I created this spooky Halloween Shadow Box using products from Tim Holtz and items from the craft store. It would be the perfect center piece for a haunted Halloween table. I filmed a video on how to make one, you can click here to watch it in HD on my Youtube channel or check it out down below.

I love to incorporate stamping with my mixed media collages. Here’s some more info on how I made these fun Halloween wall decorations.
Using a vintage BINGO card as a base I stamped tiny stars all over in black ink. I made a copy of a vintage photo and tinted the girls clothes with alcohol markers, added witch hat brads to their heads and also some vintage book text. I layered this onto black cardstock trimmed with deckle edge scissors and adhered it to my bingo card. For the medallion I layered a plain punched circle from yellow cardstock onto a scalloped circle from black cardstock and on top of that I adhered a black cat which I stamped onto white cardstock, embossed using black embossing powder and cut out. To the top corners of the bingo card I added some large eyelets and tied some ribbon to hang it from.
For this card I did similar treatments on the photo, card and hanger but instead of the medallion I added some triangles cut from purple and yellow cardstocks and added stamped letters to each flag to spell out “BOO!”.
Both of these (and a few other Halloween themed collages) are currently available here in my Etsy shop.
Sorry, just couldn’t resist that title 😉
Continuing my work with felt here’s a couple of holiday ornament I’ve made. They are all felt that have been blanket stitched around the edges with embroidery floss.
This first is a Snowman ornament, he’s stuffed with poly fill, I made him a broom using a wooden dowel and felt. I especially love the nose, I rolled orange felt into a cone shape and glued it on.
This next one is a felt mitten, it’s the perfect size to hold a gift card or tiny gift, use as a tag on a present or just hang on the tree.
I’ve made several different colors of mittens and snowmen in different color hats and scarves, they’ll all be available in my Etsy shop.
