The future is bright...

Hello, and welcome!

It's October, and I am already excited for Halloween.  It's my favourite celebration of the year so I have to make at least one project to honour the occasion, am I right?

Here's how I made this card using the snow globe dome as a crystal ball-

I struggled a bit with lining up the stamped background.  I'm sure there must be an easy way but if so, I don't know what it is!  (Heads off to do research...)

See you soon,

Keep crafting,

Hello bloggists, thank you for visiting!

I may have mentioned that I really enjoy Halloween.  It's not everyone's cup of tea, I know - but I just LOVE it.  And when I saw the Mr Funny Bones stamps in the seasonal catalogue I had to get it!

I wanted to have some fun with these stamps and you know how I love kinetic cards.  Here's the tutorial - 

Thank you for visiting and I hope you enjoyed this post.  Please do come back again soon!

Halloween Triangle Fold Card

Hello bloggists, thanks for stopping by!

There's a real autumnal feel to the weather here today.  It's much cooler than it has been, it's raining and windy and it's easy to believe that Halloween will soon be here.

Halloween is my favourite holiday.  When I was a child, it wasn't a big celebration - Guy Fawkes  Night was much more exciting, with a huge bonfire built by the local boys and fireworks set off in back gardens by parents.  If I’m completely honest, the fun started some time before, with penny-for-the-Guy (which I was forbidden to do) and the older boys buying Bangers and Jumping Jacks for the purpose of scaring the girls by throwing them (you only had to be 13 to buy fireworks then - Health & Safety hadn't been invented!)  Halloween was much more low-key, usually we stayed at home played Ducking Apples (where you tried to take a bite out of an apple floating in a bowl of water or suspended from a string without using your hands).

I really love the modern Halloween, with the fancy dress and the spooky decorations and all.  We still don't exchange cards very much here in the UK but I'm not going to let that stop me from making some! I love the Spooky Fun set lots, and I've used it for this Triangle Fold card.  It opens up like this-

Here's the tutorial-

What do you think?  Hope you like  it!

See you soon,
