It's a Halloween Stampers Showcase Blog Hop!

Good morning friends!! I hope you're ready for a FUN Stampers Showcase Blog Hop! 

Are you team "Fall Y'all" or team "Spooktacular Halloween"??  The Stampers Showcase Designers have created a project with one of those themes to share with you today.  Since I just wrapped up the 13 Days of Halloween Treats, I'm still kinda coming down from a Halloween High. lol. So, I figured I'd just roll with it.

I really like how the project turned out and LOVE the fun techniques used to create it!

I'm in LOVE with the little collage cluster embellishments and the Cute Halloween 6x6" Designer Series Paper really lends a hand in how pretty it looks!

Here are the measurements for your paper goods: 
* 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" THICK Basic White Card Base (scored at 4 1/4")
* 4" x 5 1/4" Basic Black Cardstock (die cut with largest Scalloped Contours Die)
* 3 1/4" x 4 1/2" Basic White Cardstock (die cut with 3rd Largest Stitched Rectangles Die)
* Scrap of Black Glitter Paper (to die cut Spider Web. Can use regular Basic Black.)
* 3" x 3/4" Houses DSP Strip
* 2 7/8" x 3/4" Boo DSP Strip
* 2 5/8" x 5/8" Polka Dots DSP Strip

You'll also want approx. 8" of the Black & White Twine from the Playful Pets Trim Combo Pack. 

To get the fun inky checkered background, I applied Pumpkin Pie Ink directly to my Checked Embossing Folder. Did you know you could do that? OH!!! The world of possibilities it opens up!! YEAH!!! I inked a bit on the heavy side because I wanted the grungy streaks in between the squares. I didn't want it to clean and even. It worked out well because it looks fantastic!  Once you've applied the ink to the folder, just lay your cardstock down and run through the machine as always. When you pull it out of the folder, you'll see the amazing creation left behind! Just remember to clean the ink off your folder before you put it away! :-D 

I layered the Black scalloped frame and the checkered rectangle directly to the card base.  

The strips of DSP were all cut and one end dovetailed. They were assembled together and then adhered directly to the card.  I used a large black Stampin' Dimensional to attach the Spider Web to the card. 

For the sentiment, I used another favorite technique.  Did you know that you can emboss in ANY of Stampin' Up's colors?  It's true! Simply ink your sentiment/image in Versamark ink first, then the color, then stamp on the paper. Next, use CLEAR Emboss powder over the sentiment/image and then heat it up.  That's it! easy peezy and lots of fun!  Just remember, it's Versamark THEN Color! I love the shine of the embossed black ink, especially on this Halloween themed card! 

All there is left, is to attach the bow with a glue dot and then add a few Matte Black Dots! You have yourself a super cute, super sweet, spooktacular card to give to someone special!

I hope you enjoyed my fun Halloween card.  And, I hope you'll try out the techniques we used today! Explore and Discover the possibilities with your products. You may find some fun new thing.
