The Legend of Sleepy Hollow

Whoa - this is so amazing!  Are you ready for me to blow your socks off?  Shari made a paper mache box decorated with Amuse Studio Products!  

Check out the inside of this box/book - the details are incredible!  

Left side of the book with the perfect words from the Sleepy Hollow card stock!  

Right side - I love the tombstones and check out the orange eyes on the pumpkin that the headless horseman is holding - so scary!  

Shari even used patterned paper & stamps to decorate the page part of the book.  

and the back cover - THE END!  

Thank you Shari for another year of great projects.  You are one creative soul!

Creepin' It Real People

It is an exciting day in my mailbox when I get a package from Shari.  This year was no exception!  Look at the cute projects using the Amuse Studio Creep It Real stamp set.  A darling witch card and a wine bottle decoration.  

Shari's creativity is at work once again!  

I'm here for the Boos/Booze - a wine bottle decoration which/witch is perfect to take to your Halloween party!

She used a spider web stamp to create the pattern on the witch's skirt.  She's a clever one!  

Wonderful Windows

Marisa Alvarez, fellow Amuse Studio Creative Consultant created this awesome card.  There are so many things about it that I love about it.  First I love the color combination, the watercolor brushed background, the dimensional window box and the basket of flowers hanging from the brad.  

JOY Banner!

Thank you Laura for the adorable JOY Banner that you made for me!  I have it hanging in my stamp room and it makes me smile!

Score Margarita cardstock at 3 ½" to make a 4-bar size card base.  Apply Margarita ink to part of the Haunted Mansion background stamp.  Stamp in the lower right corner of the Sugar layer.  

Die cut the cat shape using the Nine Lives die set out of a small piece of Pebble and Onyx card stock.  Cut one Lime sequin in half and adhere to Onyx cat shape as eyes.

Stamp sentiment in Onyx Versafine ink on the Sugar layer.  Adhere Pebble cat shape to the Sugar layer to the right of the stamped sentiment.  Using 3D foam adhesive, adhere the Onyx cat on Pebble cat shape, slightly off-center to create a drop-shadow effect.  Adhere the Sugar layer to Onyx layer.  Tie and knot the Onyx organdy ribbon around card layers.  Adhere layers to Margarita card base.  

Hello Easter!

I started with the background paper for this card.  I was determined to use some of my Splash ink.  First I sponged Melon and Watermelon inks on a piece of Sugar card stock.  Then I sprayed Golddust Splash directly on my Haunted Mansion Background stamp and then stamped it over the blended inks.  It is sort of hard to see in the picture but it adds a subtle glimmer to the background.

Crystal Light Containers

I have been saving these Crystal Light containers and wondering what I could do with them.  Well the drawer where I store them is completely full so it was time to put them to use!

I decided a Halloween theme was in order!  I used all Amuse Studio products to decorate the empty Crystal Light Containers.  Candy Corn was on my mind so I used Sugar, Papaya & Orange card stock.
