When Spellbinders recently sent me some stickpins with corresponding dies and some new
embossing plates, I immediately chose to do a Halloween themed craft.
After all, ’tis the season!

I made a little witchy collage for the stickpin, and then a
Halloween tag to display the pin on. To get the creepy background look
on the tag, I embossed a plain manilla tag using the Artisan X-Plorer
embosser along with the “Poetry” embossing plate, and then lightly inked
the tag to highlight the embossed areas. I then layered the tag with
some Halloween papers and a couple of bats. What a great setting for my
stickpin! |
| To make the stickpin, I cut out a piece of orange
cardstock using the correct die. I found an image of a little girl, gave
her a witch’s hat cut from some scrapbook paper, and then embellished
it all with glitter and a couple of rhinestones. I outlined it all with
thin black edge stickers to make the image pop.
The stickpin is attached to the card with a removable glue dot, so
you can easily remove it for wear. It’s the perfect little Halloween
gift for your favorite witch or goblin! |

Recently, I’ve been doing a lot of playing with my Artisan X-Plorer, and it’s not been all about Halloween. I’ve made
stationery,
bookmarks, and different
stickpins
for every day wear, and they’re all posted on
Craftster! Check them out and find out how handy the Artisan X-Plorer is for all
your embossing and die-cutting needs.
