* Vera Lane Studio: Quirky Halloween Zombies

Hello everyone!

I am just back from holiday and trying my best to catch up with visiting blogs and commenting. I promise I'll get round to yours as soon as I can!

Well, can you believe it? We are fast approaching the end of October! As you may know, at Vera Lane Studio, our monthly theme is Halloween. We are collaborating with the lovely Serena Bee and are using some of the October papers from her shop, Papercakes. I hope you'll pop over and see her wonderful products and stop by her blog for some Halloween inspiration.

For my final October DT post I made a card using this gorgeous little zombie trio:



Vera's Zombies, Gage, Rachel and Meow the cat are super-cute and quirky. They don't scare anyone at all! They are coloured with markers and fussy cut. They are popped on a background of black cats and swirls from the October Nights paper collection. They are standing on some pink stitched paper from the Spooky Pastel paper collection. The tiny ghosts are cut from Spooky Pastel paper and attached on foam pads.

* Vera Lane Studio: Morty’s Halloween

Hello Everyone!

Today I have a quick Halloween card to share.

This month at Vera Lane Studio, as you probably know, we’re celebrating all things Halloween and collaborating with Serena Bee by using her gorgeous papers from her online shop, called Papercakes.

Here is my card using Morty's Halloween digi set:

I used Morty and teamed him with some pink papers from the Spooky Pastel collection. The black cat paper is from the October Nights collection. I must have printed this onto different card than I usually use, as the black wasn’t as  black as I like, so to save wasting it, I clear heat embossed it and that did the trick and also made it shiny! Do you like the little ghosts? They are cut out of paper from Serena's Spooky Pastel collection. The sentiment is from Halloween Expressions. I added some gems and sequins to bling it up a bit!

* Scrapbook Stamp Society: Halloween

Hello everyone!


Today I'm sharing my DT project for 
Scrapbook Stamp Society. 

The challenge is always Anything Goes, but this time we have the optional theme of Halloween.

The Winners and Runner-Ups will receive My Bestie digital stamps from a selection on offer.  For more details, please pop over to the challenge blog.

Here is my card:



I used Halloween Spa for my card. I coloured the image with markers and cut it with a stitched rectangle die. Whilst the die was still in place I lightly inked the background. I matted the image onto black card and popped it on foam pads onto a background made with Spooky Pastel bat paper from Papercakes. The striped paper is from the October Nights paper pack. I added some black and white ribbon and matted all onto black card. I added a 'Boo' sentiment and a knotted ribbon bow.

I hope you'll pop over to the Challenge Blog and see the DT's fabulous projects.
We would love it if you'd share your work with us!

* Vera Lane Studio: Halloween Mix-up

Hello everyone!

Here at Vera Lane Studio, our theme this month is Halloween. Each month we have an ATC swap and this month DT member, Stephanie is hosting the Halloween Mix-up swap. 

 We are collaborating with the lovely Serena Bee, using some of the October papers from her shop, Papercakes. I hope you'll pop over and see the wonderful products for sale in her shop and stop by her blog for some Halloween inspiration.

I made these mix-up ATCs by swapping heads and bodies of the main character in each:



For this one I swapped Cindy Clawford's head for one of the Skullies' heads - I love the pumpkin hat! I added Corbett and the pumpkin pail from the Little Witch set and a sentiment from Halloween Expressions. Do you like the tiny googly eyes - I thought they were a fun addition! I used scraps of October Nights Paper from Papercakes for the background along with some glitter tape and some ric-rac ribbon.



For this ATC I used Cindy Clawford's head on Raven's body. I teamed her with a headstone and zombie daisy from Zombie Accessories and creepy-cute Carlos. This time I used scraps of Spooky Pastel papers from Papercakes for the background and a sentiment from Halloween Expressions.

I hope you'll come along and play on Vera Lane. It's such a friendly, fun place to be!

* Vera Lane Studio: Raven and Pixie

Hello everyone!

Here at Vera Lane Studio, our theme this month is Halloween. 

 We are collaborating with the lovely Serena Bee, using some of the October papers from her shop, Papercakes. I hope you'll pop over and see the wonderful products for sale in her shop and stop by her blog for some Halloween inspiration.

I made this card using the gorgeous little zombie girl, Raven and her doggie sidekick, Pixie:



The images were coloured with markers and fussy cut. They were popped on foam pads onto a background made with Spooky Pastel papers matted onto black card. A torn piece of black and white washi tape was used to ground the images. The sentiment is from the Halloween Expressions set.

* Vera Lane Studio: Skullies!

Hello everyone!

I hope you're enjoying October so far.

There is so much going on in blogland and not enough time to follow it all!

Here at Vera Lane Studio, we are having a month of mischievous Halloween fun and we are collaborating with the lovely Serena Bee. Please pop over to her blog and shop, Papercakes, to see her super-cute Halloween makes.

Today I have a set of ATCs to share. Each ATC features one of the  Skullies made into a paperclip to keep your papers and planners in order, or it could be used as a bookmark.

The Skullies digital set contains 10 different skulls and 2 hats - a super bundle that is oh-so versatile! 

You will need 2 of each image to create a paperclip. One image will need to be reversed, which is very easy to do (I have a little video tutorial here).  I coloured the images with markers, adding Posca white pen and glitter for some detail. The two sides were glued together, sandwiching the jumbo paperclip - I used silicone glue for this. 

The ATC backgrounds are made from Serena's October Nights paper. The edges were inked in black and some silver trim was added. The Alpha stickers were adhered, then the paperclip attached with some black glitter tape. Green gems were placed in the centre of some of the webs.
I decided to put the ATCs on small cards again made with Serena's paper, so that I could send them along with Happy Mail.

BOO!
  

EEK!
  

R.I.P.
