Happy Haunting Halloween Party Invitations using Stampin' Up! Products
Wednesday, September 30, 2015
The dark nights are settling in now and soon the winter coats & scarfs will be coming out. I love our seasons and whilst I am sad that summer is well and truly over, I am looking forward to Halloween, Bonfire Night and Christmas!
With Halloween just over a month away, I decided to make some Halloween Invitations. I'm not having a party but I wanted an excuse to make some Halloween Cards. Here in the UK we don't give cards at Halloween but I still wanted to make some so I thought I could make the cards invitations instead.
I added a strip of Black Glimmer Paper to the bottom of the card and added You're Invited using the A Dozen Thoughts stamp set and the Word Window Punch.
The designs are so great they really don't need much adding to them. I love the bats, ghosts & spider patterned paper I've used in these cards but there are some other great patterns in the pack of paper such as the gravestones & crows and the Tangerine Tango stripes.
In each pack of Happy Haunting DSP, you get 12 sheets of 12" x 12" paper. The pack includes 2 sheets of each of the 6 double side designs and it only costs £10.00!
You can also buy a pack of coordinating cardstock for £6.50 which contains 24 A4 sheets of cardstock. 8 sheets each of Basic Black, Tangelo Twist, Very Vanilla.
There are so many projects you can make with this DSP. Above are some ideas the creative gurus at Stampin' Up! have featured in the Autumn Winter Catalogue. If you would like a catalogue, please let me know by sending an email to info@handmadebykim.co.uk.
I've had a lovely weekend crafting, I've not had much time over the last few weeks to create so I've loved spending 2 days in my craft room.
It took a little while for my creativity to get going but I am really pleased with all of the different projects I have made and I can't wait to share them with you.
Today's set of 4 cards are made using the Go Wild 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper stack. This pack contains 48 double sided sheets of paper, 4 each of 12 different designs in Basic Black, Tip Top Taupe, & Whisper White.
For all four designs I've used a combination of two different coloured pieces of cardstock for the base and the layer. The colours I have used are Basic Black, Tip Top Taupe & Whisper White.
I chose coordinating sheets of the Go Wild Designer Series Paper to layer on top. I've kept my design super simple to make and have used the Greetings Thinlits to die cut the Hello, Thanks & Cheers from Black Glimmer paper, adding the chosen sentiment to the centre of the card.
I love how unique each card looks with the different layers & DSP, my favourites are the cards with a layer of Basic Black as it just seems to make the whole card more striking.
I placed an order today so next weekend I'll be working on creating even more projects with my new haul of Stampin' Up! products! Make sure you come back to check out my new projects or simply click here to subscribe to be notified of all new projects I share on my website.
Plus we have another Blog Hop coming soon. Did you know it is World Card making Day on Saturday 3rd October....!
I can't believe its the weekend already, the last few weeks have flown by! This weekend I will be in my craft room and I have a busy agenda. I'll be making cards for friends and family, creating cards and 3D projects to showcase here on my website and I will also be trying to come up with a unique and fun swap for a team training event that's coming up in 2 weeks time.
Do you ever struggle making cards for men? I certainly do, almost all of my stamp sets are geared towards females. There are a few male themed sets in the catalogue but I've not got round to ordering them yet. This card was designed with the male species in mind, the colours are quite grungy and there are no flowers or butterflies in sight.
As you know I like to keep my designs quite simple so I've layered designer series paper onto a Basic Gray base. I stamped Happy Birthday onto Very Vanilla cardstock using the Cottage Greetings stamp set and then used the Sprinkles On Top stamp set to stamp a row of candles.
There are some fab bargains in the Clearance Rack at moment, You can check these out by clicking on Clearance Rack in the top menu bar. I am putting an order on this weekend, so if you need anything, let me know. Have a great weekend!
