Good morning, y’all! It’s Thursday – which means it’s time for another Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop!! We’ve got a sketch challenge to work with – AND a new hopper – help me welcome Tara Carpenter to the hop line-up! – and I’m excited to see what everyone brings to the table! I just know you’re going to see a ton of awesome-ness on the hop today!
I figured being that it’s practically October and I think I’ve done like…one?…two??…Halloween cards, that maybe I ought to bring another one to the table. So…out came the Cute Halloween 6″ x 6″ DSP and the Frightfully Cute Bundle. Take a look-see:
And…here’s our sketch challenge!
I also played along with the Tic-Tac-Toe challenge! I went from top left to bottom right. My “free” space is…”arachnids”! 😂😂😂
I started with two designs from the Cute Halloween 6″ x 6″ DSP that I matted on Highland Heather – the larger is the card front.
I used a couple of Glue Dots to wrap a length of Black & White 1/4″ Gingham Ribbon around the smaller panel, then I adhered it to the card front with Liquid Glue.
Using the fun Frightful Tags die set – I cut a Black Glitter Paper spider web and adhered it with some Black Stampin Dimensionals (just on the bottom half of the web so they’re hidden).
I tied a little bow from the Black & White 1/4″ Gingham Ribbon and adhered it with a Glue Dot.
On a piece of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the Frightfully Cute spider on his web three times in Tuxedo Black. Then I cut it out with one of the label dies in the Frightful Tags set. I popped the label over the ribbon and spider web with double-stacked Black Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I stamped the Frightfully Cute sentiment in Highland Heather on Basic White and cut it with a second label die in Frightful Tags. Then I adhered it to the label with Liquid Glue.
I cut out a Highland Heather witch’s hat using the Frightful Tags die and popped it onto the label with Black Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I added some Pumpkin Pie stars from the Cute Stars Adhesive-backed Sequins here and there and that finished off the card front.
So…as I was designing this card, I thought I wanted some… more…on the front, so I fussy cut a jack o’lantern, cat and bat from a piece of Cute Halloween 6″ x 6″ DSP. Obviously, I changed my mind, but…I’d FUSSY CUT THREE THINGS! So….I adhered them to the bottom of a Basic White Panel and then added a Cute Halloween sentiment in Highland Heather and some more Cute Stars Adhesive-backed Sequins.
I used Stampin’ Seal to adhere the panel to a Highland Heather mat and into my Pumpkin Pie card base, popped the card front on with Black Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done!
My Basic White Medium Envelope got a Highland Heather witch from Frightfully Cute on the front…
…and more of the Cute Halloween 6″ x 6″ DSP on the envelope flap.
Et Voila! Halloween isn’t my fave of the holidays, but…the little die cuts in the Frightful Tags die set – with the matching Frightfully Cute stamp set – are just too much fun to NOT play with! Thanks to the SU designers, I learned a few great color combinations from the Cute Halloween 6″ x 6″ DSP. And – a spider web in Black Glitter Paper is way pretty!
I hope you like!
