31 Days of Halloween - Day 31

And we've done it!  The last day of the Smeared and Smudged Blog hop, and Halloween - Samhain for me.  If you've been a Wicked Blogger or a Horrifying Hopper and have made it all the way through,  I would say you definitely deserve your badge of honour!

If you’re following the blog hop in order, you’ve arrived here from Teresa’s blog.    If you’ve arrived from elsewhere and you’d like to work your way through all the participating blogs, the blog roll is in the sidebar – just start at the beginning or wherever suits you best.

For the first time I've posted a project a day every day for a month and now I'm going to have a nice lie  down for a bit.  Before I do, here's my contribution for the hop.


I've always been fascinated by the word casket (I'm from the U.K. - it doesn't have quite the same meaning as it does in the U.S.A! )  It was the bit in Snow White where the wicked queen tells the huntsman to kill Snow White and bring back her heart in a casket...Anyway, this is definitely a casket.  As you can see,  I had lots of fun with the crackle and distressing because I wanted it to look like it had been dug up.

The gold wreath on the top of the box (sorry, casket) is a freebie from Craft Stamper magazine a couple of issues ago.  It's on tissue paper that I've adhered to the lid with my favourite clear floor polish.  One day someone is going to catch on to the fact that Pledge Multi-Surface wax(formerly known as Klear) is a very useful crafting product and start selling it in teeny tiny bottles and charge us lots of pennies for it...so grab it now, I say!  I brushed it all over the box and the skull cameo (the skull is moulded from white polymer clay and antiqued with paint, then stuck onto a bit of black polymer clay baked separately).

Hope you enjoyed your visits throughout the hop.  Don't forget that Scavenger Items are hidden randomly on the Wicked Blogs, and are not guaranteed to be available every day. You will have to visit blogs to find them - today's your last chance!   If you find one, you will email and let us know exactly where it was and your name will go into that scavenger item's drawing. Each person who finds the "hidden" picture will get one entry. The drawing for each scavenger prize will be the day after it was posted and winners will be chosen by random number based on who emailed. Thank you for visiting. and for all your lovely comments;  special thanks to those of you who  follow my blog ( I cherish each and every one of you, I really do.) 

Now, if you’re working your way through the roll, it’s on to Renee for the last time. Bye now -and hope to see you soon!

31 Days of Halloween - Day 30

Hello folks, and it’s day 30  of the Smeared and Smudged 31 days of Halloween Blog Hop.  All you have to do to take part is to hop through each of the Wicked Blogs that are participating and leave a comment on each project.  All Horrifying Hoppers will receive a Survival Button at the end of the month to proudly post on their blog.


If you’re following the blog hop in order, you’ve arrived here from Teresa’s blog.    If you’ve arrived from elsewhere and you’d like to work your way through all the participating blogs, the blog roll is in the sidebar – just start at the beginning or wherever suits you best.

Here's today's offering -

These little pop-up box cards are very popular at the moment.   I've covered the sides of the box with paper from Graphic 45's Steampunk Spells (my favourite collection - I bought three sets, one to use, one to cherish, and one just in case) The black cat is a Movers & Shapers die covered with black Distress glitter, the moon was painted yellow and covered with clear Distress glitter (I don't have any yellow) and the ghosts are cut out of white parchment.

Everything is stuck onto acetate (packaging material) using double-sided adhesive sheet.  I'd've used my Xyron if I'd remembered where I left it.  The spooky trees that you can just see in the background are the Clarity split tree (I get a lot of use out of that stamp) and the Happy Halloween is a very old All Night Media sentiment (coloured orange with alcohol markers as I didn't have any orange embossing powder).

Hope you are enjoying the hop.  Don't forget that Scavenger Items will be hidden randomly on the Wicked Blogs, and are not guaranteed to be available every day. You will have to visit blogs to find them. If you find one, you will email and let us know exactly where it was and your name will go into that scavenger item's drawing.

31 Days of Halloween - Day 29

Hello folks, and it’s day 29 of the Smeared and Smudged 31 days of Halloween Blog Hop.  All you have to do to take part is to hop through each of the Wicked Blogs that are participating and leave a comment on each project.  All Horrifying Hoppers will receive a Survival Button at the end of the month to proudly post on their blog.

If you’re following the blog hop in order, you’ve arrived here from Teresa’s blog.    If you’ve arrived from elsewhere and you’d like to work your way through all the participating blogs, the blog roll is in the sidebar – just start at the beginning or wherever suits you best.

For once - an ordinary, plain card that doesn't do anything.  (It had to happen sooner or later!)  This one is assembled from pits and pieces that were made for other projects but weren't used.  The Docrafts Daisy & Dandelion cat is ready for Trick or Treating disguised as a skeleton this time.  The bats and pumpkins are part of the same set.

You've probably spotted that the background paper is more of the G45 Eerie Tale collection.   If you look very carefully you can see that the main part is two smaller bits joined together.  (I call it being thrifty!)  Way back at the beginning of the blog hop I made a card with the Rickety House die cut where I'd filled in the windows with the shapes from a second one?  This is the rest of it, painted black, and with a bit of leftover orange card behind it.  Actually, a couple of bits - you can't see the joins because I have hidden them at the back...cunning, eh?

Hope you are enjoying the hop.  Don't forget that Scavenger Items will be hidden randomly on the Wicked Blogs, and are not guaranteed to be available every day.

31 Days of Halloween - Day 28

Hello folks, and it’s day 28 of the Smeared and Smudged 31 days of Halloween Blog Hop.  All you have to do to take part is to hop through each of the Wicked Blogs that are participating and leave a comment on each project.  All Horrifying Hoppers will receive a Survival Button at the end of the month to proudly post on their blog.

Not long left now.  You might have spotted this lurking in the corner of yesterday's post.

I've been resisting getting the Alterations Luminary die for ages.  You know when you see all the cool stuff that they show at CHA and you draw up your wish list?  Well, this was at the top of my wish list.  By the time it was on sale, though, I'd persuaded myself that I didn't NEED it..what would I use it for...and it's a big one so it's a lot of cash...I almost bought it a few times and talked myself out of it...and then I finally gave in when I found it on offer somewhere. 

You can just make out the stamping on this one (it is there, I promise).  It's my favourite De Stempelwinkel skull again, stamped onto tracing paper (yes, the thin stuff you used for, well, tracing) with clear embossing ink and embossed with clear detail embossing powder.  The luminary I covered with Viva Decor Rust paint.  I'm always looking for ways of making paper look like something else - I collect techniques, if truth be told! - and this stuff didn't look very promising in the pot.   I'm glad I overcame my prejudice, because it works really well, especially with a light touch of Pinflair glitter paste in rust and aqua colours (they came with the paint in a set I got from Create & Craft) here and there - I just rubbed it on with my fingers.

A battery taillight inside and it looks very impressive - well, I think so.

31 Days of Halloween - Day 27

Hello folks, and it’s day 27 of the Smeared and Smudged 31 days of Halloween Blog Hop.  All you have to do to take part is to hop through each of the Wicked Blogs that are participating and leave a comment on each project.  All Horrifying Hoppers will receive a Survival Button at the end of the month to proudly post on their blog.

Today's offering is a tag, using the fallen angel stamp from De Stempelwinkel .

This time I've surrounded her with flames from Sheena's  A Little Bit Magical - From the Ashes  set.  I stamped the flames in front first and masked them before I stamped the angel, masked her, and then stamped the rest of the flames.  Then I got on with  colouring the background of the tag with Distress inks.  It's really helpful that they now make Post-It notes that are sticky all over except for a little bit at the edge (or of opposite to the usual ones) - it's much easier to keep the mask in place!  Finally I got busy with the colouring pens.  (I accidentally used Archival ink to stamp the image (schoolgirl error) so couldn't use alcohol markers and had to resort to the water-based felt-tips)

Last of all I added the messages from a collage sheet I got from Etsy.

Being the organised sort of person I am (koff koff) I've been working on the projects for the hop since it was announced in August.  Just as well as I am still starry-eyed from the visit to the Harry Potter studios and now want to make all sorts of Potter-inspired stuff...

Here's a couple of pictures -

Anyway, back to normality...or what passes for it in my little world...

If you're hoping for an update about the Harry Potter studios, I am recovering from yesterday's excursion and all I will say for now is that it is AMAZING and if you have a chance to go don't hesitate, just get there.  I want to watch all the films again!  

Can you believe that Halloween is on Friday - where does the time go to?   Earlier this year I was lucky enough to get to a workshop with the wonderful Hels Sheridan, who does wonderful stuff with Melt Pots and beeswax and tissues and stuff, and this canvas is based on what I learned.  (There's good stuff on YouTube by Suze Weinberg if you're interested in the technique.  I've used stamps from De Stempelwinkel again and the flowers and bat are moulded - the flowers are air-dry clay painted black and the bat is polymer clay.   Because the polymer clay is quite thin in places, I left the bat in the mould when I baked it- the silicon is quite happy in the oven. 

 I had a bit of black card that I'd die cut with an On The Edge die that looked as if it belonged on the canvas, so I added that as well.

I made the little spider dangler with a charm I got from Ebay.

Today I've used one of the stamps from the Daisy & Dandelion range from Docrafts.  Today the little cat is dressed up as a vampire (he vants to suck your blood, bwa-hah-hah!)

It's an action card again.  Can you tell I've been having lots of fun with all the kinetics?

You can even make him stand on his head!

This is a very easy one to do - it's a variation of a penny slider card.  I punched a hole just a little bit bigger than a penny in the batty paper (G45's Eerie Tale again - left over from another project) and put a penny behind it, stuck a 3d foam circle to the middle of the penny and then stuck another penny to that, so that there's a penny on both sides of the paper.  Then I stuck the kitty onto the penny.
The bigger the hole you punch (or the smaller the foam pad) the greater the range of movement.  I wanted quite a limited range so I punched a small hole - about 3/4 of an inch.

For the mechanism to work properly, I used foam pads to stick it to the background card - Eerie Tale again.   Anyway, I'm off, because today's the day I'm going to visit the Harry Potter studios and I am Very Excited.  See you tomorrow!

Today's card is  made with one of Karen Burniston's  pivot accordion dies for Elizabeth Crafts, papers from Graphic 45, and the spider stamp from Tim Holtz's Mini Halloween set.  It's the same shape as the Alterations spiders - which look really good covered in black Distress Glitter.

I cut the web from double-sided adhesive using my Cameo and sprinkled clear Distress glitter onto it.

Karen has a really good YouTube tutorial showing how to put the card together if you want to see how it's assembled.

A nice simple tag today, with stamps from De Stempelwinkel (the fallen angel) and Visible Image (the tattered fishnet)

I water-bleached the fallen angel, but that was about the only technique I used for this one.  The black cog is just because I can.

Today's card features Broomstick Bella from the Stamping Chef.  I've coloured her digitally and printed three copies so I could decoupage the image.  The background was created digitally as well .

This is a pull-the-tab mechanism -

While I was printing out the image, I printed out an extra strip of card in the same colour as the background  about 1cm (half an inch) wide, across the width of the sheet.  I cut it out and then cut a piece 6 cm (3 inches) long.

I scored it at 1cm (1/2 inch), 2 cm (1 inch) 4 cm (2 inches) and 5 cm (2 1/2 inches)

Then I folded it up so it looked like this - 

I cut a slit in the card and threaded the folded piece though it so that the "legs" were at the back ( a bit like the legs of a brad)

Then I made the "pull" strip by sticking the rest of the coloured strip onto another strip of card (for strength) and glued one end onto the folded card.  (I also glued some narrow strips of card over the pull strip to stop it wiggling about).  This diagram shows what I mean, I hope -

I glued the decoupaged Bella to the other side of the folded piece and then cut the pull strip to size before stamping the message onto the bit that sticks out when the card was pulled.

I stuck the topper to the card with foam pads so that there was room for the mechanism to work.

Back to the action cards today (there seems to be a theme developing here!)  This one's a pocket pop-up, based on a BCE template.  I like this style of card a lot and when I saw Sheena's A Little Bit Magical Phantom Ship  stamps I thought they'd be just right for what I had in mind.

Pull the tab at the bottom

I wanted a very eerie, ghost-ship effect for this one.  I stamped the ship once on paper with London Fog Memento ink and once onto acetate (packaging material again) in Stone Grey Staz-On.  Then from the paper copy I cut out the parts of the ship that I wanted to be opaque (the hull, sails and so on) and stuck them carefully on top of the acetate. 

Looks nice and ghostly, don't you think?

After all the action cards of the past few days, today it's just a simple tag - 

The skellies are from De Stampelwinkel.  After I stamped them onto the white rage I went over them with a Versamark pen and then covered them with clear embossing powder to create a resist.  Then I got busy with the Distress inks and the background stamps (and my faithful Artistic Stamper swirl stamp).  The letters were cut with the Spooktacular alphabet die from Sizzix.

Here's today's card, which is held closed with a simple wrap.

Remove the band to reveal the window (the stamp is from a set by Kanban).

Open the flaps and...

...reveal the magic (and more stamping, - stamps from Kanban and The Artistic Stamper).  The picture is from G45's Steampunk Spells collection - my very favourite ever.  I have one set to use, one to cherish, and another just in case. You can get an idea of the way it works here.



I learned how to make this kind of card from this YouTube video.

This altered MDF shape was originally a project that went wrong.  I'd covered it in Kroma crackle medium, coloured it with Dylusions and made the flowers out of cold porcelain.  The intention was to stamp a sentiment onto tissue paper, which would also help to stabilise the crackle (which will continue crackle and eventually fall off if you don't seal it)  The only problem was that the sentiment didn't really show up enough, so I put it away and came across it again recently.  While rummaging through my bits box I found the die-cuts that I'd made for another project but never used.  I'd stamped out a few images from a set by De Stempelwinkel onto tissue to use during the blog hop.  I started playing with the pieces and this was the result.  I love it when I can use something that originally went wrong, don't you?

I'm entering this in The Mirror Crack'd blog challenge.
