Potions and Pizzazz for Halloween

This is another project made out of the make-n-take packet from Creative Convention Online - Holiday Edition that looks literally nothing like the intended sample.  Sometimes when you don't have a stamp set, you have to make do with what you have and I simply LOVE how this one turned out!

I stamped the potion bottles in Archival Black ink and then stamped the potions inside using Fresh Fig, Lemon-Lime Twist, and Pumpkin Pie.  I then stamped Happy Halloween in Fresh Fig and cut it out using my scissors.  It's layered on the 1 1/4 White Circle using adhesive after I stamped the accent lines in Lemon-Lime Twist.  It's then layered on a circle of Fresh Fig with dimensionals and added to the card on a nest of Black Twine and Mini Sequin Trim.    I cut off a few of the sequins and added them around the sentiment using a Fine Tip Glue Pen.

Supplies:

• Cardstock: Basic Black (5 x 3 3/4), Lemon-Lime Twist (8 1/2 x 5 1/2), Whisper White (3 1/2 x 4 3/4, scrap), Fresh Fig (scrap)
• Ink: Pumpkin Pie, Archival Black, Fresh Fig, Lemon-Lime Twist
• Stamp Set: Spooky Cat
• Accessories: 1 1/4 Circle Punch, 1 3/8 Circle Punch, Solid Black Twine, Silver Mini Sequin Trim, Black Rhinestones, Dimensionals, Scissors, Adhesive, Fine Tip Glue Pen

From October 1st - October 31st, you can purchase three packs of designer paper included in the promotion and get a fourth for free!  Check out my Web site for images of all the included papers!

The best Paper Pumpkin kits of the year come during the holidays, in my opinion!  This year, Stampin' Up! is trying something new and giving us TWO months of holiday kits in October and November and they will coordinate.  If you didn't order by October 10th, you won't be able to get the first kit at your door but you can still subscribe by November 10th to get the second one.  These kits will help you get your card and gift making started off right!  

Paper Pumpkin is creativity in a box.  It costs $19.95 plus tax and ships to your mailbox once a month.  It contains everything you need for your own creative escape.  Besides the instructions and pieces for the cards or project, it also contains ink and photopolymer stamps and usually the adhesive you need as well.  My subscribers will also get a project sheet with tips and additional ideas and instructions that they can make with the supplies in the kits and sometimes some supplemental supplies.  Plus I try to send one of the alternative ideas out to everyone in the mail so you get two fun surprises in the mail each month!  Sign up by the 10th of the month to get that month's kit!

Batty for Halloween

Today is the last day to place orders during our World Cardmaking Day special - check out the link below to order select products and stamp sets at 15% off!  It's also the last day to sign up for Paper Pumpkin if you want to get the first holiday kit!

As for today's project, I recently did Creative Convention Online - Holiday Edition with Ronda Wade and Erica Cerwin and we were given some very fun make-n-takes with our kit.  I usually have the stamp sets for these experiences but only purchased one set for Halloween this year.  It meant I had to get a little creative!

Today's sample was based off the design by Ronda Wade.  I made a few changes to the card based on the stamp set and embellishments I had on hand but still love the results.  I'm glad my daughter told me to use black rhinestones instead of silver ones - definitely a better look for my size of bat!

I loved the tip they provided where you can use dimensionals when doing tone on tone paper layering to give dimension and contrast.  It really works well on these projects and also lets you maximize your cardstock.

Supplies:

• Cardstock/DSP: Basic Black, Very Vanilla, Spooky Night DSP
• Ink: Archival Black
• Stamp Set: Spooky Cat
• Accessories: 3/4 Circle Punch, 1 1/2 Circle Punch, Black Rhinestones, Black Shimmer Ribbon, Dimensionals, Scissors, and Adhesive

For 10 days only (October 1 - October 10th) you can save 15% on notecards and envelopes and select stamp sets from Stampin' Up!
