Ink. Stamp. Share. October Showcase Blog Hop

Welcome to the Ink. Stamp. Share. October Showcase Blog Hop as we share projects we are working on using current Stampin' Up! products. You will be visiting with talented Stampin' Up! Demonstrators as they share their projects and ideas to help inspire you.

With just a few weeks until Halloween, I have been playing with the Cutest Halloween Bundle and coordinating Cute Halloween 6"x6" Designer Series Paper to create fun and spooky projects. This cute card design features one of the patterns from the designer series paper and I used the Layering Circles Dies to create the sentiment label and heat embossed the sentiment with White embossing powder. I also fussy cut two of the skulls and popped them up with Stampin' Dimensionals. Can you guess which two they are?

This fun Halloween card is easy to assemble and it is a great way to showcase the wonderful designs in the Cute Halloween Designer Series Paper. The sentiment from the Cutest Halloween stamp set has been heat embossed with White embossing powder onto the Black cardstock circle and then I layered the circle onto the Highland Heather cardstock circle. I attached a piece of the Metallic Mesh Ribbon around the center of the designer series paper layer and attached it to the back and then added the layer to the card base with adhesive. Using Stampin' Dimensionals, I attached the sentiment label to the card front, centering it over the ribbon. I fussy cut out two of the smiling skulls from a scrap piece of the designer series paper and attached them to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals, lining them up directly over the same skulls on the card front. While this card design has a definite Halloween theme, it could also be used to help brighten someone's day.

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

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. 

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog. I hope that my card design will help inspire you to explore the new July-December 2021 Mini Catalog and 2021 Summer Sale-a-bration Catalog to create your own amazing projects. There are so many wonderful options available to choose from.
