Stampin’ Up! Spooky Halloween Card

Good Morning! Are you ready for Halloween? The Stampin’ Up! Spooky Halloween bundle is such a cute set for Halloween and I’m using it with the Celebratory Sips designer series paper to make a Halloween card. You can find the card stock cuts along with the supplies at the bottom of my post.

Adhere a strip of Secret Sea Celebratory Sips DSP to a striped Timid Tiger panel with liquid glue and adhere them both to the light side of a Timid Tiger two-tone card stock mat. Adhere the layered DSP to the front of a Timid Tiger card base with liquid glue.

Cut the haunted house from Secret Sea card stock using the die from the Stampin’ Up! Spooky Halloween dies. Fussy cut a Daffodil Delight panel to cover the back of the die cut holes and adhere it to the back of the house. Use blending brushes to apply Granny Apple Green, Daffodil Delight, Timid Tiger, Berry Burst and Secret Sea inks to a Basic White panel. This makes a simple outdoor sunset background. Stamp the bats in the corner using Secret Sea ink. Adhere the blended panel to a Secret Sea mat and adhere the layered panel to the card front.

Adhere the haunted house to the blended panel with dimensionals. Use the bare tree die from the Loveliest Tree dies to cut an Early Espresso panel and adhere it next to the house. Stamp the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Spooky Halloween stamp set using Granny Apple Green ink on Basic White and cut it out using the Stylish Shapes banner die. Adhere the label with dimensionals and finish with tiny white glitter stars.

For the inside panel, stamp the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Spooky Halloween stamp set using Timid Tiger ink on a Basic White panel. Stamp the bats in Secret Sea and adhere DSP to the bottom. Adhere the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The haunted house from the Stampin’ Up! Spooky Halloween dies is just wonderful (along with the rest of the stamps and dies in the great little bundle)! But did you ever think the Celebratory Sips DSP could be used for a Halloween card? The Timid Tiger stripes make a perfect backdrop. And I love to do blended nighttime backgrounds with a haunted house for Halloween card. This one was super simple!

Thanks so much for stopping by and Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Spooky Halloween No Tricks Card

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Spooky Halloween bundle is such a cute set for Halloween. Unfortunately, I did not get the seriously cute Spooky Sweet specialty designer series paper to go with it, so I paired it with some retired Cute Halloween 6″ x 6″ DSP from a few years back that I had in my stash. You can find the card stock cuts along with the supplies at the bottom of my post.

Adhere a Pumpkin Pie panel of DSP to a Basic Black mat and adhere it to a Basic Gray patterned panel of DSP. Adhere the layered DSP to another Basic Black mat and then to the front of a Basic Gray card base.

Stamp the cute kitty and puppy from the Stampin’ Up! Spooky Halloween stamp set on Basic White using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. Color the kitty with light Gray Granite, dark Highland Heather, dark Pumpkin Pie and light Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends. Color the nose and ears with the light Petal Pink Stampin’ Blend. Color the puppy with the light Crumb Cake, light Pecan Pie, light Granny Apple Green and dark Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blends. Cut them out with the coordinating dies Cut the fence and bats from Basic Black and adhere the fence to the card with liquid glue.

Adhere the kitty and puppy to the card with dimensionals. Stamp the broom and pumpkin from the Stampin’ Up! Spooky Halloween stamp set using Memento Tuxedo Black ink and color them with Pumpkin Pie and Pecan Pie Stampin’ Blends. Cut them out with the coordinating dies and adhere them to the card using dimensionals and glue dots. Stamp the sentiment using Versamark ink on Basic Black and sprinkle it with white embossing powder. Heat set the powder and trim the ends with the Happy Labels Pick A Punch. Adhere the label and die cut bats to the card with dimensionals and finish with Sparkle foam stars.

For the inside panel, stamp the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Spooky Halloween stamp set using Pumpkin Pie ink on a Basic White panel. Stamp the bats in Memento Tuxedo Black and adhere DSP to the bottom. Adhere the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

Even without the coordinating DSP the card was fun to make and is so cute because of the wonderful critters from the Stampin’ Up! Spooky Halloween bundle. I love the Halloween costumes!! The sentiments in the set are great too, along with the accent stamps and dies. It’s a great fun Halloween set!

Thanks so much for stopping by and Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! Haunted Home Kit for the Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop

Good Morning! Welcome to the September Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop! The theme for this month’s hop is “Halloween” and one of the coolest Halloween ideas from last year is the Stampin’ Up! Haunted Halloween kit. It sold out quickly last year, but it’s back in stock (YAY!!) and I finally got the chance to put it together – It’s so cute!

Here’s my results and I pretty much followed the instructions that come with the kit and the instructional video on YouTube. I did supply my own hot glue gun which I used to assemble the house and roof.

Here’s the instructional video put together by Stampin’ Up!. I found it VERY beneficial to watch the video before and during assembly, especially since the roof is a bit tricky. It’s been a while since I’ve used a hot glue gun, so I was especially cautious at first. There was a little difference between the instructions and the video, so having both on hand was helpful.

Here’s one of the sides. The house is made of corrugated paper and the bats, trees and fence are made of chipboard. The accent pieces are card stock and vellum. Tear & Tape, glue dots and black dimensionals are included to adhere the accents.

Here’s the other side. When adhering the windows, make sure the shiny side of the vellum shows on the outside, and the center window over the door is shorter than the first floor windows. So it’s perfect for the chandelier and shutters. And the silver skull door knocker is totally awesome!

The house has four sides and is open on the bottom. The side walls have no windows, but there are three more in the back. So, I used multicolor LED tea lights to illuminate the windows (one behind each window).

I think it would also be perfect to add additional spooky touches from die cuts or embellishments you have in your stash. Like we still need a witch, broom, skeleton, graveyard and monsters. So have fun and go all out. It’s a fun project with great results!

Stampin’ Up! Choose Happy for the Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop

Good Morning! Welcome to the September Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop! The theme for this month’s hop is “Halloween Fun” and I used the sweet Stampin’ Up! Choose Happy stamp set along with the Frosted Forest dies to create a spooky Halloween scene. You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

I adhered a panel of Flowering Zinnias designer series paper to the front of a Pumpkin Pie card base with liquid glue. I cut a mask of the moon using the third smallest circle die from the Stylish shapes dies and adhered the background to a Basic White panel. I used a sponge dauber to apply Lemon Lolly ink to the open circle to make the moon. I removed the mask and covered the moon with the die cut circle. I tore a piece of printer paper and covered the top of the panel and applied Mossy Meadow ink to the bottom edge with a sponge dauber to color the ground. I removed the printer paper and used the other panel cover the ground so I could color the sky.

For the sky, I carefully applied a thin layer of Pumpkin Pie ink next to the ground and colored the rest of the sky lightly with Balmy Blue ink. I used another sponge dauber to apply Blueberry Bushel ink to darken the sky and finally applied Night of Navy ink to intensify the color until I got the look I wanted. I spritzed some water over the sky and blotted it with a paper towel. I removed the mask covering the moon and adhered the panel to a Basic Black mat.

I stamped four pumpkins from the Stampin’ Up! Choose Happy stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Basic White. I colored them with Mossy Meadow and Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blends. I stamped Jack-O-Lantern faces on two pumpkins and fussy cut them with my paper snips. I used a Basic Black Stampin’ Write marker to color the edges of the card stock, so the white would not show. I used the bare tree die from the Frosted Forest dies to cut a Basic Black panel and adhered the trees to the background with tiny dots of liquid glue.

I arranged the pumpkins on the panel and stamped the ‘Boo‘ sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Choose Happy stamp set using Memento tuxedo Black ink. I adhered the pumpkins to the panel with dimensionals and adhered the panel to the card front with more dimensionals. I wrapped the top of the card with black baker’s twine, making a bow and added black sparkle dots to the trees.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the ‘happy‘ sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Choose Happy stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on a Basic White panel. I used the Mini Alphabet dies to cut letters to spell ‘Halloween‘ from Pumpkin Pie card stock and adhered them with liquid glue. I adhered the Jack-O-Lantern, trimmed the bottom with DSP and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

I haven’t done a sponged night scene in a long time, and it was fun to go back to an old technique. This was the first time that I’ve spritzed it with water, and I love how it came out. There are so many Stampin’ Up! dies (and stamp sets) that could be used with this old school technique, and the beauty is that because it’s made by hand, the sky will be different and unique every time!

Stampin’ Up! Bag Of Bones Halloween Card

Good Morning! Tomorrow is Halloween – are you ready? I picked up my candy this weekend so I’m set. I’m so glad that we still get trick-or-treaters! So I pulled out the fun Stampin’ Up! Bag of Bones bundle and the Them Bones designer series paper to make a final Halloween card for the season. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I used the pretty sketch in the Freshly Made Sketches 609.

I adhered a Cajun Craze skeleton panel of Them Bones designer series paper to a Basic Black Panel with liquid glue. I adhered a plaid panel on top with liquid glue – doesn’t this look like bats! I used the Banners Pick A Punch to trim the ends of 2 strips of DSP and adhered them to the panel. I wrapped the panel twice with black baker’s twine and popped it on the front of a Basic Black card base with dimensionals.

I cut three skeletons, a person, cat and dog using the Stampin’ Up! Bag of Bones dies from the Them Bones DSP and used black dimensionals to pop them on the card front. Isn’t it great to have black dimensionals? They’re perfect for these dark intricate die cuts!

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Bag of Bones photopolymer stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Basic White. I cut the label out with second largest circle die from the Reach for the Stars dies. These dies are perfect for cutting out planets as well as nested circles – check them out. I adhered the label to the card with liquid glue and finished with gray matte dots.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Bag of Bones stamp set in Cajun Craze ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the three bats in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and adhered a strip of DSP to the bottom. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

Skeletons and bats are perfect for Halloween and the Stampin’ Up! Bag of Bones bundle is one of the cutest sets ever. And when paired with the fun Them Bones designer series paper, it makes Halloween crafting easy as well as fun.

Stampin’ Up! Bag of Bones for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! The Stampin’ Up! Bag Of Bones bundle is a fun Halloween theme stamp and die bundle that has the best skeleton stamps and dies for a Haunted Halloween. I paired this bundle with the wonderful Them Bones designer series paper for a card depicting a spooky night of fun. You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.

We have a theme challenge this week and and I chose Halloween:

I adhered a panel of the night time graveyard Them Bones designer series paper to the front of a Starry Sky card base. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Bag Of Bones photopolymer stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Pumpkin Pie and cut it out with the second smallest banner from the Nested Essentials dies. I adhered it to the card with liquid glue.

I cut a skeleton from the Them Bones designer series paper with the Stampin’ Up! Bag Of Bones dies. I cut the cowboy hat and boots from Crumb Cake and adhered them to the skeleton with liquid glue and adhered the skeleton to the card front with pieces of dimensionals.

I use the cat and dog skeleton dies to cut skeletons from the Them Bones designer series paper and adhered them to the card front with liquid glue. I finished the card front with glow in the dark bats.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Bag Of Bones stamp set in Cajun Craze ink on Basic White. I stamped the bats in Memento Tuxedo Black and trimmed the bottom with a strip of DSP. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

Thanks to the coordination between the dies in the Stampin’ Up! Bag Of Bones bundle and the Them Bones designer series paper, this card came together pretty quickly! Alternatively, when I finish cutting the skeleton images from the DSP, I can stamp them and cut them out with the dies. So this is going to provide Halloween crafting fun for a long time!

Stampin’ Up! Bag of Bones Halloween Note Cards for the Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop

Good Morning! Welcome to the September Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop! The theme for this month’s hop is “Halloween Fun” and the Stampin’ Up! Bag of Bones bundle fits the bill perfectly with all the skeletons and costumes! And I used the bundle with the fun Them Bones designer series paper and Basic White Note Cards and Envelopes to make a simple set of note cards. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post and I included the card stock cuts in the description of each card

One of the designs in the Them Bones DSP pack is a multi panel sheet with cute backgrounds that I cut up and adhered to the front of a Basic White note card. I then decorated it with the wonderful glow in the dark embellishments and designer series paper die cuts – yes the Stampin’ Up! Bag of Bones dies can be used to cut out the DSP! Here are the note cards that I made.

Here is the multiple panel sheet of Them Bones designer series paper. I started by cutting each panel out with my paper trimmer. One of the coolest things about this DSP is that the houndstooth like plaid pattern is actually little bats and they match one of the little bat stamps!

For the first card, I trimmed the ‘Boo‘ panel to 2-3/4″ x 4″ and adhered it to a Starry Sky striped 3″ x 4-1/4″ panel before adhering it to the front of the note card. I decorated it with some glow in the dark bat embellishments and stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Bag of Bones stamp set in Starry Sky ink on the inside.

For this card, I cut the fence panel in half and used the right side with the moon, trimming it to 3″ x 4-3/4″ before adhering it to the note card. I die cut a skeleton dog and cat from another panel of the DSP and adhered to the card. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Bag of Bones stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on a 1-1/2″ x 1-1/2″ Pumpkin Pie panel and cut it out with the second largest banner from the Nested Essentials dies. I adhered it to the card and finished it with glow in the dark bats and ghosts. I stamped bats in Memento Tuxedo Black the top corner of the inside.

I trimmed the spotlight panel to 3″ x 4-1/2″ and adhered it to the front of a note card. I used the Stampin’ Up! Bag of Bones skeleton die to cut a DSP skeleton and adhered it to the panel. I stamped the sentiment in Memento Tuxedo Black on Pumpkin Pie and cut it out with the second smallest circle from the Stylish Shapes dies. I ahdered it to the card and finished with glow in the dark ghosts. I stamped bats in the top corner of the inside and found half a skeleton at the bottom of the DSP and cut it out to adhere to the bottom corner.

I fussy cut some gravestones from a pannel of Them Bones DSP and adhered it to the left side of the fence panel that I split. I should have picked up some glow in the dark paper (it’s expected to be back in stock at the beginning of October), but I didn’t. So I used the moon and stars die from the Stampin’ Up! Bag of Bones dies to cut a 1-1/2″ x 1-1/2″ panel of white Textured Shimmer paper (I remembered to put adhesive sheets behind it first). I adhered the decorated panel to a note card and finished it with glow in the dark ghosts. I stamped the sentiment in Memento Tuxedo Black on the inside and adhered another fussy cut gravestone to the bottom.

This was the easiest – I trimmed the ‘Trick or Treat‘ panel to 3″ x 4-1/2″, adhered it to the front of a note card and adhered some glow in the dark bats. I stamped some bats on the inside and decided to use the Mini Pocket Envelope dies to make a gift card pocked with a 4-3/4″ x 5-3/4″ DSP panel. This make quick fun gift card holder – definitely a treat!

No, this was the easiest. I trimmed the cat and gravestone panel to 3″ x 4-1/2″ and adhered it to the front of a note card. I adhered glow in the dark bats and a ghost to the front and stamped the sentiment in Pumpkin Pie on the inside. My stamp pad needs re-inking, so the color is uneven, but it goes with the ghostly Halloween theme!

See how great those glow in the dark embellishments work?

These note cards were such a fun project and would be great for quick greetings or gifts for co-workers, friends and family. This would also be a fun project to make with children!

Stampin’ Up! Scary Cute for the Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop

Good morning! Welcome to the September Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop! The theme for this month’s hop is “Halloween Fun” and I am using the wonderful Stampin’ Up! Scary Cute bundle for my Halloween Card. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I cut a fishtail bottom on a panel of Celebrate Everything designer series paper to make a banner and adhered it to the front of a Rich Razzleberry card base.

I used blending brushes to create the background for the haunted house. I applied Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie, Rich Razzleberry and Night of Navy in layers building up the sky. I cut a mask for the hills and used it to cover the sky and applied Mossy Meadow ink with a blending brush to the bottom for the ground. I cut it out with the outline frame die from the Stampin’ Up! Scary Cute bundle. I cut out the haunted house from Basic Black and the moon from So Saffron and adhered them to the blended background die cut with liquid glue. I cut the frame from Basic Black and adhered it to the background with black dimensionals.

I adhered the little scene to the card front with liquid glue. I cut the bats from the Stampin’ Up! Scary Cute bundle from Basic Black and adhered three of them to the card front.

I wrapped the card front twice with black baker’s twine and made a bow. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Scary Cute cling stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Basic White and adhered it over the baker’s twine with black dimensionals.

For the inside of the card, I stamped little trick or treaters from the Stampin’ Up! Scary Cute stamp set in Rick Razzleberry ink on the bottom of a Basic White panel. I stamped the moon in Daffodil Delight and the sentiment in Memento Tuxedo Black. I adhered the rest of the bats with liquid glue and trimmed the bottom with a strip of Celebrate Everything DSP. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card.

The Stampin’ Up! Scary Cute bundle is such a cute and versatile Halloween set. The dies are wonderful, the trick or treater stamps are so cute in their costumes and the sentiments are perfect! They’re great for cards, tags and treat bag decorations.

Stampin’ Up! Pretty Pillow Box Halloween Treat Holders

Good Morning! Tomorrow is Halloween and I am ready! Candy is bought, porch is decorated and I just finished these cute treat boxes made with the Stampin’ Up! Pretty Pillow Box Dies and Cute Halloween designer series paper. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I cut the panels of Cute Halloween designer series paper with the Stampin’ Up! Pretty Pillow Box die for each container. I used the cat punch from the Halloween punch to make thumb notches to make the boxes easy to open from the sides (see picture below). I folded the containers on the score lines and adhered the top flaps with a glue dot.

Then comes the fun part! These boxes are decorated with punched cat faces using the Halloween Punch and Cute Halloween DSP. I added tags die cut with the little tag die from the Stampin’ Up! Pretty Pillow Box dies from both card stock and DSP. I stamped sentiments from the Cutest Halloween stamp set on card stock tags.

I wrapped the boxes with twine or ribbon that coordinated with colors in the DSP and added iridescent star sequins to the flaps. Here is a pumpkin punched from the Cute Halloween DSP along side a stamped pumpkin made from the Cutest Halloween stamp set.

And the cute little ghosts from the Cute Halloween DSP – one is punched and one is fussy cut. Both sweet and so cute. And I used a blending brush with Pumpkin Pie ink to turn the black and white DSP to black and orange DSP.

Creating the little treat holders was easy and fun. The images in Cute Halloween designer series paper are perfect for Halloween Fun!

Stampin’ Up! Cutest Halloween Treat Yourself card

Good Morning! Are you ready for another Halloween card made with the Stampin’ Up! Cutest Halloween bundle? Today I used the sentiments from the stamp set and the punch along with the Stampin’ Up! Cute Halloween 6″ x 6″ designer series paper to make this cute little Halloween card. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I’m entering today’s card in a couple of challenges. First is the theme (Halloween) challenge in TGIF Challenges #TGIFC338

And of course, the pretty sketch challenge in the Global Design Project #314:

I embossed a panel of the black Cute Halloween 6″ x 6″ designer series paper with the Tasteful Textile 3D embossing folder. This paper is really cool, because it’s black, but has gray distressing, so it has a lot more character than plain black card stock. So after embossing, I adhered it to the front of a Basic Black card base.

I adhered another panel of Cute Halloween DSP to a Pumpkin Pie mat and die cut a third with the third largest layering circles die. I adhered the circle die cut to an Old Olive scalloped circle die cut and adhered the layered circle to the layered square with glue dots. I popped them both on the card front with dimennsionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Cutest Halloween photopolymer stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on a strip of Pumpkin Pie and cut it out with the die from the Tasteful Labels dies. I used the Halloween Punch to cut out three black cats, three jack-o-lanterns and three ghosts from the Cute Halloween DSP and adhered them together then adhered them to the card front with dimensionals. I adhered the label with a dimensional and glue dots and finished with a black and white twine bow.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Cutest Halloween stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on a Basic White panel. I punched out an additional black cat, ghost and jack-o-lantern and adhered them to the panel with liquid glue. I trimmed the bottom with another strip of cute Halloween DSP and adhered the panel to the inside of the card.

The sweet images and sentiments in the Stampin’ Up! Cutest Halloween bundle and the Cute Halloween 6″ x 6″ designer series paper are a fun way to celebrate the spookiness of Halloween. Are you ready for Halloween? It’s about 1-1/2 weeks away, so time is running out!
