Artist of the Month projects with the Bag of Bones suite!


Our Artist of the Month for September was Candy who chose the Bag of Bones bundle. She did an incredible job on her projects! 

The suite is no longer available because the Glow in the Dark bats & ghosts have been discontinued. This means you can still get everything else individually. 

First is a card showing off both the Bag of Bones bundle and the Them Bones designer paper.

She tore her paper and pieces it on her card base.  Then she stamped the skeleton using Versmark onto Black card stock heat embossing it with White embossing powder. Love the boots and hat on him!  The circles are die-cuts from the new Deckled Circle dies in the 2023 Holiday catalog.  

Here's the Them Bones designer paper: 

Next is a neat monochromatic card in Basic Gray and Gray Granite.  She stamped the background with the skeleton bones!

The tombstone, fence, bats, cat and dog are all die-cuts from the Bag of Bones bundle. The dog and cat are stamped on our Glow in the Dark specialty paper.  You must use Stazon in for this or it may run. She sponged on gray ink onto the tombstone and fence for a 'spooky' look.  

Next is a cute treat holder made with that same tombstone die-cut.  She simply added a few strips of card stock inside the two die-cuts to create a pouch.  

 

 

 

 

This card is so fun; she featured a panel from the Them Bones designer paper to show off the dancing skeleton.  Love his suspenders, hat and bow tie!!  

These skeletons are all heat embossed with White embossing powder onto Black card stock. You can see a few of the glow in the dark bats and ghosts here.  Unfortunately they are sold out now and will not return.  

Here's a slimline card showing off more of the Them Bones designer paper.  Her colors are Basic Gray, Pumpkin Pie and Cajun Craze. 

Isn't it cute how the skeleton on the bottom has his dog on a leash?!  

This next card shows off a neat background effect.  She used the Deckled Circle dies 

The background is made by sponging on the houndstooth mask (Abundant Beauty decorative masks) then debossed it with the Distressed Tile embossing folder. She then dragged the Blackberry Bliss ink pad across it.  Cool!  

Didn't she create a fabulous group of projects. She truly showcased this Halloween suite wonderfully!  Fantastic job Candy!!!

  • Love of Leaves; get two colors on one stamp!


    I was inspired by a card swap I received to create this pretty card.  It features the Love of Leaves bundle; one of my favorites in the new Stampin' Up! 2020 Holiday Catalog.  there's also a 3/4" strip of the beautiful Plaid Tidings designer paper here which is where the color combination came from. 

    We made this colorful card at my Flowerbug's Team gathering on Saturday.  It features a two toned stamping technique you should really try!  The solid images are perfect for it! 

    Can you see the two toned effect on the largest leaf?   It's done like this:  

    • Ink the leaf in Pumpkin Pie (the lightest color of the two).
    • Next use a sponge dauber (can use a sponge too, but it's more difficult to control) and add Rich Razzleberry ink (the darker color) to the edges of the leaf image.  
    • Huff and stamp. Then die-cut with the Stitched Leaves dies. 

    I did the same thing on the long leaf with Crushed Curry & Pumpkin Pie but it isn't showing up as well.

    Other details:

    • White CS is 3 1/2" X 4 3/4" and textured with the Stitched Leaves dies
    • Plaid Tidings DSP is 3/4" X 5 1/4" 
    • Rich Razzleberry main card is 5 1/2" X 8 1/2". 
    • Inks are Rich Razzleberry, Pumpkin Pie and Crushed Curry. 
    • The greeting is punched from the Label Me Lovely punch. I started out with a 1" White strip of card stock.  Stamp the greeting and insert into the punch for a unique shape! 

    See the Lovely Leaves bundle here and the Plaid Tidings designer paper here.

  • Stitched Window cards; FB Live Replay


    This week's Stamp with Me Live video featured a window technique using dies.  The 2nd & 4th Monday of the month I offer a 'Stamp with Me' Live on my FB page here.  Be sure to follow my page so you get notified! 

    My original card idea came from the Holiday catalog and used the Love of Leaves dies.  But I switched it up to use the Stitched Stars dies with the Playful Patterns designer series paper for these fun cards: 

    I used the smallest three star dies to create 'windows' in my card stock.  Then I popped them up over the Playful Patterns designer paper. Add a greeting and another card stock strip and you're done!  So quick & easy! 

    Watch the video below to catch all of the tips and see the original cards too.  

    Measurements:
    • Card stock for window 4 1/4" X 3 1/4"
    • Designer Paper 4 1/2" X 3 1/2"
    • Greeting strips 3/4"-1" X 4" wide

  • Love of Leaves; make one cut and get two cards!


    Last week I shared a card featuring the Love of Leaves bundle.  *You can see it below.  Now I'm sharing the other card I made with the inside of the die-cut.  Cut once and make two cards using these stitched leaf dies! 

    The Love of Leaves bundle is going to be a big favorite this fall!  See it here. 

    Details

    • The die-cut is Soft Suede and the card base is Cajun Craze. 
    • The Pretty Peacock designer paper is from the new Magic in the Night Halloween Designer Series paper seen here!  As you can see, it's not just for Halloween!  
    • I also used the new Celebration Label dies seen here; I love the stitched shape of these!  
    • The stamped leaves image is created with the Life is Beautiful stamp set.

    Below you'll see the other card I made with the outside or window when I cut the leaf above.
