Halloween Candy Huggers with Kathy

Hi Everyone!  It’s Kathy today with some ADORABLE Halloween themed Candy Huggers!  I just love these cute little critters!  It’s such a fun favor for a party, whether the kids are little or big!  Take a peek…

These huggers are the perfect size to hold a fun sized candy bar or something smaller such as a chocolate Kiss or Rolo.  They go together so quickly too! I just used an extra strong glue dot to hold the candy in place in the arms.  Here are some close-ups…

Glitter Stencil Tutorial with Courtney

Hi everyone! This is Courtney Lee from Court’s Crafts here with one of Lori’s new Pop Dot Snow Globe cards! Aren’t they gorgeous!?!

Adding Glitter to Spice Up Your Cards

My tutorial today is really about adding glitter! For this one you need to mask out a certain area so when you finish cutting out your cut file, hold onto this red circle that cut out of the outer circle. It is going to act as our mask.

Now the trick to getting a gorgeous result from a stencil is to tape it down really well (just like painting!). I taped the red circle to the card (barely) as I knew it was going to be covered up by the thin red circle afterwards. Does that make sense? So I knew I had about 1/4 inch of room to tape the red circle to the white base. I also taped the whole thing to a scrap piece of paper and the table so that it wouldn’t move on me.

This is what it looked like after I used the opaque embossing paste and a spatula.

Eek! Pulling off everything is always the most stressful part. It’s so hard not to get your fingers in any of it.

While the embossing paste is still wet, add the glitter and let it dry.. or, if you are daring, grab it by that “snow” part that was masked off and shake the excess off.. I did it and narrowly survived! haha.

My background glitter wasn’t enough glitter for me and I also wanted a chunkier glitter look than using glitter paper – my sticker maker to the rescue!

I covered the snowflakes in this slightly golden silver glitter. It looks more gold in this pic for some reason but it’s not that gold.

 Now just use pop dots to put this beauty together and get ready to impress someone!!!!

Isn’t it gorgeous!!!???!! It is even prettier in person. It super glistens. I used Lori Whitlock’s I Love Winter Collection for Echo Park for this whole card. The solid cardstock is Carta Bella’s and all the patterned papers came from the 6×6 paper pad for I Love Winter. The stencil is also from that collection as well as the sentiment. Enjoy! One more Christmas card done for me! 🙂

Digital Inspiration with Tya

Hi there – It’s Tya and I have a Digital Layout to share with you today. I just wanted to share with you a quick tip – I loved using the 3×4 Journaling Spots found in Lori’s new I Love Family collection as page elements. Many of the spots have darling icons as well as spaces for journaling.

 As you can see in my layout I used 4 different journaling spots and then one photo. This layout came together rather quickly when using this technique. I love adding little bits and pieces of embellishments to the cards to dress them up.
