Happy Halloween! Toil & Trouble Z Fold Shaving Cream Card
Happy Halloween! May you receive more treats than tricks! Here’s a treat – a technique mash-up card! The shaving cream is the background of the focal image (one of my favorite techniques of all time), and it is also a Z Fold card (well, upside down).
Plus, I colored my large gem with a sharpie!
There’s also a secret spook inside when you flip it open!


Washing on the Board (Chipboard, That Is)
I loved this project. I designed it for my stampers this month for our Wickedly Wild About Washi Tape Stamp Camp.
First off, we did the direct to paper (in this case, chipboard) technique with Wisteria Wonder. Then we embossed the image from the Toil & Trouble stamp set in black. Added some washi tape, punched a hole and put in ribbon, and added a little sparkly skull and crossbones at the bottom. A perfectly fun and simple 3D item to hang on a door, cabinet, or Halloween tree!
This image is a quote from a famous William Shakespeare play. I’ve got a stack of 10 pieces of rectangle chipboard that will be delivered to the first stamper who correctly names the play this quote is from. Please leave a comment below with your name and the play. (Comments are moderated, but are timed so I’ll know who is the first one.)


Wickedly Wild About Washi Tape-Skeleton Domino
This week I held my Wickedly Wild About Washi Tape Stamp Camp. OMG. I just love this stuff. It is so versatile and forgiving. Here is one of my favorite items we made this week:
It’s just a domino covered in our Witches’ Brew Washi Tape! I stamped on top of it with the skeleton from Toil & Trouble in Staz On ink. All you need to do is attach a pinback or a magnet – what a darling little item to share!


Toil & Trouble Skeleton Scored Card
At my Try the New Tools Night a few weeks ago, I demonstrated the Simply Scored Borders Plate. Yes, it has been out for a while, but I never got a chance to show it when it was “new”.
This was one of the cards my stampers created that night – the simple scoring added just the right touch. The embellishment on top of the phrase was actually a PEARL colored in with a sharpie.
