On scrap Basic White card, I stamped the 2 larger pumpkins, one in Pool Party and the other in Crushed Curry ink. The gourd was stamped in Pumpkin Pie ink. I didn’t get the punch so I fussy cut all the images out.

Beautiful Halloween – Stamper’s Showcase Blog Hop

Posted on by

Hello and welcome to the Stamper’s Showcase blog hop. My name is Mo Rootes and I live outside Cambridge in the UK. Our theme this month is Fall/Autumn/Halloween – such a great choice. I have opted to make a beautiful Halloween card using the Life is Beautiful stamp set.

To recreate the Beautiful Halloween card you will need;

Basic Black card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – Rounded Upper Left corner
Mango Melody – 5½ ” by 2¾” – Rounded Upper Left corner
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 2⅝” – Rounded Upper Left corner
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Scrap strips of Mango Melody, Daffodil Delight & Rich Razzelberry

Using the Stamparatus I stamped the tree image from the Life is Beautiful in Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I actually stamped it 3 times to get a good dark image.

I used a blending brush – you could use sponges – to apply ink to the smaller Whisper White panel. I started with Daffodil Delight at the bottom, moved on to Mango Melody then Rich Razzelberry. I finished by adding Misty Moonlight across the top and around the edges to darken in up.

The shrubs from the Nature’s Beauty stamp set were added in Memento Tuxedo Black as was the ground from the Life is Beautiful Stamp set. I didn’t have any bats the right size so added the birds from the Sailing Home stamp set in the same ink

The stamped panel was glued to the Mango Melody with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

Using my lovely Stampin Cut & Emboss Machine I embossed the Basic Black card front using the Old World Paper Embossing Folder. I love this folder……..

I added a flag of Daffodil Delight and Rich Razzelberry  to the back of the stamped panel before adding the layer to the card front. The sentiment from the Itty Bitty Greetings stamp set was stamped  in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto a strip of Mango Melody  card and added to the card front. To finish I added a trio of Holiday Rhinestones.

Hopping Around the World Blog Hop Halloween card using Life is Beautiful stamp set

Halloween – Hopping Around the World Blog Hop

Posted on by

Hello and welcome to the Hopping Around the World Blog Hop where our theme is Halloween. If you have hopped over from Rachel Macleod,  welcome.  In the UK Halloween isn’t really a big deal, certainly not on the card front so I enjoyed the challenge of coming up with a suitable card.

To recreate the Halloween Card you will need:

Basic Black card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Whisper White – 5¾” by 4”
In Good Taste dsp – 5½” by 3¾”
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – for the inside
Scrap Basic Black, Gorgeous Grape, Pumpkin Pie, Shaded Spruce and Whisper White

Using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive I glued the ‘In Good Taste’ dsp to the larger Whisper White panel and then to the Basic Black card front.

I used my new Stampin Cut & Emboss Machine and the Wreath Dies to die cut three wreaths – 2 shrubby wreaths one in Gorgeous Grape and the other in Pumpkin Pie and one leafy wreath from Basic Black card. I used the liquid glue to adhere the 3 wreaths together.

I die cut the flowers from scrap Pumpkin Pie and Gorgeous Grape card and the sprigs from Shaded Spruce card and added them to the wreath using Mini Glue Dots.
