Hello and welcome to today’s cards, which are two alternative ideas for the September 2018 Paper Pumpkin, Frights & Delights! I have to say that this month’s kit has been so much fun! Whether you are a new stamper or have been stamping for years, this kit really makes it easy to get creative with the supplies you have on hand. For these two cards, I really tried to keep them simple and to keep the supplies used to what the kit provided.
To create the card on the right, start with a piece of Basic Black cardstock cut at 5 ½” x 8 ½”, and score at 4 ¼”:
The base layer is Whisper White cardstock, cut at 4” x 5 ¼”. I first used the sentiment from the stamp set in Mango Melody, Granny Apple Green, and Gorgeous Grape ink randomly around the paper. Then use the two spider stamps from the kit and stamp those in Memento ink:
I used the 2” Circle Punch to punch out from the Black Foil Sheet, cut a 1” x 4” piece of the Galvanized Metallic Paper and punch each end with the Banner Triple Punch, stamp both spiders in Stazon ink, and applied the laser-cut adhesive backed sentiment. This is then adhered to the circle foil piece and then adhered to the card base with dimensionals:
For the inside, the sentiment and spiders are stamped in Memento ink and I created a “spider web” using the baker’s twine from the kit and the Fine Tip Glue Pen:
The card on the left is a Z fold card, I first started making the scenery by cutting a piece of Whisper White cardstock, cut at 4” x 10 ¼” and then used a Sponge Brayer with Gray Granite ink for the skyline and Memento for the ground:
I used the moon stamp from the kit in Pineapple Punch ink (stamped several times and was easy to line up), stamped both star stamps in Whisper White Craft ink, then heat embossed with White Emboss Powder, and then used the tree from Sheltering Tree in Memento ink. The cardstock is then cut at 2 ½” and 5 ¼”:
I cut one of the tag toppers to create the headstone, adhered that to the middle panel with Snail, and then adhered two of the pumpkins, a ghost, and a bat with dimensionals. The panels are then adhered to the 4 ¼” x 11” (scored at 2 ¾” and 5 ½”) Basic Black cardstock base and I added the silver foil sentiment to the right-hand corner:
For the sentiment on the backside, I stamped the sentiments in Gray Granite and Pumpkin Pie inks and the moon and stars are stamped in Pineapple Punch ink:
