Stampin Up Cookie Cutter Halloween, A Happy Hello, Scarecrow card

Cookie Cutter Halloween Scarecrow Card

Posted on September 28, 2016September 26, 2016 by Josee

Hello!

I just LOVE this little scarecrow stamp from the Cookie Cutter Halloween stamp set! He really is so cute and so fun to color with aqua painters and ink! I really like how this card came together and is just a perfect FALL card and by just changing the sentiment using any of the other sentiment stamps in the Tin of Cards stamp set this could be a Birthday card for someone having a birthday soon or a thank you card for your Thanksgiving hostess 🙂

How To Make It:

This card starts with a card base of Very Vanilla cardstock and then a layer of Rich Razzleberry cardstock. Then, using the Big Shot and the Pretty Paisleys Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, emboss the top layer of Very Vanilla cardstock.

Stamp “A Happy Hello” from the Tin of Cards stamp set with Rich Razzleberry ink on the Very Vanilla embossed layer.

Use Mint Macaron ink and the splatter stamp from Timeless Textures (stamped off on a scrap piece of paper first) to add some splatters to the cardfront.

Stamp the scarecrow from the Cookie Cutter Halloween stamp set onto a scrap of Very Vanilla cardstock, and use Aqua Painters and ink to add color to the scarecrow. Punch out the scarecrow with the Cookie Cutter Builder punch.

Use a small bit of Linen Thread and twirl to create a circle – allow the ends to be loose. Layer the Burlap ribbon, Petals and Paisley Designer Series Papers and the linen thread circle onto left side of embossed image and attach to the layer using the Handheld Stapler. Use Stampin' Dimensionals to attach the scarecrow punch out on top of the stapled embellishments.

Use two pieces of linen thread to create a bow for the scarecrow’s neck. Attach with a Glue Dot.

Adhere the Very Vanilla cardstock onto the cardbase.

Posted on September 27, 2016September 26, 2016 by Josee

Good Morning!

Now that Fall is officially here, it's time to dig out the sweaters and light gloves for these cold mornings AND time to start thinking about what you're going to wear for Halloween and what you are going to dish out at the door!

These little Glassine treat bags are super simple to make with a few supplies! Use the Halloween Treat stamp and Halloween Night Specialty Designer Series Paper for a cute Halloween themed bag, or change up the sentiment and Designer Series Papers for a Thanksgiving party favor!

How To Make It:

Stamp “Happy Halloween” from the Halloween Treat stamp set in Basic Black on Whisper White Cardstock. Color with Smoky Slate and Pumpkin Pie Stampin' Write markers and cut out with Paper Snips.

Cut strips of Pop of Pink Designer Series Paper and Pumpkin Pie Glimmer Paper and use Paper Snips or Banner Triple Punch to trim the ends into banner tips as shown.

Put Basic Black paper into Glassine Bag (and add whatever treats you want to the bag) and fold the top of the bag over.

Wrap Halloween Night Designer Series Paper around the bag and tie the Silver Ribbon.

Assemble the banner strips using SNAIL Adhesive and use Stampin’ Dimensionals on the back of the “Happy Halloween” square.
