SSSC138......Wicked Halloween



Good Morning Peeps!!!
It is Sunday which means it's time for another Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge.

Here is the SWEET sketch Karen has for us this week:


This was toughie!!!
 I almost didn't even get one done! I started out mid week on my card, when I got prompted by some other over achievers on the sketch team,  :) I got the base and BG done but really didn't know for sure what I wanted to do for the main image panel, so I just put it aside til later. I got back to it yesterday afternoon and tried a few different things before settling on what you see.

 I used the DSP from the "Pick Your Poison" paper pack on the BG and for the main panel. I stamped directly onto some of the DSP.  I used the Stampin Up "Out On A Limb" stamp set. I stamped the "Limb" a few times to make the tree. I used my stamp-a-ma-jig to add the bats, using just two instead of the three that are on the stamp.
I punched a 1-1/4 inch circle into a scrap piece of card stock and used that to make my moon. I sponged peach parfait, pumpkin pie and tangerine tango ink into the circle.


I added some pumpkin pie satin ribbon and silver pearls for my accents. The strip across the middle is made up a piece from the Pick your Poison Quick Accents and I added a black scallop piece. The sentiment is from the Stampin Up "Wicked Cool" stamp set and is stamped with black stazon onto the DSP and punched out with the 1'1/4 inch circle punch and I matted with a 1-3/8 inch circle punch of black.


I hope you can find some time to play along with us this week, I would love to see what you come up with, create a card or scrapbook page with this sketch and then go to Karen's blog and link up your project for all of us to see.

OK, let's see what the rest of the Sweet Sunday Sketch Team has in store for us this week:







Well, thank you for stopping by today and HAPPY STAMPING!!!

Trick or Treat, Scary & Sweet


Happy Friday Peeps!!!

Today I am sharing a little Halloween box I made. I spent some time this week with my friend Wendy and we both made a Halloween themed box. I had got these little wooden boxes a while back at a local craft store, they are unfinished wood and I had painted them black to decorate for Halloween. 

I used some paper from the Stampin Up Frightful Sight paper pack. I cut a couple of strips to go around the top and bottom. I added the trim around these made with the Tasteful Trim die in pumpkin pie card stock.
I used the new "Out on a Limb" stamp set to create the pieces for the front.

I stamped the limbs, the little witch and her broom onto some whisper white card stock and cut them out.
I colored the witch with some daffodil delight and rich razzleberry ink. Her broom is colored with the same and some added more mustard ink. I punched out a circle with my 1-1/2 inch punch and some daffodil delight card stock I sponged it with some pumpkin pie ink.


The sentiment is from the "Grateful Greetings" stamp set. I used my markers to color in the words with pumpkin pie, old olive, basic black and rich razzleberry. I added a Pumpkin Pie satin ribbon bow around the handle. Wendy had some Halloween colored filler and some chocolate to add to the box! Be sure and head over to her blog WeeBeeStampin4Fun to see her box, it is adorable!!!!!

Well, that is all from me today, thanks for stopping by and 
HAPPY STAMPING!!!!

Out On A Limb


Happy Hump Day peeps!!!

Today I have a fun Halloween Project to share with you featuring some sneak peeks from the upcoming Stampin Up Holiday Mini.
I created these treat tags using the Stampin Up "Out on a Limb" Stamp Set and the 1 x 8 Cellophane Bags. These are narrow cellophane bags perfect for filling with a row of treats, a pencil or anything!

And here are close ups of the tags so you can see them a bit better. I used a piece of hemp and a button to tie the tags to the bags.

All the tags are 2-1/4 " x 3" I used the tag corner punch (retired), to make the top.
Each tag has some Halloween paper from either the "Frightful Sight" pack or the upcoming "Pick Your Poison" DSP.




For this tag I used the cute little witch and her broom from the set.
 I stamped her and her broom onto some white card stock and colored with my aqua painter.
I punched a 1-1/2" circle with daffodil delight and sponged with pumpkin pie ink. I added the moon to the tag with some dimensionals and added the witch and broom.



The next tag is made the same as the witch but I used the cat and limb stamp.



I cut out the cat and the limb and added to the moon and then the moon is added to the tag with some dimesionals.



Lastly I used the Limb again and stamped that directly onto the tag and then stamped the cute Moustache Pumpkins onto some white card stock and colored them lightly with some pumpkin pie ink. I cut them out and added them to the tag with a dimesionals.



All the sentiments are from the Teeny Tiny Stamp Set and is stamped with black stazon onto the tag.
I added some black rhinestones (retired) on each tag.



I will be adding to my bucket as the weeks click along heading towards Halloween, should have it overflowing by then.

Well, that is all from me today, hope you enjoyed the little "Out On A Limb" Treat Tags. Thanks for stopping by and
 HAPPY STAMPING!!!!
