Halloween Spells Fun Fold

Halloween Spells Fun Fold

Raise your hand if you’re a Halloween fan? If that’s you, I have a fun fun fold for you today using Stampin’ Up!’s new Halloween Spells 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper and the Choose Happy Stamp Set. I just love the coordinating colors in this patterned paper: Basic Black, Gorgeous Grape, Pumpkin Pie, and Pool Party.

And the Choose Happy Stamp Set includes a variety of word builder sentiments that help you create cards all year long.

The Designer Series Paper is part of the brand-new scrapbooking release and the beginning of offering many more memory keeping products. See the brochure here. It’s filled with brand-new Scrapbooking Kits, stamp sets, two-tone paper, and more.

Baby Wipe Technique

  • Layer two baby wipes on top of each other. Be sure to protect your work surface as the ink will bleed. I used my Glass Mat.
  • Drip drops of reinkers onto baby wipes. I used Wild Wheat, Early Espresso, Pretty Peacock, and Cajun Craze.
  • Cover the area. It has to be large to accommodate the large background stamp.
  • Dip the stamp in the baby wipe and then stamp on the Very Vanilla card stock.

Cheers to the Season Thankful

Welcome to the Stampers Dozen November Blog Hop! We’re so glad you joined us. This month, the theme is Thankful Hearts. You’ll see cards and projects focusing on gratitude and thanks, celebrating the month of Thanksgiving. Be sure to visit all of the blogs on the hop to gain a host of fall crafting inspiration. Look for a list of participating stampers at the end of this post.

Cheers to the Season Thankful

Cheers to the Season Thankful

If you’re like me, you often appreciate a simple card that’s easy to replicate. That’s why I like the sketch, or design, of this card. The focal point includes one large image in a circle, bookended by two other smaller circles. You could create a handful of these quickly and easily. And, think of the many stamp sets and patterned paper you can add to this layout.

Here are the products I used to create this thankful card:

  • Cheers to the Season Stamp Set. Gold heat emboss leaf image with gold embossing on Wild Wheat Card Stock. Die cut with largest circle from Stylish Shapes Dies.
  • Die cut two of the second largest circle from the Stylish Shapes Dies from the 2023-2025 In Color 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper.
  • Emboss a piece of Pecan Pie Card Stock with the Fall Leaf 3D Embossing Folder (Online Exclusive)
  • Layer on Wild Wheat Card Stock measuring 8 1/2 x 5 1/2, scored at 4 1/4
  • Wrap Gold 1/8 Trim (Online Exclusive) around and tie a bow
  • Add 2023-2025 In Color Dots (Wild Wheat)

I love this stamp set because it covers a range of occasions: fall, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and new year’s day. Think of using the “cheers” image for a birthday card, anniversary card, or event wedding card.

Stampin' Up! Cheers to the Season
