Happy Halloween! Free Halloween Printables, Laser Lace

Happy Halloween everyone who celebrates!

I've been having a great time designing new paper lace doilies with Halloween themes as you can see from the photos. I especially enjoyed making the cats designs, if you look closely you can see the tiny cats running around the doilies. There are also leaves. I have also designed many bird doilies in paper I will have in Etsy soon.

The top photo shows a few of my lace collars and cuffs I offer on our website. I wanted to design a setting similar to a shop window to display some of the cotton laser cut lace designs before I put them up on Etsy.

The new Halloween Themed AIM magazine is now available. It is so fantastic with some many miniature ideas and projects. You can read it for free here, just click through the links.  http://artisansinminiature.com/
I have included my free printable page for the magazine, just right click on the image to save and print it on your computer if you like. I created this page using my collection of vintage Halloween memorabilia.

Have a wonderful Hallow's Eve!!

Quarter Scale 1:48 Halloween and Autumn Laser Cut heavier Paper Accessory Decor items.

I have been having a terrific time designing new 1:48 or Quarter Scale paper laser cut Halloween decor items. So much fun to think of all the different items customers might like to use in an indoor or outdoor Halloween scene. It would be great to see these skeletons etc on an out door Autumn porch or used for a Halloween party. These are available on my website and in my Etsy shop, if you are interested in any of these you can access them through my links down the right side of my blog. 

Also recently finished that I will share soon are Nostalgic Christmas decor paper laser cut designs and doilies. I have designed them for the 1:48 Quarter Connection happening in November and Shelly's show in November as well. Hope to see you there.

Happy Halloween, Scrapbooking for Halloween too!

 

I've been having so much fun creating scrapbooking pages using commercial papers and my digital downloads of altered art I have been making that I enjoy selling on Etsy. I've been doing digital scrapbooking for a number of years but I hadn't tried real scrapbooking very much until a dear friend of mine invited me over with a small group to do scrapbooking at her house. The first week we made a gift card. This time we did Halloween themed scrapbooking so I bought these small backing papers. It was a wonderful time and she showed us many of the techniques she had learned on line and through experimenting. It is really nice to use old lace I've had for a long time and bits of odds and ends to make these pages. Everyone in the group supplied things. The pages are not the traditional size but just 6" x 6". I really like working in this size (closer to miniature) and hope to attach the pages together, probably with a hole punch and ring or I could make covers from the heavy board which might be more interesting.

The background papers were from a company called Authentique  http://www.authentiquepaper.com

The pad of 48 papers was called "Glowing".  The diamond paper went with my diamonds I added to the background of my altered art witch. Also found the damask paper went perfectly with the damask table cloth of my Mad Hatter altered art. The Mad Hatter was from an antique 1863 photo. I did not change the table cloth but just lightened it up a bit. I thought the table cloth was an amazing design for 1863. The music background also was funl with the haunted houses, I can just hear the music that would be coming from them...

For some of the small signs I used a paper from a Martha Stewart Halloween collection. The wonderful ribbons were supplied by my friend who had so many things for us to use. All of the papers are printed on the backside as well so it means I could add more scraps to the back of the papers too.

I reduced the sizes of my digital downloads for this project from over 5" to about 3" in height and printed them on glossy inkjet photo paper. I first tried the watercolor paper on the laser printer but because of all the dark colours I found that the colour was rubbing off and white was starting to show through. The photo paper worked fabulously.

Have a wonderful Halloween, Hugs, Jean
