Blogging Friends October 2019 Blog Hop: Things That Go Bump in the Night

Hello and welcome to my blog, today I am going to share with you my card for this month's Blogging Friends Blog Hop.  We are a group of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from all around the world. We love to get together on our blogs; to bring you fun themed projects with wonderful Stampin' Up! products the first Friday of each month.  This month our theme was Things That Go Bump in the Night.  Here's a look at my card.

There are always a lot of ghouls that go bump in the night this time of the year.  So I thought this sentiment was perfect for this month's theme.  I also thought all the ghoulish titles and images on the book made for the perfect imagery for my card this month.

I started out my card with just a simple Sahara Sand card base (4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2) and then picked this piece of Monster Bash designer series paper.  And matted it to a piece of Rococo Rose cardstock.  The designer series paper is the main focus of my card.  I love all the colors, and the little images on the spin and covers of the books, not to mention the books titles and all when you get close enough to read them.  To add the spookiness of the card I used the matching Spooktacular Bash Bundle to stamp the sentiment in versamark and white embossing powder.  I then cut it out using one of the Ornate Frames Dies, which by the way are perfect for any occasion.

Thanks for dropping by today, I hope that you have fun hopping along with us this month.  If you are viewing this post on my Wordpress site you will need to click here to go to my new blog and scroll down to the blog roll.  It will not show up on the wordpress site.

Have a Spooktacular Halloween!

Hello and welcome to my blog; today I am going to share with you a Spooktacular Halloween Card.  I used products from the Monster Bash Suite in the 2019 Holiday Catalog which goes live on September 4th.  I picked this suite of products to create my card because it's just so darn cute and fun to color.  And, the Spooktacular Bash Bundle comes with the Spooktacular Bash Stamp Set and the Ornate Frames Dies.  These super cute dies can be used for so many more things than just matching this stamp set.  Here's a look at my spooky little card.

Halloween will be here before you know it and little ghouls will be inviting you to all types of Spooktacular Bashes, and you will be ready to create not so spooky projects with these sweet monsters and sweet sentiments in the cute Spooktacular Bash Stamp Set.   When paired with the other products in the suite you will sink your teeth into creating.

You can see with the Monster Bash Designer Series Paper has a fresh spin on classic Halloween images.  I used a piece here to add a little more of a spooky touch.  I used another little strip right above the Basic Black scalloped ribbon.  To add just a little more spookiness to the card I added one of the Monster Bash Enamel Shapes to the sentiment.  I added it with the adhesive on the back plus one of the mini black stampin' dimensionals.  I also added some of the regular size black dimensional under the vampire.  Now you have seen me mention Black Stampin' Dimensionals a couple times now, yes they are a real thing that will be available in the Holiday Catalog.  These little cushions of goodness will be perfect for all your Halloween projects.

Thanks for dropping by today I hope that you have enjoyed my little sneak peek of the new Monster Bash Suite.  I have a little tutorial that I have created for you featuring this card you can click here to download the PDF.

Happy Stampin'
