Creative Friday: Let's Get Spooky!

With Halloween only nine days away, let's create a fun home decor item for your house - haunted or not! MemoryWorks now has the Tim Holtz Seasonal Masks (TH018) and Tim Holtz Seasonal Salvage Stickers (TH016) in stock - just in time to make some fun holiday creations!



I created this fun door hanger using the "witch" mask from the Tim Holtz Seasonal Masks (TH018):

Supplies used:
  • We R MemoryKeepers Corner Chomper
  • Ink Blending Tool (RA012)
  • Tim Holtz Seasonal Salvage Stickers (TH-016)
  • Tim Holtz Seasons Mask (TH018)
  • Perfect Pearls Mist in Kiwi (RA049)
  • Distress Ink in Black Soot (RA011)
  • Stickles in Black Diamond (RA041) and Crystal (RA039)
  • Glossy Accents (RA043)
  • Non-stick Craft Mat (RA001)
  • Tattered Angels Heidi Swapp Crepe Paper Ribbon (Spring/Summer 2010 MW Catalog)
  • Tattered Angels Heidi Swapp Clear Stamp - Rockin' Renaissance set: "Book Print" stamp
  • Green polka dot ribbon
  • White tag
  • American Crafts Thickers, October Afternoon Mini Market Stickers in Black & Cream
  • Plain Chipboard (I used a thin scrap piece from 12x12 paper pad backing)
  • Circle Cutter (I used my Coluzzle, but the We R Memory Keepers Magnetic Circle Cutter (WR014) would work great!)
  • Art Knife WR017 (to cut chipboard to size)
Directions:
1.  Cut chipboard to desired size, use Corner Chomper to round corners. Cut circular hole for door knob in chipboard.

2.  Place witch mask (sticky side down) on chipboard, then use Ink Blending tool with Black Soot Distress Ink to ink around witch. Be sure to get ink in all the little spaces around the mask. Ink edges of chipboard piece. Stamp "Book Prink stamp" on white tag, ink edges.

3.  With project on non-stick craft mat, spray Perfect Pearls Mist in Kiwi (with witch mask still ink place) over project. Spray strips of crepe ribbon and white tag, as well. Let dry. Remove mask.

4. Add sticker letters for phrase. Add stickles and/or Glossy Accents to letters, as desired. Apply vintage witch sticker to white tag. Embellish with Crystal Stickles.


5. Accordian fold two strips of crepe ribbon, then adhere in a circle. Apply adhesive around door knob hole on chipboard piece, then adhere the crepe ribbon circle to the project. Add white tag with green polka-dot ribbon, tied in a knot.


Happy Crafting!
