Fall Fun With Epiphany Crafts!

Fall...it's officially here!

Just take a drive down any road and we're surrounded by beautiful fall foliage, leaves on the ground and blooming mums!

Take a walk around your local stores though and they sing another song!

Christmas!!

Although we should no longer be surprised that stores are already promoting Black Friday sales...in fact...Black Friday makes more sense around Halloween. (at least to me!lol)

Today we're shining our Epiphany Crafts spotlight on one of the smart shapes you can purchase...our Shape Studio Tool Round 14! And did you know...our Shape Studio Tool Round 14 is now available at your local Hobby Lobby along with our Round 25 and Scallop!!





Owl Tic-Tac-Toe Game 
Designer: Joy Hager

Epiphany Crafts Tools:

Epiphany Crafts Shape Studio Round 14
Shape Studio Accessories Bubble Caps Round 14

Other Supplies:
Paper- The Paper Studio Woodland Friends
Felt
Floss
Buttons
Snap

**Just a note...all materials can be found at Hobby Lobby!**
Owl pouch is based on a free pattern found at Moon Stitches. http://moonstitches.typepad.com/moonstitch...-style-owl.html You will not need fusible web and do not cut the back as the pattern suggest. Stitch a Tic-Tac-Toe grid on the back and on the opposite side stitch one half of the snap. Cut a small triangle for the beak, this will also cover the stitching from the snap. After you stitch the belly to the front piece cut the top part off just above the point. Bend the beak over to line up where the second half of the snap needs to be sewed. Sew two buttons directly across from the snap for eyes. Blanket stitch the front to the back. For the playing pieces use Epiphany Crafts Shape Studio Round 14 with Bubble Caps Round 14 and paper from the Paper Studio, punch 5 pieces from gray and 5 from green images. Have fun!

Happy Halloween to YOU!

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!

It's Our Final Day of Our Clearsnap Blog Hop!!


Today wraps up our week long Halloween Blog Hop with Clearsnap!

Clearsnap is known for their endless array of inks and stamps pads along with their new addition of their
Smooch Sprays and Inks! 

We have to tell you...once you try them...you'll want to "collect" all the colors now available!

Today we have projects from Designer Julie Walton and some Halloween decor to spruce up your home before Monday!!  


Halloween Frame
Designer: Julie Walton

Epiphany Crafts Supplies:
Round 25 Studio Shape Tool, Round 25 Bubble Caps
Round 14 Studio Shape Tool, Round 14 Bubble Caps
Star Felt Settings

Other Supplies:
Clearsnap Smooch Spritz
Smooch Inks


Halloween Frame is an altered frame. I used the Smooch Spritz on the outside edges of the frame in purple and on the inside edge of the frame in orange and then beefed the color up with the smooch ink. I used the large round bubblecaps on the frame surface and two of the small round bubblecaps in the vintage settings along with the felt settings.





Hello Fall Mixed Media Canvas
Designer: Julie Walton

Epiphany Crafts Supplies:
Heart Studio Shape Tool, Heart Bubble Caps
Round 14 Shape Tool, Round 14 Bubble Caps 

Other Supplies:
Clearsnap Smooch Spritz
Sparkle Fibers

Hello Fall is a mixed media canvas that I first sprayed with the Smooch Spritz, I tried to use the adhesive masks on the canvas after spraying the spritz so that I could apply the foils and I found that didn't work, but they did remove some of the spritz and I liked that look so left it. I used the small heart bubble caps on foil by just applying the adhesive side to the foil itself. I did this as well with the small round bubblecaps and used them with the charms and vintage settings. I applied some of the sparkle fibers to the adhesive side of the large heart bubblecaps as well. I used the ink to stamp the large flower and the edges of the canvas.
