Day 167: Halloween Spider Bookmark

made this just for fun while trying to fill up a laminating sheet (making other Christmas bookmarks for Swap-bot swaps).

used a scrap piece of Halloween paper cut to 2 x 5.5-inches on top of white cardstock (cut just a little bit bigger). rounded the edges of both papers, then adhered and laminated them together. punched a hole in the top and braided white, black, and orange embroidery thread for the tassel.

cute huh? i made two, but my husband took one to use. :)

Day 161: Halloween Spider Bookmark

made a few Halloween bookmarks as part of the Swap-bot swap, "Trick or Treat 2011" in the Love to Swap group.  each of my 3 partners got one bookmark.



one of the bookmarks i made featured SPIDERS!  i used my Martha Stewart Crafts paper punch (spider and spiderweb corner) and Tim Holtz spiderweb tape to create it.  it's just white cardstock with the corners spiderweb punched, backed with black cardstock and finished with an eyelet and white organza ribbon.

Day 160: Halloween Spider Coasters

i made a set of Halloween drink coasters for each of my 3 partners as part of the Swap-bot swap, "Trick or Treat 2011" in the Love to Swap group.




the set includes a SPIDER so i'm posting it here... but they're also a cute vampire, ghost and skeleton girl, too. 
i used the dollar bin rubber stamps from Michaels and Joanns along with my Staz-On black stamp pad... and tada!  cute coasters perfect for October!

Day 159: Spider Bottlecap Magnets

it's not that i haven't been making creepy crawlies for the past 3 months, i just haven't been motivated into blogging.  yah.  that's it... :)



i made these a couple of weeks ago, as part of the Swap-bot swap, "Trick or Treat 2011" in the Love to Swap group.

there is spiderweb paper on the bottom of the bottlecap, covered with Diamond Glaze (sprinkled with super-fine glitter, and a spider on top. :)  and of course, a tiny super-strong magnet glued to the back.
