Designer: Samantha Sibbet

Epiphany Crafts Supplies:

Shape Studio Tool Scallop

Scallop Round Bubble Caps

Other Supplies:
Tattered Angels Electric Blue Glimmer Mist
Honey Dew Glimmer Mist
Tattered Angels Chipboard Frame

I splattered my white cardstock with Tattered Angels Electric Blue Glimmer Mist before layering patterned papers. On a scrap piece of white cardstock, I sprayed Electric Blue and Honey Dew Glimmer Mist. After the mist dried, I used a few rub ons and the Scalloped Round Epoxy Shape Studio to make custom embellishments to match my lay out. With a paintbrush, I painted the Electric Blue right on to the Tattered Angels chipboard frame. I love these frames and use them everywhere! Here, I used the frame to highlight the journaling.

Tattered Angels supplies used:
Northern Lights Glimmer Glaze

Other supplies: Tim Holtz Idea-ology Bottles, glitter, hemp cord

Quick how-to:

1. Pour a little Northern Lights Glimmer Glaze into a bottle. 

2. Swirl the bottle until the entire inside is coated by the Glimmer Glaze. Pour excess Glaze right back into it's bottle so none is wasted.

3.Immediately add about half a teaspoon of fine white glitter into the bottle, and shake it so it coats all sides.

4. The glitter will start to take on the color of the Northern Lights Glimmer Glaze. Now just let this sit to dry. When dry re-cork the bottle and decorate the outside.

HALLOWEEN

A gentle breeze rustling the dry cornstalks.
A sound is heard, a goblin walks.
A harvest moon suffers a black cat's cry.
Oh' do the witches fly!
Bonfire catches a pumpkins gleam.
Rejoice, it's Halloween!

For this treat bag I used the square tool to punch squares. I then trimmed the squares in half to create a chevron border.





For this treat bag I used the oval tool to punch several ovals. I folded them in half and adhered the halves together to create a pumpkin shape. Add a small bit of trimmed paper for a stem.





The inside of the treat bags are lined with coordinating patterned paper. I love the way it shows through glassine.
