Haunted House Kit

This is a Halloween Haunted House Kit #164376 for $18 in the US, that I bought when it first came out.  However, I didn't put it together until this weekend when I went to visit my grandchildren in Tennessee.  I didn't take my hot glue gun with me, so I borrowed by daughter's.  It is not easy kit for kids, but my granddaughter helped glue on the window lights, shutters, door, ghost, pumpkins, etc.  I left it there for them so they can enjoy it for Halloween.  I don't get any kids at my house on Halloween, so I go to my sons to help hand out candy. The kit was so popular that it sold out, but it will be available in November so that it can be carried over until next Halloween.

Scenic Pumpkin Patch with Paper Pumpkin - Autumn Abundance

 



I saw this card posted Online from The Pink Stamper and I liked it so well, I ordered the stamp set.  She used "I'm Thankful" on her card, but I used my new Paper Pumpkin Kit - Autumn Abundance for the sentiment.  It uses the Nested Essential Dies with the flap coming over the front of the card, but I used a little too much glue, so be careful and add just a little and not a lot like me.  The stamp set Scenic Pumpkin Patch is an Online Exclusive set and can't be found in any of the Stampin' Up! catalogs, but Online only.

Cardstock:  Pecan Pie, Basic White, 12” x 12” Oxidized Copper Specialty DSP, 6” x 6” Iconic Celebrations DSP

Winterly Tree Tops - Thank you

 

  

This is a card that I created for an August Swap.  I love the colors I used, and I stamped the bird inside and colored him the same as the front.  This would make a great Christmas card to a friend.  This is a beautiful set in the September -December Mini Catalog on page 30-31 and can be purchased as a Suite #164072 called Nests of Winter, but it is currently unavailable until September 30, so be sure to put it on your wish list.  You can certainly buy it as a bundle #164066 at that time too.

Stamp Set:  Winterly Tree Tops

Cardstock:  Cherry Cobbler and Basic White

Ink:  Tuxedo Black Momento, Mossy Meadow, Cherry Cobbler

Stampin’ Blends:  Cherry Cobbler, Smoky Slate, Pecan Pie and Peach Pie

Other:  Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine, Winterly Tree Top Dies, Modern Label Punch, Blending Brush, Multipurpose Liquid Glue, Stampin’ Dimensionals

 

1.     The base of the card is Cherry Cobbler cardstock cut at 5-1/2” x 8-1/2” and scored at 4-1/4” in the middle.

2.    The second layer is Basic White cardstock cut at 4” x 5-1/4”.  Die-cut the frame out from another Basic White cardstock and use the inside to place on the Basic White cardstock.  Then use the Blending Brush with Mossy Meadow ink to create the branches.  Adhere to the front of the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

3.    Use Tuxedo Black Memento on a scrap of Basic White cardstock and color the birds and branches with the Stampin’ Blends.  Die-cut it out and use Stampin’ Dimensionals on the back to adhere to front of the card.

4.    Ink up the sentiment “Sending Thanks & Much Love” with Cherry Cobbler ink on Basic White cardstock.  Punch it out with the Modern Label Punch.  Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to pop it up with the top under the birds slightly.

5.    On the inside ink up the sentiment “A friend like you brings me happiness” with Cherry Cobbler ink and stamp the bird stamp with Tuxedo Black Memento and color it in with the Stampin’ Blends.
