Oh my! It's the 12th and final Day of the 12 Days of Creepmas Blog Hop sponsored by Smeared Ink and the fabulous Smeared and Smudged Forum. If any of this tickles your fancy you just gotta come and join. It's FREE and there's all sorts of great things going on there, not to mention a really, really, REALLY great community of wonderful supportive crafters and friends. Thanks so much for this fabulous event. It also just happens to be a Smeared Ink Day where we Jolly Bloggers are challenged to use only Smeard Ink Stamps. No prob. You've heard the sentiment "Snowflakes are Winter's Butterflies"? Well I say, for Creepmas, "Snowflakes are Winter's BATTERFLIES."
It's an ornament again, using my fave bat from the A Little Bit Batty Set from Smeared Ink (also available HERE as a single). Again I used a spent ribbon roll and printed, flocked, fussy cut and popped the bat as I did for my first DT Throwdown project HERE. Perhaps I should do one for each holiday, eh?
Here's a close up of his cute little face and the icy crystal and skullie pendant he carries in his furry little claws. Makes you all warm and fuzzy, doesn't it? That's the maribou talking. The snowflake was cut on my Cricut and glittered all up and popped on a silver foil shadow.
Had to commemorate the occasion on the back with the date. My first Creepmas Blog Hop, but it certainly won't be my last. I've got a ton of ideas left for next year. WooHoo! Now off to Violent Kittie, but before you go, I want to wish you a fabulous holiday and hope all your Creepmas dreams come true. xxD
Yikes! We're gettin' down to the wire now, aren't we? Damn good thing I had the majority of these projects done before we even started. By now you know the whole Creepmas hop thingy and that the Jolly Blogger list resides on the sidebar. Hasn't this been fun? Gotta tell ya, I've been having a ball. Today I've got a little something for my man. You know, a little door hanger to let him know when I'm feelin' "frisky". LOL Yeah guys, you KNEW this kinda thing was coming one of these days, didn't ya? ( I sooo enjoy the nasty comments and hate mail I receive!)
I've used the fab Long Tall Latex Sally from Ike's Art, the precolored version in fact, because why mess with perfection? I've added some festive jingle bells and a Santa's hat (from Smeared Ink's Watchful Eye AGAIN! Obviously a MUST HAVE!) and actually broke down and bought a whole policeman's outfit, with accoutrements, from JoLee's JUST to get my hands on those handcuffs. Cool, eh? I considered moving the mistletoe to a more provocative place but... ahem...
The fab chain is an EKSuccess punch, the mistletoe a Sizzix die. Sentiment is computer generated and although I did not color the image myself, I did fussy cut, pop her for dimension and coated her head to toe with Glossy Accents.
As you might guess, I'll be entering her in the current Ike's World Christmas is cumming (I mean Coming) Challenge. Fa la la la la! Now off to see Violent Kittie. MEOW!
It's the 9th Day of Creepmas, how time has flown. Today is Smeared Ink day and both Jolly Bloggers and Merry Hoppers have the opportunity to win a prize from our fabulous sponsors, Smeared Ink. Bloggers must use only Smeared Ink Stamps and hoppers must comment on each of the posts, so let's get to it. To begin at the beginning, please visit my sidebar. I've used the fabulous Succubus 5, (also available in the Succubus Set) drawn by my HDH teamie Ike, for Smeared Ink.
Poor girl is pining away for her love. She's colored with Copics, fussy cut, glittered with superfine glitter, and popped. The gorgeous digi paper in the background is from the new Smeared Ink Icy Paper Pack (also available in 12 x 12, as are all Smeared Ink Digi papers for you scrapbookers).
I've double embossed with both the Tim Holtz Tall Pine Trees Sizzix folder and the Cuttlebug special edition Snowfall folder and fussy cut around a portion of the trees to die cut the aperture using the largest of my Spellbinders Labels 13 dies. The gorgeous snowflakes are from my ancient stash (probably JoLee's?).
The sentiment is computer generated and cut with a Spellbinders Fancy Tags die garnished with some blue adhesive pearls. Now off you go to the fabulous Violent Kittie.
I'm entering this in the Simon Says Wednesday Let it Snow Challenge, the Sisterhood of Crafters Christmas Sparkle, Tip Top Tuesday Snowflakes, Through the Purple Haze Here Comes Christmas Day, Lunagirl Blue Christmas, Sparkle and Sprinkle Dec ATG with Glitter, and Crafty Calendar Cold and Frosty.
It's Day 8 of the 12 Days of Creepmas sponsored by Smeared Ink and the Smeared and Smudged Forum and I'm doing double duty today. Obviously this is my 8th Day offering, but I made it an ATC to also play in the Wicked Wednesday Creepy Christmas Challenge. The fabulous digis are from HDH Minion sis Teri at Delicious Doodles. I've used Tombstone 1, although the economical way to buy them is the fab Tombstone Collection of all 6 because once you see them, you will WANT THEM ALL! I've decked it out for Creepmas with Skully Xmas Wreath. And just in case you're interested in non creepy stuff, teri has gobs of beautiful mainstream digis at Delicious Doodles as well. The background digi paper is from the new Smeared Ink Icy Digital Paper Pack.
I printed the images several times, fussy cut and popped portions for dimension. Keep in mind that an ATC is 2 1/2 x3 1/2" and I have a fair amount of arthritis in my hands. Kinda tough goin'. Truly a labor of love because I gotta say I LOVE how it turned out. Since I was unable to fussy cut the greenery of the skully wreath, I added deep green metallic pine branches from a Martha Stewart punch and teeny adhesive gems to the eyes. I guess stone gargoyles don't have hairy legs or I'd enter it over at the Delicious Doodles challenge as well. Bummer, shoulda gotten this done last week! Next up is a fabulous treat from Violent Kitty, and remember, the Blog Roll is always on the sidebar if you lose your way.
I will, however, enter it in the PunkYouGirl Black Christmas Challenge, the Corrosive Challenge Anything Goes, Anything but a Card (it's an ATC) ATG with a Holiday Twist and Left of Center Winter/Holidays Challenge.
Can you believe it's Friday the 13th and Day 7 out of 12 for the Smeared and Smudged Creepmas Blog Hop? That's sort of scaring me since I'm so unprepared for the upcoming holiday. It's Smeared Ink Day and I've a fun card featuring the Quoth the Raven rubber set (available as a past offering from the Smeared Ink Rubber Club). I've used the Santa Hat from the Watchful Eye digi, yet again, this time flocking it and using a Snow Writer for the cuff and pom pom for Poe and the Raven. The cool card die is by Sizzix and it all folds flat for sending (not that I ever actually send anything, LOL)
The background DP is digi paper from the Slasher pack, also from Smeared Ink. I've spelled out Poe in Alpha Beads and added a computer generated sentiment banner for the Raven. Notice the little glitter raven dimensional stickers in the bottom corners too. Aren't they the cutest ever? Be sure to leave a comment since there's a drawing for prizes for a Jolly Blogger and a Merry Hopper from Smeared Ink today. Full lineup is on the sidebar so you can start at the beginning and not miss a thing. Next up is Violent Kitty. WooHoo!
Obviously, I'm also entering this in the Ho Ho Poe Challenge at Quoth the Raven, TTRCD ATG Dec 10-16, Left of Center Winter or Holidays, Drunken Stampers:Person (Santa) Challenge.
OMG!!! We're halfway there! It's Day 6 of the 12 Days of Creepmas sponsored by the Smeared and Smudged Forum. If you'd like to start at the beginning of the hop, the full lineup in on the sidebar. Today I've created a little winter scene using the birch trees die from Memory Box in a frame cut with my Nesties. The fabulous images are from Rick St Dennis MFA. Surrender Rudolph is a gunnin' for Creepmas dinner (don't laugh, I actually DO make rack of venison for Christmas), while Rudolph himself (from a bookmark set I can't find in either of his shops) makes a feeble attempt to hide.
Both were colored with Copics, fussy cut and popped among the trees. Unfortunately...
Inside sentiment is computer generated. Bullet holes are from the Chick's Dig Guns set by Smeared Ink and the blood spatter is from the Inky Dreams Rubber set, available as a past Rubber Club Offering by Smeared Ink (as is Chicks Dig Guns if you prefer). Now scurry of to see what wonders Violent Kitty has in store for you.
It's the 5th Day of Creepmas sponsored by the Smeared and Smudged forum (see side bar for full list of participants) and I have the perfect gifty for your favorite Scrooge. I've made a little bottle tag to bring some Creepmas Cheer.
I've used the Tim Holtz Halloween skull die and stamp set and layered it up with a digi Santa hat that was a Freebie from The Octopode Factory and a Memory Box wreath die.
I kinda winged it on the tag itself, but did pop the stamp layers for dimension and glittered the cuff and pom pom of the Santa hat.
So what's the black stuff, you ask? it's Blavod BLACK vodka to match Scrooge's BLACK mood (although I'll bet this attitude changes somewhat after a few nips of this. LOL)
And doesn't it just look FABULOUS in the skully shot glass? Great gift set, (if I do say so myself). I tried hard to put little red gems in the eyes, but I couldn't get my fat little fingers in there. LOL OOOppss! Had to do a little tasted test to make sure it was all that it's cracked up to be...YUP! I think I'll have another. Now off to Violent Kitty you go.
I'm also entering this in the Drunken Stampers Person:(Santa Claus) Challenge (heehee, kinda fitting, eh?), the PunkYouGirl Black Christmas Challenge, and Left of Center Winter or Holiday Challenge.
It's Day 4 of the 12 Days of Creepmas sponsored by the Smeared and Smudged forum (joining is FREE, you know you wanna!) and it's another Smeared Ink Day! WooHoo! There are prizes to be had for one Jolly Blogger and one Merry Hopper so be sure to start at the beginning of the Hop (on my sidebar) and follow it through for the chance to win a fab prize from Smeared Ink. Although I've done a fair amount of projects in advance, I forgot to take pix so these aren't the greatest. Sorry! Here I've used Smeared Ink's Killer Shoes drawn by my fab HDH teamie Ike. (Yes, she designs for Smeared Ink too! Check THESE out!) Shoes are my passion so it should be no surprise that I LOVE this image, and could it be more perfect for Creepmas?
Here's a detail pic of the suede (flocked) and patent (Glossy Accents) killers. Eiyiyi! That mouse sure is messing up my Louboutins. He's fussy cut and popped for dramatic impact. I apologize to PETA and those with weaker stomachs, but when you have cats, this almost seems humane.
The other pair is glittered with real bows (on my "wish list"). No bloody massacre here. That sweet little rat Calypso, all dressed up with his Santa hat from Watchful Eye is high tailing it outta there! "EEK!" is right. So Fa La la, off you go now to visit Violent Kittie. (Calypso plans to skip her blog. Gee, I wonder why.)
I'm also adding this to the Outlawz Friday Alcohol Marker Shoes Challenge.
What a difference a day makes. Two days ago we were still in the high 60's and today...BBBRRR... Welcome to Day 3 of the 12 Days of Creepmas sponsored by the Smeared and Smudged forum. I had another project planned for today, but the change in the weather and the fact that I've been wanting to play in my HDH DT sister Ike's World Challenge made me switch gears. The current challenge is there is It Feels Like Winter (Yup, it sure does!) and the fact that Ike has some FABULOUS images that work well with the whole Creepmas theme resulted in this card. (BTW, she does beautiful traditional images of all sorts as well. Follow that Fabulous images link).
This gorgeous gal is Sinful Beauty. She's colored with Copics, fussy cut and popped within a fab Memory Box die cut snowflake concoction. Obviously she packs her own heat.
I've made a tent card with all sorts of frosty elements including glittered icicles from an MS punch, another Memory Box hanging snowflake die with bow, some acrylic glittered snowflakes and a computer generated sentiment (Warm Winter Wishes) on a Spellbinders fancy label. Have to say I'm feeling warmer already. Now off you go to Violent Kittie but if you get lost, please check the sidebar for the full Blog Roll.
I'm also entering this in the Left of Center Challenge using the LOC theme and SweetPea Stampers "It's Cold Outside".
It's here, it's here, The 12 Days of Creepmas sponsored by the Smeared and Smudged Forum and for the first time I'm a Jolly Blogger. You've seen my "Dark Side", most often with my DT posts for HDH, but I love to play on the Forum as well. Get ready for 12 Days of Creepmas fun offering the creepy cute, the cheeky, the gothic, the just plain creepy and the possibly the slightly gruesome, as it pertains to the holiday season. It's all in fun, so let's get started with Day #1. The Blog role is on my sidebar if you wish to hop along and see the fabulous projects from the rest of the Bloggers. For those who comment on each of the blogs all season long there's a fabulous prize to be had.
I thought I'd ease you in with a "creepy cute" image from Lacy Sunshine. This is Amelia, one of my faves from Lady Heather's Curiousities. She obviously has a bit of a split personality. The front of the card is half of the 6x6" square covered with skully digi paper from the unfortunately now defunct Crafty Chaos. The tombstone is a Cuttlebug die and I've added dark metal snowflakes from Recollections. The oval die is Spellbinders, split and popped with a glitter zig zag sticker down the middle.
Amelia is colored with Copics, fussy cut and popped, and I've added a Glo skull from my HDH DT sister Creepy Glo's Etsy shop (great Creepmas stuff to be had there) and a bat charm (with the ring clipped off) to her hand. "Naughty" and "Nice" is done with stickers from Studio 112.
Miraculously enough, I've finished the inside as well. Woohoo! The DP is Recollections (honest, it was from a last year's Christmas stack, if you're wondering about the color choice). The sentiment oval was placed directly beneath the one on the front and I repeated the "naughty" inside 'cause you know her true inclination. The acetate glitter snowflakes are from MAMBI with more metal ones on top and the fab skull and crossbones is from Tim Holtz. Sorry I'm sort of the wordy type but I can't promise I'll do any better. Now hop on to over to Violent Kittie (don'tcha just LOVE her name? Jezzie is SOOO jealous!) and see what Creepmas cheer she has in store for you.
I'm also entering this in the Lacy Sunshine Anything Goes Challenge, Simon Says Wednesday ATG, the Corrosive Happy Holidays Challenge the C.R.A.F.T. Use Metal/add a Charm Challenge, Drunken Stampers Metal challenge and Left of Center using the LOC theme.
