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

Welcome to the October 2021 ICS Blog Hop! This month we are featuring our favorite punches. Of course, it’s impossible for me to choose one punch as my favorite. I like them all! But I finally decided to use the Halloween Punch because, you know, it’s October and all. The punch can be purchased alone or in a bundle with the Cutest Halloween stamp set (save 10% when you buy the bundle!)

Welcome to the September 2021 InKing Royalty Blog Hop! This month’s projects feature candy and treats, so prepare your sweet tooth for some wonderful inspiration. 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 at the base of this post.
Okay, so what do you do when you’ve spent days packing for a long weekend stamping retreat, and only remember you committed to do a blog hop the night before it goes live? Oops! Well, I didn’t want to undo all that packing, so first I checked to see what I could get to easily. Stamps and inks no, but dies yes. I was able to maneuver a Mini Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine out of its box. And I got to a Tombstone Treat Box. Okay, that would have to do. Of course, the project had to be quick and easy so I could get my post done in time. What I came up with is a spooky tombstone with twigs and fallen leaves, that you can put goodies in.

Here’s what I did:
Cut using the Intricate Leaves Dies:
several of the small leaves and 3 branches from scraps of Basic Black card stock (CS)
Cut using the Ornate Frames Dies:
frame from a scrap of Basic Grey CS
Put it all together:
burnished the folds in the box base and lid with a Bone Folder, then folded them to assemble (The box comes with peel off adhesive already attached!)
frame glued onto the front of the tombstone (top of the lid)
leaves glued along the bottom of the front
That’s it! Easy Peasy, Toil & Trouble! Or is it Bubble Bubble, Lemon Squeezy?

Welcome to the February 2021 PPPBH. This month’s kit is called Bouquet of Hope and it makes beautiful sympathy cards. I know these aren’t the most fun cards to make, but in my experience, it’s best to have them already made and on hand when you need them. I altered the kit to make a shabby chic style card and box: cut the stems from the large bouquet die cuts from the kit, and added smaller flowers to cover the cut area; flipped the gold doily over to the white side; and created a pop up insert for the card.
