Fright Night-- take two!

Here's another card using the Fright Night stamp. I covered the base of the card using the Bring on the Bats jumbo roller and concord crush. I used the Spider Web Embossing Folder on soft suede card stock to create the embossed web image. Then I wrapped it with the 1/2" lace trim. This lace trim is super cool! Check out the close up to see it better:

Fright Night!

I just love Halloween and Stampin' Up! has the coolest spooky and fun stuff for Halloween. I can't wait to show you all the cool stuff I'm making!

Here's the first one -- the Fright Night stamp is a single stamp in the back of the mini catalog. When I saw it, I knew I had to have it. I stamped it by coloring it with black and concord crush markers. Then I framed it with some crumb cake card stock. The concord crush background was created using the Bring on the Bats jumbo roller inked in concord crush ink. The spider web was created by putting the black card stock through the Big Shot with the Spider Web embossing folder and then sponging over the web parts with some frost white shimmer paint! Doesn't it look cool? Here's a close-up:

stamps:Bring on the bats roller, Fright night
ink: black, concord crush

Best Wishes this Fall

Here is a quick and simple fall card to make for anyone. I started with cajun craze card stock. Then I stamped the leaves and acorns from the Day of Gratitude stamp set in cajun craze, riding hood red, more mustard and early espresso on a strip the same width as the card. I finished it off with a piece of 3/8" early espresso taffeta ribbon. The border is created with the decorative scallop border punch.

For the sentiment I used "best wishes" from the Sincere Salutations stamp set. I punched it out with the Large oval punch and layered with with a piece of early espresso punched from with the designer label punch.

stamps: Day of Gratitude, Sincere Salutations
ink:cajun craze, more mustard, early espresso, riding hood red
paper: very vanilla, cajun craze, more mustard, early espresso
other: Large Oval punch, Designer label punch, decorative scallop border punch

I stamped the leaves by coloring them with the more mustard marker and then coloring the edges with the cajun craze marker. The sentiment is from the set Day of Gratitude and is stamped on Crumb Cake paper and punched out with the new XL decorative label punch. I added a little piece of olive striped ribbon as an accent.To make things look more aged, I sponged the edges with chocolate chip ink.

It took a little while to color in the stamp with markers but it looks very cool when stamped! I framed with with some chocolate chip card stock and then wrapped it with old olive ribbon. The thank you was punched out using the new XL decorative label punch. I love this new punch...the shape is really pretty!

Aren't they funny? The circles behind them are from the Apple Blossoms Hostess Set. The Happy Birthday sentiment is from the Afterthoughts Hostess set and punched out with the new XL decorative label punch.

Another Fall Thank you

I just love fall colors and leaves! They make the prettiest colors! For this card I started with a piece of Soft suede cut the long way (so it's 4 1/4 by 8 1/2). The I put it through the big shot with the Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder to create that beautiful background. The main image is a leaf from the set Autumn Splendor.

To make it look like it's two toned I used the Rock-and-Roll technique. Making sure to ALWAYS use the lighter color first, ink your stamp (in this case into the pumpkin pie), then take the inked stamp and lightly roll the edges on the darker ink pad (in this case early espresso). This is a fun technique but remember to use the lighter color first or you might ruin your ink pads!

To see another card using this set that I made last fall, click here.

The pretty script background on this leaf is from the set French Foliage and I stamped it in crumb cake ink. Then I finished it off with a thanks from the set Thank You Kindly.

stamps: Autumn Splendor, French Foliage, Thank you Kindly
ink: Soft Suede, early espresso, pumpkin pie, crumb cake
paper: soft suede, early espresso, very vanilla, pumpkin pie
other: pumpkin pie grograin
