Today’s card features Stampin’ Up! Cute Halloween 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper and this paper is just as the name implies, CUTE! I also used the Frightfully Cute Bundle which includes the Frightfully Cute Stamp Set and the Frightful Tags Dies.
I started with a base of Basic Black cardstock and then added a layer of Basic White cardstock that I ran through the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder (you can find all the measurements I used below the Supply List). Next I made a banner using the Cute Halloween Designer Series Paper and adhered it to the card front (to make a banner, at the bottom of your paper, in the middle, make a small cut up the center; then cut from each corner to the middle).
Then I layered a piece of the Cute Halloween Designer Series Paper onto a piece of Basic Black cardstock. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back before adhering it to the front of the card. The sentiment was stamped in Memento ink using the stamp set, Frightfully Cute onto a piece of Basic White cardstock that was cut out using the Frightful Tags Dies. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the upper half of the sentiment. I had planned to place the sentiment a bit higher on the Designer Series Paper but I didn’t want to cover up any of the cute bats so I placed it where you could still see the upside down bat.
To complete the card, I added two Matte Black Dots on either side of the sentiment.

I think at one time or another we’ve all been stuck and don’t know what to create. The best place to look is the Stampin’ Up! catalog as it’s filled with so many ideas! The inspiration for today’s card came directly from the catalog (page 25 in the Annual Catalog)!
I started with a base of Fresh Freesia cardstock and then added a layer of Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper. Next, I added a layer of Vellum cardstock but before adding it to the card, I placed it inside one of the Meadow Moments Embossing Folders and ran it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. To adhere it to the front of the card, I placed Mini Glue Dots in the middle where I knew they would be covered up.
I used the Painted Labels Dies to cut the shape I used in the center of the card out of Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
The sentiment piece was cut out of Basic White cardstock using the Tasteful Labels Dies. I used the stamp set Measure of Love to stamp the sentiment in Evening Evergreen ink. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and placed it on the Painted Labels shape.

Today’s card is another version of the one I shared on Monday and it features the Stampin’ Up! Gorgeous Leaves stamp set and our Blending Brushes.
I started with a piece of Coastal Cabana cardstock for the base of my card and then added a layer of Basic White cardstock that I embossed using the Timber 3D Embossing Folder.
Then, using Basic White cardstock and our Blending Brushes, I covered my paper with Just Jade ink. When I had the shade I wanted, I blended Pool Party ink and then a small amount of Pacific Point ink. As I mentioned in Monday’s post, after getting ink on my Blending Brush, I start by moving the brush in a circular motion on my grid paper and then without lifting the brush, continue on to my Basic White cardstock. This will help to prevent blotches of color.
I cut the paper down to 4-3/4″ x 2″ and then using Memento Ink, stamped leaves using the Gorgeous Leaves stamp set. Then I adhered it to a piece of Coastal Cabana cardstock, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
I used the stamp set Pansy Patch to stamp the sentiment in Memento Ink onto a piece of Basic White cardstock. This is a photopolymer stamp set and I CUT the stamp in half so it would fit on my circle. Now my stamp is more versatile and it was easy to cut with our Paper Snips. I cut the sentiment out using our Tasteful Labels Dies. I used the Layering Circles Dies to cut a larger circle out of Coastal Cabana and then layered the two pieces together. On the back, I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the right side only and then adhered it to the card front. To complete the card, I added three Holiday Rhinestones.
