Good morning, y’all! It’s Thursday – which means it’s time for another Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! We’ve got a very seasonal color challenge to work with 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!
As I built this post, I realized I’d used almost exactly the same products on my LAST week blog hop card! Oh, well – I had a request for another Halloween card and…since the colors were perfect AND Halloween is like …right around the corner (🤔), I figured…better get it done! So…out came the Scary Cute bundle and the Aspen Tree Dies. This time, though, I played with the fun Black & White Designs DSP. Take a look-see:
Good morning, y’all! It’s Thursday – which means it’s time for another Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! We’ve got a wide-open sketch challenge to work with 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 decided to swing to Halloween again for this one (don’t worry – STILL not a scary card, read on!) and pulled out the fun Scary Cute stamp set and bundled Scary Silhouettes Dies. And…I also used the Aspen Tree die. Take a look-see!
And here’s our sketch!
…and I got the idea to make a stencil from the Aspen Treedie thanks to the challenge from Just Us Girls.
I started with a black-and-Pumpkin Pie piece of plaid paper from the Gingham Cottage DSP that I adhered to the front of a Basic Black card base with Liquid Glue.
From a piece of Basic White cardstock – the color doesn’t matter, this is a stencil! – I cut the large Aspen Tree Die.
I secured a piece of Basic White cardstock to my work surface with a little repositionable tape runner, then used Blending Brushes to create some sky – with Crushed Curry near the bottom and Gorgeous Grape in the top potion.
I adhered the finished panel to a piece of Pumpkin Pie cardstock, then adhered the whole thing to the card front with Liquid Glue.
From the middle of a piece of Celebrate Everything DSP (remember that this is a Host selection from the Jul-Dec 2022 Mini Catalog!), I used the outer window die from Scary Silhouettes to cut the hole.
Then I adhered it over the top of the stenciled panel with Liquid Glue.
I used the same Scary Silhouette die – plus the detailed die that nests inside it, to cut a Gorgeous Grape decorated window frame. Using Liquid Glue, I adhered it inside the opening on the card front.
I used five of the bat dies and the house silhouette die from Scary Silhouettes to cut out the shapes. Using Liquid Glue, I adhered the house and the three smallest bats. I used Black Stampin’ Dimensional pieces to adhere the two large bats to the frame.
I stamped the Scary Cute sentiment in Versamark Ink on a piece of Gorgeous Grape cardstock and sprinkled it with white Embossing Powder. Then I heat embossed it with my Heat Tool.
When the embossing powder was cool, I used Paper Snips to cut each word. Then I adhered them to the card front with Black Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I added a few Gorgeous Grape Glossy Dots and the card front was done.
On the inside, I stamped a second Scary Cute sentiment in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. I added some bats from the set in Gorgeous Grape.
I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Pumpkin Pie mat and into the inside of the Basic Black card base and the card was done.
My Basic White Medium Envelope got the Gorgeous Grape bats from Scary Cute on the front…
…and more of the Celebrate Everything DSP on the envelope flap.
Et Voila! How cute…dare I say….SCARY CUTE!??!…is this bundle? I love that fun cut out from the bundled Scary Silhouette dies, don’t you!? And the Aspen Tree die made for a very cool stencil – I slid it inside the pocket with the die set so I can use it again in the future! I also don’t want you to miss getting a pack of the Celebrate Everything DSP – it really covers nearly every occasion for which you might need a card!

Good morning, y’all – welcome to another edition of the Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team blog hop! Each month we make projects centered around a theme – and this month our theme is “Fall Frenzy”! We can interpret that any way we want – so…be sure to check and see everyone’s projects – we’ve got a bunch of talented ladies hopping with us this month!
I am a big fan of leaves for Autumn/Fall cards and some bare trees – like…Aspens! – just adds to my fan-hood! So…I pulled out the Perched in a Tree bundle with its Aspen Tree die set. Then I colored some Rustic Harvest DSP with my Blending Brushes, and cut a few gold glimmer wheat tops with the Wheat Dies. Take a look-see:
Good morning – again! I’ve got a second card for you today, cuz…I was really honored to be selected as a Guest Designer over on one of my fave challenges – the Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge! So…if you were here looking for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop and the card I shared for IT – here ’tis! 🙂
The elements of the challenge worked well for a sympathy card I had in my head, so…I pulled out the Mountain Air stamp set from the 2022-2023 Annual Catalog and then used the cool Aspen Tree Dies, with a Very Best Occasionssentiment, to complete the card. Take a look-see:
