Silver To Silver Elite August Blog Hop July-December 2021 Mini Catalog & Sale-a-bration

Welcome to the Silver To Silver Elite August Blog Hop as we showcase products from the July-December 2021 Mini Catalog and the 2021 Summer Sale-a-bration Catalog. You will be visiting with talented Stampin' Up! Demonstrators as they share their ideas and projects to help inspire you.

Now that Fall is almost here, I thought it would be fun to showcase the Cute Halloween Suite in the July-December 2021 Mini Catalog. I love how all the products in this suite coordinate to make creating projects so much easier. For this simple fun fold design, I chose the Cutest Halloween Bundle and combined it with the Cute Halloween 6"x6" Designer Series Paper. As you can see from the card design, I was able to showcase both sides of one of the designer series paper sheets from this paper pack. In addition, I used the Black & White 1/4" Gingham Ribbon and the Cute Stars Adhesive Backed Sequins to embellish my card to step up the design.

This cute fun fold card design is a wonderful way to celebrate Halloween. It is easy to assemble and with a couple of simple tricks, you can step it up for a Simply Wow card. First tip is to cut a regular size card front of 5 1/4" x 4" from the designer series paper sheet. Cut a 1 1/4" x 5 1/4" strip off of the right side of the card front to create two separate pieces, with the larger being 2 3/4" x 5 1/4" for the front panel. The second tip is to take a piece of the Black & White Gingham Ribbon, approx 18 inches long, and color it with the Light Highland Heather Stampin' Blends Marker so that it coordinates with the designer series paper. Wrap the ribbon around the middle of the card base and do a test bow to determine the positioning of the ribbon. Once you have the ribbon evenly positioned, attach the bright ghost pattern to the front panel of the card over the top of the ribbon.

Next step is to stamp the sentiment and spider images onto the Basic White inside panel and attach the strip of designer series paper to the right side with the Black & White print facing up (by flipping the strip to the reverse of the ghost design). Untie the ribbon and attach this panel inside the card base so that when the card is closed, only the Black & White designer series paper is showing. For the sentiment, I heat embossed the image with White embossing powder towards the top of the label and add the ghost image towards the bottom right side of the label. Attach the sentiment label to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals so that it is flush with the edge and centered over the ribbon. To complete the card design, I added several of the Cute Stars Adhesive Backed Sequins to decorate the sentiment label and then retied the ribbon into a bow. Trim the ends so that the tails are long enough that it is easy to retie after opening up the card. This is such a fun Halloween design and a perfect way to help brighten someone's day.
