Paper Craft Crew Sketch Challenge #693: Web of Fun

Good morning,

With the arrival of fall the first thing I think about is Halloween, in fact I got the house all decorated last week.  When I saw this weeks Paper Craft Crew challenge I knew it would be perfect for the gifts I made my son and his roommates this year.  My son is a senior in college and I make and send treats to him and his roommates for every holiday, thankfully the boys are really nice and appreciate it (who doesn't like chocolate??)

For this year I used the new Gable Boxes which hold plenty of sweets and decorated them with the Frightfully Fun Designer Series Paper, as well as elements from the Web of Fun bundle and used the oh so cute Adhesive Backed Bats Ghosts and Dots for fun accents.

While I won't be there when the boys receive these boxes I'm sure they will bring a smile to their faces, which is perfect!  And these were super simple to make.

Paper Craft Crew Sketch Challenge #686: Web of Fun

Good morning,

We are back from a wonderfully relaxing vacation, always the best kind.  Today I'm playing along with this weeks Paper Craft Crew sketch challenge to make my first Halloween card of the season.  I completely fell in love with the Web of Fun bundle when it was released but this was the first time playing with it.

This card starts with Pumpkin Pie cardstock for the cardbase and then I added two different patterns of DSP from the Frightfully Fun Designer Series Paper pack.  Around this layer I wrapped a piece of Basic Black 3/8" Iridescent Ribbon and tied a knot.

The greeting is from the soon to be released Soiree Salutations stamp set, it has greetings for all occasions so it's perfect (it will be released in September!).  I heat embossed using White Embossing Powder and the Heat Tool so it really popped against the grey spiderweb print.

For the three elements on the side, I fussy cut the cat from another piece of DSP, the "Boo" is a die from the bundle as is the cute little spider.  Each of these pieces was attached to the card with dimensionals.

Love how this card turned out, it's cute and a little spooky for sure.  I did also stamp "Happy Halloween" on the inside of the card, also from the Soiree Salutations set.

Make sure to check out the other cards the design team is sharing as inspiration; we would love for you to play along and share what you create using this sketch.

Paper Craft Crew Weekly Challenge #641: Fright Night

Good morning,

It's been awhile but I'm back in the studio and crafting and have lots of share.  Today I'm playing along with this weeks Paper Craft Crew sketch challenge with this fun Halloween card.  I have to admit, the Spooky Sweet Speciality Designer Series Paper is jam packed with goodies that makes crafting super easy, on top of patterned paper there are sheets of die cut pieces, as well as patterns that have tags and predesigned cardfronts, so awesome!

For this card I started with Smoky Slate cardstock for the cardbase and then added a piece of Basic Black cardstock that's embossed with the Forever Plaid 3D Embossing folder.  Next I added three strips of paper (2 of which were patterns printed on the paper) and cut to make flags  I added another piece of coordinating DSP along the top with the cute candy pattern and wrapped a piece of Petunia Pop 1/4" Iridescent Ribbon around the cardfront.

Next I punched out a circle in Basic White cardstock and sponged around the edge with Basic Black ink.  The cute little character is from one of the patterns of DSP and I just fussy cut him out with Paper Snips before attaching with dimensionals.  I added the bat and candy corns (also die cuts in the pack) with dimensionals.  The greeting from the Fright Night stamp set and I stamped directly on one of the pieces of DSP and then fussy cut it out out before attaching with dimensionals.  The final touch was to add a few of the Shimmer Star Foam Stickers as fun accent.

I absolute love how this card turned out and while it looks really fancy there is only one stamped piece and the rest came from the same package of DSP so it's perfect for easy crafting.  Make sure to check out the other cards the design team is sharing and we would love for you to share with us what you create.

Paper Craft Crew Weekly Challenge #631: Fright Night

Good morning!

It may be the middle of summer but I've been itching to use some of the newly released Halloween products so I decided to use them for this weeks Paper Craft Crew Anything but a Card Challenge.  I love to gift treats for Halloween so I thought using the Suitcase Treat Boxes would be perfect.  I also love the new Spooky Suite Speciality Designer Series Paper since it has lots of fun pieces including die cuts and tag elements that are perfect for packaging.  

I cut one piece of the DSP and added it as the base on all 4 sides of the box.  Then I took the Fright Night stamp set and stamped the greetings on the green tag piece.  I added a couple of the candy corn die cuts using dimensionals for a little added dimension.

I used the Fright Night Dies to cut out the little black spider as well as the "Boo" using Silver Foil Paper.  The Shimmer Star Foam Stickers make a fun additional element for a pop of color and I finished the box off with tying some ribbon around the suitcase handle (Petunia Pop 1/4" Iridescent Ribbon and Black & Very Vanilla 3/8" Large Check Ribbon that I colored with my Pumpkin Pie Stampin' Blends Marker).

Love how this came together and can't wait to give it away once we get closer to Halloween.  Make sure to check out the other projects the design team is sharing and we would love for you to play along with us and share what you create.

Paper Craft Crew Weekly Challenge #594: Potions and Spells

Good morning,

It's hard to believe it's almost the end of October and tomorrow is Halloween.  I used the upcoming holiday as inspiration for this weeks Paper Craft Crew challenge, CASE the Catalog with a Twist.  I used the "Celebrate" card on page 28 of the 2024 Holiday catalog as inspiration for today's card using the Potions and Spells bundle.

I started with Pumpkin Pie cardstock for the cardbase and then added a Basic Black cardfront that was embossed with the Dotted Circles 3D Embossing folder.  Next, I added two different pieces of designer series paper from the Halloween Spells DSP pack.

For the main image I started by stamping the cauldron on Basic Grey cardstock using Momento Black ink.  I then stamped the "double, double, toil & trouble" in Versamark ink and then embossed it with the Heat Tool and Black Embossing Powder before cutting it out with the coordinating dies. 

I used the same dies to cut out the "ooze" using the Highland Heather Glimmer Paper from the Three Color Glimmer Pack.  Then I stamped the bubbles for the top of the cauldron on Basic White cardstock, colored it in with Stampin' Blends before fussy cutting and tucked it inside the cauldron. 

The final touch was to add the Happy Halloween greeting that was stamped in Pumpkin Pie ink on Basic White cardstock.

This card is so fun, I love it to send Halloween greetings.  Make sure to check out the other cards the design team is sharing for inspiration and we would love for you to play along and share what you create.

Here's a picture of the inspiration card from page 28 of the Holiday Catalog.
