel was scared! Hilde was jealous that Curry got face time here on my blog, so she posed for this picture.  She is a crazy one.

Can you believe she was the runt of the litter?!?  As far as Great Danes go, she is rather small.  But she’s still our little baby girl!  I think she is apologizing here for all those brown spots she keeps putting in our lawn.  Naughty girl! Today is the last day to enter the giveaway.   I will be drawing a winner on Tuesday, October 11th hopefully by noon.  To enter, please follow the directions on Day 1’s post which can be found here.  Only comments made on “DAY 1” will be entered into the giveaway. Here is the line-up again if you didn’t hop the first day or want to go through again time:

    I love how you embossed the background and inked it. And the use of Bee’s SVGs – just wonderful. What a great hop this was, so so so many awesome projects. Great job! Melanie

    I love it darling! For someone who doesn’t usually “like” Halloween you are having WAY to much fun! I’m so lucky to have you;) (Oh and the ICU Tree is in the Bee Witching collection but the 3-D tree is sold AlaCarte) But HEY you haven’t picked a winner yet:)

    Becki–you ended with a nice card. It has the right balance of elements. I like the glowing tombstones.

    Thanks everyone! I know Bee! It seems I am a closet Halloween nut. I just had so many ideas I couldn’t believe it. There is a link up there for both elements, the collection and the 3D tree. Just so you know. 🙂

We won’t lie, we miss the foil. ✨ But when our We won’t lie, we miss the foil. ✨
But when our foiling machine officially kicked the bucket, we rolled up our sleeves and got creative instead.

Meet the four new gradients stepping in as foil’s glow-up cousins. No drama, just smooth color and crisp prints. And judging by the reviews… yeah, people are loving them.

Sometimes Plan B turns out pretty darn good. 💁‍♀️

These are Crimson Luxe top tabs in two versions: one with reinforced holes, one without.

The goal here is simple:
How well do they hold up when you pop them in, move them around, and reposition dividers as needed?

Early takeaway?
These aren’t meant to be shuffled around constantly like a disc planner. This is more of a place-them-with-intention, then let them live there situation.

I’m testing both versions to see what actually holds up in real use, not just what looks good in photos.
More notes once I’ve abused them a little more. 😏
