Swirly Scribbles Halloween

I came across retired Halloween DSP from a couple of years ago (at least) and used it for today's card.  I cut a piece of black cardstock 5-1/4" x 3-3/4 and then die cut the wavey framelit in the lower section of the black cardstock.  So I ended up with two pieces of cardstock and the wavey die cut.  I also cut a piece of the retired DSP to 5-1/4" x 4", layering the black pieces of cardstock over the DSP.  None of the pieces touched and that is why I cut the black cardstock a little narrower than the DSP.  I remembered that I had Tangerine Tango embossing powder (also retired) and after stamping the sentiment from Clearly Besotted in Versamark, I heat embossed it with the embossing powder.  I added a few of the Halloween enamel dots from the Holiday Mini, but the card still needed something.  So another strip of DSP at the top and the card was complete.   Have a great day!

Peekaboo Peach Just For You

Isn't today's card pretty?  I actually saw the design on a card on the internet and thought that paper from the Fruit Stand DSP collection would be perfect.  What I did this time is run the Peekaboo Peach DSP and a piece of craft foam (a smidgeon smaller than the striped paper) thru the Big Shot using a die from the Tags & Labels Framelits at the same time.   Before adhering the craft foam and DSP layers together, I temporarily placed the DSP on the  piece of Whisper White cardstock that would be the base for the craft foam/DSP layer and stamped the sentiment in the opening.   From there I adhered the layers (stamped white cardstock, craft foam and Peach DSP) together to the card base and began embellishing.  I used the Botanical framelits and the retired Bird Builder punch, rhinestones and an alcohol marker to color two of the rhinestones.  Have a great day!

That WPlus9 Wreath

So I tried the WPlus9 wreath stamp again and still I missed the mark when stamping the little black centers of the flowers.  I am just having a heck of a time lining up the layers of this stamp.  So, I decided to use the wreath as a base for a Fall thank you!  I have no problem stamping the wreath itself.  Adding the Stitched Leaves from Lawn Fawn was easy to do.  I even added little "berries" to the wreath.  The sentiment is from Stampin' Up's Endless Thanks set and fits in the middle of the wreath perfectly.  The twine bow on the wreath and on the card add another touch of Fall.  The strip of pattern paper is from my stash of retired Close To My Heart paper.  Have a great weekend and find yourself a little stampin' time.

Trick or Treat Favor

During this past weekend, in addition to cute cards, I used a new Halloween stamp from the Holiday Mini, Halloween Treat.  The image was stamped in black on Calypso Coral cardstock and then fussy cut..  The top of the cardstock tent was wrapped with black and orange twine and tied with the tag attached.  The tag needed a little bling, so out came Halloween sequins I had from last year.  To make the tent you will need cardstock that is 3" by 9-1/4" scored at 1", 4-7/8" and 5-1/2".  I used a variety of retired Halloween cardstock and black cardstock for the tents.  I stapled the top of the tent together with the candy inside using  Stampin' Up's handheld stapler.   Inside the little tents are Russell Stover chocolate  pumpkins. And then there is another version.  Same size but I used a Label & Tag framelit to create a window so that the candy corn I put in a cello bag would show.  Ribbon, eyes and a little sentiment made this one even cuter~~at least I think so! Have a great day and find yourself a little stampin' time!
