Hallo(DEX)ween Collaboration!

Hello! Tina Walker here today with my latest StencilGirl® Collaboration Column post!

In celebration of my favorite holiday of the year - HALLOWEEN - we are bringing you dimensional, trendy, and totally cool projects.  We are using a 3-D, rolodex inspired idea, which we call 'in(DEX)ed', and stencil-fying it!  I can't believe this is my first StencilGirl® Halloween themed collaboration, but I am positive, you will love it!

The concept of in(DEX)ed was born from a collaborative think-tank session with my dear friend DeeDee Catron, owner of UmWowStudio. We wanted a 3 - D approach to journaling combined with the trendy rolodex card and icad challenges.  in(DEX)ed is the perfect platform for creating super cool, creepy, and wicked Halloween dimensional art - so I thought it would be fun to do a collaboration with it.

Each participant received a range of in(DEX)ed core products + a variety of other Halloween chipboard.  They were allowed to create any halloween themed projects, using a variety of stencils + whatever they may have in their stash.

Let's check out these ONE OF A KIND, INCREDIBLY CREEPY, and FANTASTICALLY GHOULISH TRAYS!

I am in complete awe of Ann's indexed tray.  It is so striking, beautiful, and unique!  It has such a vintage, retro vibe, but fresh at the same time.  In love!!

Aren't they the spookiest, creepiest, and most amazing Halloween projects?  I love them all!  Can you image one of these trays with Christmas themed cards?  Oh my!  I might have to add that to my list of to-makes!

Before we go, let's take a look at my Hallo(DEX)ween tray.  I used a new, unique, and one-of-a-kind tray, we call 'the double-wide', just for this project. (If you scroll up and check out DeeDee's again, you'll notice she used the double-wide as well.  We developed this new tray especially for our in(DEX)ed kit, and I just had to use it for my StencilGirl® Halloween Tray.

I'll share close-ups of some of my favorite cards.

and some of the special trays I created.

For this tray, I custom-made a dimension 'window' using a modeling paste on vellum, and 2 zombie chipboard pieces inside.  I placed a mini light inside the 'window' for a night-time, spooky look.

This card features another custom-made 'mini book', using stenciled gelli prints for the pages.  

My last special card is another book.  I call this a flip book and it is so versatile.  Inside is a stenciled image (using watercolors), and embellished with fabric.  This is one of my favorite cards in the entire tray.

And my finished Hallo(DEX)ween tray!
