I know it's only August, but Halloween is fun and sometimes sells out fast, so I thought I would share this cute new Home Decor Kit from Stampin' Up! We had a hat kit several years ago that was similar and I remember making it in the kitchen of one of my Stamping Friends. She is no longer with us, so this kit brought back a fond memory for me. Nothing better than crafting with friends! That hat was paper, and it lasted a few years, but eventually I had to toss it. The price wasn't high and it served me well while it lasted. This one is an actual fabric hat, so I think it will last even longer. I haven't put it together yet, I will make it with my daughter when it gets closer to Halloween. I bought two and she wants to make one with her friend, crafting with friends is being past down to her too I guess! Below you can see all the pieces!
One of my favorite parts, that super fun eye in the center of the flower!!
This would be a fun kit to have a friends night out with. You could make some spooky treats and craft together and everyone has a cute decor piece to take home. It would look fun on a mantle or entryway next to a bowl of Halloween candy. Love it!!
There is another Halloween decor piece that would be fun a Haunted Home kit! I have seen a few people also make these into other things, like a gingerbread house too. Have fun with it.
Set out some spooky treats with the Sweet and Spooky Kit!
This week I used the new Stamp and Die Bundle 'Sparkle of the Season'. This is a really great bundle that has elements to carry you through all the fall and winter holidays. The die set is large with 3 different wreath dies and so many extras.
Here I made three versions of a card with the same basic template. I wanted to hit the three big holidays of the fall/winter season.
I decided to try an even simpler version. I used woodgrain papers from the In Good Taste Designer Series Paper for the background on all three, and then just added one of the three different wreath dies. I think the swirl with the stars would also work for Christmas or even just a background for a birthday or congratulations or baby card. The whole collection is very versatile.
The die set has a lot of little extras such as the pumpkin, the bat, and the broom stick for Halloween. There are extra leaves and holly and even holly berries. You can even cut the leaves off of the fall wreath and use it as a background or layer with the pine wreath.
I made a lot of this version for a Demonstrator Card Swap that I participate in. To make the wreath have two colors, I cut it out in Old Olive, then used a sponge to add Shaded Spruce to the pine needles.
The background paper here is Heartwarming Hugs on the top and In Good Taste on the bottom.
The ribbon is from the Playful Pets ribbon combo pack.
On the fall version of the card I cut the wreath from Kraft paper and sponged the leaves in Cajun Craze, Bumblebee and Pumpkin Pie. I cut a few extra leaves from some scrap and placed them at the bottom of the wreath. The Fine Art ribbon is a fun sort of rustic linen with gold threading mixed in. Once again I am using the In Good Taste Designer Series Paper (I use this A Lot). The paper on the top is from the Harvest Meadow Designer Series Paper.
For the Halloween version I turned the template on it's side. I cut the stary swirl from Silver Foil Paper and the bats from Black Glitter Paper. I sponged some Gorgeous Grape in the background and added some Grape colored bats as well. The paper on this card is from the Cute Halloween Designer Series Paper Pack.
This card is so simple yet so pretty. The rustic look gives it a warm feel. I made the wreath the same way as above, cutting the wreath out in Old Olive and sponging the pine needles in Shaded Spruce.
And here is the fall version. I embossed the sentiment in Copper Embossing Powder and added Brushed Metallic Adhesive Backed Dots.
