It’s starting to feel like Halloween! I know, most people don’t get excited about chilly, rainy days; but I adore them! Perfect. Halloween. Weather.

In honor of this lovely weather (yes, lovely), I have a spooky card for you. I thought these devilishly, eerie bats were the perfect starting point and all they really needed was some fabulous word art to finish the theme. I get to spend the day creating more creepy delights for you. LOVE! Before I go, I wanted to remind you that today is Tuesday so check out the new weekly specials below……

Best of Halloween Flip Card

Halloween flip card

Here is a Spooky flip card that I made using the new Circle Card Thinlets, a die that cuts and scores this fun fold! To get the DSP to line up nicely, I just used the thinlet to cut it. Then I trimmed it down to fit the card. The image is stamped on a white circle and then sponged to add the color. I cut the bats from an image in the Halloween Bash set.

I hope you get to stamp today!

Best of Halloween

Today is World Card Making day. I hope you get a chance to stamp today! If you do, be sure and snap a picture of your card and send it to Stampin’ Up! to be entered to win a prize

There are two ways to enter:

  • E-mail a photo of a card, or of you making a card, made with Stampin’ Up! product on World Cardmaking Day to wcmd2013@stampinup.com.
  • Post a photo of a card, or of you making a card, made with Stampin’ Up! product on World Cardmaking Day on Instagram. Mention us by typing @stampinup and use the hashtag #wcmd2013 in the description.

I am getting addicted to the Washi Tape! They are just fun to play with and mix and match. I really love how they make it easy to “fill in” anywhere your design “needs something”.  For a smaller image like this, they are the perfect background. I handcut the little bats from another image in the Halloween Bash set. I love the little bat image and have used it on several projects. The tombstone background is a Windows framelit piece that has 3 of the sides cut down.

Frankenstein Treat Box Tutorial

Fancy Favor Frankenstein Box

Create an adorable Frankenstein treat container using the Fancy Favor box die. Cut a 6 x 12 piece of Old Olive card stock and run it through the big shot with the Fancy Favor die. The die cuts and scores for you, so all you need to do is draw in the mouth and scars with a Basic Black marker. Do this on the front panel which would be the panel with the two gusseted sides. Use either liquid Tombow multi or Sticky strip adhesive to assemble the box.

Cut a strip of Basic Black card stock that is 4 x 1 1/2 inches and place it on the die so that the top is trimmed to match the decorative edge.

Frankenstein fancy favor box

Trim the scored pieces off and hand trim the lower edge of the box so that it resembles Frankenstein’s hairline.

Punch the following pieces

  • Whisper White – Two 1″ circles
  • Basic Black – Two 3/4″ circles
  • Old Olive – One 1 inch circle (cut in half) and One Modern Label piece cut at about 3/4″ and trimmed along the sides as shown

Draw a white crescent on each black circle, using the White gel pen. Glue the eyes together as shown. Sponge all of the punched pieces with crumb cake ink to make them stand out against the Old Olive box.

Two Tags Candy Holder

two tags halloween candy holder

Here is a cute little Halloween treat holder. You can stack smaller candies inside, or use it as a band around a bundle of longer candy. These are quick and easy. Just cut two of the larger tags, using the Two Tags die and the Big Shot machine. Emboss the tags if you like, and then glue them together on the bottom fold. Fold the top half of the tags up to form a triangle and tie at the top. Fun stuff!

Thanks for stopping by!

Batty Candy Cone

Batty Candy Cone

This is a cute little batty project that we made for stamp camp this month. Shelli shared it on her blog and I just had to copy it. Not much stamping, but it uses two of my favorite new dies; Perfect Pennants and the Petal Cone die. What a fun way to serve up your favorite Halloween treats!

Happy Stampin!

Candy Bar Wrapper Video!

Halloween candy bar wrapper

Oh My! I have managed to create my first video, but I had no idea just how involved it would be. The whole process has been very time consuming for me, because I started from scratch! I had to learn how to use the camera and figure out how to mount it upside down over my desk, figure out lighting, learn editing software, you tube, and then how to embed it into my blog! So if you have been wondering where I have been, between this adventure, a few big family events and a stomach bug …… There were days that I was wondering the same thing myself! It’s good to be back!

Isn’t this little bat cute? I saw one that used a pattern  that was printed off and then cut out. I wasn’t sure how the ink would show up on black paper, but I also knew it would be easy to do using punches! So here is the final result of several adventures over the last couple of weeks.

My first video presentation for my blog.  I should explain that I hate most of it! Every frame is a lesson in what NOT to do next time, but it took so long to get to this point, there was no way that I was going to start over! The project is cute and fun though, and the video explains it well enough. I will be adding more videos and hopefully they will get better as I go along. I hope you enjoy it!

Thanks for stopping by!
