Hi Stampers, today I am participating in another Paper Pumpkin Blog Hop. (Below, I have provided a blog hop line up for you). The September 2020 paper Pumpkin kit is called “Hello, Pumpkin” and is filled with adorable little treat boxes. Today I am making a few of the treats up as they intended. Come back on Tuesday, September 29th for my alternative ideas for this kit.
I assembled and decorated two of the “crackers” and made the 3″ x 3″ card with pieces from the kit, per the directions. (Well, sort of… LOL).
The “crackers” came pre-cut and pre-scored, all I had to do was put some adhesive and roll it up and tie the ends. The paper was double sided, so you could choose to do one pattern or the other – or BOTH!
The pumpkin and all the little pieces were already die cut, I just punched them out and attached them using the adhesives provided in the kit. I stamped the “Hello Pumpkin” in Pumpkin Pie ink (the kit came with Cajun Craze ink) using the cute stamp set in the kit.
For this one, I did pretty much the same thing, just used different elements and the black bakers twine this time instead of white.
This cute little 3″ x 3″ card was also an idea from the kit. I just love that Paper Pumpkin gives us more supplies than we need and then additional ideas to use for those extra supplies!

Hi Stampers. Halloween is coming and I have such a cool technique to share with you today!! In the past, I have used hair gel and blue re-inkers, but recently another demo used hair gel and red re-inkers to make fake blood!
I used the Spooktacular Bash stamp set and Ornate Frames Dies along with the Monster Bash DSP to make this creepy Vampire card.
I used the Stitched Rectangle Dies to cut out the center of the card front and backed it with Real Red. The fake blood is made using hair gel and red re-inkers sealed inside of a zip-lock bag that is well taped together to prevent leaking.
I just love those Ornate Frames! I will be using those frames YEAR ROUND! For this card, the frame was cut using Merry Merlot CS.
The Spooktacular Bash stamp set has several great stamps that helped me decorate the interior of the card to match the exterior. The sentiment and jars were stamped in Basic Gray ink.
If you’d like to know how to make this card – you can view my Facebook Live video that I have uploaded to my YouTube channel:

Hi Stampers. Welcome back for another Inspire, Create & Share Blog Hop. This time we have been issued a color challenge. They challenged us to make a card or project using: Pumpkin Pie, Granny Apple Green, Gorgeous Grape & Silver. This is a great combination for a Halloween card!
I made my card using the Spooktacular Bash stamp set. It was inspired by a card I saw on Pinterest by Amy Koenders. I used her layout, but changed up the colors to match our challenge.
I wanted to feature the cute little vampire from the Spooktacular Bash stamp set. He is featured in a silver foil frame and colored in using the stampin’ blends. The frame was die cut from the silver foil using the Ornate Frames Dies. Truthfully, those dies are why I bought this bundle. I can see using this bundle all year long!
My vampire is set on a 2″ tag and has the phrase Happy Halloween above him and some of that awesome Black ribbon over that, tied with a bit of white bakers twine. The two words “happy” and “halloween” are from the A Wish For Everything stamp set. They were stamped onto Whisper White CS and cut out with another frame from the Ornate Frames Dies. Can’t you just see that frame being used with sentiments all year long?!?!
The pumpkin pie layer is dry embossed using the Bricks & Mortar 3D Embossing Folder.

Hi Stampers. Welcome back for another blog hop with the Global Stamping Friends. We were asked to create projects using our fabulous bundles. I chose to use the Apple Builder from the 2019 Holiday Catalog.This punch is part of the Harvest Hellos bundle. It’s a great set for back to school and also for Halloween. The apple builder punch can be an apple or a pumpkin.
Today’s card is made using the Stampin’ Up! Apple Builder Punch. Doesn’t this adorable card make you think “summer picnic”. I started with the idea of making a back to school thank you card for a teacher, but it could be used for any number of occasions.
Stampin’ Tip: When using a 6″ x 6″ piece of Designer Series Paper for a card front, I often cut it to 4″ x 5-1/4″. This leaves me with a 2″ x 6″ piece of DSP. These 2″ strips are perfect for this layout – it can easily be used as shown in this card layout.
The Well Written dies are a great collection of words commonly used on cards. I find that I reach for them often. Speaking of used often – Do you have the Stitched Shapes Dies?!? I never even put those away! I use them so often that they just sit next to my die cutting machine.
Do you have the fine-tip glue pen yet? It works wonderfully for applying very small amounts of glue to delicate dies, such as this word “thanks”.
You could use the Apple Builder Punch with colored papers (with or without stamping) or stamp on Whisper White CS (and them color with the blends). I chose to just punch them out without even stamping. Using Real Red ink, I sponged the edges of the apple. A score line down the middle of the leaf and few Glitter Enamel Dots and it was ready to go!
These are the Measurements:
Thick Whisper White CS – 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″, scored at 4-1/4″
Poppy Parade DSP – 2″ x 5-1/2″
Whisper White CS – approx. 3-1/4″ x 3-1/4″ (for the circle
Real Red CS – approx. 3″ x 3″ (for apple)
Early Espresso CS – scrap (for stem)
Granny Apply Green CS – approx. 1″ x 3″ (for the word thanks and the leaf)
Check out this FAcebook Live of the making of this card:

Hi Stampers. EEK! It’s here! The end of October AND Halloween! I have another Halloween card for you, using the eclipse technique. This card is very similar to the BOO card I did on Monday. See that card HERE.
I’m a huge fan of the eclipse technique! This card started with a Pumpkin Pie card base, 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, scored at 4 1/4″. Next is a 5 1/4″ x 4″ layer of Basic Black CS and then a 5″ x 3 3/4″ layer of Toil & Trouble Designer Series Paper.
I used the Large Letter Framelit Dies to cut the word “EEK” out of the DSP on my Big Shot. Next, I used mini stampin’ dimensionals to pop them up (Monday’s card used fun foam to lift the letters off of the card base). The DSP (without the letters) is adhered to the card base first. Next, you add mini stampin’ dimensionals to the backs of the letters and then insert them into the holes where they go (making sure the pattern lines up).
For the greeting, I used a 1″ x 4″ strip of Pumpkin Pie CS and a 3/4″ x 4″ strip of Very Vanilla CS. I stamped the greeting, from the Stampin’ Up! Cauldron Bubble stamp set, in Pumpkin Pie ink onto the VV strip. The ends of both strips were flagged with the Banner Triple Punch. I added three gems to the end of the strips and popped them onto the card front with stampin’ dimensionals.
Inside the card is lined with a 5 1/4″ x 4″ layer of Very Vanilla CS. The cauldron and cat were cut out of the Toil & Trouble DSP using the Cauldron Framelit Dies that coordinate with the Cauldron Bubble stamp set – the frog was fussy cut using paper snips. I adhered the cauldron, cat and frog using multipurpose liquid adhesive. The greeting Bubble, Bubble, Toil & Trouble is stamped in Pumpkin Pie ink.
Here is my Facebook Live Video Tutorial for this eclipse technique card.:

Hi Stampers. I can’t believe how fast time is flying by, Halloween will be here before we know it! I have several Halloween projects I’ve done that I still want to share with you. This card I made on one of my recent Facebook Live broadcasts. (That FB Live is uploaded to YouTube and featured for you below).
I love simple cards that pop a wow. The eclipse technique is great for that! This card started with a Gorgeous Grape card base, 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, scored at 4 1/4″. Next is a 5 1/4″ x 4″ layer of Basic Black CS and then a 5″ x 3 3/4″ layer of Designer Series Paper.
For this card, I used the ghosts from the Toil & Trouble DSP. I used the Large Letter Framelit Dies to cut the word “BOO” out of the DSP on my Big Shot. Next, I cut out the same letters in fun foam to lift the letters off of the card base. (You can also use mini stampin’ dimensionals to pop them up).
The DSP (without the letters) is adhered to the card base first, next you place the letters into the holes (without glue) to find out where the centers of the letters go. Then adhere the centers of the letters with glue and remove the letters themselves. Using glue to adhere the fun foam letters into the holes and then the DSP is glued over the top of those.
For the greeting, I used a 1″ x 4″ strip of Gorgeous Grape CS and a 3/4″ x 4″ strip of Whisper White CS. I stamped the greeting, from the Stampin’ Up! Cauldron Bubble stamp set, in Gorgeous Grape ink onto the WW strip. The ends of both strips were flagged with the Banner Triple Punch. I added three gems to the end of the strips and popped them onto the card front with stampin’ dimensionals.
Inside the card is lined with a 5 1/4″ x 4″ layer of Whisper White CS. The witch and hat were cut out of the Toil & Trouble DSP using the Cauldron Framelit Dies that coordinate with the Cauldron Bubble stamp set – or you can fussy cut them if you wish. I adhered the witch and hat using multipurpose liquid adhesive. The greeting Trick or Treat is stamped in Gorgeous Grape ink.
