I’m excited to share my guest tutorial over at Ranger Ink today with a step-by-step Halloween themed mixed media canvas. I hope you will take a moment to stop by and take a look. There are lots of step-by-step tutorials from other guest artists in the Ranger Ink Project Library. I’ll be back on Wednesday with my first design team project for Frilly & Funkie.

To begin with, take an idea-ology configuration box 6.75″ x 8.75. I used the lid and the insert boxes and put the base box…

Hello Everyone. Autumn is definitely in the air so I was inspired to make a couple of cards to send to friends who love this season as much as I do. I used the pumpkin stamp from the Halloween Blueprints 2 set by Tim Holtz. I’ve said this before, but the blueprint stamps are made for colouring!

Today I have a quick and simple card which could easily be adapted to make Halloween party invitations, a canvas or other home decor piece. Take a base card and cover the edges with regions beyond tissue tape. Emboss core-dinations kraft…

I love using recycled packaging with distress products, which is what I did here to create this bird crazy birthday card. Cut a frame from recycled cardboard, cover with cracked pistachio…

So when I saw Tim Holtz’s fantastic tag this month I knew exactly what I was going to do… (Count Frightful made me do it)! 😉 With a Halloween theme…

I can’t quite believe I am writing this… A month ago I was asked to make some samples with the new seasonal products by Tim Holtz! As a bit of a “fangirl” you can imagine my reaction when my box of goodies arrived from the North Pole! So with dizzy excitement let me share my first sample with you. Using the really cool new Sizzix…

At the beginning of the month I made a July 4th wall hanging inspired by Tim’s July Tag. Since then Tim has announced his new Halloween products as well as some awesome accessory stamps and dies for those crazy birds we’ve all gone crazy over. It was all the excuse I needed… I have been so inspired by Richele Christensen’s awesome crazy bird cards, (complete…
