Warning: Not for the faint of heart!

My last Halloween post - this year. Going out with a bang or maybe a kill….so to speak!

Ever since the Spring when SVG Attic released the Make a Splash kit, I knew what I wanted to do with the 3D Bath Tub.

Knowing my evil, crooked mind, you would too….MUAHAHAHAHA

Halloween of course - but what does a bath tub have to do with Halloween?

Setting the scene: A woman is taking a long hot bath in the tub/shower and is not seeing the figure coming into the room with a knife in the hand - Next thing….she is being stabbed to death and blood spills all over the tub and shower curtain.

Recognize this scene???? 

Yes it's the famous shower scene from the movie Psycho - only a little more graphic since it's in color.

I really had fun making this and it did take me a while as I had to figure out how to make the shower curtain.

Using my scout-day skills (LOL) I tied some hibachi skewers onto a metal ring and covered it all with black flourist tape.

Then I added the curtain which is made from vellum and folded here and there to give the impression of a hanging curtain.

The Tub is made from AC Cardstock in Ash and with patterned paper from DCWV's Spooky and Sparkly collection. I also used Silhouette Printable Silver Foil for the faucets. I created the top shower head myself out of the bottom faucet and some circles I stacked together.

I then painted the inside of the tub to make it all white and a tiny bit shiny. Once that was dry, I went to town with the blood splatter - using a brush and some red paint. The bloody handprint on the curtain is made from red vinyl.

The shower mat and the knife are both from the Silhouette Design Store (Knife: Design ID #116580 by Studio Ilustrado and Mat: Design ID #1565 by Silhouette)

I know this isn't for the faint of heart, but it was so much fun for me to make and to able to actually create an idea that just pops into my head, is fantastic.

I do hope you've enjoyed this bloody project and all the other Halloween projects I've made throughout the month. Thank you so much for joining me and my vivid imagination.

Now it's time to turn my attention towards something else.

Haunted Funeral Coach

Hello, Happy Sunday and welcome back - so glad you're joining me today.

The month of Halloween is almost at an end - Halloween is this Wednesday :-O Not much time to get those last projects done for the big day!

I just had to make this totally awesome Coffin 3D Coach Model that Jodi made. It's out of this world fantastic!

It's made from AC Cardstock in Charcoal, Plum, Caramel and Black.

I used the Rig O Mortise Funerals Vinyl Sign on both side windows. I cut them in frosted vinyl and transferred them onto the acetate with some tape.

All edges are inked with Distress ink in matching colors.

I also made the Coffin 3D Box but I played a bit with it.

I cut the "RIP" into both the box and the panel and backed it with acetate. I also cut small holes along the sides of the coffin, so light from a small LED light can shine through - giving it a spooky look.

The coffin is made from AC Cardstock in Chestnut along with patterned paper from Simple Stories.

I used most of a weekend to find the Coachman/Undertaker. I simply couldn't find a sitting skeleton anywhere. So I made him myself by breaking his legs at the hip and knees and glued them on again with hot glue - rather morbid.

The coffin fits perfectly inside the Coach and looks very spooky at night with the green light oozing out of the holes.

It would also be awesome as a table centerpiece for your Halloween party - filled with treats and the coffin is also perfect for yucky Halloween candies.

I hope you've enjoyed the Coach - please let me know in a comment below and please join me again one last time before the BIG day!

Ghostly Candle Sticks

Hello - yes it's me again.

Just popping in to show you these awesome new Candle Sticks/Candle Stands 3D for Display that just recently released in the SVG Attic store.

I made all three sizes and they are very easy to make. Only took me an afternoon to make these and just look how cool they came out:

They are all made with just Black AC Cardstock and inked with Ingvild Bolme White Chalk Ink.

I decorated them with some bows made from Ideaology's Mummy Cloth and added some acrylic balls in which I added some spooky images made from Printable Acetate.

A tribute to my all time favorite series - Supernatural:

A spooky Skull:

...and a spooky eyeball:

I got the idea for the balls from a craft video I saw on Facebook and thought that they would work wonderfully on the displays.

Thank you for joining me for my little blog post today - I'll soon return with more spookiness.

Last Minute Treats

Halloween is in one week from today. Tracy here from the Idea Closet.  If you  feel like you are running out of time, and still need  treats for your special ghosts (and who doesn't) I have some simple yet cute last minute ideas for you using files from SVG Attic.

This pouch is so easy to do, and when you let cute paper do the work its quick too.

The file is the Bath Salt Envelope from the Make a Splash Kit.

I used the 4x6 journal card for the front and added a tag from the sticker collection.  

The paper is from Doodlebug.

Another fun and simple treat box is the Jack-o-Lantern Box Set.

There are several different face options, allowing for individual boxes for your friends.

Its easy to change the size on the box as well.  To make it larger I set the setting at 125% in the silhouette software or you can just resize it in your software.

I hope you all have a fun and safe Halloween!

Batty Treat Holder with Beth

Hello everyone!  Beth from Beth's Beauties here with you today.  I created this fun Halloween treat holder to share with you. 

The file I used to create it is the Bat Handle Candy Bar Tote.  It is quite simple to assemble, but if you get stuck, Jodi has a great tutorial for it HERE.  The paper I used to create it are from DCWV's Spooky Halloween stack.

This holds 6 fun or mini sized candy bars, three in front and three in back.  As you can see, I did a mixture of those sizes.  I embellished with Lime Licorice Trendy Twine and GMD Citrus Twist enamel dots.  Now this is ready to give to someone special for Halloween!

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

A Little of This and That

Hello all. Sonja with Sugar Bean Cards here with my latest SVG Attic project!

I wanted to make a witches cauldron using the Pot of Gold file. But what was I going to put in it? I could've done some feet, legs, arms, bubbles, and then I remembered the 3D Skull file.

I decided for my color pallet to play off of my last post: Knock, Knock, Knocking.

I dry brushed some brown, gray, and green ink onto the skull before assembly to give it the aged look.

I hollowed out the eyes, ears, and nose to place vellum over the holes.

Turn the lights on... 

The cauldron got lost in the black backdrop, so here's what it looks like.

Materials Used: 

• Die Cut Machine
• Silhouette Cameo 3
• Silhouette Studio-Designer Edition
• Adhesive
• Aleene's Original Tacky Glue
• SnapDragon/SVG Attic file ~Pot of Gold 3D Skull

Mad Hatter's Mourner's Hat with a Twist?

Hello - I'm taking over the blog again this Sunday with more Halloween spookiness.

I really can't decided whether it's a Mad Hatter's Hat or a Mourner's Hat. It's definitely a hat!

I wanted to make the Mourner's Hat from the JGW Raven Quest kit this Halloween but as I progressed, the project changed due to my hyperactive brain. "I wonder if this can be done.....?" "Hmmmm can I do this…..?"

The answer: Yes! I did it. Presenting the Halloween Mad Hatter's Mourner's Hat with a twist:

The hat is made from AC Cardstock in Black and Charcoal and inked with Ingvild Bolme Chalk Ink in White.

I made the panels and the little shelves myself with the Silhouette Software. The Panels are embossed with a Bark patterned embossing folder from Darice.

I made small holes in the back of each shelf for the light to shine through.

I added a scratch mark in one of the panels and backed it with vellum - also for light to shine through. I found it in the Silhouette Design Store Design ID #118964 by Sophie Gallo.

Then I got busy decorating the hat with all sorts of nick nack Halloween style I could find in my stash.

The flowers are from Prima, several of the decor pieces are from Ideaology  and the gem swirls are from BoBunny.

I wrapped "Mummy Cloth" around the hat as a band and also around the bow.

One of the most awesome feature, is the Zombie Hand that holds the lantern. It's also from Ideaology and I love it to bits....It's so cool.

It's pretty creepy in the dark

So what do you think? Let me know in a comment below and I'll see you soon - thanks for joining me today.

Haunted Lantern

Hello and welcome back - yes it's me again. Did I mention that I really love Halloween????

Ha ha once or twice maybe. Yes I love it and I love spookifying everything in sight.

This time it happen to the amazing Lantern 3D Hanging Floral Grille from the Pushing Petals Kit

It's made from AC Cardstock in Charcoal and Rouge along with some Bazzill Bling Cardstock in a light grey.

The blood border and bloody handprint are from the Silhouette Design Store (Design ID #223575 by Sophie Gallo and Design ID #98189 by Jamie Cripps)

The flowers are from Prima - some single ones that I just put together how I liked and the brads are from my rather large stash.

The Cameo, spider and burlap bow are from Ideaology by Tim Holtz and the spider web is available everywhere these days I think LOL.....

It's a very easy but detailed lantern to make - not that large but that's how I like it. It looks awesome in my kitchen with some of my other Halloween decorations.

Thanks for stopping by today….more coming up soon so stay tuned!

Cards For Your Halloween Witches

One of my favorite parts of Halloween is the witches. 

Not the scary demonic kind, I like the cute little fun witches with their big hats and fancy shoes!

Tracy here from the Idea Closet.

Today, in honor of all those cute witches, I have three cards to share.

First up is the Cauldron Impossible Card.

Don't let the name fool you, this card is actually pretty easy to put together.

It folds flat for mailing and then pops open  for a little bit of decor.  

Such a fun card- and Jodi actually has 4 impossible cards.

If you like the cauldron, how about the Cauldron Hidden Gift Card Holder.

This card has a lot of cute extras.

It comes with a tag.

I changed my tag up a bit and added two spiders with Epoxy middles (sorry the picture doesn't do it justice).

Add the spiders with foam pop dots and they look like they are about to jump off the tag!

Gift Cards are better than candy almost any time. Place one in the hidden holder and slip it into the cauldron.

Who wouldn't love that surprise?

Last is the Witch Hat Rocker Card.

I love the 3D bow on this card.

For all of the cards, I used  Frost White liquid ink applied with a make up sponge, to give the black a little more of a scuffed up look.

I hope you enjoyed these cards and will try one for yourself.

Thanks for joining me today.
