The Project Life’s “Seasonal Snapshot 2015 Stamp set

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Today I have a fun Halloween card to share with you… A simple black and white card.

I am using the “Boo to You” Framelit Dies again today (pg. 49 / Holiday Catalog) along with the”Black Glimmer Paper” (pg.47 / Holiday Catalog).

The eyes were created by simply punching out two “Extra Large Ovals” out of the Black Glimmer paper. I then faced the glitter sides together and cut a slant across the top… Now your eyes will both slant in.

To create the pupil of the eye, I simply cut a notch out of the eye with a scissors … if your a perfectionist, you can use the corner of a square punch.

I used the new “Fine-Tip Glue Pen” (pg.43 Holiday Catalog) to adhere my “BOO!” greeting to the card front. I hope you had a chance to see my tips for using the glue pen in yesterday’s blog post.

The items in the Holiday Catalog will be available to you soon … Sept. 1st, 2015! If you don’t have a demonstrator or a catalog, I’d be happy to get one to you … just leave a comment below.

Thank you for popping in today ~

I hope yours is a good one!

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Wooo … ran into technical difficulties again! But we got them worked out and I can share the “Wickedly Cute” card that I have made for you today.

For those who know me … you know I love Halloween and all things “Fall”, so I’m going to grab the coolest items out of the new Holiday catalog to show you! I knew the minute I saw the stamp set Project Life’s “Seasonal Snapshot 2015 … and the stamp Wicked” that I had to team it up with the “Boo to You” Framelit Dies! And really … would you use anything else but the “Black Glimmer Paper”?!!

The Project Life’s “Seasonal Snapshot 2015 Stamp set is so fun and versatile … It’s starts you out with “Back to School” and carries you through, well January (snowflakes) and everything in between! And it is bundled with the Card Collection and Accessory Pack … See Page 38 of your Holiday Catalog.

So … what do you think of the “Spider Web Doilies”? They are so much fun and easy to use … and you get 24 of them for only $4.50! I used the new “Fine-Tip Glue Pen” (pg.43) to adhere my spider web doily to the Pumpkin Pie paper.

I have some tips for you for using your “Fine-Tip Glue Pen” …

First, before trying to use your glue pen, remove the cap and pull off the protective cover. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve tried to use my Crystal Effects without pulling the tab off of it before cutting the tip bigger (oh my … we all learn the hard way! LOL)

Secondly, there is a “pin” built into the cover of your glue pen to keep the tip from clogging up! Use your finger to guide the pin back into the glue tip.

I also used the “Fine-Tip Glue Pen” to attach my stars to the hat … can you see where the star’s came from?

To create some fun on the inside of my card too, I used the “Confetti Star’s Border” punch and punched out a bottom border. I then used the stars to add color to my hat on the front.

I created my focal point by punching a 2-1/2″ circle of Elegant Eggplant behind my had. The hat is popped up with dimensionals to create some additional dimension.

Sounds like a lot of steps (not really) but it was super simple and fun to make…

I hope you found my card wickedly cute! I have a lot more Halloween cards up my sleeve and can’t wait to share with you.

Thank you for hanging out with me!

Enjoy your day ~
