Join this Stylin' Stampin' Squad for hoppin' Halloween ideas

 

Halloween never gets old. But you can mix it up a bit with a color that's not so traditional for the holiday, like Island Indigo on this heat embossed silly bat.

 

Thanks to my fellow SU! demo Heather, I have joined with the talented members of the Stylin' Stampin' Squad for a Halloween blog hop! Welcome, if you've dropped in from Nancy's Momma B Stampin blog. You all know I adore Halloween and all of the trimmings. Now you can jump from blog to blog to take in a variety of ideas. Hopefully you'll try making some too!

 

I used a color challenge at Hand Stamped Sentiments and a sketch challenge at Freshly Made Challenges for my Tricky Treats card. Both challenges end October 8. My favorite part of this card is the Delicate Designs embossed strip of Early Espresso Core'dinations Card Stock that I sanded and trimmed around. I love texture! The indigo banner was run through the Perfect Polka Dots folder.

 

A jumbo sticky round is holding the Tangerine Tango rosette to the card front. Those suckers are strong!

 



I had a few flat glass marbles in my stampin' drawer and thought it'd be fun to stamp some Tricky Treat images, glue them to the back of the marbles and add magnets. My daughter has dibs on these already! lol

Watch my friend Barb create a cute Halloween card using the Tricky Treats stamp set, Label Framelits, Houndstooth Embossing Folder, rhinestones, and Howlstooth and Scaringbone dsp.

Bea's embossed Tricky Treats card

 

One of my friends and downline, Bea, made this adorable Tricky Treat cards. I love the web-embossed panels of color, as well as the googly eyes on the spider. I'm adding this to The Great Pumpkin Blog Hop from here because Bea doesn't have a blog.

Are you ready for Week 2 of The Great Pumpkin Blog Hop?

Welcome back for Week 2 of my 13 weeks of Halloween fun with The Great Pumpkin Blog Hop.



Each week, add your Halloween creation to my blog hop, along with the code near the bottom of each post. When you add the code to your blog while you are in the edit HTML mode, your readers can play along, leave comments, and view the samples right from YOUR blog!

At the end of 13 weeks, I'll be giving one person a $50 Stampin' Up! gift certificate! The more times you enter the blog hop, the better your chances of taking home the Grand Prize. You also get a ticket just for displaying The Great Pumpkin Blog Hop badge on your blog. Whoo hoo!

For my card this week, I used Tricky Treats, cutting out the little ghost's mask and the entire curly label shape from a Jet Black StazOn-stamped image. I'd noticed when punching out the Tangerine Tango-stamped image that the punch cut off a bit all the way around. I also cut out the trick-or-treat bag from the black image, popped it up with a tiny dimensional, and added Dazzling Diamonds for the handle of the bag and the bottom of the ghost. The patterned paper is from the Howlstooth and Scaringbone dsp.

Now add your Halloween project! You've got until Tuesday at 1 p.m. (PST).
