granddaughters. They are all now basically almost grown – 2 in college and 2 in high school - but
they still enjoy getting fun cards from me at Halloween. I don’t always buy
every Halloween bundle that Stampin’ Up! offers but when I saw the <a href="https://www.stampinup.com/products/scary-silhouettes-dies"><span>Scary Silhouettes dies</span></a> I knew they would be great for making some really cute cards.
Then recently I saw a several examples of fun fold cards similar to this and
thought they would be a great design to use with the Scary Silhouettes dies. I
combined several ideas and here is my card.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">The Front -</span></o:p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCBANc_207_Mv228XiHCklx3UZxRAtv63Kl5tOUNIkXiFtJBoTIX6ouPgYI96IB--FX5bMNXxJLTUlH09v_EfyWriuohEx2JKiHW8DMH0pP16AOmCf1EEJwN0cXuflpaFld6D2EGo8f2Eib9YADnQsdL2AE_dLzIWR5KvfvEUPTCqRaS3kdZt_BBGndw/s701/BooFront.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: black; font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="701" data-original-width="577" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCBANc_207_Mv228XiHCklx3UZxRAtv63Kl5tOUNIkXiFtJBoTIX6ouPgYI96IB--FX5bMNXxJLTUlH09v_EfyWriuohEx2JKiHW8DMH0pP16AOmCf1EEJwN0cXuflpaFld6D2EGo8f2Eib9YADnQsdL2AE_dLzIWR5KvfvEUPTCqRaS3kdZt_BBGndw/w329-h400/BooFront.jpg" width="329" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><br /></span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: large;">The Inside -</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwE7RX3LY2bePj-7VH8wLaWCQ8mtCCqmSjiB-uGuAyfVXreGh2_4btCTKjH-6GkeNagtYnZFyoEg2QN-TiXIqrAsvxQvjTlZu8iSFWbXKTZgUzBdUVLUnlkC3vh7JyAhHtx9tf1e2IK6uNNrT8pL4ZNawXZDz2N-dJaXaxUis25z4-b2XvyrgKjaUG1w/s644/BooTop.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: black; font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="515" data-original-width="644" height="512" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwE7RX3LY2bePj-7VH8wLaWCQ8mtCCqmSjiB-uGuAyfVXreGh2_4btCTKjH-6GkeNagtYnZFyoEg2QN-TiXIqrAsvxQvjTlZu8iSFWbXKTZgUzBdUVLUnlkC3vh7JyAhHtx9tf1e2IK6uNNrT8pL4ZNawXZDz2N-dJaXaxUis25z4-b2XvyrgKjaUG1w/w640-h512/BooTop.jpg" width="640" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><br /></span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">(A video is available at the end of these directions.)</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><o:p><span> </span></o:p><span>This card has a number of steps but it really isn’t hard to
make. I started with an A2 Basic Gray card base (4.25” X 8.5” scored and folded
in half.) I decorated the front with a 3.5” X 4.75” piece of the Pumpkin Pie
diagonal plaid paper from the <a href="https://www.stampinup.com/products/gingham-cottage-12-x-12-30-5-x-30-5-cm-designer-series-paper" target="_blank">Gingham Cottage Designer Series Paper</a> and layered
it on top of a piece of 3 5/8” X 4 7/8” Pumpkin Pie cardstock. The die set
contains multiple bat dies in three different sizes so I cut out a bunch of
black bats to scatter on the card. </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><span>I decided I wanted to put a large BOO on the
front of the card but didn’t have a stamp for that. I got the idea to use a B
and an O from one of the stamp sets to make the word BOO. I checked my sets and
locked on to the </span><a href="https://www.stampinup.com/products/biggest-wish-photopolymer-stamp-set-(english)" target="_blank"><span>Biggest Wish</span></a><span> set. Which is a great set and only $17. I choose the B from BIRTHDAY and the O from HELLO. I
grabbed a 1” piece strip (although in hindsight I think a .75” might be better
so experiment) of Basic White card stock to try out my idea. In order to only ink
my chosen individual letters I used the Basic Black marker to add ink to the
letters I wanted and I used a piece of Scotch Removable tape to block off the
letters I wasn’t using. You could also use a Post-it note or Post-it Tape. Once
the letter has been colored with the Black ink you may need to huff on the
stamp in case some of the ink has dried.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">I stamped the B and it looked great. I then stamped an O and
saw that the image was far from a solid black. I thought - I need to use my
Stamparatus so I can stamp a number of times to get a solid black image and
then quickly realized that the distressed look I got was perfect for Halloween.
Every time I stamped a letter I got a different look. After stamping a number
of letters I had a bunch of Os with a look I liked. The B was a little more
difficult. After some experimenting I reached several conclusions. I think the
O was distressed initially because it was from a stamp that had never been used
whereas the BIRTHDAY stamp had been used previously. When the photopolymer
stamps are manufactured they initially can have a coating from the
manufacturing process which can result in the ink not sticking well the first
time or two it is inked up. For this reason Stampin’ Up! recommends that you
stamp a new photopolymer stamp a couple of times on scratch paper before
stamping on your project. I remembered that a stamp that has picked up oil from
our hands will not stamp as solid as a clean stamp. So to get multiple
distressed letters each time I stamped I would rub the stamp with my fingers.
Then sometimes I would let the ink sit on the stamp for 5 minutes or more. When
I looked at the stamp I could see the ink bead up like in the photo below. When
I thought it looked “good”, ie distressed, I huffed on it and stamped. I had to
stamp several times to get one I liked but it didn’t take long. I would do
other things while I let the inked stamp sit. Once you finish you should wash
your stamps to remove any oil on them. I then diagonally cut apart the letters
on the strips and was very pleased with the results. I arranged the letters on
the card and added some bats. Or you can skip all this and just stamp the
letters the way you normally would!<o:p></o:p></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: black; font-family: verdana; font-size: large; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLy497IzX7ivWeBpO-caiXqJiS3EPslXpLv6wp90FrHSqZXIJad1tMkjVzvkHljJyMwzlvZVS2yxICI0T63DgKC0P3fwWY1CC4SclOq2hN6LGu4a6LNPgcqAoATw5_bVuM3OUm0Q-6D9C1by2hAqs54ojeRr04xCat1Ucn_8ovyyHGQd_w6s5kwFLL6w/s2016/Bstamp.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2016" data-original-width="1512" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLy497IzX7ivWeBpO-caiXqJiS3EPslXpLv6wp90FrHSqZXIJad1tMkjVzvkHljJyMwzlvZVS2yxICI0T63DgKC0P3fwWY1CC4SclOq2hN6LGu4a6LNPgcqAoATw5_bVuM3OUm0Q-6D9C1by2hAqs54ojeRr04xCat1Ucn_8ovyyHGQd_w6s5kwFLL6w/w240-h320/Bstamp.jpg" width="240" /></a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">For the inside I started with a regular size card base (5.5
X 8.5) in black. I scored it at 4.25 along the long side as you would a
standard A2 portrait card and then flipped it over and scored at 2.25 from each
end. That way your end scores are indented one way and your center score is
another. I then used the branches silhouette die from the Scary Silhouettes die
set to cut out a window in the center of the Black piece along the center score
mark. Next cut .25” off of the top and bottom of the Black card. (You could
have started with a smaller piece of cardstock but I found it easier to start
with the standard size piece and then cut some off.) Then fold on the score
lines accordion style so the center one becomes a mountain and the end scores
are valleys. My Black piece was then divided into 4 equal size sections. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">Then I
decorated my Black piece. I cut a frame for the window from Pumpkin Pie
cardstock using the same Scary Silhouette window die and the outline die that
goes with it. This will result in a Pumpkin Pie frame with branches. I used my snips
to cut off the branches leaving the frame and adhered it around the window
opening. Next I decorated the left and right quarter pieces. I used a Pumpkin
Pie 2” X 4.75” layer and a Basic White 1 7/8” X 4 5/8” piece on the left side
to create a place to right a message. Then on the right I first cut out the cat
from the Scary Silhouettes die and adhered a tiny piece of Cajun Craze glimmer
paper from the Metallics and Glimmer Specialty paper behind the opening for the
cat’s eyes. The glimmer piece should be cut larger than the eyes because
glimmer paper can be hard to adhere so you need more surface area. The Fine-tip
glue pen is great for this but Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue worked fine for
me. Just make sure it has time to dry. I adhered the cat to a piece of Pumpkin
Pie 1 3/8” X 1 7/8” and placed it at the bottom of the right side. I then
placed a 1 3/4” X 3 1/8”piece of the Gingham Cottage Designer Series Paper on
to a 1 7/8” X 3 1/4” layer of Pumpkin Pie and centered it above the cat. I
added two Matte Black Dots to the Gingham Cottage paper on the right.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">Next I moved to the design for the window. Using the house
die from the same set I cut out a Black house and adhered a small yellow piece of
Daffodil Delight behind the top left window of the house. Then I adhered the
house in approximately the middle of the Basic Gray piece of cardstock. To
center the house left and right I placed the point of the roof on the middle
score line. To place it top to bottom I measured from the bottom of the Black
cardstock piece to the bottom of the window opening and added .25”. I placed a
pencil mark there. That should be the distance from the bottom of the gray
piece to the bottom of the house but please note for the placement of the house
these measurements do not really have to be exact. You do need to center the
house left and right but top to bottom you have some leeway since people will be
looking through the window at different angles. Next add a Daffodil Delight quarter
moon and a bat or two cut with the dies from the same set.</span></p><p>
</p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">Now you need to put it all together! First I adhered the left
quarter of the Basic Black card to the Basic Gray base card. To do this I applied
adhesive to the back of the left quarter of the Basic Black piece and placed that
piece about .25” from the Basic Gray card on three sides – the top, bottom and
left side. Then I applied adhesive to the back of the right quarter of the
Basic Black piece and accordion folded the Basic Black piece so it is all
stacked up on the left quarter piece and fold the Basic Gray piece over the
Black accordion folded piece. This should result in the correct placement of
the Black piece on to the Gray card base. Open the card and you should be
done!! If you have any trouble you can watch the video above and see me make
the card.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">Here is a video of me making the card.

It is not at all hard to make but I think it makes a big impact. Here is my card.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyGF-UboeqpUDSEFeYQCMLxStuAgNfsEWbw3A6nXwX25oVY49jnSmJJyvlAOyXt4z-BLDEYGHQPTeAr_UWZhKuU6zsZROh4uSSPX7NXUDejmGLqSIKGDIc87BMY-mZDbMcPMoID5QDzgtX6bxSFNedENodYSUaqvpZze72f7ONJ0NN-8WJnZWTrQtuAA/s660/DoubleFoldTextureChic.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: black; font-size: x-large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="650" data-original-width="660" height="428" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyGF-UboeqpUDSEFeYQCMLxStuAgNfsEWbw3A6nXwX25oVY49jnSmJJyvlAOyXt4z-BLDEYGHQPTeAr_UWZhKuU6zsZROh4uSSPX7NXUDejmGLqSIKGDIc87BMY-mZDbMcPMoID5QDzgtX6bxSFNedENodYSUaqvpZze72f7ONJ0NN-8WJnZWTrQtuAA/w436-h428/DoubleFoldTextureChic.jpg" width="436" /></span></a></div><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-large;">First you need to pick out three patterns from a collection of Designer Series Paper. For my card I used two patterns from Stampin' Up!'s Texture Chic, one with a leaf pattern and one a geometric design plus a piece of the coordinating Distressed Gold paper. This Distressed Gold paper is wonderful and can be used in all kinds of papercrafting situations.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-large;">Next you will need to choose and cut your cardstock. I used Stampin' Up!'s Blushing Bride (Stampin' Up! lists Petal Pink for the pink color used in the Texture Chic paper but I thought Blushing Bride was the best match for the specific pink panel that I used in my card). I cut a sheet of 8.5 X 11 in half along the long axis giving me a 4.5"X9.75" piece and then scored and folded it at 4.5". Then I cut a piece 3.5"X8.5" and scored and folded it in half at 4.25". You now have two cards, a large one and a small one. See the sketch below.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0tyrAi-rK_LrIt5aJPjA5k4aH3OMTOCOQLPO3YWOwvlxG81TeTKeCsK48n--EhnDjnKGtlFFyk2xTds79YU6wEwWbnRrt-336NBv5aGysTxGcqyE_t0fTHSJw2TwPDlJO5JKd2sQKlxIdCYtQfcfpG5yt6MQ9fmgfAN7qfhs0kzlWiaMHQkHcHyhNiA/s1758/Tight%20Sketch.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1150" data-original-width="1758" height="418" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0tyrAi-rK_LrIt5aJPjA5k4aH3OMTOCOQLPO3YWOwvlxG81TeTKeCsK48n--EhnDjnKGtlFFyk2xTds79YU6wEwWbnRrt-336NBv5aGysTxGcqyE_t0fTHSJw2TwPDlJO5JKd2sQKlxIdCYtQfcfpG5yt6MQ9fmgfAN7qfhs0kzlWiaMHQkHcHyhNiA/w640-h418/Tight%20Sketch.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><p></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">I then decorated the inside of the large card with a 4"X5.25" piece of Distressed Gold and the front of the large card with a 4"X4" piece from the Texture Chic collection. I then attached a different piece of 3"X4" DSP to the front of the small card. You should note that the small card opens with the fold on the right so that the front of that card might not be exactly where you expect it to be. Notice the front of the small card on my finished card above. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Now you want to put the two cards together. To do that you add adhesive to the back of the small card and center it in the middle of the Distressed Gold piece. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEij25X7omLX57x70LP1MtwOPjsY_53m1PAF6tigfrQhr3RxdB-uuzBka5AKWb3FXq29i7v1IGKIk5f_gUxUKcPZiuPl_2v-tFVZkJmT3STFI5IbQylmTjcpv8pJ9FRtLE_dz918VjEM20K3IgDJzpUM8i1tt2zhIfBvz6gFJJjb5VcUYGEMIFFzmDLUtg/s734/DoubleCardCenter.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="478" data-original-width="734" height="299" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEij25X7omLX57x70LP1MtwOPjsY_53m1PAF6tigfrQhr3RxdB-uuzBka5AKWb3FXq29i7v1IGKIk5f_gUxUKcPZiuPl_2v-tFVZkJmT3STFI5IbQylmTjcpv8pJ9FRtLE_dz918VjEM20K3IgDJzpUM8i1tt2zhIfBvz6gFJJjb5VcUYGEMIFFzmDLUtg/w459-h299/DoubleCardCenter.jpg" width="459" /></a></div><p></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-large;">For my sentiment I choose Wishing You the Happiest of Birthdays from the Charming Sentiments photopolymer stamp set. I stamped it with Versamark ink on to a piece of Pool Party cardstock and embossed with Stampin' Up! Gold Embossing Powder. I decided not to use the coordinating dies to cut out the sentiment because when I did try that I felt that the gold embossing did not pop the way I had hoped so I just used a retired label die but you could just cut the piece in a rectangle.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-large;">Once you have finished the card you can add a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside on the small card to write your message.

This year due to the pandemic restrictions I decided to send treat boxes containing candy. Many years ago I purchased some carry out boxes to use for gift packagi</span><span>ng. I decided to use those and decorate them for Halloween. I really struggled with how to decorate them. I came up with a few ideas that I was not excited about but thought they would be OK. I had started to make the various pieces but had not glued anything to the boxes when I checked out </span><a href="https://stampinpretty.com/2020/10/weekly-wow-picks-from-my-stampin-pretty-pals-10-18.html" target="_blank">Mary Fish's Wow Picks</a><span> on the Sunday before last (October 18) and stumbled upon the perfect solution! Here is what I created.</span></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-CrIt2wz7Z8c/X5t53rLMXXI/AAAAAAAACEA/w5qZT_-9NiogN3qoSrE9J2f7EOhI2-bqACLcBGAsYHQ/s670/dracula2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="670" data-original-width="668" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-CrIt2wz7Z8c/X5t53rLMXXI/AAAAAAAACEA/w5qZT_-9NiogN3qoSrE9J2f7EOhI2-bqACLcBGAsYHQ/w638-h640/dracula2.jpg" width="638" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">I love punch art and there are lots of ideas online for using punches in ways you never dreamed of! For this project I CASED a design from fellow Stampin' Pretty Pal <a href="https://stampartconnection.com/fun-dracula-vampire-punch-art-card/" target="_blank">Kat Chancellor</a> who in turn had gotten the idea from <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCu-U... https://youtu.be/tameK6vlhpY">Graciela Valdez Vera</a> a Stampin' Up! demonstrator in Mexico! Each of us made our Draculas a little different depending on what we had on hand. They both did videos that you can watch. Just click on their names. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">I will list some of the items I used but if you want to make one just look in your punches and see what you have on hand. This is how I made mine.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">My box was shorter than a standard 4.25"X5.5" card so my Dracula needed to be shorter. That meant the Stampin' Up! Apple punch that they used would not work. For the head I just drew a similar shape on white cardstock, cut is out and used that for a template for the head. I used a 1 3/8" circle for the hair because that size worked best with my head and then ends from the classic label punch for the ears. I drew in the eyebrows and mouth. For the eyes I punched out red circles with a hole punch and used the retired </span><span style="font-family: verdana;">Iridescent Pearls for the centers. You can't really tell in the picture but I used a black gel pen for his hair part (my chalk pen which they used is very old and it was not working). For the fangs I used the very tip of the retired Stampin' Up! Tree punch but next time I w</span><span style="font-family: verdana;">ould free hand them and make them skinnier. Then I went over</span><span style="font-family: verdana;"> </span><span style="font-family: verdana;">the fangs with Wink of Stella so they would stand out from his face. I used the retired owl punch for his vest and made the bow tie using two pieces from the tip of the Tree punch used earlier. Since the pieces were made from glimmer paper I adhered them together with glue dots. A hole punch created the knot which covered the seams of the bow tie which was again adhered with a glue dot. </span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: large;">I used the owl punch to create the vest and added tiny black glimmer paper buttons. The pants were made with the same Tree punch but any narrow triangle would work. I drew a line down the center with the black gel pen to create the two halves of the pants. The shoes were made with the small feet from the retired elephant punch but a half circle would also work. </span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">I made the cape with the retired Oval Collection dies but you could also use the Stitched Shapes oval dies. I first gave the cardstock texture using the Tasteful Texture 3D embossing folder and then cut three ovals for each cape and cut them to the right length across the short axis. I then cut staggered sized ovals out of two of the three shapes to create the look of pleats in his cape. For his collar I used the wings of the large bats from the <a href="https://www.stampinup.com/products/halloween-magic-dies" target="_blank">Halloween Magic dies</a>. This is a great die set! In addition to two sizes of bats there are two really wonderful frames dies that can be used year around and a large spider that I put on the box lid. I attached the Dracula to the box with a Wobble. I purchased a pack of these years ago and still had some left. They are fun to have on hand. <a href="https://smile.amazon.com/Hampton-Art-Mini-Action-Wobbles/dp/B01GUG2CW6/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=wobbles&qid=1604027190&sr=8-3&th=1" target="_blank">Here they are on Amazon</a>. I am sorry I didn't think to record of video of the wobbling Draculas in action before I mailed them. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">I decorated the boxes with small bats and a spider from the retired Wicked die set and added the sentiment using an old wood mount stamp I purchased many years ago. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><span>Here are the three different colors of Draculas that I made. </span>Look at your punches and see what can you come up with!</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-fzuv7AmdDTY/X5t72E09oyI/AAAAAAAACEU/TP3sP4mEnYMK-qRJPa6Ot_fFioLPcarSwCLcBGAsYHQ/s750/dracula1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="342" data-original-width="750" height="292" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-fzuv7AmdDTY/X5t72E09oyI/AAAAAAAACEU/TP3sP4mEnYMK-qRJPa6Ot_fFioLPcarSwCLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h292/dracula1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">Hope these have made you smile and that you enjoy your Halloween. 🎃</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">I </span><span style="background-color: white; color: red; font-family: verdana;">♥ </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana;">comments and would love </span><span style="font-family: verdana;">to hear what you think.</span></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span><span style="font-family: Calligraffitti; font-size: x-large;"><b>Katie</b></span></span></div><br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>Cottage Paperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07758367858604508551noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3122465395636645116.post-11797631220787660542020-10-20T23:00:00.557-05:002020-10-21T10:03:50.695-05:00Inking Royalty October Blog Hop<p></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qbwapyLFE1M/X49ksH1JjhI/AAAAAAAACAw/KM1bVhaGwmsYDcJwvGaNLcQtD20LR8EogCLcBGAsYHQ/s640/OctoberBlogHop.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="213" data-original-width="640" height="213" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qbwapyLFE1M/X49ksH1JjhI/AAAAAAAACAw/KM1bVhaGwmsYDcJwvGaNLcQtD20LR8EogCLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h213/OctoberBlogHop.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><br /></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #26282a;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-large;"><span face="verdana, sans-serif">Welcome to InKing Royalty's October Blog Hop!

The card consisted of two individual pieces, one fitting inside the the other like a card in an envelope. I thought it was a really neat design and decided that I would make a similar one sometime for my monthly card class. During the pandemic my class has been meeting on Zoom and making cards with the materials they pick up from my porch. As a result we don't use any Stampin' Up! stamps. Instead we do lots of interesting things with Designer Series Paper and dies. This month i decided to make Joy's card using my favorite new paper from the current mini catalog, Gilded Autumn Speciality Designer Series Paper. That paper was so loved by everyone it is currently out of stock but the good news is it will return - probably at the end of November so check back. Here is my card. </span></span></span></p><div><span style="background-color: #f8f8f8;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="background-color: white;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: black; font-size: xx-large; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: black; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: xx-large; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-SxES6wos7fk/X492GDoKGxI/AAAAAAAACBI/LNhnruofGs83ZJnXDKGlyyw6U6ECBz5yQCLcBGAsYHQ/s750/GratefulClosed.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="675" data-original-width="750" height="576" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-SxES6wos7fk/X492GDoKGxI/AAAAAAAACBI/LNhnruofGs83ZJnXDKGlyyw6U6ECBz5yQCLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h576/GratefulClosed.jpg" width="640" /></a></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: black; font-size: xx-large; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: black; font-size: xx-large; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: black; font-size: xx-large; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2oF02ZOglKk/X4917Xa7y3I/AAAAAAAACBE/TKZpcabv2SgXH-jjmzlN_DbX8rRukHGAgCLcBGAsYHQ/s866/GratefulOpen.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="866" data-original-width="676" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2oF02ZOglKk/X4917Xa7y3I/AAAAAAAACBE/TKZpcabv2SgXH-jjmzlN_DbX8rRukHGAgCLcBGAsYHQ/w500-h640/GratefulOpen.jpg" width="500" /></a></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: black; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">This is the card with the inside piece pulled out.</span></div><span style="color: black; font-family: verdana;"><div style="font-size: xx-large; text-align: center;"><br /></div><span style="font-size: x-large; letter-spacing: normal;"><div><span style="background-color: #f8f8f8;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: black; font-family: verdana;"><span style="color: #333333; font-size: x-large; letter-spacing: normal;">During this pandemic I have been sending thank you type cards to just regular people trying to </span><span style="font-size: x-large; letter-spacing: normal;">do their jobs</span><span style="color: #333333; font-size: x-large; letter-spacing: normal;"> in these difficult times.

This measurement produced a completed piece that will fit easily into a mailing envelope without having too much play. Score it at 2 7/8" from each end and then cut a triangular piece off the top corner of each end as shown.</span></span></span><div style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: xx-large; letter-spacing: normal;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div><div style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: xx-large; letter-spacing: normal;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div><div style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: xx-large; letter-spacing: normal;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-iwF6cOhXVlw/X45HnVMjbkI/AAAAAAAACAU/evlZZXUR3u0Iu2v5zWtWP5aD1MXvb9qFQCLcBGAsYHQ/s1463/EnvieCardTemp.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><img border="0" data-original-height="740" data-original-width="1463" height="325" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-iwF6cOhXVlw/X45HnVMjbkI/AAAAAAAACAU/evlZZXUR3u0Iu2v5zWtWP5aD1MXvb9qFQCLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h325/EnvieCardTemp.png" width="640" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Then fold along the score lines. You will see that the two side pieces overlap each other about 3/8. If you use a pattern paper it is unlikely that your pattern will match at the center seam so experiment with the fold of your paper having each side on top to see which way looks the best. A busy pattern will make the seam less noticeable. Once this is done add Tear & Tape adhesive all along the very bottom edge of the center of the paper. Then add Tear & Tape along the side edge of the paper that you decided looks best on top. Remove the paper backing from the Tear & Tape and fold, lining up the bottom edges. Burnish along the adhesive lines.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">For my card I did use the So Grateful sentiment from the Ornate Thanks photopolymer stamp set and masked off the "So" and only inked up the Grateful. I love the large bold images in this set plus all the wonderful smaller phrases that can be used individually or along with the larger ones. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Stamp your sentiment on a piece of Very Vanilla and cut with the die shown from the Hippo & Friends die set. I used the middle size die. Then cut a piece of Early Espresso cardstock with the largest matching die from the set. I totally overlooked these dies until one day I saw a card made using the exact dies I used on this card. After checking the catalog and seeing all the great dies in the set I immediately added it to my order. I encourage you to check it out!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">For the inside I cut a piece of Very Vanilla 3 7/8"X5 1/8" and adhered a 1/2" strip of the DSP that was left over from the "envelope" along the side. I put the reverse side up. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I decided it needed a little something more. I looked at all my leaf dies and nothing caught my eye so I decided to check out some of my past Paper Pumpkin kits and discovered some perfect leaves in the September 2017 Layered Leaves kit. That is the wonderful thing about Paper Pumpkin kits. There are always lots of pieces left over which can be added to projects later. It is a great way to add to your supplies. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Thank you for stopping by today.

<span style="background-color: white;"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: #555555; font-size: large;"><span style="font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit;">I went to a Stampin' Up! demonstrator event in June and some of the attendees participated in a card swap. I did not participate but I looked at my table mates cards. One of the cards by Joy Hall used the </span></span><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0XcvaXYe7RQ" style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; font-style: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;">Noble Peacock DSP</span></a><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: #555555; font-size: large;"><span style="font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit;"> (click on the name to see a Stampin' Up! video of how </span>gorgeous<span style="font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit;"> this DPS is). I immediately realized I needed to add this paper to my next order! </span></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: #555555; font-size: large;"><span style="font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: #555555; font-size: large;"><span style="font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit;">To make my card I used a piece of the Blueberry Bushel DSP and combined it with Granny Apple green cardstock and ink. The sentiment is from the </span><a href="https://www.stampinup.com/ecweb/product/149340/everything-amazing-photopolymer-stamp-set" style="font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit;">Everything Amazing</a><span style="font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit;"> photopolymer stamp set. You can not tell from the photo but I used clear embossing powder to emboss the sentiment. Unfortunately the </span>shininess<span style="font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit;"> of the embossed sentiment does not show in the photo but I think the embossing really makes this sentiment pop! To emboss it I used the Stamparatus. I stamped a Whisper White piece of cardstock that I cut with the <a href="https://www.stampinup.com/ecweb/product/148551/stitched-rectangle-dies">Stitched Rectangle dies</a>, first with the colored ink (and if you wish to have the sentiment a little darker you can even stamp it a 2nd time with the Stamparatus). Then once I stamp it with the colored ink I stamp it again with <a href="https://www.stampinup.com/ecweb/product/102283/versamark-pad">Versamark ink</a>. Versamark is a clear sticky ink that will allow embossing powder to adhere to it. Then I sprinkle it with clear embossing powder and melted it with a heat gun. This is another fabulous use for the Stamparatus. </span></span></span></div>

I stamped them with Versamark on Blueberry Bushel cardstock, embossed them with clear embossing powder and snipped them out. I also stamped the candles with Versamark on Mango Melody cardstock and cutout just the flames. I then glued the flames on top of the Blueberry candles and colored the flames with a clear Gelly Roll pen. You can get two of the pens <a href="https://smile.amazon.com/Sakura-37906-2-Piece-Pouch-Stardust/dp/B01J3W0ONS/ref=sr_1_2?crid=1TKFN8NSSH010&keywords=gelly+roll+stardust+clear&qid=1565722144&s=gateway&sprefix=gelly+roll+star%2Caps%2C225&sr=8-2">here</a> on Amazon. </span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Welcome to InKing Royalty's July Blog Hop! This year's Blog Hop themes are inspired by a single word - and this month our projects are centered around SUNSHINE. The Sun is the single most important source of energy for life on Earth - it guides our clocks, calendars and planting schedules. We may be enduring a heat wave this week, but we still associate the Sun with positivity, joy and renewal. We are excited to share our creations with you today! After you read my post, I hope you'll hop over to the next person on the list at the base of this post.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">In June I attended a Stampin' up! demonstrator event in Huntsville. One of the things Demonstrators do when they get together is participate in card swaps. I decided not to participate in any of the swaps but I checked out the swaps that my table mates received. I took pictures of some of the ones I thought might serve as an inspiration for future cards. One of the swaps was for cards made with the <a href="https://www.stampinup.com/ecweb/product/151118/daisy-lane-bundle">Daisy Lane Bundle</a> and one the Daisy Lane cards particularly caught my attention. I decided I wanted to CAS (Copy and Share) it. I loved the bright flowers punched out from two different colors of cardstock. They looked like Black-eyed Susans to me and really said summer and sunshine! Here is my card. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Here is the card I CASed. I am sorry it and the following one are so dark! I just had better lighting when I took the picture of my card. :-) I took this picture at the event. It was in a cellophane envelope which resulted in the glare at the top of the card.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">There were three things that caught my attention on the swap card and that I wanted to use on my card. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">1) I really liked the look of the wood background and was puzzled as to how it was done and it took me a while to figure it out. I realized that the grain pattern matched the pattern on the Pinewood Planks 3D Embossing Folder so I knew that was used. I then decided that a Soft Suede Ink Pad was drug over vanilla cardstock to create the wood design. I discovered after the fact that Kimberly Parker, the maker of the original card, had used several more steps to create her background but I had already used my shortcut worked and decided that it looked quite fine. (FYI Stampin' Up! is currently awaiting a shipment of the Pinewood Planks folder and it will soon be available to order. The item # will be 143708.)</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">2) I also thought having the flowers stamped on two different colors of cardstock </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">(Very Vanilla and Crushed Curry)</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"> </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">made them really pop. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">3) I liked the Hello sentiment and really loved that it was tucked into the flowers. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>

</style>
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I added <a href="https://www.stampinup.com/ecweb/product/144141/gold-faceted-gems">Gold Faceted Gems</a> to my card and colored them with a <a href="https://www.stampinup.com/ecweb/product/146875/dark-soft-suede-stampin-blends-marker">Dark Soft Suede Blends</a>. I used some brown grosgrain ribbon I had but you could also use a narrow strip of Early Espresso cardstock embossed with the Subtle 3D Embossing Folder in place of ribbon and added some leaves. I used a retired Christmas die set to create the leaves but lots of die sets would work. I stamped the Hello from the <a href="https://www.stampinup.com/ecweb/product/149468/free-as-a-bird-cling-stamp-set">Free as a Bird set</a> and cut it out with the <a href="https://www.stampinup.com/ecweb/product/149468/free-as-a-bird-cling-stamp-set">Stitched Rectangle Dies</a>. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">My monthly card class made this card on last Sunday. Sometimes they make cards that look exactly like mine but at other times they change things around. Thought I would show you one of the CASes of my card. This one is by Kay Cole. It is always fun to see what they do! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Welcome to InKing Royalty's February Blog Hop! This year's Blog Hop themes are inspired by a single word - and this month our projects are centered around BIRTHDAY. It's always special to celebrate the birthday of someone you love, so handmade birthday cards are always fun to share. We are excited to share our creations with you today! After you read my post, I hope you'll hop over to the next person on the list at the base of this post.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">When I first look at a new catalog I am not always the best at choosing the stamp sets that will become favorites but I fell in love with the Hand Delivered host set from the very beginning. It can be purchased with the Stampin Rewards you can receive from a $150 purchase. Not only is it very fun and cute, in my opinion, it is one of the most versatile stamp sets ever offered by Stampin up!. In addition to birthday there are five other occasions provided in the images and sentiments! Of course today I am using it for a birthday card today. Here is my card. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />The attendees of my monthly card class like to make birthday cards to send to friends and family and we had not made one in a couple of months so I wanted to use this set for a birthday card. I love the sign she is holding but the birthday sentiment in the set is not designed to fit on the sign. It is designed to fit on a banner somewhere else on the card so I pulled a birthday sentiment from an old retired stamp set. After I did that I realized that the sign was a perfect place to simply hand write any sentiment for any occasion that one desires! After all isn't the sign logically assumed to have been written by the sign holder? What a great opportunity to have any form of custom sentiment! Think about all the possibilities - they are truly limitless.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">For my card I used the <a href="https://www.stampinup.com/ecweb/product/147794/buffalo-check-clear-mount-stamp-set" target="_blank">Buffalo Check stamp</a> with Daffodil Delight ink to create the background. I stamped it several times using the <a href="https://www.stampinup.com/ecweb/product/146276/stamparatus" target="_blank">Stamparatus</a>. I then created layers using Daffodil Delight, Pool Party and Whisper White. I stamped the images with Tuxedo Black Memento ink on to a piece of Whisper White cardstock and colored the legs, hands and skirt with Stampin' Blends markers using Light Pool Party for the background of the skirt, Light Granny Apple Green for the leaves and various colors for the flowers themselves. I then cropped the image with one of the rectangles from the Stitched Rectangle Framelits Dies. I wanted a colored band behind the Daffodil Delight layer and since I did not have any Pool Party ribbon I created a band by cutting a piece of Pool Party cardstock the dimensions I wanted and then embossing the piece with the <a href="https://www.google.com/search?rlz=1C1LEND_enUS486US486&ei=o3xsXIKLBpG4ggeDlZLwCA&q=stampin+up+subtle+embossing+folder&oq=stampin+up+subtile&gs_l=psy-ab.3.0.0i13l2j0i13i30l3j0i8i13i10i30l2.3704.5925..8319...0.0..0.110.469.6j1......0....1..gws-wiz.......0i71j35i39j0i20i263j0j0i67j0i22i30j0i22i10i30j33i160.nR5KzVwHyfs" target="_blank">Subtle Embossing Folder</a>. I have used cardstock bands many times in the past but now that we have the Subtle Embossing Folder the band has a slight ribbon texture.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;">Welcome to InKing Royalty's January Blog Hop! This year's Blog Hop themes are inspired by a single word - and this month our projects are centered around LOVE. You're certain to see some amazing ideas for Valentine's Day in the hop, but there are other ways to honor love in the lineup, too. What fun! We are excited to share our creations with you today! After you read my post, I hope you'll hop over to the next person on the list at the base of this post.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">When I first saw the So Happy Together stamp set in the new Sale-a-bration (SAB) catalog </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I immediately decided that, while there were some cute things about the set, I was definitely not interested in getting it! (Please don't judge me!) There were plenty of other great things in the SAB catalog which, by the way, are all available as a free gift with an order of $50 or more. Then I saw this great <a href="https://stampwithbrian.com/2019/01/01/hoppy-new-year/">New Year's card</a> posted by my upline Brian King and I thought maybe I need it after all! Here is my card. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">As I was looking for ideas for Valentine cards to make with my monthly card class when my eyes caught a glimpse of the juggling frog on the unicycle in the So Hoppy Together set. It occurred to me that he could be juggling hearts! I had also planned to use the group of hearts in the Be Mine Stitched Framelits Dies on another card and had all the punch out hearts sitting on my table. I used the tiniest ones for the juggler and some of the other small ones for the sitting frog. (I had to cut out 2 pieces of cardstock with the die in order to get enough tiny hearts.) You also could use tiny hearts from other Framelits sets and punches. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I stamped everything with Tuxedo Black Memento ink and used Stampin Blends for coloring the images. For the frogs I used light and dark Granny Apple Green with dark Daffodil Delight for the "spots". On the unicycle I used more dark Daffodil Delight plus dark Smoky Slate and dark Basic Black. The card base is Granny Apple Green cardstock with a layer of Daffodil Delight and then the Whisper White stamped layer which I cut with the largest rectangle die from the Rectangle Stitched Framelits Dies. I cheated a little on the sentiment. The set contains the sentiment "Hoppy for you". I found an old wood mount greeting set that had the sentiment "Happy Valentine's Day". I could have masked the unneeded parts of each stamp I took the quick and easy way out. I unmounted the wood mount sentiment and cut off "for you" and "Happy" from the two stamps to make the sentiment I needed. While the stamp I used to add the "Valentine's Day" is no longer available there are many current or retired sets that would have a sentiment that would work here. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I think the first greeting cards that I ever made were ones that I helped my kids make to sent to their grandparents. That was a long time ago - probably before many of you were born. Our options for supplies were extremely limited! I think the only place to buy anything for crafting was our local Kmart or Woolco (a discount owned by Woolworth that is now out of business). Mainly our supplies consisted of construction paper and that was only in primary colors, no Bermuda Bay or Granny Apple Green! I remember wishing I could buy dollies, especially heart shaped ones. I knew they existed because I had seen pictures of them but I had never seen any for sale. Things have sure changed and it is wonderful to have the all fantastic products that Stampin Up! now offers to crafters no matter where you live. </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Hope you make some Valentine's Day cards this year either by yourself or with others. </span><span style="color: #c62c3a; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Happy Valentine's Day!!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Welcome to InKing Royalty's January Blog Hop! This year's Blog Hop themes will be inspired by popular songs - the first is "I Think I Love You." Our Blog Hop today is jam-packed with projects that are perfect for Valentine's Day or that showcase love. How sweet is that?! We are excited to share our love-themed creations with you today. After you read my post, I hope you'll hop over to the next person on the list at the base of this post.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">I am so excited to see all the projects in today's hop!! I still have a couple of more cards to make and expect to get some ideas from all the projects today. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Today's card is my take on an idea that I have seen used in the past. Here is my card.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-20sC2q-qD28/Wmem5LXc5qI/AAAAAAAABTw/35_YUDtvFc8rkPSCNF5djy6qWxpyRSUmgCLcBGAs/s1600/FlyingHeartCard.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1419" data-original-width="1246" height="640" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-20sC2q-qD28/Wmem5LXc5qI/AAAAAAAABTw/35_YUDtvFc8rkPSCNF5djy6qWxpyRSUmgCLcBGAs/s640/FlyingHeartCard.jpg" width="560" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Hearts flying out of an envelope is a very cute idea for Valentine's Day and depending on the colors and papers you use it is an idea that can work for any sex, age or relationship! I lead a card making group that meets once a month and this is one of the cards we made last Sunday. The group all started out with the same materials, although they did make use of some leftover cardstock and hearts from the first card we made that day, yet all of the heart arrangements turned out very different!! I really love it when they get creative and don't just duplicate my sample.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">We started out by stamping on the <a href="https://www.stampinup.com/ecweb/productdetails.aspx?productid=145595" target="_blank">Crumb Cake</a> card base with the <a href="https://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=133035" target="_blank"><span style="color: #351c75;">Hardwood</span></a> background stamp using <a href="https://www.stampinup.com/ecweb/productdetails.aspx?productid=102283" target="_blank"><span style="color: #351c75;">Versamark ink</span></a>. A couple of them were new to stamping and were very impressed with how the Versamark ink works. It really is a very versatile product.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Next we used the <a href="https://www.stampinup.com/ecweb/productdetails.aspx?productid=133774" target="_blank">Envelope Punch Board</a> to make a small envelope to hold our hearts. The Envelope Punch Board is a really fun tool to make envelopes of all sizes. The board has all the measurements for different sizes printed right on the board, although the smallest size envelope listed is 2" X 3 1⁄2". I thought the card needed a smaller envelope. Fortunately the manufacturers of the Board have a website with a <a href="http://www.wermemorykeepers.com/envelope/envelopegenerator.html?hc_location=ufi" target="_blank">calculator</a> that will produce the measurements for any size envelope. I told the calculator I wanted an envelope that was 1 3⁄4" X 2 1⁄4". The calculator said I needed to start with a square 4 1⁄8" and make my first score line at 1 7⁄8". Then follow the standard punch board directions. This produced a perfect </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">1 3⁄4" X 2 1⁄4" envelope!! We made our envelopes out of a standard <span style="color: #351c75;"><a href="https://www.stampinup.com/ecweb/productdetails.aspx?productid=107300" target="_blank">Very Vanilla envelope</a></span>. I cut the front panel in a </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">4 1⁄8" square. </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">You could also use cardstock or Designer Series Paper to make your envelope. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Next we cut out a bunch of hearts in a couple of sizes from <a href="https://www.stampinup.com/ecweb/productdetails.aspx?productid=102482" target="_blank"><span style="color: #351c75;">Real Red cardstock</span></a></span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">, one of the gold prints in the</span><span style="color: #351c75; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"> <a href="https://www.stampinup.com/ecweb/productdetails.aspx?productid=144143" target="_blank">Bundle of Love Designer Paper</a></span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"> and the</span><span style="color: #351c75; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"> <a href="https://www.stampinup.com/ecweb/productdetails.aspx?productid=144177" target="_blank">Wood Textures Paper Stack</a></span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">. My group all lives in a woodsy mountain area so this great paper with photographs of various woods fits right in. We have used it for many different cards. I found the best way to arrange the hearts was to first place them in the envelope with no adhesive and arrange and rearrange them until I was pleased with the design. I then used my phone to photograph the arrangement </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">and used that image as a guide when adhering</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"> the hearts to the envelope. When I was ready to do the final placement with the adhesive I started at the very top of the envelope and worked my way down. Once I had all the hearts in place I adhered the back of the envelope to the card base. I did not adhere the flap. Instead I placed a tiny piece of </span><a href="https://www.stampinup.com/ecweb/productdetails.aspx?productid=141825" style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif;" target="_blank"><span style="color: #351c75; font-size: x-large;">Foam Adhesive Strip</span></a><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"> at the very top of the envelope flap. This helped give the illusion that the hearts were flying out as the envelope was being opened! You could also use </span><a href="https://www.stampinup.com/ecweb/productdetails.aspx?productid=104430" style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif;" target="_blank"><span style="color: #351c75; font-size: x-large;">Stampin' Dimensionals</span></a><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"> but they are only about one half the thickness of the strips. I did use <a href="https://www.stampinup.com/ecweb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=144108" target="_blank">Mini Stampin' Dimensionals</a></span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">, cut in half, to adhere the three tiny hearts off the top of the envelope. For those with thickness concerns I will tell you that the card will have no trouble fitting in its envelope for mailing and it should not require additional postage. I have had a package of Foam Adhesive Strips in my adhesive drawer since they originally came out and only first used them this past Christmas for a snow globe tag. Now I </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">love</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"> </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">them! I still use dimensionals but I also use strips.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">You may not realize it but many of the Framelit and Thinlit Dies in the catalog contain a heart shape. For the hearts for this card we used <a href="https://www.stampinup.com/ecweb/productdetails.aspx?productid=143730" target="_blank"><span style="color: #351c75;">Wood Crate</span></a>; <a href="https://www.stampinup.com/ecweb/productdetails.aspx?productid=137547" target="_blank"><span style="color: #351c75;">Mini Treat Bag</span></a>; and <span style="color: #351c75;"><a href="https://www.stampinup.com/ecweb/productdetails.aspx?productid=141707" target="_blank"><span style="color: #351c75;">Sweet & Sassy</span></a>. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Hope that you see something on the Hop that makes you feel inspired to make a Valentine project or two. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Welcome to InKing Royalty's February Blog Hop! Today's Blog Hop is filled with projects inspired by a Birthday Bliss theme. What fun! Stampin' Up! catalogs are filled with fun, festive and beautiful ways to make birthdays special - and we are excited to share our creations with you today. We are also excited to welcome guest designer Michelle Last to our team's blog hop this month. After you read my post, I hope you'll hop over to the next person on the list at the base of this post.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Balloon Adventures is a new stamp set in Stampin' Up's Occasions catalog. It contains several balloon stamps with strings, confetti and lots of sentiments!! While I have seen the set used to make cards with balloons of lots of bright colors, I decided it would be fun to use it to make a more classy card! I thought black and white with "gold" would be a great color combination and was inspired by Canadian demo Sandi MacIver's take on <a href="https://i0.wp.com/stampinwithsandi.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Balloon-Adventures-Masculine-Card-in-Green.jpg" target="_blank">this card</a> from Stampin' Up!</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">. What a difference changing up the colors can make!!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">I decided to use gold embossing powder on the balloons of various neutral colors and then picked my three favorite ones. Here is my card.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">One of the things I like about this card is that it could be used for either sex and for various occasions! I stamped the confetti with Versamark on the sides of the black cardstock base and then embossed it with Stampin Up!'s gold embossing powder. Next I stamped and embossed the dotted balloon on three different colors of cardstock (Soft Suede, Whisper White and Crumb Cake) and punched them out with the coordinating Balloon Bouquet punch. I arranged them on a white layer and stamped It's Your Birthday in black at the bottom of the white layer. I then drew "strings" from each balloon with a Basic Black Marker. </span></div>

The tutorial required a 12"X12" piece of cardstock. I thought the box would be a good one to use for Valentine's Day treats to send to one of my granddaughters and her friends but I wanted to try to make the boxes out of a standard 8 1/2"X11" piece of cardstock. After a little bit of playing I came up with the measurements. Here is one of the finished treats that I sent.</b></span><br />

<b><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">I cut Flirty Flamingo cardstock to 7 1/2" X 10 3/4" and then scored as indicated and cut away the shaded areas. Next I cut the flaps for the top and bottom along the score lines as seen on each side of the diagram. I then decorated the box with stamped and embossed images from the Sealed with Love stamp set which is available in the new Occasions catalog. Depending on how your box is decorated, it can be important to do this step <u>before</u> you do any actual folding! I also decided to use the Gift Box Punch Board to cut away part of each flap on the bottom of the box. I felt this made for a more finished bottom but this step is optional and it also could be done with scissors. You want to use a strong adhesive to assemble your box. I used Stampin' Up! Tear & Tape. In lieu of decorating the top of the box I decided to cut a circle in the top and cover it with an acetate sheet. That created a window which allowed the candy inside to become part of the decoration. Due to this window it was necessary for me </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">to trim the two flaps on top closer to the sides of the box so they would not show through the window in the top. </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">I then made a tag using another image from the Sealed with Love set. I stamped the image with</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"> Versamark and Flirty Flamingo inks and embossed it with clear embossing powder. I put the box in a cellophane bag and tied it with the new Gold Metallic Ribbon from the Sale-a-brat</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">ion catalog that I received free with a $50 order. </span></b><br />

I stumbled across this Stampin’ Up! video about
box making and I found it to be fantastic!!!
The Stampin’ Up! Gift Box Punch Board is great for making really small
boxes but this video shows how to make larger ones. You are only
limited by the size of the cardstock. Stampin’ Up!’s heavy cardstock
and Designer Series Paper is perfect for making these boxes. I have
made boxes in the past and sometimes I have used different
paper/cardstock on the bottom and lid but I have never made a box with
a shorter lid so that both colors show (not sure I would even know how
to figure out the math for that!). In this video Donna shows how to
make custom sized boxes and even rectangular boxes (I am sure I would
not know how to figure out the math for that!!). With colorful
cardstock and even patterned paper for the lid, all tied up with cute
ribbon, you have great gift packaging with no wrapping needed. Gift
packaging is needed all year long but especially at this time of
year!!! Check out the video and let me know your favorite part. While
you are there view some of the other great YouTube Stampin’ Up! videos.
Happy Box Making!!!

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Welcome to InKing Royalty's April Blog Hop. Today we are celebrating April Showers - not only is this the season for Baby Showers and Wedding Showers, but May flowers are just around the corner, so you're certain to see a great variety of projects along the hop. You may have started the Blog Hop here or may have hopped over from Candy Ford at <a href="http://stampcandy.net/">Stamp Candy</a>. After you read my post, I hope you'll hop over to the next. If you get off track at any point during the blog hop, there's a complete list of participants at the end of this post.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">My project today is for a wedding Shower. This is a gift for the son of some of our friends and his bride. I knew I wanted to use the floral Festive Designer Kraft Paper roll to wrap the gift and the card would need to coordinate. I love this paper and have ordered many multiple rolls (and hope to order more before it sells out!!). It fits right in with the cottage decor of my mountain community and can be used for any occasion. It comes in a set of two rolls - one with stripes and the other one that I used here. Here is my gift and the card to go with it.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">I wanted to make a 3"X3" card. I started with Brushed Gold cardstock which I also LOVE and is great to use for layering. I thought Very Vanilla was the best base color to use with the wrapping paper. I then looked for a stamp but I have never bought very many wedding stamps and when I was not pleased with my choices I turned to My Digital Studio (MDS). MDS is a wonderful resource and sadly Stampin' Up! has announced that the software and downloads are being retired. The good news is that all MDS products are currently 30% off and if you do not have this software now is the time to acquire it! It can be used for so many projects, not just scrapbooking! When I looked at the MDS "stamps" I came across the Together Forever stamp which I thought was perfect. I paired it with a frame from the Frames with a Flourish digital set and printed it on Vanilla cardstock with Baked Brown Sugar digital ink. Another paper that I really love is Typeset and it goes great with Very Vanilla and Brushed Gold. I first scrunched the paper up in a ball and then flattened it to make a wrinkley layer. To finish it off I added some Venetian Crochet Trim and a few pearls to the Brushed Gold layer and popped it up with some dimensionals. I created a Typeset liner for the 3"X3" envelope using an Envelope Liners Framelit. Once I have written my message I will seal the envelope with some of the Stacked with Love washi tape that contains the little gold hearts. I love using washi tape to seal envelopes! It adds embellishment to the envelope and allows the envelope to be sealed and opened without damaging the envelope or liner.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Welcome to the March Pals Blog Hop where we are celebrating spring. This month we are featuring spring related projects for Mother’s Day, Easter or any other occasion that celebrates winter coming to an end.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">You may just be starting the blog hop or may have come from September Gray at <a href="http://www.septembergray.com/" target="_self">septembergray.com</a> on the Pals Hop. If you get off track at any time, the full lineup below will help you move along from blog to blog so you see all of the amazing creations.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Today is the birthday of my daughter. I won't tell you how old she is - she wouldn't care if I did but then you would know how old I am! :-) When I saw the Painted Blooms Designer Series paper in real life I was struck by how gorgeous the flowers were! The pictures in the catalog and on the online store do not begin to do them justice! I am not a big flower person but as soon as I saw this paper I knew I wanted to use it on a card.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Blackberry Bliss (a color you also have to see in real life to truly appreciate) is one of the colors in the Painted Blooms DSP and purple is one of my daughters favorite colors. It seemed like these products would be perfect for a birthday card for her. Here is the card I made.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">I used two of the Painted Blooms patterns - the roses and the leaves - on a Blackberry Bliss layer. I then cut a strip of Blackberry Bliss cardstock to cover the seam and used the Large Scallop Edgelit die to create a decorative edge along the bottom of the strip. I stamped the birthday sentiment using the Petite Pairs stamp set. I thought a square piece of cardstock would look best on the card but since the birthday sentiment did not fill the square I needed something to balance it. I tried Candy Dots but they overpowered the sentiment so I used tiny Rose Red dots punched out with the Owl Builder punch. For a final touch I lined the envelope with a piece of the pansy DSP (it is my favoand scalloped edge of both the paper and the envelope.</span><br />

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Welcome to the February InKing Royalty Blog Hop. We're excited to share projects that share inspiration for Valentine's Day and our love of Stampin' Up! products. This hop is all about love. </span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">You may have started the Blog Hop here or may have hopped over from Kelly DeTommaso at Kelly's Creative Corner. After you read my post, I hope you'll hop over to the next. If you get off track at any point during the blog hop, there's a complete list of participants at the end of this post.</span><span style="background-color: transparent;"> </span>
<br /><br />
</span><br />
<div style="color: #222222;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">One of my favorite products in the new </span></span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Occasions catalog is the Happy Heart Embossing Folder!! I just love the cute little hearts it embosses all over my piece of cardstock. I think it could be a great card front all by itself or maybe just add a couple of silver or gold hearts punched out with the small heart punch that is in the Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack. They will fit perfectly over the embossed Happy Hearts. So simple and so classy!</span></span></div>
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">I also thought they would look great embossed on a box made with the Curvy Keepsake Box Thinlet. I was not impressed with the Curvy Box Thinlet when I first saw it in the Holiday Catalog It seemed of limited use and it was a little pricey but after I saw all the things that could be done with it I put it on my next order! Last fall I made some autumn themed boxes and someone asked if they could be embossed. After a little experimenting I created a box embossed using the Chevron Embossing Folder. When I saw the Happy Hearts Folder I thought the hearts would look great on a Curvy Box! The Hearts were a little trickier than the Chevrons since the Chevrons have no right side or top or bottom but with a little experimentation I was able to figure it out.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">First I should say that this is on "off label" use of your embossing folder! It involves sending the folder through your Big Shot sideways ie horizontally not vertically. I had done this in the past with other folders so I knew it could be done. You may notice that your folders are just a little bit too long to fit through your Big Shot sideways. Not to be deterred I also noticed that there is 1/2" or more of extra plastic at the bottom of the folders. I had an old school type guillotine paper cutter and I used it to trim the ends of my folders. This shortened them enough that would then fit in the Big Shot sideways. Then I placed one side of the Curvy Box piece in the folder with the hearts facing the correct direction on the cardstock and had the other side hanging off the edge of the folder. Then I embossed the other side of the piece and repeated with the second box piece. This will result in the bottom pieces of the box being embossed twice which is not a problem since the bottom doesn't show. You can then assemble your box and fill it with treats. Close it at the top and decorate. Here is my box.</span><br />

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">I used several different punches/dies to create the hearts that decorate my box. Are you aware of all the different Stampin' Up! products that will create a heart shape in your cardstock or paper? I found at least thirteen - five punches (four in the Annual Catalog and one in the Occasions catalog) and eight dies (seven in the Annual Catalog and one in the Annual Catalog). Wow - That is a lot of heart choices!! These should give you plenty of Valentine options. Two of these heart products, the Sweetheart and the Heart Border punches are on this week's <a href="http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ItemList.aspx?categoryid=1634" target="_blank">Weekly Deals</a> along with Dazzling Diaamonds Glimmer Paper. All are perfect for Valentine projects! I tied my box with pink and gold twine that came in this month's My Paper Pumpkin. When you subscribe to MPP not only do you get fun projects every month but you get fun accessories and other items that can be used on other projects and are not available elsewhere.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Since I already have the Box Board the one item that went to the top of my list was the Chalkboard Banner Kit at 50% off (that's $9.95!!). I had really not noticed that kit until I was checking out all the items on the sale flyer. I don't know how I missed it! I mentioned in an earlier post that sometime in the early part of the new year we are moving to a new cottage and I will have a new project room! I am doing a little planning on how I want to decorate it and I think this Chalkboard Banner spelling out "Cottage Paper" will be perfect!! In addition I have a couple of granddaughters who love chalkboard and teal/turquoise and I think they will be really excited about the pom-poms that come in the kit. I am still trying to decide how many kits I will order! Here is a video showing you all that comes in the Banner Kit.</span></div>

</ul>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Natural 7/8" Cotton Ribbon - I love this ribbon. It has a wonderful feel and is perfect for using on packages any time of year. </span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Washi tape - I love washi tape and there are three different collections on sale. If you don't have any Washi tape you need to get some and if you do have some you need to get some more! :-)</span></li>

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Welcome to the November InKing Royalty Blog Hop. We're excited to share projects that showcase fun gift wrap and packaging ideas for the holidays.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">You may have started the Blog Hop here or may have hopped over from Amy Whelan at <a href="http://amysinklings.com/">Amy's Inklings</a>. After you read my post, I hope you'll hop over to the next. If you get off track at any point during the blog hop, there's a complete list of participants at the end of this post.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">The Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalog is packed with gift wrapping and packaging ideas and I love it all!! There is wrapping paper; tag kits, stamps and punches; gift boxes and bags. If you have not seen it you can view it by clicking on its image on the right hand side of this blog. You really need to check it out! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Even with all the wonderful options I wanted to point out another one. Lots of you are familiar with My Paper Pumpkin but maybe have not looked at it closely. Many of the <a href="http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ItemList.aspx?categoryid=2003">past kits or refills</a> are available to current My Paper Pumpkin subscribers or they can be purchased directly from a demonstrator. One of my favorite kits was the <a href="http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=135505">In the Bag Kit</a> from last spring. At 5.5"X8.5" the bags are not large but they will hold many small items. I used some to hold paperback books that I added to Easter Baskets for my granddaughters. This kit is still available as the original kit or as a refill with all the components except the stamps and ink spot. The kit or the refill includes 5 very cute heavy weight Kraft bags that you can then decorate with all the included components. The refill kit is only $7.95 plus tax and shipping. This comes out to less than $2.00 a bag! I used just the bags from the kit and added images and my own ribbon for a fun holiday gift bag. Here is the bag I created.</span><br />

<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-MjUatUT-yKM/VGwez3zLNwI/AAAAAAAABE0/oEg9EzWA6ro/s1600/BagPost.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-MjUatUT-yKM/VGwez3zLNwI/AAAAAAAABE0/oEg9EzWA6ro/s1600/BagPost.JPG" height="468" width="640" /></a></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">I love the Holiday Homes stamp set but after some thought I decided to order the MDS digital version. That is what I used to create this bag. I also love the First Edition Designer Series Paper which retired several years ago. It looks like newsprint or book pages. In addition to the paper I also bought the MDS version. I wanted to "stamp" the houses on it but after some experimentation I decided the newspaper images needed to be fainter so I lowered the opacity (making it more transparent) and then "stamped" the houses on top of the DSP with Basic Gray digital "ink". If you have the stamps you can stamp with Basic Gray ink on Whisper White or Very Vanilla. I frequently use Basic Gray rather than black because I find black too harsh. I then colored the images with Stampin' Up! markers. I also "stamped" the Santa with Basic Gray on Ivory Naturals cardstock. I created the tree by stacking three trees punched with the Tree Punch from a Trim the Tree DSP to make a taller tree and then attached three of these trees to each other make a 3D tree. I then added Brushed Gold stars. For the ribbon I used one of my favorite ribbons - 7/8" Cotton Ribbon. It has a wonderful look and feel! I had some leftover from a previous project that I had stamped with the Dictionary stamp - more of the newsprint/book look!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">I also made another quick bag using some of the elements that come in the kit and refill. I used the letters to spell "merry" and backed them with a Real Red scallop circle. I attached them to the twine with the clothes pins that are part of the kit or refill. You could even add another circle layer around the Real Red - maybe using some Glimmer Paper! Hmm, wish I had thought of that sooner.</span><br />

As part of this Hop a participant provides information related to his or her creative process by discussing the following four items.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">1. What projects am I currently working on.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">While I am always working on cards I also do various other papercrafting projects. Sometime after the first of the year we hope to move into a new cottage and that means a new bigger and better craftroom! I would like to have a wreath for my craftroom door and to be consistent with the rest of the house I wanted it to have a vintage look. I bought a round 14" styrofoam wreath and covered it with 1 1/4" burlap ribbon. I decided I would put some vintage looking flowers on it and I made a few out of Typeset Designer Series Paper and some out of filter paper. I then sponged the edges of both kinds with Crumb Cake ink. Flowers are very easy to make and I have posted about them in the past. All you need is a punch or die that is basically a circle shape or you can cut them out By hand. It can be a plain circle, a scallop circle, a flower shape or a starburst but uneven edges are the best. You stack layers of your shapes, staple them together and then separate and scrunch the individual layers, and spread them back out. In my experience they all result in fairly similar flowers. The basic difference in the final flower is the size of the "circle" and the number of layers. The larger the "circle" the more layers are needed for the same result. I have not yet decided how many flowers I will use on my wreath but here are the ones I am starting with. I also plan to add some other items. I have various buttons that I think I will consider using and I am still thinking about other additions.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">2. How is my work different from other papercrafters.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Well of course we are all different and have different styles. I like vintage designs like the wreath I am working on but I also like simple & classy and clean & simple though I frequently have to restrain myself. At times I have to resist adding so many details so that I no longer have clean or simple!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">3. Why do I create the projects that I do.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">I like the creative process and while enjoy the final products produced, many times I just enjoy the process and challenge of creating an item. I also like being able to share projects with others either through my blog or through classes.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">4. How my creative process works.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">It works in a number of ways. I sometimes look at papercrafting challenges, especially color challenges, even if I am not officially part of the challenge. At times I have certain supplies that I want to use and I challenge myself to use them in a project. Other times I see a specific technique I want to try. My projects involve lots of trial and error and they will go through many variations before completion. I always think about my projects overnight and sometimes over several nights. I almost always come up with changes. I will be thinking about my wreath for at least the next several days. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">As part of this hop bloggers choose another blogger to "tag" and that blogger will then participate with a blog post the next week. When I was asked to participate I knew immediately whose blog I wanted to share with you! I discovered Kim Jolley's blog when she was introduced to a Facebook group of fellow Stampin' Up! demonstrators and along with her name her city and state were listed. I immediately realized she lived in the city where I was born and raised! That connection prompted me to check out her blog and I was very impressed! I have been watching her ever since. She is clearly not just a crafter but a true artist!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Here is what Kim says about herself.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">I have been dabbling in rubber stamping and mixed media for 15 years and have been a Stampin' Up! customer the entire time. I taught rubber stamping and mixed media classes for several years in Springfield, MO at a local store until the owner retired. I have been published in Somerset Studio, Stampers Sampler and Vamp Stamp News and have had the immense honor of being a guest artist at Red Lead in St. Louis with Mary Jo McGraw and P.J. Dutton. A mixed media piece I created was a top 10 finisher in the 2007 Kirkland's Home search for the Next Great American Artist out of over 1700 entries. (to date, my most exciting art related achievement) I am an insurance agent for my day job and in the past have ran several marathons and half marathons. In my "spare time", I keep busy with my husband of almost 33 years and several wonderful grandchildren. I've been dreaming of being a Stampin' Up! demonstrator for over 10 years and am so happy that I finally took the leap!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Please check out Kim's blog <a href="http://stampinartfully.blogspot.com/">http://stampinartfully.blogspot.com/</a> and see for yourself. </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Then check out her post next Monday to see her discussion of how she works.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This weekend I am in Atlanta with a group of wonderful Stampin' Up! demonstrators attending a World Card Making event organized by my fantastic Upline Brian King. As part of the event there is a card swap. I knew about the swap when the current Holiday Catalog came out and I decided I wanted to use a stamp set from that catalog for my swap. After looking at all the great sets in the catalog I decided that the Four Feathers set and matching Framelits would be perfect for my swap! Here is my card. </span></div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.294118); font-size: 18px; line-height: 24px;">

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I thought the feathers could be used to create an elegant look and I played around with different neutral shades of cardstock and ink colors. I also experimented with using the four feather stamps in different ways but I was having trouble getting the exact look I wanted. Then during the night an idea came to me. (I always have to think about my cards overnight and that is usually when I get some of my best ideas!) The idea was to use the solid feather stamp and put a different texture on it using the kissing technique. In the kissing technique you need a solid stamp and another stamp that has a design that you like. You ink up the stamp that contains the design and then stamp the solid stamp on it as if it was the ink pad. The design is then transferred to the solid stamp which you can then stamp onto your cardstock. After looking at my stamps I decided to try the Dictionary stamp as the design stamp. I really liked the look I got. I wanted to add a touch of gold and settled on using the gold metallic thread that is part of the gold baker's twine and a gold sequin. I thought the Very Vanilla needed a little added texture so I used the splatter stamp from the Gorgeous Grunge set and Versamark ink. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">While these colors clearly say Fall I really wanted to go in a different direction but in the end I could't do it! I was having too much fun making these leaves! I think I am going to make a bunch to use decorating my house this Fall.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">The look of this card is similar to cards made with the Triple Stamping technique, in which three layers are stamped at the same time, but my card only has two layers and the two pieces were stamped separately. Then the smaller piece was trimmed so the woodgrain lined up.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">The leaves were cut out of Crushed Curry using the Autumn Accents die. Veins were added on the back of the leaf with the Simply Scored Stylus. Then they were sponged, first with Crumb Cake, then Always Artichoke, and finally with Cajun Crazy. I then lightly spritzed them with water on both sides and crunched them up and then flattened them back out. The acorn pieces were also cut using the Autumn Accents die. The top of the acorn was cut from Soft Suede which was then debossed (the reverse of embossing - the bumps are on the back!) with the Polka Dots Embossing folder and sponged with Crumb Cake.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">You might notice that there is not a sentiment on the front. It is not always necessary for a cards to have a sentiment on the front. I thought a sentiment would only detract from the rest of the card so I didn't add one!</span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Welcome to the September Pals Blog Hop. This month we are showing off our favorite new products from the new Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalog. We hope you enjoy our projects!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">You may just be starting the blog hop or may have come from Lisa Ann Bernard at <a href="http://www.queenbcreations.net/">Queen B Creations</a></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"> on the Pals Hop. If you get off track at any time, the full lineup below will help you move along from blog to blog so you see all of the amazing creations.</span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">There really are soooo many wonderful products in the new Holiday catalog and I have been playing with many of them. For today's post I decided to pull out the For All Things set which I had not yet had a chance to use. I really like all the images in this set but I also like its versatility. While the images certainly look like Fall and Thanksgiving, they can also be used for all kinds of hellos and thank yous at other times of the year. Here is my card.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">I experimented with several ways to ink the banner - using the Old Olive ink pad or the marker - stamping off once or even twice. The exact formula depends on the look you want and how juicy your pad is. In the end I had a very juicy pad and I stamped off twice. Then I stamped the "Hello Fall" sentiment in Soft Suede on top of the banner. I inked the leaves with Crumb Cake and then "thumped" on them with Calypso Coral and Old Olive markers before stamping them. I added a piece of Soft Suede Baker's Twine I had from my Hey, Man Paper Pumpkin Kit (those kits come in handy in lots of ways!) but Early Espresso would work as well and </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Calypso Coral</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"> might be even better</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">. The wood looking piece below the leaves was created by inking one side of the Woodgrain embossing folder with Versamark ink, inserting the cardstock piece and rolling a brayer across the folder several times. I LOVE that technique! I had planned to add three Calypso Coral Candy Dots sitting on gold sequins along the bottom but after I placed the middle one I decided I loved the look of just one and stopped there! The strips down each side are cut from a piece of Park Lane DSP. I really like the look of the geometric design and thought it went well with the Fall theme. The paper in that collection has a Whisper White background which was a little too bright to use here so I sponged the surface with Crumb Cake ink. I thought it turned out well!</span><br />

Here are the colors for this challenge.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Two of these colors, Hello Honey and Blackberry Bliss, are from the new InColors introduced this year. First I really love Blackberry Bliss. In particular the cardstock has a really wonderful rich look that just can't be conveyed on a computer screen! You really must see it in person to totally appreciate it. The color looks wonderful with Hello Honey! Here is the card I made with the challenge colors.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">I love the Starburst Sayings stamp set, especially when combined with the Starburst Framelits. The pointed edges of the cutout images give the pieces a modern trendiness and the Oh, Happy Day is perfect for so many different occasions. It is such a nice solid image that is great to heat emboss and in this case I wanted to do the embossing in the rich Blackberry color. I also heat embossed the small circles and added a tiny Honey circle made with the Owl Punch. Using the Finishing Touches Edgelit I repeated the edges on the top and bottom of the DSP layer and on the envelope and liner.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Welcome to the very first InKing Royalty Blog Hop. For our very first hop, we're excited to share projects that showcase the fun of the holidays - from Halloween through Christmas, this certainly is the season to be jolly!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">You may have started the Blog Hop here or may have hopped over from Lisa Pretto at <a href="http://www.inkbigacademy.com/diy_royalty/">DIY Royalty</a>. After you read my post, I hope you'll hop over to the next. If you get off track at any point during the blog hop, there's a complete list of participants at the end of this post.</span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">When I first considered the fun of the holidays I thought that the Fall holiday that contained the most pure fun was Halloween and the new Holiday Catalog has lots of fun Halloween products. (Click on the Holiday Catalog image along the right hand side to see all the wonderful goodies! Lots of fun!!) I love the Fall Fest Photopolymer stamp set and the coordinating Fun Fall Framelits! A number of years ago Stampin' Up! had a stamp set with several shapes of pumpkins and separate stamps with Jack-o-lantern faces that could be applied to the pumpkins. Of course the set didn't have Framelits to match but it has been one of my all-time favorite Halloween sets. I felt it was a classic and was sad when it was retired. I was very excited to see the idea return in the Fall Fest set! There are so many fun ways to use it. Even though I was excited about the pumpkins and Jack-o-lantern faces I wanted to do something a little different for today's Hop so I decided to use the ghost. I then thought it would be even more fun to make him out of vellum. Here is my card.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">It seemed to me a vellum ghost needed an evening scene. A tree seemed like a good start but Stampin' Up! does not have a large tree stamp that would work here so I went where I always go when I need a "stamp" I do not have - My Digital Studio! There was a perfect tree in the Spooky Bingo Bits digital set. This set consists of 24 Halloween images that can be arranged in various order on Bingo Cards (available in MDS) and also great Halloween fun. As a result these are small images but one of the glories of MDS is that they can be made any size. After I had the tree the correct size I needed some leaves and found them in the Sweetly Nested Framable Template. They were placed on and around the tree and the whole thing was printed out on Smoky Slate cardstock with Basic Gray color "ink". Both of these digital items are included in the free content that comes with an MDS software purchase. (Here is a list of all <a href="http://su-media.s3.amazonaws.com/media/MDSnet/MDS_Software_Content.pdf">content</a> that comes with the MDS software.)</span></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">After the ghost Framelit was used to cut out the ghost shape from the Smoky Slate layer it was used to cut it out a shape in the same place on the DSP layer and the Tangerine Tango cardbase layer. The Framelits are not designed to cut through more than one layer of cardstock although some people report using them to cut through two layers of cardstock. In this case we have two layers of cardstock plus a DSP layer so I did it in two steps cutting the DSP layer and the Tangerine layer together. All three layers were placed in position and then a vellum ghost that I had previously cut out was placed in the correct position on the Slate layer. While holding him in place I removed the Smoky Slate layer. That left me with the vellum cutout in the correct position on the DSP layer. He was adhered to the DSP layer with repositionable tape (waaaay better than Post-it Notes!) and used to align the Framelit. As the Framelit was placed in position I could "feel" the cutting edge of the Framelit bump against the ghost. This allowed me to know exactly where to place the Framelit. Once in place I taped the Framelit down. With the precision needed for this I decided to skip the Magnetic base and use repositionable tape. I then added a pumpkin stamped with Versamark on Cajun Craze cardstock and cut out with the coordinating Framelit. A Crumb Cake maker was used to darken the stem and Dimensionals gave it some dimension. Not having a greeting I felt was appropriate I printed one in MDS and attached it to a DSP layer. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">I then attached a rectangle of vellum between the Smoky Slate and DSP layers and adhered all this to the Tangerine layer. Eyes were added using my Simply Scored Stylus and the Stampin' Pierce Mat. A 3/4" circle was cut from Whisper White cardstock and sponged with So Saffron to create the moon. Many times I attach a Whisper White or Very Vanilla layer </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">inside my cards</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"> that is useful for writing my message </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">but with a vellum ghost where one can see all the way through the card it is very important that such a piece is used. I frequently add something to this inner layer and here I used gray striped washi tape. Another piece of the gray washi tape will also be used to seal the envelope. In this way it will be easy to open while remaining intact. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">I just received my August Paper Pumpkin and here is what I found in the cute little box! Yay!! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Save 25% on this week's Weekly Deals. Prices are in effect now through August 25. The sleeper in this group are the Finishing Touches Edgelits Die. The scallopy edging really looks great on cards but the zig-zag edging is the one you might miss. It is really fun to use with the Chevron embossing folder, the Starburst Sayings stamp set or the Starburst Framelits. </span><br />
