Toxic Treats label framelit card with Herringbone technique

My club members made this beautiful Halloween card this month. It uses the stamp set Toxic Treats, one of my favorites! I CASE'd it from my blogging friend Elizabeth. It starts with a Pumpkin Pie card base that I embossed with the Vintage Wallpaper folder, then I used strips of Howlstooth & Scaringbone dsp on Very Vanilla card stock to create a herringbone pattern that is fabulous because it shows so many colors and patterns when run through the label framelit. The black label framelit was also embossed, and the button and 1/8" taffeta match the card.

I love this technique because it makes great use of dsp scraps! We all have those. There are still a few days left to enter your Halloween project in The Great Pumpkin Blog Hop. You can find that post below. Have a wonderful day!

Spooky Bingo Bits treat jar for Week 8 of Halloween blog hop

One of the best parts of Halloween - I think - is the CANDY!

I found this cute little container of gum and thought my favorite little neighbor girl would love it. Gum is her favorite! I created a rosette with the Simply Scored, and used Sticky Strip to hold it together, and a jumbo round to hold it to the lid. I used markers (Basic Black and Tangerine Tango) to ink up the Candy stamp from Spooky Bingo Bits, and used all of Stampin' Up!'s fabulous circle punches - including a scallop circle - for layers, a couple with dimensionals. The trick or treat saying is from Toxic Treats. And I used the striped ribbon around the lid (under the rosette) as well as for this bow.

Mixed Medley and Toxic Treats for Halloween

 

Have you earned the hostess set Mixed Medley yet? The spider web and this sentiment are both in that set. I chose the colors for this Halloween card from Pals Paper Arts Challenge #142. Inlinkz will close at noon (CST) Thursday, September 13.

 

I started with a Very Vanilla base and used the colors above, the Wood Grain and Square Lattice embossing folders, Wacky Wishes (in Elegant Eggplant), a rhinestone and 1/2" striped satin ribbon, along with Limited Edition dsp.

 

 

I used my bone folder to give the banners a little curl.  I love this sketch - it's from Try Stampin' On Tuesday Challenge 82. You have till Sept. 11 at 8 a.m. (EST) to add a project.

 

 

But wait, there's more! Since this is a Halloween card, I'm adding this to The Great Pumpkin Blog Hop!

I used the Petite Purse die for the Big Shot to make this party favor out of Howlstooth and Scaringbone dsp. I cut off the top flap, and the rounded sides at the top. Then I added a Trick or Treat banner from Toxic Treats, a stamp set I earned for FREE as an award for my sales this past year. I stamped the main image in Jet Black StazOn and die-cut it using the Labels Framelits, cutting a layer out of Basic Black card stock. There are a couple of Basic Glimmer Brads on the box too. You've got to have a little bling!

I'm submitting my party favor to Hand Stamped Sentiments for their Anything BUT a Card Challenge #129. You have until noon (CST) Monday to add your project.
Now it's your turn! Each week's blog hop will end on Tuesday at 1 p.m. (PST).
