Craft: Halloween Wedding Signage

My sister got married on Halloween this year.  She asked me to make some signs for the wedding and she didn't want cute ones, she wanted scary ones so here's what I came up with.  All of the signs are 11"x 17".

Craft: Disney UP Themed Wedding, Part 3 Other Decorations

I made 12 little altoid tin suitcases.  I used the handles and buckles from Tim Holtz.  I made little folded paper dresses and shirt & ties to go in them.  For the gift bags, I made larger paper dresses and added them to gift bags.  I made all the invitation and reply card envelopes using plain paper that I inked with balloons.

Craft: Disney UP Themed Wedding, Part 2, Big UP House

 

Here's the views of the house that I made at 200% from the little UP houses.   It was approximately 14"x16"x 20".  I mounted the paper to foam core and hot glued the sides.  The house was from darcyeprevost.com.

Craft: Disney UP Themed Wedding Part 1, Little Houses

My daughter was having a Disney UP themed wedding.  I started looking around for some thing I could make for center pieces and found these from darcyeprevost.com.  I made 5 houses.  They are on a paper bowl base that I added a whole bunch of punch flowers.  The balloons were crepe paper covered batting that I hot glued to a straw.

Costume: Steampunk Explorer

I found the blogger on youtube call Lost Wax and he's awesome.  I bought his steampunk hat pattern and it was great.  Easy to follow directions and lot's of sizes.  The top hat turned out great. 

I used craft foam and decorative dots to make the hats.  It took about 3 coats of spray paint to make sure all the nooks and crannies were covered.

These are the bracers I made out of pleather, gears, gromets, and compasses.

I steampunked some preschool binoculars we've had for about 20 years.

His jet pack is an orange juice container, 2 soda bottles, 2 snow cone cups, a tuna can, and some gears and tubing.

Used up some material I've had for about 15 years, a scarf no one had ever used, added the goggles that we found to the hat and he's a pretty cool steampunk explorer!

Craft: 4th of July Swag

I decided I wanted to have some July 4th decorations but I didn't want to go buy anything.  So I raided by red, white, and blue paper and went to town making stars.  I really liked how everything turned out and now I'm set for the next 4th.

Cards: Need to Find My Flight

I've gotten into card making this year and am really enjoying it.
Here's a card I made for my mom.  She was coming to visit and wanted to know what her seat number was for her flight.  We hadn't reserved a seat so I had to call and reserve one.  Every time she would call, I'd realized I hadn't reserved her seat yet.  When I finally did, I made a card to let her know:
