Stampin’ Gals Gone Wild Wednesday- Hello Bling!

Posted on October 8, 2014October 8, 2014 by Josee

Happy Wednesday friends! I hope you've had a fabulous week so far. I have the "BLING-Y-EST" card to show today. Is that a word?! If not, I think it should be! 🙂

Hello Bling 2 I find that the older I get, the more bling I like, not really sure why that is…I guess it just makes me HAPPY!

This idea came from a beautiful store-bought card I received from a good friend and I could really picture it as a Stampin' Up! card!

Let's get going with the video….

Ghosts in the Graveyard!

Posted on October 3, 2014October 2, 2014 by Josee

Good Morning!

Boy that title brings back memories…did you ever play that game when you were a kid? I have fun memories of running around in the dark on a warm summer night with cousins and neighbours playing 'Ghosts in the Graveyard' 🙂 I didn't like being 'it' though 🙂 Who does?!

Today's card is just that….a ghost in a graveyard, well a pumpkin graveyard. Love it! The ghost really looks ethereal!

It really is a cute card with a little surprise!

You can download the instruction sheet here: Ghost in Graveyard Surprise Card

Measurements:

• Tangelo Twist card – 5.5” x 8.5”

• Blackberry Bliss layer – 4” x 5.25”

• Smoky Slate – 3.5” x 4.75” and 2” x 5.5” and scraps for layered pumpkins & leaf

Instructions:

1. Stamp two pumpkins and a leaf on scrap of Smoky Slate card stock and cut out with Fun Fall framelits/Big Shot. Stamp two pumpkins on and olive leaves along bottom and outside edge of Smoky Slate card layer. Stamp ghost in white craft ink on left side of Smoky Slate card layer. Stamp “Boo to You” with Blackberry Bliss ink in top right corner.

2. Stamp pumpkins in a “stack” on Smoky Slate strip, starting at the bottom and leaving off the stems of first two pumpkins. Stamp faces onto each pumpkin using Blackberry Bliss.

3. Punch top of Smoky Slate strip (pumpkin stack) with Tag Topper punch. Add Tangelo Twist ribbon. Fold strip backwards just under top pumpkin. Bring the folded edge to the bottom of the strip (covering the bottom pumpkin and press down for the second fold (accordian style). Sponge the top of the strip with Smoky Slate to look like gravestone.

4. Adhere the bottom back of the strip to the front of the card. Adhere the two cut-out pumpkins to the front of the card using Stampin’ Dimensionals, allowing the edges of the pumpkins to overlap the “gravestone”). You should be able to pull the ribbon to allow the pumpkin stack to expand. Adhere all layers to card.
