Ready for some fabulous ‘Cute Halloween’ projects?! Check out the video tutorial


Look at this adorable Halloween card I made on last week's FB Live.  Follow me on Facebook here so you don't miss my weekly videos!  There's on tonight at 7:30 pm CT and every Tuesday at 11 am CT. 

Product used:

  •  the ghosts, pumpkin and striped trim are from the Cute Halloween designer paper in the Holiday catalog.  See it here. 
  • I punched one of the ghosts and the pumpkin with the Halloween punch. It's in a bundle with the Cutest Halloween set seen here or on page 51, which is where the greeting is from. *Sadly the Halloween punch is now on back-order until November!
  • the wreath & bats are die-cut with the Seasonal Swirl dies seen here & Black Glimmer paper in the annual catalog; seen here
  • the ombre background is actually Fresh Freesia CS, with Misty Moonlight & Night of Navy added with our Blending Brushes *watch the video below
  • Cute Stars Adhesive-backed sequins are also added to the wreath

Check out the ghostly treat box in the photo above.  It's so simple to make with the Pretty Pillow box dies!

The stitched tag is also in the Pretty Pillow Box dies.  Look how it latches – the scalloped front slips in behind the tag in front.  I love that I don't need a special way to keep it closed; the tag does it for me! 

Check out the other version I made with the fun skeletons on the right?  I fussy cut them from the Cute Halloween paper. 

Measurements:

  • White 4 ¼” X 11” scored at 5 ½”, cut 1 ¾” from the right
  • Black 5 ½” X 8 ½” scored at 4 ¼”,
  • White & Fresh Freesia 3 ¾” X 4 ¾”, Black ½” X 4” strip for greeting
  • Cute Halloween DSP ½” strips

I haven't shared this for awhile so here it is; my favorite cutting template especially for inside a card.  Get 5 pieces from one 8 1/2" X 11" sheet of card stock. If you're making multiples this can save you a lot! 

Below is the video.  I make another project using Sparkle of the Season before this one. Fast forward to about 22 minutes in to see this neat Halloween card.

  • Green & Gold fun fold card with Changing Leaves bundle; & a free project sheet too!


    Today I'm sharing the second card I made during last week's Live video. My projects focused on new Online Exclusive products.  There's lots of beautiful texture on this monochromatic card.

    This card features multiple new Online Exclusive products released last week.

    Did you know that Stampin' Up! releases a bunch of new online extras multiple times a year?  These items are not in any printed publication and are seen only online. Most people don't realize that they can be ordered online or at local events.

    • Green & Gold specialty DSP seen here
    • Greetings of the Season stamp & dies bundle seen here
    • Changing Leaves stamp, dies & hybrid embossing folder bundle seen here

    I'll be featuring this pretty Green & Gold specialty designer paper for one of my upcoming card kits:

    Here's the inside view of this card.  I call it a center flap fold. It allows you to use two different pieces of coordinating designer paper.

  • Changing Leaves Hybrid embossing folder technique; with free project sheet & video tutorial


    I joined quite a few swaps featuring our newest group of Online Exclusives and this is one of the cards I made:

    It features the Changing Leaves bundle seen here.  It includes a stamp & die bundle AND a coordinating hybrid embossing folder as well. 

    I used two different embossing techniques on this card. If you look closely at the die-cut leaf you'll see there's ink in the recessed part of the leaf.  That was done by adding ink to the embossing folder before I cut & embossed the leaves.  Please watch the video here to see how it's done. 

    My colors include the new Basic Beige and Mossy Meadow with White. I also ran a piece of Basic Beige CS through the clean folder and added ink with a blending brush afterwards. 

    In the two cards below you'll see that the Beige card stock looks different.  The left card was done by blending Mossy Meadow ink very lightly over the textured CS. The right card was done by adding ink to the embossing folder before I textured it. Two totally different results! Again; watch the video below to see how it's done. 

    For the greetings I used another new Online Exclusive stamp set called Everyday Greetings. It's a fabulous greeting set. See it here. 

    The oval die-cut is from a new set of dies called Greetings of the Season dies seen here. They're paired with a stamp set but are great on their own too. 

    Did you know that Online Exclusives simply mean that they're seen online and not in any printed publication? Anyone can order them! See them all here; there are tons of them!

  • Lily Pond Lane card kit – limited quantities!


    The adorable Lily Pond Lane designer paper is the star of these colorful cards. I created 5 card designs; 3 of which are fun folds. What I like about this DSP is how versatile it is; young or old, men, women or kids – it's great for anyone! 

    Each month I create two card kits where the DSP is the focus of the projects. These cards can be purchased as a pre-cut kit to go or choose the PDF tutorial option. Those who choose the kit will make 2 each of the 5 cards for a total of 10 cards.

    I have a limited number of kits available due to limited stock; opt in soon! 

    This kit includes the following Stampin' Up! products:

    • 10 pre-cut cards including die-cuts and punched pieces
    • 1/2 pkg of Lily Pond Lane 6 X 6" designer paper (some fussy cutting needed)
    • a share of Dappled Dots gems
    • a share of Peach Pie 3/8" ribbon
    • the free PDF tutorial with measurements, photos, supplies list and step by step directions.

    You will need the following to complete the cards:

    • Pretty Peacock ink (or a similar color)
    • Greeting images (i used Simply Said & Unbounded Love but any will work)
    • Paper snips scissors & Paper Trimmer, Adhesives 

    Opt in for the pre-cut card kit ($30) with products here.  Or choose the PDF tutorial option for $15 here. 

    The card kit will mail out at the end of July. The PDF tutorial is emailed to you immediately after payment.  Add on a second kit to go & save on postage.
