Good Morning Fellow Stampers -
How is everyone this fine day?! Yesterday was the first day of Fall. My honey and I had lunch on the patio yesterday and although it was an absolutely beautiful day, I definitely felt and smelled Autumn in the air!! I am looking forward to cooler evenings, lit candles, apple cider bubbling on the stove, and curling up with my Sadie Ann!
Today is Pals Paper Arts [PPA269] challenge time. I thought today's sketch was rather unusual. And then I had an epiphany. Let's see if you think my design works with the sketch idea😉
Doggone Delightful Stampin' Design Tips:
- Layerothology. This card is cut from Very Vanilla cardstock, 4 1/4" x 11", scored at 5 1/2" -- a portrait card as I call it. The background layers of this card are created with a Tangelo Twist mat (4 1/8" x 5 3/8"), and a fun piece of Happy Haunting DSP (3 7/8" x 5 1/4"). Over this I laid a Spider Web Doily that was adhered with the Fine Tip Glue Pen. I LOVE this new adhesive tool.
- Trick or Treat. That fabulous stamp set that is used with the Witching Decor kit -- well it's pretty fabulous for other things too!! Here I used one of the focal images from the stamp set, cut it out with the Lots of Labels framelits dies, and popped it with dimensionals. A little bit of Tangelo Twist ink drawn in gives the sentiment a pop! Don't forget a few little pearls to add some elegance!
- Along Came a Spider. Have you checked out the new Howl-o-ween Treat stamp set yet, and coordinating Boo to You framelits? Beyond cute!! This little spider friend drops from his spider web (from the Witches' Night stamp set too), on a thin Silver Metallic Thread. The spider web was cut out with a circle framelit, and then I fussy cut around the outside edge for more dimension. Both the web and spider are popped with dimensionals which also hold the thin Silver Metallic Thread in place from top to bottom. For an added touch, I used Crystal Effects on the spider web to make it glisten.
What do you think? Pretty cute? 😊 I'd love to read your thoughts. I love your comments and do read every one!! There are so many fun, cute things to try out in this year's Holiday Occasion catalog. I hope we won't run out of time to do it all!! LOL
Wishing you all a fabulous Thursday, and time in your craft rooms. Just a note to everyone -- the Witching Decor kit is now officially sold out and will no longer be available (consider it "retired"). The stamp set, however, is still available and I do think it's a lovely set with a nice vintage feel to it.
Until Next Time . . .
