Halloween

You might think you don’t have much time left to make Halloween artwork, but I’ve been noticing that Halloween is popular all year. But since Halloween supplies are available for me to find much easier this time of year…

Art Doll Quarterly Magazine
All is not sweetness and light in this issue. Wonderful Halloween spooks fill the pages of the Fall issue.

Skeleton Slides Collage Sheet
I designed this sheet for a variety of sizes, from ATCs to inchies and slides. Quite a few black cats have wandered in, too. And see the larger sample at left of one of the images (from an amazing calendar from 1900).

Just for Laughs Collage Sheet
Funny, nostalgic, and odd clowns. By Altered By Design.

Boys Night Out Collage Sheet
Dogs in clothes. Some very stylish clothes. Another sheet by Altered By Design.

Deviant Moon Tarot
Wow, what a gorgeous deck. Artwork by Patrick Valenza. Dark stylized imagery of jesters and moon-faced characters, against backgrounds created from manipulated photographs of 18th century tombstones. Every card is illustrated.

Tiny Pewter Skull Beads
Tiny. Lead-free pewter. Hole is vertical. Approx. 5/16″ tall.

Argyle Spellbound Double-Sided Scrapbook Paper
Really… argyle. But with skulls. The green/black polka dots on the back side work nicely with the polka dots on the Utensils paper from the last newsletter.

Chunky Little Bottles
Heavy glass for a vintage look. Corks included. The bottle is approx. 1-3/4″ tall. The square sides are slighly concave. The label shown is from the Skeleton Slides Collage Sheet (printed on clear sticker stock).

Scalloped Grosgrain Ribbons
A beautiful vintage reproduction. Good texture. 3 color options (a beautiful dark red in addition to the ones shown here).

Christmas

Christmas Gnomes Collage Sheet
Adorable little Santas wrapping and delivering gifts. And used by Frieda in the ornament at right.

Round Madonna Rubber Stamp
A collage using a beautiful painting from the early Renaissance. A color image from the same source is on the Marigold collage sheet.

Nostalgic Christmas Rub-Ons Swatch Book
Pack includes twenty-eight 2-1/2″ x 6-1/2″ sheets of rub-ons. 233 designs (background text, greetings, Christmas trees, Santa Claus, holly, snowflakes…).

Red Scallop Velvet Ribbon
1/2″ Wide. Soft and fuzzy.

More Ribbons

Copper/Black Brocade Ribbon
Not a metallic copper, but copper-color yarns woven into the ribbon (which is what makes it a brocade).

Burgundy with Gold Soutache Ribbon
The gold “diamonds” are metallic soutache (raised from the burgundy background). Almost 1″ wide (24mm).

Dresden

Green Ivy Dresden
Matte finished and embossed (and thicker paper than some of the metallic scraps). Each of the 4 branches is 6″ long (the largest of the individual ivy leaves are approx. 3/4″ long).

Smaller Gold Keyhole Dresden
3/8″ X 1″; 38 pieces per sheet. Similar to the Copper Keyholes we already carry.

Metal Charms & Embellishments

Pewter Starfish Charms
Beautifully detailed. A tiny bit under 1/2″ wide. Lead-free pewter.

Set of Large Crown Brads
Large, 3D brads in antique gold color. Sets of 6. Includes 2 Fleur de Lys brads.

Keys
3 antique pewter colored or antique brass colored metal keys per set. The largest is just under 2″ long.


 
Clear Stamps

Time Flies Clear Stamp Set
A small set of background text, a few medium-sized words, wings, and a vintage clock (the clock is 7/8″ wide).

Created by Hand Clear Stamp Set
A small set of text & flourishes to stamp on the back of your creations before you sign them.

This & That

Black Die-Cut, Self-Adhesive Felt
2 design options. Approx 3″ wide (by 1 yard per package — pre-cut into three 12″ lengths). Dancing women (on a leafy trellis) or birds on a leafy swirl.

Tickets Rub-Ons
Could be perfect for a collage with some of those clown images earlier in this newsletter.
3-5/8″ x 10-7/8″ sheet.

Travel Essentials Rub-Ons Swatch Book
Similar size as the Christmas swatch book above. Pack includes twenty-eight 2-1/2″x 6-1/2″ sheets of rub-ons. 244 designs (compasses, text, road signs, cameras, binoculars, postmarks…).

Darker Gold Glimmer Mist
Glimmer Mists are quick and easy spray bottles that deliver just a touch of glimmer in a fine mist to make all of your projects shine.

Strings & Things Kit
3 button string closures (adhesive backed, but you can also put a full-size brad through the center to more securely fasten it), 3 elastics, 3 wax strings. The round buttons are double (so adhering the back one will not interfere with the strings working).

Vamp Stamp News – October Issue
The October issue has a product review of the new Claudine Hellmuth Signature Line. There are also articles on using repeated images and comparing clear stamps, cling-mounted stamps, EZ Mount, Tack ‘N Peel & InstaGrip.

Black & Gold Deco Micro Marbles
Kind of like glitter (or beads without holes).

Fancy Grey Shoe Buttons
A beautiful lot of dead stock (never used from store stock). Pearly dark grey color. They are antique so some of the shanks are rusted or corroded. 50 buttons. The buttons have metal shanks, are packaged in a medium jeweler’s tin (glass lid; 1-7/8″ diameter), and are over 100 years old. Very limited quantities.
