Paper Pumpkin Possibilities September Blog Hop Spooky Treats

Welcome to the Paper Pumpkin Possibilities September Blog Hop as we showcase fun alternative projects using the Spooky Treats Kit. Our wonderful Design Team Members will be sharing their projects and ideas to help inspire you to think outside the box to create your own beautiful projects with this kit.

This wonderful kit has so many possibilities and it was tough deciding which alternative to share with you today. The treat boxes are so cute and can be altered in so many ways for a variety of occasions, beyond Halloween. For my alternative project, I decided to share a card design that focuses on using a couple of the elements from the kit along with images from the exclusive stamp set and combined them with the Bewitching Bundle from the July-December 2022 Mini Catalog. For the colors, I chose to use Orchid Oasis, Fresh Freesia, Basic Black and Basic White with a touch of Silver embossing to step up the design.

Orchid Oasis is one of my favorite Stampin' Up! colors, so I was excited to create this card using this pretty color, combined with Fresh Freesia, to create pretty Halloween card. I heat embossed the stars from the exclusive stamp set, using Silver embossing powder, to decorate the top corners of the Orchid Oasis card front. For the witch's hat, I heat embossed the image with Silver embossing powder and punched the image out using the Witch Hat Builder Punch. To create the band for the hat, I punched out a band from a scrap of Fresh Freesia Designer Series Paper in the Tea Boutique Designer Series Paper. I adhered it to the matching Black cardstock piece that was punched out with the Witch's hat, and then attached it to the hat to create depth and dimension. The detailed die cut "window frame" was trimmed from one of the Basic White covers in the kit, cutting along the fold lines one each side of the detailed panel. I attached it to the card front with Mini Stampin' Dimensionals to pop it up. To decorate the "window", I attached one of the spider die cuts from the kit to the top right side with Mini Glue Dots included in the kit and I added the witch's hat to the bottom left corner using Mini Stampin' Dimensionals. For the sentiment, I stamped the image from the exclusive stamp set using the Orchid Oasis ink spot included in the kit, onto the Fresh Freesia sentiment label die cut with the Stitched Rectangles Dies. To complete the card design, I added several Basic Rhinestone Jewels to the card front, in the gaps of the web, to create the look of stars shining through the window. I just love how this card turned out to create a fun alternative Halloween card.
