Artist Trading Cards Frankie Series 1

 The October ATC swap at Wishful Thinking in October is "Monsters," so I decided to do the most popular monster ever - Frankenstein's monster; in this case little Frankie.  Made with Sizzix die: Costume Party 665555.  They are all pretty much the same except for the verses that came from the Tim Holtz Ideaology Halloween booklet. 

The other verses I chose were:  "I heard footsteps behind me"  "a laboratory"  "A Strange Visitor"  "sometime in the middle of the night"  "he gives me the creeps"  "charged with foreboding"   and the one here "the creature obsessed me"    

I hope my swap partners like them!

Stampotique Artist Trading Cards

 In the Monster Series 2 set of ATC's, I was experimenting with masking an image and then printing the background with a Geli plate.  The image is from Daniel Torrente's line at Stampotique; the verse is from Stampers Anonymous.

Birthday Package

 This is the birthday crafts that I sent to a friend back in June.  

The card was made with a Tim Holtz Sizzix die and Ranger's Tim Holtz embossing glaze.

I used all sorts of die cuts and ephemera for this memorydex card:

Mintay Halloween Trading Cards - Monsters

 These were made using the Mintay Halloween Book 2024 images. The backgrounds are a combination of collage, cardstock and Distress Inks.

Halloween Wall Hanging

 I made this little wall hanging for Angelina at work.  

It has a distress ink background. 

The Sizzix die sets used to piece this together were:

Moonlight 666386 for the moon and bats.

Mr. Bones 665554 for the skeleton and large tombstone

Vault Fright Night 666684 for the small tombstones and the wispy clouds

Graveyard 666383 was used for the fencing and flowerpot.

Gate Keeper 664734 was used for the large gate Mr. Bones is walking out of.

I hope she likes it!
