13 Days of Halloween With Simply Betty Stamps

This is my post for the very last challenge with Simply Betty Stamps 13 Days of Halloween. The brief this time was to alter something.

I have used a Bisto tub and made it into a pencil/paintbrush/sweetie holder - whatever you fancy really!

I have used Annierexia and coloured her with Promarkers. The orange and black paper is from my stash and I've cut a spider web frame and spiders using the Cameo.

I've finished with some elastic lacey ribbon around top and bottom and some paper roses.

Simply Betty Stamps 13 Days of Halloween - Howling at the Mooon

Today's challenge for the 13 Days of Halloween with Simply Betty Stamps: Make it hairy, use fuzz, feathers, anything fuzzy on your projects! I have used the Big Bad Wolf Chris image and coloured him with Promarkers. The sentiment is the matching one that comes with the image.

I have used a kraft card base and added brown torn mulberry paper for the background - I thought that looked kinda furry! The DP is MME and the rosette and border punch are Martha Stewart. I have kept this quite simple as it's so late and I have to get to bed ready for Halloween!!!

13 Days of Halloween at Simply Betty Stamps - The Witching Hour

 If you are looking for 31 Days of Halloween Day #28 - Click HERE!!!

Today's Challenge at Simply Betty Stamps for the 13 Days of Halloween is 'The Witching Hour'. I have used 'Witchy Mrs Roberts' which I won earlier in the month and coloured her with Promarkers. My background papers are from Webster's Pages and the web stamp from Crafty Stampers. The spiders are cut from Silhouette store files on my Cameo. I've finished by adding a sentiment from Create with TLC.

Part of the challenge was to make the witch fly or pop off the project, so I cut a small strip of acetate and glued one end to the image and one to the card so she stands out from the project... she'll wiggle if you flick her!

Simply Betty Stamps 13 Days of Halloween 'Sexy and Scary' Challenge

For 31 Days of Halloween Day #24  CLICK HERE!

Today's challenge over at Simply Betty Stamps for the 13 Days of Halloween is to create a 'Sexy and Scary' Halloween themed card. I have invested in a new Betty stamp for this one - Zombie Birthday Betty - and I've used the version with no eyes and a frame. I've printed her twice, fussy cut her out of the frame and added her with glue dots for dimension. I've added a rolled rose cut from the Cameo to her hair rose and finished her with a handwritten sentiment. When colouring her I decided that Blondes have more fun... and in her case, they always will!! hahaha

I have used Purple DP from the Gorjuss range by DoCrafts. The web corner is Cheery Lynn and the ribbon is from my stash. This is another 7x7" card.

Today's challenge is to create a treat bag of sorts for Halloween. My treat bag started life as a brown lunch bag from a pack of ten at the Home Bargains shop! I have used the FrankenCutie Helen image and coloured her with Promarkers. I fussy cut her and mounted her on orange DP and black card.

Simply Betty Stamps 13 Days of Halloween Day #5 Mummy Loves You

For 31 Days of Halloween Day #14 - CLICK HERE!

Today is day #5 over at Simply Betty Stamps 13 Days of Halloween Celebration. I am determined to do all 13 days and so far so good! The theme today is Mummy Loves You and the brief is to use gauze or cotton wool in your project. The inspiration pieces are fabulous and I have a box full of gauze so that's what I went with. I have used the FrankenBetty image from last year and coloured in Promarkers then mounted her on black card.

I have wrapped my DP - from My Mind's Eye Haunted - with the gauze and frayed the edges. I pinned it together with an orange safety pin and attached it to a pre-made 6x6 card blank. The sentiment came with the image. The skull and bones borders were cut on the cameo and the spider rosette is from Martha Stewart.

Simply Betty Stamps 13 Days of Halloween Day #4 Boo Did I Scare You?

FOR 31DAYS OF HALLOWEEN DAY 13 CLICK HERE!

The 4th Halloween challenge over at Simply Betty Stamps Blog is called 'Boo Did I Scare You?' and the challenge is to make a 3d Pop-Up box Card type thing! Now, I have never made one of these before, so this was definitely a challenge!

I have used the SBS Image Annierexia and coloured her with Promarkers. I used a purple pearlescent card for the base and papers from Martha Stewart to cover the folded down panels and the back behind Annie.

I added a candlestick cut on the Cameo and sparkly 'Spooky' embellishment behind her.

The front panel has a sentiment from my stash, Martha Stewart skull rosette, orange ribbon and sparkly skull - I think the sparkly embellishments on this are from K&Co (but I could be wrong, so dont quote me!)

The left panel has a sparkly spider and some 3d stars and the right panel sparkly bats.

In front of Annie are more sparkly embellishments sticking up to frame her.

Hope you like my first attempt at this style of card!

For 31 DOH Day #9 Please click HERE!

Today I am joining in the 3rd challenge over at Simply Betty Stamps 13 Days of Halloween. This challenge is entitled 'Blood Curling' and asks us to get bloody in our creations! So I have done just that!

I have used Fired Brick Distress Stain on a craft mat and popped some white card into it to make a bloody background and then used my Martha Stewart Drippy Goo punch to create a top border for the Fat Page that I've made. I have used the SBS Image 'Belladonna', coloured with promarkers and given her an almost zombie look with green/grey skin and lots of red for the eyes and blood stained mouth. The sentiment is from Ginger's House and I've finished with some stickers from my stash.

Ok, so not content with 31 Days of Halloween at Smeared and Smudged, I remembered that Simply Betty Stamps have their Halloween extravaganza and I thought I might give it a go! 

The first challenge is to make a banner. I have used scalloped edged bunting from my stash and purple pearlescent card for mounting. The 3 SBS images I have used are coloured with Promarkers, fussy cut and mounted on black card. The two printed sentiments are from Create with TLC and the glittered 'Happy Halloween' from my stash.

I have used Annirexia in the center part - the die cut zombie hands are cut using my cameo.

This is FrankenCutie Helen. The spiderweb is a Memory Box die and the other dies were cut on the cameo.

And this final image is Rio Gone Batty from the Roberts Halloween Line. I have added a Memory Box flourish die and some Cameo cut bats.
