GIU Day 2 : BOO! /card 2

 Hello and Happy Halloween!  I'm sharing another fun card using Unity Stamp Co stamps today.

Unity Stamp Co - Bottled Up Boos - sentiment
Distress Oxides - Hickory Smoke, Saltwater Taffy, Kitsch Flamingo
Impression Obsession- Deckled frame die

Halloween tags

 Hello and Happy Halloween!  I'm sharing some Halloween tags that I'm putting on my teens Halloween pails this year.  Since they no longer trick-or-treat I thought I would make them a little pumpkin pail of goodies.

I was having so much fun with this die set I created a few extras :-)  A little tip - you need to save the ghosts eyes and mouth and the pumpkin nose on the jack-o-lantern.  And as you can see the witch will need some bling for her eyes because they are gone... LOL

Supplies:
Tim Holtz - Retro Halloween dies
Tim Holtz - Tag collection
Tim Holtz - Alphanumeric Bold dies
Teresa Collins -patterned papers
pop dots
red bling/black bling -eyes

Thank for stopping by today.  And have a fun, safe Halloween!

Here for the Boos

 Hello there!  I was watching Tim's Halloween Hoopla livestream on Saturday and he showed a technique where instead of using sticky embossing powder to add Distress Glitter you can use Frosted Crystal.  So, I gave it a try with some supplies that I had.  It turned out pretty good.  It's hard to see the glitter but the bold BOO is actually glittered up.  I used Spiced Marmalade Oxide + Frosted Crystal + Distress Rock Candy Glitter.

Supplies:
Distress Oxide - Spiced Marmalade
Tim Holtz - Bold Frights stamps - BOO
Frosted Crystal
Distress Rock Candy
Tim Holtz - Halloween Doodles - stars stamps
Tim Holtz - Life of the Party stamps - sentiment strip
Ranger embossing ink + white embossing pwd
Tim Holtz - Stacked Deckle die
black glitter w/silver polka dot cardstock

Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a great day!
