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!

Stampin’ Up! Cutest Halloween Card

Good Morning! I hope you had a wonderful weekend. Can you believe that Halloween is only 3 weeks away? Time to get ready! The Stampin’ Up! Cutest Halloween bundle and the Cute Halloween 6″ x 6″ designer series paper are so sweet and I’ve used them on a Halloween Card for for a simple card to share today. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I adhered a square panel of the Cute Halloween designer series paper with the vampires to Basic Black and Old Olive mats – Aren’t these the sweetest vampires ever! And I adhered a panel of the Boo! DSP to the front of a Flirty Flamingo card base. Then I adhered the layered DSP square to the card front with dimensionals.

I made a jack-o-lantern from the Stampin’ Up! Cutest Halloween photopolymer stamp set by stamping in Memento Tuxedo Black and Pumpkin Pie on Basic White. I stamped the pumpkin outline in Tuxedo Black, then the solid pumpkin in Pumpkin Pie and then the jack-o-lantern face in Tuxedo Black. I colored the stem in Old Olive and used the Halloween Punch from the bundle to cut it out.

I stamped the sentiment from the Banner Year photopolymer stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black on a Highland Heather strip and trimmed the end with the Banners Pick A Punch. I adhered the other end to the back of the jack-o-lantern and tucked a folded length of black glitter ribbon behind too. I adhered the label to the card front with dimensionals, just under the vampires and finished it with three star sequins.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the spider web from the Banner Year stamp set in Smoky Slate in the top corner of a Basic White panel. I stamped the spider from the Stampin’ Up! Cutest Halloween stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black in the web and the sentiment in Tuxedo Black across the panel. I stamped the jack-o-lantern in the lower corner just like the front and trimmed he bottom with a strip of boo DSP from the Cute Halloween paper pack. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card.

The Flirty Flamingo is not traditional for a Halloween Card, but the Cute Halloween vampire paper is so pretty, so I wanted to give it a try. There are so many fun items currently for Halloween crafting, and the Stampin’ Up! Cutest Halloween bundle will will coordinate with them all.

Stampin’ Up! Artistically Inked Thank You Card

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Artistically Inked bundle has beautiful flowers, sentiments and die cuts. For today’s card, I decided to pair it with the beautiful Blackberry Beauty specialty designer series paper for a fall themed thank you card. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I adhered a panel of Blackberry Beauty specialty designer series paper to the front of a Blackberry Bliss card base. I adhered the small frame from the Blackberry Beauty Ephemera pack to the card front. I cut the leaf spray from the Artistic dies from the Stampin’ Up! Artistically Inked bundle from Gold Metallic specialty paper and adhered it to the card front over the frame and DSP.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Artistically Inked cling stamp set in VersaMark ink on Cinnamon Cider. I sprinkled it with white embossing powder, shook off the excess and heat set the powder with my heat tool. I cut the sentiment out with the Tailored Made Tags die. I cut another tag with the same die from the Blackberry Beauty specialty DSP and adhered it to the back and adhered a tag reinforcement cut from Blackberry Bliss to the front.

I looped a length of Fine Art ribbon through the tag hole and tied it, making a bow, with a length of gold cord. I adhered the tags to the front of the card with dimensionals.

For the inside of the card, I adhered one of the gold wildflower die cuts from the Blackberry Beauty Ephemera Pack to the side of a Basic White panel. I adhered a strip of Blackberry Beauty DSP to the bottom and adhered the panel to the inside of the card.

The Stampin’ Up! Artistically Inked bundle has beautiful flowers, sentiments and dies that go beautifully with the Blackberry Beauty specialty designer series paper and ephemera pack.

Stampin’ Up! Seasons Of Fun Halloween Card

Good Morning! The Stampin’ Up! Seasons Of Fun cling stamp set is a cute little set with little kids enjoying the delights of the fall and winter holidays. It is a host set that you can only purchase with Host Dollars that you earn on orders or parties over $150 before shipping and taxes. And it is just so cute! I used the little girl in a pumpkin costume for a Halloween card. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I adhered a panel of Old Olive Cute Halloween designer series paper with the haunted houses to a panel of the striped DSP. I adhered the layered panel to an Old Olive mat. I tied a length of black and white gingham ribbon around the layered panel, tied a bow on the side and adhered the panel to the front of a Pumpkin Pie card base.

I stamped the little girl in the pumpkin costume from the Stampin’ Up! Seasons Of Fun cling stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on a Basic White panel. I colored the image with Stampin’ Blends – Pumpkin Pie, Old Olive, Highland Heather, Petal Pink, Bronze, Smoky Slate and Basic Black. I stamped some falling oak leaves in Memento Tuxedo Black and colored them with the Cinnamon Cider Stampin’ Blend. I adhered the panel to a Basic Black mat and then to a Highland Heather mat.

I adhered the panel to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals, I stamped the sentiment from the Banner Year stamp set in Pumpkin Pie ink on a small Basic White panel and cut it out with Paper snips. I adhered it to a Basic Black panel and used my paper snips to trim a thin mat around it. I adhered the sentiment to the panel with glue dots. I adhered the little star sequins all around the card front to give it some bling.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Banner Year stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black on a Basic White panel. I added the cobwebs in stamped off Smoky Slate and the Jack-O-Lantern in Pumpkin Pie, Old Olive and Memento Tuxedo Black. I added the spider from the Cutest Halloween stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black. I trimmed the bottom with a strip of Cute Halloween DSP and adhered the panel to the inside of the card.

Halloween cards are so much fun and the darling little girl from the Stampin’ Up! Seasons Of Fun stamp set is a perfect example. I love how all the different Halloween theme stamp sets go together to make fun items to celebrate! Can’t wait for Trick or Treating!

Stampin’ Up! Cutest Halloween for the Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop

Good morning! Welcome to the Inkin’ Krew Monthly Blog Hop! The theme for this month’s hop is “Halloween Fun” and I’m using the Stampin’ Up! Cutest Halloween bundle for my card today. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I cut the top front off of the card base by cutting down the score line 1-3/4″ and cutting straight across the top with my paper trimmer. This left the bottom 2-1/2″ on the card front. I adhered a panel of Old Olive haunted house Cute Halloween 6″ x 6″ designer series paper to the inside of the card.

I adhered a panel of the ‘boo’ Cute Halloween 6″ x 6″ DSP to the inside front flap and I colored the candy panel for the outside front flap. I colored the candies with the Bronze, Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, Highland Heather and Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends and then adhered the panel to the front flap. I stamped six Jack-O-Lanterns using the Stampin’ Up! Cutest Halloween photopolymer stamp set – I stamped the outlines in Memento Tuxedo Black, the solid pumpkins in Pumpkin Pie and the Jack-O-Lantern faces in Memento Tuxedo Black. I colored the stems with the Granny Apple Green Stampin Blend and punched the Jack-O-Lanterns out with Halloween Punch.

I adhered the Jack-O-Lanterns across the top of the front flap with glue dots and dimensionals (the one in the middle and the two ends). I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Cutest Halloween stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black on Old Olive and cut it out with the Messages die. I adhered it to the card front with glue dots.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Cutest Halloween in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the little spider in the corner and adhered the panel to the bottom of the inside of the card. I adhered the last Jack-O-Lantern to the front flap next to the inside panel. I stamped the little ghost outline in Smoky Slate on Basic White and the face and arms in stamped off Highland Heather. I punched out the ghost with the Halloween Punch and adhered it to the top of the inside with dimensionals. I finished the card with iridescent stars.

I also used the Stampin’ Up! Cutest Halloween bundle to decorate a little Halloween treat box made with the Pretty Pillowbox dies. It’s so cute and really puts me in the trick-or-treatin’ mood!

Stampin’ Up! Festive Post Happy Haunting Card

Happy Halloween! Of course I have a Halloween card today and it’s made with the Stampin’ Up! Festive Post stamp set along with the Rectangular Postage Stamp punch. You can find the supplies used to create this card at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I used the Rectangle Postage Stamp punch to punch out two pieces of the Blackberry Bliss spider paper from the Magic In This Night designer series paper pack. I stamped the witches’ brooms from the Stampin’ Up! Festive Post stamp set in Memento Tuxedo black ink on the punched DSP. I punched two pieces of Blackberry Bliss card stock with the same punch and adhered the stamped DSP to the front. I die cut the pretty spider from the Little Treat Box Dies from the fun Black Glitter paper and the spider web from the Peek-a-Hoot dies from vellum and adhered it to the punched layered papers.

I stamped the date sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Festive Post stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on a Pumpkin Pie panel and punched it out with the Rectangle Postage Stamp punch. I adhered a strip of the gothic spider web paper to the panel of the black striped Magic in this Night DSP paper and then adhered them both to a Basic Black mat I adhered it to the front of a Basic Black card base with dimensionals.

I adhered the three punched postage stamps to the card front with dimensionals, with the Pumpkin Pie in the middle.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the the sentiment from the Celebration Tidings in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on a Whisper White panel. I adhered another spiderweb and spider next to the sentiment and trimmed the bottom with a strip of the black striped Magic in this Night DSP. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card.

The Stampin’ Up! Festive Post stamp set has cute images for Christmas and Valentine’s Day as well as Halloween. And they fit perfectly with the Rectangle Postage Stamp punch, for a cute look. Check it out in my Online Store by clicking on the picture below:

Stampin’ Up! Celebrate Sunflowers Ombre Thank You Card Video Tutorial

Good Morning! Today I’m sharing another beautiful card made with the Stampin’ Up! Celebrate Sunflowers cling stamp set that I made during my Facebook Live video tutorial yesterday afternoon. Instead of using the wonderful dies, I just used the gorgeous large sunflower stamp and paired it with an ombre technique with some touches of gold. You can find the supplies used to create this card at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

Here is the Facebook Live video showing how I made the card:

I will also edit the video and post a concise tutorial on my YouTube Channel, so look for that soon. The edited video has been posted on my YouTube Channel and you can find it here.

I stamped three of the large sunflowers from the Stampin’ Up! Celebrate Sunflowers cling stamp set in Early Espresso ink on a Whisper White panel. Using the sponge brayer, I colored the panel starting with Cajun Craze on the bottom and adding in Pumpkin Pie, Bumblebee and So Saffron inks. I colored the darkest colors on the bottom and the lightest color on top, overlapping the colors as I went. I also used the sponge brayer to add So Saffron ink to the Whisper White label. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set in Early Espresso ink on the label. I adhered the label to the flower panel and adhered the panel to a gold foil mat.

I wrapped gold trim around the panel just above the label, making a bow, and finished the panel with three gold metallic pearls. I adhered the dark woodgrain In Good Taste designer series paper to the front of an early Espresso card base and popped the flower panel on top with dimensionals.

I stamped another sunflower from the Stampin’ Up! Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set in Early Espresso ink in the corner of a Whisper White panel. I added some Cajun Craze, Pumpkin Pie and Bumblebee ink with the sponge brayer and adhered the panel to the inside of the card.

The soft touches of gold with the dark wood grain give the card an elegant look, especially when paired with the beautiful sentiment!

Stampin’ Up! Banner Year Happy Haunting Card Video Tutorial

Good Morning! Today I’m sharing a Halloween card made with the Stampin’ Up! Banner Year bundle that I made during my Facebook Live video tutorial yesterday afternoon. Last week I made a pair of Fall cards with this bundle and today’s card uses another technique for designing and stamping your own ‘designer series paper’ for a card background. You can find the supplies used to create this card at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

Here is the Facebook Live video showing how I made the card:

I will also edit and post a concise tutorial on my YouTube Channel, so look for that soon. You can find the YouTube video here.

I planned a little rectangle of images from the Stampin’ Up! Banner Year photopolymer stamp set and the colors that I wanted to use. In order to fill all the spaces, I needed to put a spider in the spider web, so I used in the spider from the Celebration Tidings stamp set. Then I just stamped the pattern in a row. I shifted the pattern and stamped the next row and repeated until I covered the panel. I used Rich Razzleberry, Smoky Slate, Bumblebee, Pumpkin Pie, Pretty Peacock and Memento Tuxedo Black inks on a Whisper White panel.

I trimmed my stamped panel and adhered it to a Basic Black mat. I colored a length of white crinkle seam binding ribbon with dark Rich Razzleberry Stampin’ Blend and wrapped it around the panel, tying a bow. I cut the spider web from Smoky Slate card stock using the Peek A Hoot Dies and adhered it to the panel with a glue dot. I trimmed the ends of my labels with the Banners Pick A Punch and stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Banner Year stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black. I adhered the label to the mat and popped it on the panel with dimensionals. I finished the panel with three iridescent pearls and popped it on the front of a Rich Razzleberry card base with dimensionals.

I stamped the images similar to the card front on a Whisper White panel. I added the Boo sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Banner Year stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and adhered the panel to the inside of the card.

The cute images in the Stampin’ Up! Banner Year stamp set are perfect for stamping all over a sheet of card stock to make your own custom designer series paper for a One Sheet Wonder project for all the upcoming holidays! The little images are also great for accenting labels or tags that go on other projects. Click the image below to get the full details of this bundle in my Online Store.
