A Brewing for Halloween


This week the Stampendous team is showing the Witches Brew and more products in the July 2013 catalog. As I'm not big on halloween I did have some fun creating bits and pieces of a frightful party night. This is how the story of my projects go...

It's only fitting that we make a formal invitation to join us in the event with a hauntingly easy invitation. Leave it on your bedside to remind you to come. It starts at half past a candelabra under a haunting witch's silhouette


Best be prepared for your quick change to night with a DIY glitter nail. 

Ingredients:
Nail tips (preferably fake)
Clear Nail polish
Craft mat

  1. Apply adhesive sheets cut down to the right size of the nail.
  2. Dip the nail end into Orange Micro Glitter and press against the glitter. Lift and tap off excess. (If it looks transparent repeat.)
  3. Turn it around and dip the nail into Purple Micro Glitter the same as you did before with the Orange Micro Glitter.
  4. In a single pass cover nail with clear nail polish. Add a second coat to make them smooth and shiny.
  5. To wear just add Sticky Panels DS Adhesive Sheets to the nail bed and try to keep them out of the wet brew for the night. Who knows what potion might be created with these frightly nails.



Speaking of potions there will be a Witch's Brew Award for the best of the night. Create one quickly with your Halloween Charms Perfectly Clear set.


Use a glue pen to get the Micro Glitter into the creases of your next rosette. Add some to the tips and 


Oops! Be careful not to spill!


And if your potion or brew needs a old snare grab one with Stampendous Poison Labels Perfectly Clear set.



Have a wonderfully nice weekend!

There is an Anni-Verve-Sary party going on today! Verve Stamp Company is 2 years old! The hop started at Verve's blog , so come hop on board and see over 5 dozen projects that are sure to get your Verve on! I've been waiting for the right time to blog about this project and when the opportunity came to join in the anniversary blog hop for Verve I knew it was time. My blog hop project today uses all Plain Jane Bible verses from Verve. I saw this project at Susan Roberts gallery on Splitcoaststampers and went to her blog to get the details . I decided to make one for my mother as a Christmas present...in 2008. Yep, I just now finished it and I have the blog hop to thank. Using sketches would have made this a whole lot faster. LOL The two cards shown in the picture above use the latest Plain Jane release for Psalm 121:1-2 (hanging on box) and Hebrews 11:1 (in front of box). And I'll give the details below, but first here's a slide show of the whole year. Hebr...

Color Fragments are sprinkled over Deep Impressions Embossing Powder along with Shabby Blue Embossing Enamel and heat set from the back of the project. (That's just so the fragments don't soar off the page and to the floor.) Now for the Sc...
