Welcome to the October Stampers Dozen Blog Hop! Thanks so much for joining us! Be sure to visit all of the participating stampers. See the list of links near the bottom of this post.

This month, we feature handmade cards and projects created with the color combination of Black, Gorgeous Grape, and Pumpkin Pie.

To me, these colors say Halloween. I immediately thought of the brand-new Halloween Spells 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper. Find this online as part of Stampin’ Up!’s brand-new scrapbooking release.

See this post for another card that uses this Halloween-themed paper.

I paired this patterned paper with Stampin’ Up!’s Choose Happy Stamp Set. This set contains a variety of words and images geared toward all four seasons.

Choose Happy Halloween Card

Here are some details to help you get started:

• Gorgeous Grape Card Stock base measuring 8/12 x 5 1/2, scored and folded at 4 1/4
• Basic White Card Stock panel measuring 5 1/4 x 4
• Eight pieces of Halloween Spells 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper measuring 1 1/4 x 1 1/4
• Basic Black Card Stock measuring 2 1/2 x 2 1/2
• Basic White Card Stock measuring 2 3/8 x 2 3/8
• Create word block and pumpkin image with stamps from the Choose Happy Stamp Set
• Stamp pumpkin and sentiment with Memento Black ink. Color pumpkin with Pumpkin Pie and Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends.
• Adhesive-Backed Sparkle Gems

This is a super fun layout. Try it with other Designer Series Paper and stamp sets.
