Halloween 3

And this week it is a Halloween post.

It's not far away now, and I will be at Ockwell's Park on the 29th October with lots of Halloween goodies for you (and a few Christmas ones)!.

This week I wanted to highlight the scrumptious Spooky Night Designer Series paper.  As you would imagine for a Halloween themed paper, it is heavy on the Orange and Black (Basic Black and Pumpkin Pie).  It has wicked cats, potions and hats, but also has plain decorative papers on the reverse, which I feel are very 70's in look (which I love).

Here are a few ideas as to how I have used the cardstock.

For a quick and easy Halloween gift, cover some blank wooden coasters in the paper and seal.  It takes minutes to do and look so effective.

For a quick goodie bag for the kids (or older 'kids'), stuff a bag with goodies and then wrap the top with the DSP.  I have used staples to secure it and then covered with washi tape to keep it safe and added a greeting with the reverse side of the DSP>

With this card I have also used the Christmas in the Making stamp set as well as the Spooky Nights DSP, this shows how versatile the items in the Autumn/Winter catalogue can be.

Keep an eye out for my Newsletter this weekend with details of an amazing launch and the workshops for next month.

Halloween 2... (Sort of)

This week I wanted to take a look at the Painted Harvest stamp set, which I am sure you have seen all over Pinterest – and rightly so.  This has become a very popular and versatile set.  It comes with a punch for the leaves, - I didn’t get the punch but I had a chance to play with it at training last week.

When you join Stampin’ Up, you are not only getting a great discount on fabulous products but you join a family of soon-to-be great friends.  We meet up regularly to share progress, news and to stamp, and one of the projects we completed was this Acetate box with three cards, all using the Painted Harvest Set and Punch.

These are cards we made this week at the Workshop, they were great fun to do.

Here are a couple more samples, using the flower in a slightly different way.  It can make a great wreath – here I have used it greys for a cool look.

Oh... by the way this is the class we will be doing on Saturday 21st October, booking closes this Friday!

Well, I did say I would be highlighting Halloween this month, so here is a quick spooky pizza box.  The ribbon is coloured in using the new Stampin’ Blends, alcohol markers.  These are only available to Demonstrators at the moment, so to get your hands on them, you have until the 15^th October to sign up and put them into you Starter Kit.  Currently, we do not know when they will be released to customers.
