Welcome to the October 2021 OSAT Blog Hop! This month’s theme is A Ghoul’s Night Out, so we’re sharing Halloween projects with you today. The theme suggests fun, and I wanted my projects to be fun, but also spooky. I used Linen Paper and the Cutest Halloween Stamp Set to create a mummy card and treat box. The Cutest Halloween stamp set can be bundled with the Halloween punch to save 10%. The bundle is also a part of the Cute Halloween Suite Collection.
Be sure to hop all the way around to all the blogs to see all the great projects this group has created for you!

Here’s what I made:

Here’s what I did:
Linen Paper:
- cut Linen paper to 6″ x 6″ (2 pieces)
- used a Blending Brush and ink pads in Crumb Cake, Soft Suede, and Early Espresso to color the Linen paper
- colored the edges and flap of a Very Vanilla Note Card envelope using the same Blending Brush and ink pads
- added more color to the Linen paper with the edges of the ink pads
- used Paper Snips to cut little snips along one edge of the Linen Paper, just to get it started so I could tear it into strips
- tore the Linen paper into strips averaging about 3/8″ wide
- Note: the backing tended to curl up or come off entirely as I tore.
Stamped with the Cutest Halloween stamp set:
- card sentiment in Jet Black Memento ink onto one of the linen strips (I used my Stamparatus to stamp a few times so it would be nice and dark.)
- box sentiment in Jet Black Memento ink onto a scrap of Crumb Cake cardstock (CS)
Envelope:
- colored the edges and flap of a Very Vanilla Note Card envelope using the same Blending Brush and ink pads
Eyes:
- cut 4 circles from Basic Black CS using the Turtle Builder Punch
- cut 4 circles from Basic White Thick CS using a standard hand-held 1/4″ hole punch (available anywhere you buy office or school supplies)
Tag:
- tore the Crumb Cake CS around the box sentiment, leaving a little extra space at one end for the hole
- cut a hole in the end using the Turtle Builder Punch
- used the same Blending Brush and Soft Suede ink pad to “dirty up” the tag a little bit
Assembled the card:
- burnished the fold in a Very Vanilla Note Card with a Bone Folder
- applied torn strips of Linen paper onto the card front, then trimmed the excess from the ends using Paper Snips
- Note: I used the strips from the cut edges of the Linen paper along the top and bottom of the card front.
- applied the strip with sentiment over the other strips
- ran blending brush over strips for a little more dirt
- glued 2 eyes onto the strips
Assembled the box:
- burnished the folds in the box and lid with a Bone Folder, and folded to assemble
- applied linen strips onto the top of the lid, covering up the little ribbon handle
- wrapped linen strips around the sides of the lid to cover the whole thing
- Note: I used the strips from the cut edges of the Linen paper along the top and bottom of the lid.
- wrapped strips around just the bottom of the box (Only cover the part of the box that shows when the lid is on, about 1/4″ to 3/8″. I sent a little above that and the strips tend to curl down in a few places when the lid goes on the box.)
- wrapped any extra strips in a haphazard way over the lid
- ran blending brush over strips for a little more dirt
- glued 2 eyes onto one side of the lid
- wrapped linen thread around the box and tied it in a bow, also tying on the tag

Here’s what I made:
The photos aren’t in my usual style because I’m at a stamping retreat in the mountains and don’t have my light box.
S
Here’s what I did:
Cut and scored with my paper trimmer:
- Merry Merlot card stock (CS) cut to 4″ x 8″, then scored in half at 4″, then scored again from the two top corners to the bottom center
- Merry Merlot CS cut to 4″ x 4″, then scored in half diagonally from corner to corner
- 2 pieces Basic White CS cut to 3-7/8″ x 3-7/8″, cut in half diagonally from corner to corner, to make 4 triangles
- 2 pieces Designer Series Paper (DSP) layer cut to 3-7/8″ x 3-7/8″, cut in half diagonally from corner to corner, to make 4 triangles
Stamped with the Beauty of Friendship stamp set:
- sentiment in Cinnamon Cider ink onto a scrap of Bumblebee CS
Cut using the Beautiful Trees Dies:
Assembled the card:
- burnished the folds in the Merry Merlot CS card base pieces with a Bone Folder
- 4″ Merry Merlot CS glued onto the 8″ Merry Merlot CS, lining up the score line of the smaller piece with the center score line of the larger piece, and lining up the top point of the smaller piece with the top edge of the larger piece. I made sure the two outer triangles could fold over the diamond in the middle. This is the inside of the card.
4 Basic White CS triangles glued onto the inside of the card base
- closed the card into a teepee shape and marked where I wanted the two ribbons to tie in a bow to close the card
- 2 pieces of ribbon adhered onto the card base using Tear & Tape
- 3 DSP layers glued onto the card base as shown (You’ll have an extra triangle leftover for another project.)
- closed card and tied ribbon in a bow

Welcome to the August 2021 IRBH! This month’s projects feature leaves and trees, so you are likely to find lots of inspiration for Autumn. We are excited to share our creations with you today! After you read my post, I hope you’ll hop over to the next person on the list further down this post.

Here’s what I made:
The color is a little off in this photo, but you can see some of the sparkle and shine of the Gold Shimmer Vellum and the heat embossed sentiment:
S
Here’s what I did:
Cut and scored with my paper trimmer:
- Basic Black card stock (CS) cut to 4-1/4″ x 11″, then scored in half at 5-1/2″
- Gold Foil Sheet layer cut to 4″ x 5-1/4″
- Basic Black CS layer cut to 3-3/4″ x 5″
- Gold Shimmer Vellum layer cut to 3-1/2″ x 4-3/4″
- Very Vanilla CS cut to 4″ x 5-1/4″ for the inside of the card base
Stamped with the Christmas to Remember stamp set:
- sentiment in Versamark ink onto a scrap of Basic Black CS, then heat embossed in gold
Cut using the Seasonal Labels Dies:
Cut using the Layering Circles Dies:
- a ring from a scrap of Gold Foil Sheet using the two largest plain circle dies
Made the Wreath:
- adhered Gold Holly Leaves, one by one, around the gold foil die cut circle, using Mini Glue Dots
- I used a little over 2 packs of the leaves. You could use fewer by making the circle base smaller and making the wreath thinner.
- The silicone craft sheet is the perfect surface to create the wreath. I happened to have the backing sheet from some labels on my table, and I would’ve had to stand up to get the craft sheet, so of course I used the label backing. But the craft sheet would’ve been better.
- back of the wreath
Assembled the card:
- burnished the fold in the card base with a Bone Folder
- Gold Foil layer adhered onto the front of the card base using Stampin’ Seal+
- Basic Black CS layer adhered onto the Gold Foil layer using Stampin’ Seal+
- sentiment adhered onto the Gold Shimmer Vellum layer using Stampin’ Seal+
- wreath adhered onto the Gold Shimmer Vellum layer using Mini Glue Dots
- Gold Shimmer Vellum layer adhered onto the Basic Black CS layer using Stampin’ Seal+ under the wreath and sentiment, so it wouldn’t show through
- Very Vanilla CS glued onto the inside of the card base

Welcome to the October 2020 InKing Royalty Blog Hop! This month we are featuring Thanksgiving themed projects.

I made the tage using layers of card stock and two punches: the Lovely Layers Pick a Punch and the Triple Banner Punch (aka Banner Triple Punch.)

Scored with Simply Scored Tool:

- DSP scored 1/2″ from each side
- NOTE: You can score using the Paper Trimmer, but for boxes I prefer to use the Simply Scored tool, just to make sure all the sides are scored exactly the same.

Cut using the Lovely Labels Pick a Punch:
- one end of each of the three CS strips

- burnished the folds in the box and lid with a Bone Folder
- each tab of the lid glued onto the inside of the adjacent side
- box sides folded up, and tabs tucked inside the adjacent side (You can glue them if you want, but I usually leave them loose. I like the way it flops open when you take off the lid.)
- tucked in some goodies (4 Hershey kisses fit perfectly) and put on the lid
- wrapped the ribbon around the box and tied in a bow
Assembled the tag:
- Whisper White CS strip glued onto the Mango Melody CS strip

I used the Color Velveteen Paper Pack and Stitched Leaves Dies to make the leaves for the front of this easy Autumnal thank you card. I love how the dies for the centers of the leaves make impressions in the velveteen. The sentiment is from the Love of Leaves stamp set, which is available with these dies in a bundle to save 10%.

Welcome to the October 2020 Candy Hearts Blog Hop! This month we’re featuring Thanksgiving themed projects.

On the other side, is space to write a person’s name for a seating arrangement, or the name of a dish for a buffet.
