Happy Halloween Tag!

Hi everyone and Happy Halloween to you! It's yummy eat candy day! 😁 To celebrate with you today, I made this cute giant size tag with Cheery Lynn Designs dies, papers from Graphic 45's Hallowe'en in Wonderland Collection, Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Inks and Prima Color Bloom Mist.

The tag I used is a Tim Holtz medium size Etcetera tag. I love these giant 6.5" x 12" tags! To do the background, I first painted the tag with clear gesso and then I rubbed on different colors of Oxide Inks. Misting the inks with water allows the colors to blend together with a natural appearance. Then to simulate moon glow, I used Prima Color Bloom mist in Empress Gold.

On the left, near the bottom, I used the Spiderweb Die and a cat from the Witch's Brew 8 Piece Die Set.

Down in the corner we have a creepy black widow spider crawling about her web cut with Halloween Set #3. I layered some cheesecloth underneath that I dyed with black ink.

The sentiment and the bats were cut with the Happy Halloween 4 Piece Die Set. I cut two sentiments and offset one over top the other to make it really stand out.

This cute but frightful witch is part of the Witch's Brew 8 Piece Die Set. I love how she looks silhouetted against the moon. Of course I had to add a couple flowers because that is what I do! At the top I added two black Large Roses misted with gold.

Happy Halloween by Debbie Brownmiller

Debbie's Time Out 3:30 AM 1 Comments

A warm hello to you. It's Debbie back with you from Debbie's Time Out. I am into Halloween for the next two weeks so be sure to check back next week to take a peek at the Halloween layout I created. It's pretty cool. I thought I would get an early start to inspire you and give you time to get some Halloween projects created for yourself.

The dies I have featured on this card were released not long ago. Next week I will used more Halloween dies from that release. It is always nice to get new Halloween dies released each year.

For this card I have used the Halloween Candy Card Maker Frame . It is a really cool frame with pumpkin suckers and assorted candies. I double layered the pumpkin suckers for added dimension. The coloring was done using Copic markers. I wanted to create a fun and bright card for the little ones.

Here is a close up of the frame.

The Happy Halloween is part of the die set Happy Halloween. The cat is from the Witch's Brew set. I thought the Happy Halloween would look good in alternate colors and I like how it turned out. Don't forget to check out all the other awesome new Halloween dies that were released not long ago. There is quite a variety to choose from.

I invite you to come join our bi-weekly challenge for your chance to win $20.00 in dies. You can enter @ http://cheerylynndesigns.blogspot.ca/search/label/challenge. You could also be one of our top three picks.

Halloween Tag with Maggi Harding, September Guest Designer

Maggi 3:30 AM 3 Comments

Hi there Cheery Lynn fans, Maggi back again for my last post. :-( I am so sad!

Creatively speaking, I'd have to say that Halloween is my favorite time of the year. Although I don't really decorate for Halloween, I do love making Halloween themed items, especially tags! I used lots of Cheery Lynn dies on this tag that I made from Graphic 45's Steampunk Spells.

I started out with a blank black tag and first adhered a cut from the largest of the Horizon Coved Rectangle stacker set.

These flowers and leaves are cut from black cardstock using the Floral Bouquet Kit and Flourish # 14. After assembling them, I misted with Lindy's Starburst Mist Golden Lump O'Coal and that gave them that fun gold gilded look.

For these flowers, I used the Floral Bouquet Kit, Black Eyed Susan, and Flourish # 14 dies.

Of course, you have to have a frightful black cat and a spider, both from new fall releases.

Love the Happy Halloween banner. I think it's on all my Halloween designs this year! Top it all off with a funky bow and you've got a fun tag!

B777 - Floral Bouquet Kit 8 piece die set

CAFLRS14 - Flourish # 14 2 piece die set

B338 - Black Eyed Susan Strip 5 piece die set

I am sad that this is my last post with Cheery Lynn. Thank you so much for having me as your guest designer this month. I really can't say enough good things about these dies. The cuts are always crisp and clean and literally fall out of the dies. No more poking through tiny holes that my old eyes have a hard time seeing!
