Boo Blocks

 I made a few of these for the family and sold a few as well.  Another quick fun craft for the holiday.   The wooden blocks are from Amazon.  I painted them black with Apple Barrel black acrylic.  I then cut a few frames from my new die from Sizzix Thinlits Leafy Twigs in a couple of different shades … this one is a grey brown textured paper.  Now mind you, when I first used this die I thought it was a one and done.  It was a bear to weed.  I mean it is so intricate and detailed.  But !!!! I think I've used it on several projects now and it quickly became a favorite.   I situated the die cuts on three sides of the block (on some I did 5 sides) and used mod podge to adhere it.   I use my cricut to cut the BOO out of silver cricut vinyl for the one side using the Chiller font.  I grabbed my hubbies drill and went through the sides and then added yarn through.  I separated the blocks with wooden beads that I painted orange acrylic paint and dotted with black and then covered with mod podge to seal it.   I frayed the ends of the yarn for a fun look.

Super easy ... super fun.  

Just drying time to take into consideration.

Halloween Pic Frame

 

This is a bit of a craft that I threw together for the holiday.  Its a picture frame that I can put my Grandbabies pic in costume.  The picture frame itself is from Michaels and it was like $1 if that.  I painted it black with Apple Barrel black.  From there is was a free for all.  I have a couple of pages of patterned paper from Jim Holtz Abandoned pad.   Then I broke out the Sizzix dies.  I used all of Thinlits Mixed Media  and a couple of insects from Thinlits Funky Insects.  I  have a few pieces - snippets from Jim Holtz Idea-Ology for Halloween.  I used crackle paste with Black Soot and Wilted Violet distress ink added   There is some texture paste as well.  There's Neuvo drops in various colors and a paper flower.  All held together with lots of Mod Podge.  Super fun and on my shelf waiting to be filled.

Happy Halloween Y'all ... my favorite holiday.

We are doing a double dare for this challenge round with  DOUBLE TROUBLE

For my card, I am using both distress and oxide inks in Spiced Marmalade, Peeled Paint, Fossilized Amber, Candied Apple, Walnut Stain.  I used Stampers Anonymous 'Bold Frights' with Spiced Marmalade on black cs with clear emboss over which makes it very glassy. I used Simon Says Stamp 'Ornate Leaves' with the different distress inks listed and clear embossing powder as well.  The die cuts are all Sizzix thinlits 'Frightful Things'.   All on a black cs base. 

I hope you have fun playing along with the two challenges.
