Instructions:
1. Cut 10 tombstones out of grey cardstock. Ink the edges with the distress ink. 
 2. For Tombstone #1, spray the front of the tombstone on an angle with the ink spray. Take the spider web stamp, stamp in an embossing stamp pad, stamp onto the tombstone and cover with embossing powder. Take the tombstone stamp and the small skull stamp, emboss the skull stamp, and cut out. Adhere with a foam square. Cut 3 different sizes and colors in the poison bottles. Ink the edges and cover each bottle with Glossy Accents.
3. For Tombstone #2, mist the front of the tombstone lightly with the ink spray. Take the tree stamp and emboss in black embossing powder. Choose 4 differing sizes of the glitter bat stickers and attach to the tombstone using small foam squares. Take the moon sticker and cut it to fit the tombstone. Using the smallest tombstone in the spellbinders pack, cut a tombstone, write RIP and ink the edges.
4. For Tombstone #3, use the script stamp and stamp all over the tombstone. Mist it with the three ink spray colors. Stamp Happy Halloween onto a piece of orange cardstock, cut out around the phrase, and adhere to the top of the tombstone. Stamp the mirror and cut it out. Cover the center oval of the mirror with the OMC metallic vinyl. Stamp the silhouetted head of the man, cut out and glue to the vinyl.
5. For Tombstone #4, mount the chipboard Eek piece to the tombstone, but cut off the top portion with the cat. Create the pumpkin using a punch. Ink the edges and attach to the tombstone. Use the large arsenic label, adhere to a piece of cardstock and create a scroll. Ink the edges and attach to the tombstone. Stamp a cat from the stamp set and emboss with black embossing powder.
6. For Tombstone #5, spray with black ink spray. Stamp and emboss the spider web twice. For the spiders, punch out two shapes in black cardstock. Use glossy Mod Podge to cover the spiders and sprinkle purple and black glitter over them. The Mod Podge will curl the spiders, giving them a dimensional look.

Autumn Wood Blocks Display

BoBunny : Apple Cider Collection Paper
OMC : Brown Vinyl
Stickles Glitter Glue : Lime Green, Cinnamon, Paprika
Mod Podge
Tim Holtz : Distress Ink Pad - Vintage Photo
Inksenntials Blending Foam Tool
 
Instructions:
1. Measure your paper slightly smaller than the length and width of your block. Cut out a piece of paper for each block.
2. Ink the edges of each paper with the distress ink and the foam blending tool.
3. Very carefully apply Mod Podge onto the block where the paper will go. Try hard not to go over the edge. On this project I wanted to keep the muted look of the block and not apply Mod Podge over the entire front of the paper. Depending on the look you want you could cover the paper with a coat of Mod Podge.
4. Apply your paper and press down firmly. Let dry
5. Cut out the letters you want using a font of your choice. I cut my letters out so that they would fill the space of the block.
6. Apply the letters to each block.
7. Find a small pattern in your paper and apply the Stickles to enhance and bring out the pattern in the paper. Let dry!
8. Now display!

EEK Wood Blocks

EEK Wood Blocks
Created by OMC Designer Jill

Supplies Used:

Adams and Co. : Wood Block Set
Tim Holtz : Mini Halloween 3 Stamp Set
Versamark : Dazzle Frost Ink Pad
American Crafts : Zing Embossing Powder - Silver
Ranger Ink : Stickles Dry Fine Glitter - Paprika, Black
Vinyl Lettering
Stickles Gliitter Glue : Purple, Lime Green, Black, RedEKSuccess : EK Tools - Tarantula Spider Large Punch

Instructions:
1. Using the Versamark ink pad and the Tim Holtz stamp, stamp on the corners of the block with the spider web and apply the embossing powder. Tap off the excess and emboss using a heat gun. I carefully removed any excess embossing powder with a tiny paint brush in places it should not be!
2. Cut out vinyl lettering the size and font you want to use. Pull out the letters and use the negative vinyl as a stencil! I applied the stencil with transfer tape as it was much easier than trying to apply it without it.
3. Press down firmly on the vinyl to make sure all edges are secure.
4. Paint a coat of Mod Podge over the vinyl and onto the cut out part of the letter. Be very careful not to coat over the sides at all, as you will be dumping glitter onto this and you don’t want to glitter on the sides.
5. Pour glitter on top of your block and press down into the Mod Podge. Let dry!
6. Once dry, carefully lift up your stencil and the glittered letter should be there!
7. Use the Stickles around the edge of each letter to add dimension.
8. Coat the front of the blocks with a matte clear coat to secure the glitter.
9. Punch out a few tarantula shapes, Use the black Stickles on their legs and backs and sprinkle some black dry fine glitter onto them. Use the red Stickles on the fangs. Let dry.
10. Display!
