Halloween in Wonderland Make & Take
October 26th, 2010 | Posted in Creations, Techniques

Yesterday we had fun tearing paper, inking edges and eating cream puffs. I forgot to put the cream puffs out at Designing Desserts so I shared them with the Make & Take guests. Here’s what we created…

Purple A2 Note Card
Friend Definition Cling (CG125) by Hero Arts
Hobgoblin Tissue Tape by Idea-ology

Stamp Friend Definition with Tuxedo Black ink on Hazard card stock. Tear 1/4 off top and bottom edges then fold over some of the torn peaks. Ink the edges of all paper layers with Tuxedo Black ink. Adhere Celebration (stripe) to front of purple note card. Adhere stamped Hazard layer then Avocado card stock. Embellish with a strip of Hobgoblin Tissue Tape on Avocado card stock. Trim one Jabberwocky image out with Deckle Edge scissors. Mount on card front with foam tape.

Our next Make & Take is Monday, Nov. 8. Hope you can join us!
