Smell my Feet!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!


Can't believe I got anything Halloween done. I have sent these with my husband for his colleagues' children.

Normally I use the instructions from Splitcoaststampers. This time however I used the ones on Scor-pal's site. I would say that user error made the sizing not as consistent as I would have liked, but considering these are for kids and will be pulled apart in nanoseconds, I'm ok with that.

Ingredients
Cardstock - Georgia Pacific, Recollections, The Paper Studio: the basics;
Stamps - Recollections: Halloween;
Ink - Memento: tuxedo black; Brilliance: moonlight white;
Color - Copic spica;
Tools - Score-pal; paper trimmer; Spellbinders circle nestabilities; Cuttlebug

One or two in a Minion! how despicable of me.

Bello!  


What's better than one minion?






Dul!

Two minions of course!



Aren't they fun?!  My brain went Bee Do Bee Do Bee Do!




I just couldn't resist making these after I saw some adorable cards on Pinterest.



I saw this card on Pinterest and had to CASE it for my husband and youngest because one minion just looks lonely...  So lots of cutting and die cutting later I had two minion cards ready for their birthdays!!!  I love them and then promptly sent them to my eldest at university to send back to them!   I can't decide which variation I like better.  Do you have a preference?

Ingredients
Card Size 5.5 in x 8.5 in
Cardstock - Neenah Classic Crest Solar White (base), Recollections: Yellow, Blue, Black, Kraft; Bazzill: Gray;
Accessories - Black brads; Nestabilities: Circles

Poopaye!

All hands on board!


OK I admit it.  This looked better in my head, though I like the concept.  I honestly forget to crop the black so that the white base framed it.  I now wonder if that would have helped...

Simply complex fuzzy Mustache Card


I made this a while ago and forgot to write down what I did.  I'm fairly certain I stamped the mustache in black and then covered it with glitter glue to adhere the flocking.

This card is for a family member that actually gets stopped and asked for autographs because they are convinced he is Tom Selleck.  I decided to keep it simple and think it works.

Ingredients
Card size - 5.5 in x 8.5 in;
Cardstock - Neenah Classic Crest Solar White Smooth; Revelations - black;
Stamps - Stampabilities Mustaches Clear Stamp Set;
Ink - Memento: Tuxedo Black;
Accessories - Glue; Fun Flock: Black
