I know it's only September, but if you are a crafter, you probably got started on your Halloween projects last month! I thought this was a cute Halloween card from the current SU catalog, and then I incorporated it into a fun gift bag!
Supplies you will need for this project:
House of Haunts Stamp Set (#111574"
Black Card Stock (# 102851 ) 6 1/4" x 6 1/2" (scored at 3 1/4" along the 6 1/2" side)
Crushed Curry Card Stock (#115319) 3 1/4" x 3 1/2"
Whisper White Card Stock (#100730) 3 1/4" x 1"
Rich Razzleberry Card Stock (#115316) 3 1/4" x 1" and 3 1/4" x 1/8"
Old Olive Card Stock (#100702) 3 1/4" x 1"
Black Embossing Powder (#109133)
VersaMark Pad (#102283)
Crushed Curry Classic Stamp Pad (#115659)
Heat Tool (#100005)
Embossing Buddy (#103083)
Designer Buttons Button Latte (#114333)
Mini Glue Dots (#103683)
To begin your project, take your 3 1/4" x 3 1/2"Crushed Curry Card stock and using your Crushed Curry Classic Stamp Pad, stamp two of the tree images---line up with the top of your card top so that you have space on the bottom.
The next step you will take your Embossing Buddy and cover the whole area of cardstock (this will prevent your embossing powder from stick to your previously stamped images.) Then using your VersaMark ink and your Haunted house stamp, you will stamp an image over the trees. (again lining up at the top of your cardstock)
Now you will proceed to emboss your VersaMarked image using your SU Black embossing Powder and your Heat Gun tool
Go ahead and emboss your 'Happy Halloween' on your 3/14"x 1" Whisper White card stock---line up on the right side.
Next take your Rich Razzleberry Card stock and your Old Olive Card stock and one edge on each piece.
Take your adhesive and attach the Rich Razzleberry card stock to the Whisper White card stock and have just a small portion of the ripped section 'peek out'. Do the same with the Old Olive card stock, just attach it to the bottom of your Crushed Curry card stock. Take your small strip of Rich Razzleberry card stock (3 1/4" x 1/8") and attach it just below the Haunted House image.
Attach your button using SU Mini Glue Dots (my most favorite SU product!)
Viola! A cute and fun and VERY EASY card for Halloween! I always tell my customers that when they are making a card, cut enough card stock to make 4. You have all the supplies out and then you don't have to scramble when you need to send a card.
I loved this design so much, that I decided to use it and modify it for a gift bag. I am using a craft colored bag which I buy in bulk on the internet. SU sells some very high quality white gift bags if you would prefer.
I used my SU crimper to give the bag some dimension---love that crimper!
New stampers always say to me---I would love to stamp, but I don't have any supplies and I don't know how to get started. I always tell them---find a project you love, buy the supplies you only need for that project and then build from there. That way you feel a sense of accomplishment and you are using the supplies you have purchased.
If you are interested in purchasing any of the supplies used in this project, visit my website and you can purchase 24 hours a day---7 days a week www.nancyhendel.stampinup.net or you can e-mail me at rubberforme@gmail.com
Happy Stampin'
