Halloween Boo Card Sample
October 1 is around the corner. Are you ready for the the spookiest fall holiday? Stampin’ Up! offers a host of fun supplies and products to create cards and treats. Look for the a variety of these rubber stamps, ink, paper, and embellishments in the August-December 2020 Mini Catalog.

Want to use your Boho Indigo Scraps (or any scraps) with a fun embossing technique? Keep reading.
I love Stampin’ Up!’s Boho Indigo Product Medley. Find it on page 9 of Stampin’ Up!’s 2020-2021 Annual Catalog. The Night of Navy and Midnight Muse colors call to me! I’ve used the medley in a ton of card projects. Click on the links below to look at past posts, samples, and projects.
After all of that creating, I have a lot of scraps and small pieces. The technique I show today isn’t new. I resurrected it for this beautiful designer series paper and its scraps!
Using Stampin’ Up!’s 1 1/2-inch circle punch, punch a variety of different designs from both sides of the patterned paper
Arrange the circles onto a a piece of Very Vanilla card stock or Midnight Muse card stock.
Glue the circles down with multipurpose glue.It’s OK if some of them go off the edge of the base.
Let it dry.
Run the whole piece through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss machine with your choice of embossing folders. I used Stampin’ Up!’s Tin Tile and Dainty Diamonds.
Trim the edges if any of the circles overlap.
Layer onto a coordinating card stock and then a card base.
Add a sentiment of your choice.
You could dress up with ribbon or other embellishments.

I love this set’s versatility. It contains sentiments and images for Halloween, fall, Thanksgiving, Christmas, general treat giving, and even weddings/engagements/anniversaries.
