Halloween treats

Here are the Halloween projects I made for the Stampin' Up Regional last week.

I was able to trade these with the other demonstrators and get a whack of new samples to share with you all.

This one is made using:

Cardstock: Early Espresso, Pumpkin Pie

Ink: Early Espresso

Accessories: 1X8 cello bags, Apothecary Accents Framelits Dies, Essentials Paper Piercing Templates, Basic Rhinestones, dimensionals and Candy Corn!

I made a triangle shape out of the Espresso cardstock by scoring it in 3 places, and adhering with Sticky Strip. I put about 7-8 candy corns in the package, and adhered it to the inside of the triangle with Sticky Strip as well.

Hope you like this SPOOKY TREAT!

Layered Labels

Hello! I wanted to show you a couple of cards I have designed recently using the new Layered Labels Stamp set, and the matching Apothecary Accents Framelits dies.

This is using the new Primrose Petals cardstock, along with Soft Suede and Very Vanilla. I also added some embossing using the new Fancy Fan embossing folder, and some sponging around the edges for a vintage look.

Here's the inside of the card:

Here's another one I made using the new Oval Accents Bigz Die to cut the shape of the card:

I cut the base from Whisper White, making sure to not cut off the card fold. Then I covered that with a layer of Primrose Petals cardstock, cut into the same shape (full). Added layers using Soft Suede and Whisper White, some Jumbo Pearls and some embossing with the new Argyle embossing folder. The centre oval is stamped ontoo Glossy White cardstock, sponged with Frost White Shimmer Paint, and allowed to dry. I stamped the image in Primrose Petals and then brayered over top with Crumb Cake to give a soft, vintage feel. Voila!
