~Clear Acrylic Glitter Word Ornament Tutorial!~

     Merry Christmas to my crafty friends!!! 

I am really in the ornament making mood and when I found these mini Expressions from Clear Scraps in my pile of goodness I thought it would be PERFECT to create even more fun ornaments. 

Step 1. Remover protective film from the back of the Expressions. Leaving the front film in tact.

Step 2. Coat back of Expressions in adhesive and Clearsnap glitter, set aside to dry. 

Step 3. Take Bell Mini Album or any wintery design from
Clear Scraps, remove both sides of protective film. 

Step 4. Using Piccolo embossing adhesive- apply embossing enamel
 or powder to edges on the adhesive. 

Step 5. GENTLY and slowly heat set using embossing gun. Just lightly place heat on and remove quickly, working your way around the Clear Scraps acrylic. If it begins to warp immediately remove heat then press gently with finger or tweezers. 

Step 6. Using Crop-A-Dile punch small holes where you want to thread ornament. 

Step 7. Thread ornament using thin mesh ribbon. Knotting in the back.

Step 8. Create bow using same ribbon, adhere to top of Bell Mini Album Page. 

Not only easy but beautiful and handmade! 

I wish I had my tree up to photograh but it's not quite ready yet,
I will be sure to share when it's up and on the tree!

~3-D Halloween Card & Halloween Memories *Photos*~

Good morning my crafty friends, 

As Halloween approaches I get more and more excited! :) 

Traditionally the Hobbs really go all out on Halloween, 

but the last 2 years my youngest has decided he hates Halloween

so I now live vicariously through crafting! LOL

Last week Xyron and Globecraft paired up for a fun cross promo

and this is the 3-D card I made for it. 

I used the Piccolo Halloween House Haunting Accents & Clearsnap ColorBox Ink

You can find a full tutorial on the blog!

And just for fun I thought I would add a couple photos....

from back in the day when I made all our costumes. 

Yes I miss these days...but that's how the Hobbs roll YO! :) 

My boy might be crazy but I love that kid...even if he hates Halloween :( LOL

Unity Stamp, with a Stickle edge, Clearsnap inks too,
