Hello everyone and happy Tuesday! Today I have a fun project to share with all of you. I had found some ArtC nesting boxes in a local craft store, that I thought would be perfect for creating a halloween shadowbox! Using a 2 inch punch, I punched out 5 circles (5 in black, 5 in light orange and 5 in a darker orange) , folded each circle in half, and adhered each same colored circles end to end to create mini paper pumpkins. I love a subtle 3D effect,  and these are perfect for decor and party favors. For my larger box , I used one of the apes from the Classic Halloween Paper Pack to create a simple background. I loved the little trick or treaters found in the  halloween sticker pack , so I adhered then to some cardstock to make them extra sturdy and used them to add dimensions to my piece. I added a few glitter stickers I had in my stash, glued both boxes together and my decor piece is done! I hope this project inspires you to create something fun today! Happy crafting...

Hello everyone! Welcome  to another episode of my Halloween 2018 video series! Today I have a really fun project to share with all of you. While browsing Pinterest for halloween inspiration, I stumbled upon a really cool piece of altered home decor. Lota of people have taken their flamingo lawn ornaments and upcycled them, for use in Halloween decorations! I then wondered if other critters had been given the skeleton treatment, and to my surprise,  they have! Lots of fun images started to pop up and I had my idea. Today I created these fun Day of the Dead inspired memorydex cards,  using dies and items I had in my stash. For the full tutorial and all the details,  please visit my YouTube channel .

Hello everyone and Happy Friday! Today's card was inspired by this adorable stamp set from Newton's Nook, that has a fun play on the "April showers, bring May flowers" sentiment. I wanted to create a colorful background, so I used my cloud border stencil, and distress inks, to add a soft sunrising effect to my cover. I had in my stash a die set from Peachy Cheap that I acquired a while back, and it has this adorable person holding an umbrella and wearing rain boots. Using the same smooth white cardstock I used for my background, I cut the piece using my Spellbinders Platinum 6 Machine. Added a bit of color to my image my using the same distress inks as my background. I wanted to add a simple ground where my person could stand on , and I created the look of grass by using three different shades of green of my Copic markers. Using a flick motion along the bottom of my cover. I stamped my sentiment, and adhered my die cut, added some enamel accents and done! For th...

Hello everyone and Happy Wednesday! Today I wanted to share a quick and fun project using some Darice nesting dies I acquire through the Consumer Crafts website. Following the Memorydex Card craze , I wanted to be able to include them inside the pocket letter itself! I searched through my stash, and remembered I has these metal dies in my posession. I chose my favorite 6x6 papers from WRMK and Crate Paper and got to work. I chose two, do the three smallest dies to create the base for my Mini memorydex cards. To create the notch ,I used my Martha Stewart hole puncher. It just the right size for tiny projects like these. Once I had the base complete, it was time to embellish and add details. My favorite part. Working with a smaller space, I chose to go with a clean look and layering. I am so happy with how these cuties turned out, and I hope you will check out the full tutorial, available in my YouTube Channel Happy crafting, Eny Dunn
