Halloween Wood Panels with Safari animals

Hello and Happy Friday!

Tina here today with a fun Halloween project!

Halloween is my favorite holiday and I ALWAYS love creating projects for it!  I love the colors, the themes, and fall in general.  I had been racking my brain for a way to use the adorable animal chipboard pieces, when it hit me!  Why not create a whimsical Halloween project, embellishing them for the season.

To begin, I built texture on a wood panel, using the Hexagon Confetti mask and embossing paste.  I added several shades of Shimmerz sprays, letting them pool around the embossed areas.

To create my fun little animal chipboards, I added several shades of Distress paints and Shimmerz paints for color.  Once they were dry, I added a layer of crackle paint.  To add more vintage goodness, I added Distress stain to each piece, letting the stain seep into the cracks.

Animal Chips used:
Hippo
Rhino 

I added more chipboard pieces and paper embellishments to each panel to complete my mini Halloween scene.

Chips used:
Grid Border
Layered Pumpkins

I would LOVE to see what you create with the fun and whimsical animal chipboard pieces!  Please share them with us!

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a great day!

Quick and simple with UmWowStudio {12x12 layouts by Kylie}

Happy Monday! It's Kylie here with some quick, simple layouts using some of my favourite UmWowStudio embellishments. While scrapbooking is a great creative outlet, sometimes I just want to get the memories down on paper. I challenged myself to scrap a couple of quick pages and Imanaged to do both of the layouts below in under 20 minutes each.

The first layout is of my daughter riding her Dad's shoulders at Boo at the Zoo. I used UmWowStudio Boo flair, Layered Pumpkin and Star Confetti chipboard and the @ sign is from the Symbol Mash.

 

Other products used on this layout include Kraft Ouchless Cardboard from Gauche Alchemy, Maya Rd journaling spot, Thickers letters, Making Memories paint, ribbon from my stash and the lion is from Sassafras.

The idea for this next layout has been floating around in my head ever since the UmWowStudio Spooky Branch arrived in my mailbox. And I'm REALLY happy about how it turned out. The pictures are of my brother and his kids on Mother's Day last year (these were taken in New Zealand, so it was Fall there). The 'leaves' on the branches are Heart Confetti and Layered Hearts. I think this would work really well with the new UmWowStudio Layered Leaves, Medium Leaf Confetti and Leaf Confetti too.

 And a couple of close-ups of my tree, cos you know, I think it's awesome......

The other products used on this layout are Thickers letters and Bazzil cardstock.

Have a great week! And don't forget the UmWowStudio and Authentique Challenge that is running through the month of November.

First up is Kylie Drake with {wonder}

Products used: Authentique Curiosity 6x6 paper bundle. UWS Chipboard Cemetery Fence, Bat confetti, Layered pumpkins and Layered Banners. UWS Circle Confetti Mask. UWS Sidewalk Chalk Flair and Twinery Twine. 

Kylie says: I loved the Curiosity line from Authentique and almost called this layout "Curiosity", but Halloween was truly a wonder for my little girl this year. She had an absolute blast at Boo at the Zoo and then again Trick or Treating. The Curiosity paper perfectly complemented this photo and the message I was trying to portray in the layout. I loved how I was able to use one of the curiosity die cuts on the banner and the monkey from the Abc patterned paper. My favourite element is the tri-layered pumpkin in the bottom right hand corner.

And next we have Miae Rowe with Street Food:

Miae used the Joyous Collection by Authentique, as well as Heart Confetti and Polaroid Mash from UmWowStudio.

Miae says: "I'm not quite ready for Christmas yet! So I decided to use my Christmas paper for a non-Christmas layout. The polaroid frame turned out to be quite handy for bringing the focus to the title in pattern heavy page :)."

Now! Hope over to the Authentique Blog and then get to making your OWN papercraft using Authentique + UmWowStudio to win a prize package full of both!
