October In Color Club

I was so happy when Stampin' Up! announced in late September that the Purple Posy Classic Ink Pads and Refills were available. I had been holding out using Purple Posy for my In Color Club until I was able to provide my customers with all the coordinating products.

So this month's final In Color card features not only Purple Posy but the Spooktacular Bash Bundle. Even if you're not a Halloween person, the Ornate Frames Dies are so beautiful that they can be used for all sorts of cards and projects. I thought the combination of Purple Posy with Basic Black cardstock, along with the sentiments and dies, made this a very "girly" Halloween card!

I heat embossed the sentiment and mummy so they would really pop against the black. I die cut the mummy and popped it up on the scroll frame with the new Black Stampin' Dimensionals. The Purple Posy Scalloped Ribbon is layered onto Black Satin Ribbon with Tear & Tape Adhesive to secure it. I wanted the ribbon to also be set off, as I thought it would just disappear against the cardstock.

Remember all your "ghoul friends" this year by sending this fun card!

I've been getting asked what I'm doing with all my free time, now that I'm not selling Stampin' Up! full time. Well, as an example, this past week I started a 14-week Citizen's Police Academy that informs residents of what the police do on a daily basis, the types of units that are in the force, etc. I'll even get to ride along with an officer and shoot a gun for the very first (and most likely last) time. I also took a trip to New Hampshire to visit the Castle in the Clouds and had lunch while sailing along Lake Winnipesaukee. And the best part of the week was having my granddaughter sleep over for the first time! We had a tea party and made pudding dirt cups! So I'm keeping busy!

Paper Pumpkin - September 2019

Can you believe it? We've gone from surf and sand to skeletons in just a month! Well actually, last month's Paper Pumpkin kit gently nudged us into fall but these cute Halloween treat boxes from the September kit really puts late fall right in front of you! They measure only 2" square so you don't need a lot of candy to fill them.

My crafting mojo has really been struggling lately. It's one of the reasons I've decided to take a break at the end of this year. As a result I only have two alternatives for you this month.

This card base is Mango Melody with the skeletons stamped in Pumpkin Pie Classic Ink. But wait! Where did those reversed skeletons come from? I used my Stamparatus and a Silicone Craft Sheet to create the reverse "x-ray looking" skeletons.

1. Place the Silicone Craft Sheet into a corner of your Stamparatus.
2. Decide where you want to place your cardstock to stamp in Step 5.
3. Line up your stamp on the Stamparatus hinged plate so it will coordinate with the stamping position of your cardstock.
4. Ink up your stamp, stamp it onto the Silicone Craft Sheet. If you want a darker image, do this a couple of times.
5. Carefully place your cardstock face down over the stamped image on the Silicone Craft Sheet and gently but firmly rub. Pick up your stamped cardstock. Voila!

My little skulls were also stamped in Pumpkin Pie but I stamped off first so they'd be lighter.

For this card I needed help from some of our Halloween products in the Holiday Catalog. The card base in Gorgeous Grape cardstock, the background paper is from the Monster Bash Designer Series Paper package. The sentiment was compiled from the Wonderfully Wicked stamp set and the punches used were the Classic Label Punch and the Story Label Punch.

The skeleton is from the Paper Pumpkin kit and he's stamped in black ink onto Crumb Cake cardstock and he, along with the sentiment was sponged in Crumb Cake Classic Ink. I cut him out with my trusty Paper Snips. The skeleton inside the card is stamped with Gorgeous Grape ink from the kit.
