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.

Come Away with Me

Happy Sunday and welcome back.

Ahhhh! - Now it's Summer time and soon time for my annual Summer vacation. Something we treasure highly in my family as everyday can sometimes be a bit harsh due to all our challenges. So this time, once a year, we throw all our cares away, get on a plane and fly down south and this year we'll be visiting Mallorca - the largest of the Balearic Islands, Spain. We've been there before but we do love this island, so we decided to go back.

The only thing I don't look forward to is 14 days without my crafting…...YIKES! Gotta smuggle something with me so I don't go mad (Ehm....more mad)

Ok so with this in mind, I decided to make something with a travel theme and my eyes landed on the gorgeous Round Traveling Case from SVGAttic's JGW Fashionably French kit. I've seen many versions of it made the last couple of months and wanted to make my own - and here it is:

I used AC Cardstock in Vanilla, Chestnut and Coffee along with the delightful Graphic 45 paper "Come Away with Me" collection that seems just right for this project. 

I also used some Cricut Faux Leather for the strap, metal colored dots as nail heads and a ball chain to hold the tag and a tiny metal key.

Then I dived into my huge stash of Prima flowers and found some that matched the paper real well along with a rhinestone swirl. Finally I also found some glass cabochons to decorate with.

Such a fun project to make and the suitcase goes together so easy but looks so amazing - don't you think? Tell me in a comment.

Thanks for stopping by today - I really hope you like my version of the suitcase.

Chocolate Bunny Basket

Hello and happy Easter Sunday Morning :-)

 

In this my last Easter post, I want to show you a darling basket I made using the SnapDragon Snippets Basket Lrg 3D Choc Bunny Insert:

 

This cutie is made from AC Cardstock in Robin's Egg, Pine, Spinach, Oregano and Key Lime. I decorated it with patterned paper from Graphic 45 "Once Upon a Springtime" and some assorted Prima flowers from my rather large flower stash instead of the Happy Easter sign.

 

I also used 4 small pink brads to secure the handle and tied a bow in green organza ribbon on top of the handle.

 

Finally I put in the adorable chocolate bunny and boom! Ready for giving it away - this time to my sister as her Easter Egg from me. I do hope she likes it!

 

A very easy and most cute project to make for Easter and if you want to put in something else than the bunny, just leave out the insert.

 

Thank you so much for joining me today and for all my Easter projects - Now it's time for something else - Let's see what I come up with ;-)
