<span style="font-family: inherit;">And here we are - the last day in the </span><a href="http://www.smearedink.com/" style="font-family: inherit;" target="_blank">Smeared Ink</a><span style="font-family: inherit;"> 31 days of Halloween Blog Challenge 2015. We survived! Before I go off for an evening of magical mayhem, let me say for one last time that, if you've been working your way around the blogs in order, then you've reached here from </span><a href="http://www.sarahsfiberlife.blogspot.com/" style="font-family: inherit;">Sarah</a><span style="font-family: inherit;">’s blog. If you're hopelessly lost, then the blog roll is there on the right.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">This is my favourite project of the hop, so I saved it for last. </span><br />

</div>
<div style="line-height: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I used the into-the-frame die cutting technique to make it look as if the skeleton was staring in from of the apart. masked off the big </span>skellie with clear embossing powder, and the smaller one with a bit of post-it note. <span style="font-family: inherit;">The aperture is from a retired Stampin' Up! set and I was sad when they retired it, because it is such a beautiful shape. </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">This one is staying out after Halloween is over because I LOVE the way it turned out. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I hope you've enjoyed visiting me throughout the month. I have really, really enjoyed reading your comments and it's been lots of fun getting back into the darker side of crafting. So now, for the last time in this hop, might I trouble you to move along to </span><a href="http://ldfdesign.blogspot.com/" style="font-family: inherit;">Lisa F</a><span style="font-family: inherit;">’s blog .</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Here we are on the penultimate day of </span><a href="http://www.smearedink.com/" style="font-family: inherit;" target="_blank">Smeared Ink</a><span style="font-family: inherit;"> 31 days of Halloween Blog Challenge. If you've been a Horrifying Hopper and have been working your way round all the Wicked Blogs every day, I salute you - it's been a real marathon - but now the finishing line is in sight. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Hello everyone, and here we are at day 29 of the <a href="http://www.smearedink.com/" target="_blank">Smeared Ink</a> 31 days of Halloween Blog Challenge. With any luck, </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">you’ve arrived from </span><a href="http://www.sarahsfiberlife.blogspot.com/" style="font-family: inherit;">Sarah</a><span style="font-family: inherit;">’s blog - the blog roll is over there on the right if you want to see who else is playing.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> Today's tag is dedicated to a friend and colleague who is being plagued by spiders right now - so Dave F, this one is for you.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 16px;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9o_ktFD7M0vcPPvgkTIlrU5Ld-zh3ObWLRpttCcn4hfLkXlPMrxlWEi8v6_RTO1LnFd1NVQToxdZw9iPNtePp_Pew-sAg9aXDVHnzF4WkWGO2CmezFUsVwUmuT4x6rgQHdIaNvxcHeMA/s1600/Arachnophobia.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9o_ktFD7M0vcPPvgkTIlrU5Ld-zh3ObWLRpttCcn4hfLkXlPMrxlWEi8v6_RTO1LnFd1NVQToxdZw9iPNtePp_Pew-sAg9aXDVHnzF4WkWGO2CmezFUsVwUmuT4x6rgQHdIaNvxcHeMA/s640/Arachnophobia.jpg" width="414" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I rubbed Castaway ink over the back of a stencil and then pressed it onto the background. You never really know what you're going to get with Castaway. I think I used every spider stamp I own on this tag...and couldn't resist the spider web doilies. With a bit of careful cutting, I only used the one so I still have plenty left from the pack of 25.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />And now, might I trouble you to proceed to </span><a href="http://ldfdesign.blogspot.com/" style="font-family: inherit;">Lisa F</a><span style="font-family: inherit;">’s blog, and I will see you back here tomorrow.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Here we are on day 28 of the <a href="http://www.smearedink.com/" target="_blank">Smeared Ink</a> 31 days of Halloween Blog Challenge and THE day is nearly here! If you've been a Horrifying Hopper and working your way through all the blogs, then </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">you’ve arrived from </span><a href="http://www.sarahsfiberlife.blogspot.com/" style="font-family: inherit;">Sarah</a><span style="font-family: inherit;">’s blog - but the blog roll is over there on the right so you can find your way home if you've become blog-bewildered. </span></div>
<div style="line-height: 16px;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIAWuO0WihqeizJSnZMEHrI423T36my0wKhL9RjBD6u4LTVwZZdAelYFaUtXsaT8anDtL7It5z_rh-N6Sko29Ea2L9EsgMiUM0FJ347wNs0eJrTq3QvBllSoPTXEXxBFv0mD_HvxSa-Tg/s1600/Cat+card.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="502" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIAWuO0WihqeizJSnZMEHrI423T36my0wKhL9RjBD6u4LTVwZZdAelYFaUtXsaT8anDtL7It5z_rh-N6Sko29Ea2L9EsgMiUM0FJ347wNs0eJrTq3QvBllSoPTXEXxBFv0mD_HvxSa-Tg/s640/Cat+card.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">This card is so simple, I'm almost embarrassed. I die-cut the card with the largest of the Perfect Pennants dies (from Stamping' Up!), positioning the die so that I was just missing the folded edge. The eyes are a stamp from the Among the Branches stamp set - but they were too close together for my card. It's a photopolymer set so it was very easy to cut between them and move them further apart on the block. I used chalk ink to stamp, and then added in the whiskers with a chalk marker.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">After that all I had to do was stamp the sentiment (from an old Docrafts set) on a scrap of Tangelo Twist card and make a bow with the thick bakers' twine. Job done!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">So off you go now to </span><a href="http://ldfdesign.blogspot.com/" style="font-family: inherit;">Lisa F</a><span style="font-family: inherit;">’s blog, and I'll be back again tomorrow!</span><br />

A Jubbly came in a wrapper that was shaped like these treat bags, only bigger, and it was a lump of orange-flavoured ice.

<span style="font-family: inherit;">I got this
little wooden birdhouse in the Children’s Craft section of the Range (always
worth a look as prices tend to be a bit lower).
The stamping on this piece isn’t terribly clear in the picture – it’s
actually on the roof (from the Lighthearted Leaves set from Stampin’ Up!) <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 16px;">I've</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 16px;"> found this card under
a number of different names – shutter card, peekaboo card, but I first came across
it as a Magic Marquee card. I went to </span></span><span style="line-height: 16px;">town</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 16px;"> a bit and used stamps from three different sets on this card - "Spooky" on the front is from XXXX, the big spider and the sentiment are from Cheer All Year, </span></span><span style="line-height: 16px;">and </span><span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 16px;">the little spiders on the Tangelo Twist background are from A Little Something. I've also used Happy </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">Earlier this
year I made a tutorial on how to construct one of these cards - here it is - </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; line-height: 16px; text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/HMV0dm2H0y4/0.jpg" frameborder="0" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/HMV0dm2H0y4?feature=player_embedded" width="320"></iframe></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The measurements I used on this version of the card are a
bit different from those in the video. The card is 8 ½ by 5 ½ inches, scored at 2 1/8 inches from
either end to make a gatefold card. The finished card measures 4 ¼ by 5 ½.The
inner panel is 3 ¼ by 5 ½ and I used the 1 ¾ inch circle punch to cut the
aperture.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="line-height: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">I cut ½ inch off the end of
the die-cut banner framelits from Stampin’ Up! (it’s the 4<sup>th</sup> one
counting from smallest to largest) and then scored and folded at ½ inch from
the end.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Hello there, and thanks for joining in the <a href="http://www.smearedink.com/" target="_blank">Smeared Ink</a> 31 days of Halloween Blog Challenge. If you've been working your way around the blogs in order, then </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">you’ve arrived from </span><a href="http://www.sarahsfiberlife.blogspot.com/" style="font-family: inherit;">Sarah</a><span style="font-family: inherit;">’s blog. However, if you're a free spirit and like to do your own thing, the blog roll is over there on the right.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Today I've made an ATC</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">It's based on a small canvas board coloured with acrylics - I did the stamping on tissue paper and glued it on with Pledge Multi surface wax. Yes, the stuff you put on your floors.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The stamps are from De Stempelwinkel, and the I added some die-cuts. Simples!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">So that's today's project. On to <a href="http://ldfdesign.blogspot.com/">Lisa F</a>’s blog now, and I'll see you again tomorrow.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Hello bloggers, and welcome to my bit of the <a href="http://www.smearedink.com/" target="_blank">Smeared Ink</a> 31 days of Halloween Blog Challenge.

<span style="font-family: inherit;">It's a tag today. The phrase "The ghost in the Machine" has always fascinated me. so I decided to do my own interpretation.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 16px;">I used stamps from IndigoBlu and one of my ultra-useful Dovecraft alphabets along with </span></span><span style="line-height: 16px;">die-cut gears and ghosts cut from vellum.

If you're a Horrifying Hopper, it's likely that </span><span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 16px;">you’ve arrived from </span><a href="http://www.sarahsfiberlife.blogspot.com/" style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 16px;">Sarah</a><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 16px;">’s blog.

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">A quick project
today.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I made this
using the Gift Bag punch board. Mine is
the WMRK version – Stampin’ Up! have it in our catalogue now, but I’d already
bought mine . It’s a medium- sized bag
and the sentiment is from the “A little something” stamp set. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">This time of
year I stock up on “spooky” decorations. I use the skulls from small plastic
skeletons quite a bit. This leaves me
with a lot of left-over body parts, so I was happy to find a use for some of
them!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">So now, o</span><span style="font-family: inherit;">nward</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> to </span><a href="http://ldfdesign.blogspot.com/" style="font-family: inherit;">Lisa F</a><span style="font-family: inherit;">’s blog, and I'll be back tomorrow!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 16px;">Hello bloggers! We're well into the <a href="http://www.smearedink.com/" target="_blank">Smeared Ink</a> 31 days of Halloween Blog Challenge and if you're working your way around in order, </span><span style="line-height: 16px;">you've</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 16px;"> arrived from </span></span><a href="http://www.sarahsfiberlife.blogspot.com/" style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 16px;">Sarah</a><span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 16px;">’s blog. If you're lost, keep calm and get your bearings using the blog roll over there on the right.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 16px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 16px;">This treat bag
is made using Stampin’ Up! cotton paper in Cucumber Crush.</span><span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 16px;"> </span><span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 16px;">Cotton paper has </span><span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 16px;"> </span><span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 16px;">has been described as – well, weird.</span><span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 16px;"> </span><span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 16px;">It’s very smooth and lightweight and you’d think
it would be quite delicate and translucent.</span><span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 16px;">
</span><span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 16px;">In fact, it’s surprisingly robust.</span><span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 16px;"> </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">The bag is just big enough to hold a small treat - mmm...chocolate buttons....</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 16px;">I cut the bag using the SU mini treat bag die (but it </span></span><span style="line-height: 16px;">wouldn't</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 16px;"> be too hard to make something similar with a score board and a craft trimmer.) The eyes are punched circles of whisper white and basic black and I cut Frankie’s fringe (basic black again) with my fringe scissors. His eyelids are a punched circle of Cucumber Crush card cut into halves.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The treat holder inside is just a piece of Cucumber Crush card, cut with a Lots of Labels framelit (I do love this shape, it’s so elegant) and stamped with the “Boo” from the Cheer all Year set using – guess what ? – Cucumber Crush ink.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Apart from that. I just drew his features with a fine marker and he’s ready for Trick or Treating! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 16px;">Hello Horrifying Hoppers, and thank you for joining me on Day 18 of the </span></span><a href="http://www.smearedink.com/" style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 16px;" target="_blank">Smeared Ink</a><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 16px;"> 31 days of Halloween Blog Challenge. If you're doing as </span></span><span style="line-height: 16px;">expected</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 16px;">, then </span></span><span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 16px;">you’ve arrived from </span><a href="http://www.sarahsfiberlife.blogspot.com/" style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 16px;">Sarah</a><span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 16px;">’s blog - but the blog roll is on the right if you've lost your bearings.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 16px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 16px;">Today I'm showing this bauble.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 16px;">I started by painting the inside of one half of the bauble with blue and purple glass paints, then I die-cut the house (and the gravestones in front of it - not very visible in the picture, but they are there!) from black shrink plastic and stuck them into the bauble with Milliput - I threw some Flower Soft and black flock </span></span><span style="line-height: 16px;">powder</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 16px;"> over </span></span><span style="line-height: 16px;">it while it was setting. </span><br />
<span style="line-height: 16px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 16px;">I stamped "Happy Halloween" (I think it came from De Stempelwinkel) in white Staz-On ink onto a strip cut from a shrink wrap bag ( I got mine from Amazon, originally for wrapping soap - they were very inexpensive) </span></span><span style="line-height: 16px;">and</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 16px;"> then held it in place around the bauble while I heated it with a hairdryer. Finally I tied a length of </span></span><span style="line-height: 16px;">thick</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 16px;"> Bakers' Twine to the top so I could hang the bauble from the stand.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 16px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 16px;">So now, proceed, if you would, to </span></span><a href="http://ldfdesign.blogspot.com/" style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 16px;">Lisa F</a><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 16px;">’s blog to continue the hop and I'll be back tomorrow.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 16px;">It's another </span></span><span style="line-height: 16px;">incarnation</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 16px;"> of a card made from a sketch. This time I've softened the scheme a bit by using grey instead of black. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 16px;">Hello my lovely blog friends, and than you for joining me for Day15 of the <a href="http://www.smearedink.com/" target="_blank">Smeared Ink</a> 31 days of Halloween Blog Challenge. If you've been working you way around the blogs in </span><span style="line-height: 16px;">order, then </span><span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 16px;">you’ve arrived from </span><a href="http://www.sarahsfiberlife.blogspot.com/" style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 16px;">Sarah</a><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 16px;">’s blog. If you're a </span></span><span style="line-height: 16px;">billets</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 16px;">, fear not- you can get your bearings from the blog roll over there on the right.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 16px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 16px;">Today I'm showing you this tag -</span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 16px;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
I used stamps from Tim Holtz (bats) and Clarity (trees), a bit of Gorgeous Grunge from SU for the stars and a Lovecraft alphabet (excellent value at £1 for the set!). <br />
<br />
The witch, flying past the masked - out moon, is a Alterations die from several years ago and is one I get a lot of use from - and in this case, I cut it out of craft foam and then I shrunk it to fit on the tag. Yes, that's right, I used my heat gun to shrink it, just like shrink plastic. The reduction in size isn't as dramatic as with shrink plastic but it's enough to make witchy-poo just the right size!<br />

I do love my pop-ups and kinetic cards. Open this one, and inside - here's the skeleton in the closet!<br />

The skeleton - from a Tim Holtz stamp set - is suspended from some beading elastic threaded between the two sides of the card - isn't it fun?<br />

<span style="line-height: 16px; text-align: center;">It originally contained smoked almonds (mmm...almonds...) The lid was a good fit for the dome, which is half of a clear plastic bauble and covers the skully, which iIve antiqued with paint. The base of the tin features a graveyard courtesy of a Tim Holtz On The Edge die, some texture paste and paint, plus a paper moon with a stamped raven (another Timmy stamp) and stamped "stars" (SU's Gorgeous Grunge, as it happens). </span><br />

Today's little card is covered with some of the Happy Haunting DSP and features a pop-up insert - which is from the Tim Hotly Halloween set. Plenty of room to put a spooky message!<br />

<span style="line-height: 16px;">Confession time - I actually made the background of the tag for last year's challenge...and then I lost it and had to recreate it for the project I was doing at the time. I stamped and masked the skellies (from De Stempelwinkel) and spent ages going over them with DI's... I was not happy when it disappeared. Of course, it turned up at the beginning of November! I'm glad I got to use it at last .</span></div>
