Archive for Halloween

Hello there! Welcome to the Stampin Creative Blog Hop today! This month for September, we are featuring Fancy Folds!

One of my all time favorite “fancy folds” is the Double Z Fold Card. Its so easy, and it displays our Designer Series Papers so well!

For me, its all about Halloween. I love fall, and I love the Halloween Holiday. Lets check out my creation:

So, let’s check out the “recipe” and digits for you:

Stamp Set / Bundle Hallows Night Magic

Paper: Basic Black, Cajun Craze, Hallows Night Magic DSP

Ink: Memento Black Ink

Other Supplies: Heat Tool, White Embossing Powder, Stampin Dimensionals, Mini Glue Dots, 3/8 inch organdy glittered black ribbon, iridescent pearls,

1. Cut the Black card stock at 11 x 4 1/4 inches and score along the long side at 51/2 and 8 1/4 inches. Cut the DSP at 5 1/4 and 4 inches and add it to the back.
2. Cut the Cajun Craze card stock at 3 1/4 inches x 10 inches and score along the long side at 4 1/2 and 7 1/4 inches. Fold on the scores and cut the DSP at 4 1/4 x 3 inches and 3 x 2 1/2 inches. Layer to the panels.
3. Wrap the ribbon around the end and then make a bow and adhere with a few glue dots.
4. Cut out the larger label die in Basic Black card stock. Using some scrap, stamp in black the “label” stamp and cut out with the smaller label die. Adhere each layer with dimensionals. Using the larger bat stamp, use the Versamark ink pad, and stamp on a basic black piece of scrap. Using the bat die, cut them out after heat embossing them. and attach with a dimensional.
5. To give a little extra color, I used 5 of the iridescent pearls.
6. Make sure to send a spooky card to your friends and family!

Welcome to the Glitter and Glam Blog Hop! This month we are featuring Halloween – which is one of my FAVORITE holidays!

I wanted to share a super easy party favor… or maybe you want to spook a co-worker, bank teller, postal carrier, your UPS delivery guy, of your significant other!

I have the perfect little coffin for you! Open if you dare! LOL

In our 2019 Holiday Catalog, on page 53, you will find these adorable boxes. The cool part – no dies or die machine required! YAY! They are set to assemble as soon as you receive them!

I suggest using Tombo Glue to assemble the boxes. But remember, a tiny bit goes a LONG way and be patient while assembling. Its worth the wait though.. I promise!

These are big enough to put several chocolates in, or other spooky gift.. or maybe something like ghoulish diamond earnings? Just wishing! LOL

Digits and Directions:

1. purchase the Coffin Treat Boxes – item #150451 $7.00 (you’ll get 12 boxes!)
2. Assemble them with Tombo Glue
3. Decorate as desired!
4. To decorate mine, I used the Scallop Circle Punch, The Spooktacular Bundle #153040 $48.50), the basic black 3/8 inch Scalloped Edge Ribbon (#150449 $8.00), And the Monster Bash DSP (item #150447 $11.50). I attached the items with dimensionals and glue dots.

Here are a few other pics of my project:
