Holiday Home Halloween Card #4

Colorful Dots Holiday Home Stampin' Up! card

Isn't this a fun, colorful card? You can make the dots any color you want because this in not Stampin' Up! Designer Series Paper, this is Designer Series Paper by You!

The dots are punched from colorful paper with a 1" circle punch and a 1/4" circle punch. Then glued randomly to a piece of Basic Black card stock.

I stamped the art piece with white craft ink, waited for it to dry (you can hurry the process along with a heat tool). Then I colored a couple of areas with colored pencil. Mount the art piece on a white mat. Adhere the matted art piece to the dotted paper and then onto a Pumpkin Pie card stock base.

Paper: Pumpkin Pie card stock, Basic Black card stock, Wild Wasabi card stock, Rich Razzleberry card stock, Whisper White card stock.
Ink: White craft ink
Stamps: Holiday Home
Other: 1" circle punch, 1/4" circle punch, 2-way glue, colored pencils

Halloween Wheel Card

Have you tried making "wheel cards"? I decided to try making one for this Halloween card. This is the first one I have tried. I did a search to find a tutorial, I found several to watch before I created this card. I was happy with the way it turned out, but already know some things that I will try modifying with another wheel card.

This is the Stampin' Up! Holiday Home stamp set and it has items for Thanksgiving, Christmas and Halloween. The Christmas and Thanksgiving are my favorite, but I had to see if I could do anything with the Halloween ones and I came up with several cards.

I used Basic Black card stock, Wild Wasabi card stock, Crumb Cake card stock and Cajun Craze card stock. The ink is Jet Black Stazon and Craft White. The stamp sets are Holiday Home and Hardwood.

So...I was working in my studio today. I was playing with paper...what else, and creating some CARD CANDY. What is card candy?

In the meantime, here's another card idea.

I used two of the new in-colors: Blackberry Bliss and Tangelo Twist. They are both from the In-Color Designer Series Paper stack.

Paper: Whisper White card stock, Basic Black card stock, Wild Wasabi card stock, Rich Razzleberry card stock
Ink: White craft ink, Jet Black Stazon
Stamps: That's the Ticket, Holiday Home
Other: 1/4" circle punch, 3/4" circle punch, 1" circle punch, Ticket punch

I used scraps to punch out small circles from for the left-hand circle border.

Other than punching the little circles and gluing them, this is a fairly quick card to create.

All supplies are available at my Stampin' Store.

Have a Happy Stamping Day and please come back soon!

Holiday Home Halloween Card

Have you checked out the new Stampin' Up! Holiday catalog yet? So many wonderful stamps and products! You can click on the catalog tab above to view/download a pdf of the new catalog.

Did you miss my post yesterday? Happy Stampers had a Blog Hop that included Blog candy. There's still time to get in on the fun, check it out here.

Here's another project that I created with products from the new catalog.

The stamp set is called Holiday Home. It has houses and accessories for several holidays.
I used the Back to Black Designer Series Paper from the New Annual Catalog for the background paper on this piece. I used an aqua painter and ink to add Pumpkin Pie and Blackberry Bliss color washes to the DSP.
After you stamp the black paper with white craft ink and let it dry (very important!) you can use the new Stampin' Up! Blendabilities to color over any of the white that you want to add color to.

Have a crafty day!

 Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge 359

Just a real quick post so that I can get this posted on Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge site.

I used the Gorgeous Grunge stamp set, the Wondrous Wreath stamp set and the For All Things stamp set. The first set is in the annual catalog and the last 2 are in the new holiday catalog.

I used Very Vanilla card stock for the bottom layer on the card front then I stamped the leaves on Whisper white card stock. I stamped the house with Jet Black Sazon and watercolored it with an aqua painter and ink. I stamped the trees and then colored the leaves in with cotton swabs.
 

 Happy Stamping!
