Happy Fall fellow stampers! Welcome to September's Seashore Stampers Blog Hop!
This time round we have a wonderful sampling of Autumn, Thanksgiving and Halloween stamping projects to wet your crafting appetite. Enjoy the tour!
My project for your eye-candy pleasure is a Halloween card that is just perfect for treating someone with. I hope you want to give it a try. I used both the Cauldron Bubble and Spooky Sweets stamp sets from Stampin' Up! and the cutest designer series paper called Toil and Trouble! I also thought that the Garden Trellis embossing folder worked wonderfully well for this card too!

Stampin' Up! Products Used:
Cut:
Basic Black cardstock - base: 5 1/2" x 4 1/4";
Pumpkin Pie cardstock - 5 1/2" x 4" and scored on long side at 4"; Pocket base: 5" x 3 3/8"
Whisper White cardstock: pocket stamped piece: 4 3/4" x 3 1/8";
Scraps of Basic Black, Melon Mambo and Lemon Lime Twist for stamped and die cut broom, hat and frog
Toil and Trouble DSP: strip 6" x 4" and then cut a 2" piece of one long end
Next:
1. Stamp the Pumpkin Pie cardstock pocket piece with the background stamp using Pumpkin Pie ink. Now glue the 2" strip of DSP on top of the Pumpkin Pie pocket base (about 1/2 down from top edge).
2. Run this assembled piece through Big Shot with Garden Trellis Embossing folder (see photo for clarification). Place the cardstock piece into the embossing folder only up the fold line as you don't want to emboss the 1 1/2" of flap that gets glued to backside of card base.
3. Glue your embossed piece to the remaining 4" strip of DSP so that you have the DSP showing the right design up when glued to card base AND that your glued piece of both DSP and Pumpkin pie measure 5 1/4" long to the fold-line!
4. Now glue your folded and glued together DPS/pumpkin pie card strip "pocket" to your Basic Black card base (whew, that's a lot of words!).
5. Using Pumpkin Pie, Crushed Curry and Night of Navy inks, stamp the Whisper White pocket insert as shown in photo.
6. Stamp: your broom onto black cardstock with Whisper White craft ink; your frog onto Lemon Lime Twist cardstock with Night of Navy ink; your hat onto Melon Mambo carstock with Night of Navy ink.
7. Die cut your stamped broom, frog and hat.
8. Using the Glittered Organdy Black Ribbon, wrap around the card base and pocket pieces as shown in photo and tie a bow.
9. Glue your frog to the broom and then the broom to the hat (see photos)
10. Place two mini Stampin' Dimensionals to the back of the hat brim and attach to card front as shown over the ribbon.
11. Apply Wink of Stella to any portion of your card pieces as desired! I enhanced the stars on the hat.
Alrighty! You are done - Whoo-hoo!!! Now you can remake as many of these cards as you want! Enjoy :)
