I’m so excited to be part of the Seasons of Fall YouTube Hop! Each participant had the option of doing Thanksgiving or Halloween projects, and I chose Halloween. I immediately fell in LOVE with these C.C. Designs adorable kiddies dressed up in Halloween costumes from the C.C. Designs Monster Mash<\/a><\/span> and Creepy Crawlies (retired) Stamp Sets, but haven’t had a chance to ink them up (and they were released in 2016! – oh the shame!).<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

So the first thing I did was Copic color up all the kids, starting with the skin and hair. I did them in two batches, repeating the little witch because I wanted to try her with two different skin tones.
\nC.C. Designs Monster Mash<\/span>: Skin: E000, E00, E01, R20 for blush, W5 for inside mouth, and R35 for tongues
\nMummy: W0, W1, W3 Y21; and YR31, YR21 and YR24 for hair
\nDracula: C0, C6, C7, C9, C10, Y17, R35, R39; and E55, E57 and E59 for hair
\nWitch: V12, V06, V15, V09; Y26, YR24, C7 and C9 for boots; Y26, YR24, E57 and E59 for broom; and B01, C4, C6, C8 and C9 for hair
\nWitch with Green Skin: same as above, except skin is: G20, G40, and G43<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

C.C. Designs Creepy Crawlies<\/span>: Skin: E50, E51, E53, R20 for blush, W5 for inside mouth, and R35 for tongues
\nSkeleton: N0, N5, N7 and N9; YR31, YR21, YR24, and E59 for hair
\nTaruntula: W0, YR04, YR07, W7, W9; E97, E99, E29 and R35 for hair
\nBat: R30 ears, B41, B91, BV20, BV23, BV25;\u00a0YR31, YR21, YR24, and E57 for hair<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Then I fussy cut them all out using my favorite Fiskars Reverse Spring Loaded Scissors<\/a><\/span> and inked the edges with a Momento Tuxedo Black Marker<\/a><\/span> for a clean finished look. For a day or so I was a bit stumped as to what to do with all these cuties until I decided to just mount them on some tags; they can now be used for gift tags or strung together they can form a festive Halloween banner! I used the Diemond Dies Nesting Tags Die Set<\/a><\/span> to cut up some cream, black and patterned papers are from an old American Crafts Night Fall paper stack\u00a0to create layered tags.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

To create proper reinforced holes at the tops of all the tag\/pennants, I used my We R Memory Keepers Crop-A-Dile Tool<\/a><\/span> and some We R Memory Keepers Standard 3\/16″ Eyelets<\/a><\/span> in gunmetal (for the black matted tags) and gold (for the cream matted tags). To embellish the tags\/pennants, I used my trusty Craft-Dee-BowZ Tool<\/a><\/span> to make cream seam binding and black lace double loop bows, poking metal Halloween brads from the Little Yellow Bicycle “Frightful Collection”<\/a><\/span> through the centers. Then I popped up all the costumed cuties onto the tags with thick foam dots for some dimension.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

To create the tag hanging loops and the streamer base for the banner, I used left over cream seam binding, black lace, black and orange baker’s twine, and black and white baker’s twine. I really like the gathered\/collected look and the added texture these pieces lend the project.\u00a0Lastly, I added some champagne and orange gems to the cream-backed tags and some black and silver glittered enamel dots to the black-backed tags to add some sparkle, shine and magic.<\/p>\n
