Since it's probably been delivered, its time to post the narrative for the Halloween Planner Page.
First - I've owned the Spellbinder's die cut of the little black Tiki god and Tiki torches for FOREVER. I always thought I'd use them for Halloween even though they came paired with tropical flowers. Then last year, while bored and browsing through TEMU I found a set of Tiki stencils. The stencil set has a dozen or so faces, but I used the one that best matched the die cut. Then it was time to play with my Geli Arts tools and monoprint those Tiki faces onto glycine paper. I'm not sure that was the best plan, but it's what happened. The paint on the glycine is a bit crispy, and I'm concerned it won't have the staying power needed for something that gets used in a planner. But its done. Fingers crossed.
Each page will have a different look to the Tiki face as that is the nature of Mono printing. Some are ghost prints, making the image lighter but still there, some are multicolored, some are dark, some light. What you pull from the geli pad is never certain until you pull it and turn it over. That's what makes it so fun!
The little Voodoo doll is from a set from Unity Stamps. I added elements with pins, because, well, it's a Voodoo doll. The 'Thinking of You' sentiment is funny. If you got one and are offended, stop it. It's FUNNY! Have you met me? Of course you have, that's why you're on the mailing list!
Flip this over to find a pocket with a Happy Halloween bookmark and the aforementioned die cuts. I used some glitter glue in the eye sockets and for the flames to help bring it up a notch. Each page has different Halloween Ephemera from Tim Holtz. I had a couple packs of that stuff laying around for a while now, so thought it was time to use it up. The third photo is a shot of a bunch of them drying after application of the glitter glue. You can zoom in and see more of the ephemera I used.
Lastly - a shot of the envelope seal. I bought a number of these from VistaPrint, for Christmas and for Halloween, both seals and return address labels. I'm disappointed in their ability to actually seal the envelope. Hence the extra tape you'll find holding down the flap. Notable - if you ever do a big mailing, for Christmas or a wedding etc, get everything done and ready for the post office, but hang onto it for a couple of days. If something isn't going to stick, you want to know it before it comes unstuck during processing.
That's it! Happy Halloween, 2024. On to Christmas cards. Woot!
