Welcome to the Home Decor SU Style Blog Hop October 2020! This month we’re featuring home decor items you can give as a gift. I made a framed Halloween sampler featuring the Ghoulish Goodies stamp set and the Magic in This Night Designer Series Paper, along with Everything Essential stamp set, Hallows Night Magic stamp set, Ornate Frames Dies, and Halloween Magic Dies. While I thought I ordered a black 12×12 frame, a white one came instead. I didn’t have time to get another one, so please try to imagine this in a black frame. Thanks!
Please be sure to hop around to all the stops, to see all the projects this group has made for you today. You will find the list below.

Here’s what I made:
I don’t know why I thought this was a tree, when it is clearly a branch with a bat hanging from it. I’m going to try to pull this piece off and rotate it 90 degrees, but I was afraid to try it before I took the photos. By the way, I love how the metallic Mesh Ribbon over the Basic Gray background looks like cobwebs.
I might redo this panel on Rich Razzleberry cardstock instead of Blackberry Bliss, so it would be easier to see. What do you think?
I sponged black ink very lightly all over this embossed layer, which really made the cobwebs show up.
S
Here’s what I did:
Cut and scored with my paper trimmer:
Basic Black card stock (CS) layers cut 3-1/2″ x 3-1/2″ (9 pieces)
Magic in This Night Designer Series Paper (DSP) layers cut to 3″ x 3″ (8 different patterns)
Basic Gray CS layer cut to 3-1/2″ x 3-1/2″
Pretty Peacock CS layer cut to 1-7/8″ x 1-7/8″
Basic Gray CS layer cut to 2″ x 2″ (2 pieces)
Blackberry Bliss CS layer cut to 1-5/8″ x 1-5/8″
Stamped with the Ghoulish Goodies stamp set in black Memento ink *:
branch onto the Pretty Peacock CS layer
cat onto a scrap of Whisper White CS
raven in cage onto a 2″ Basic Gray CS layer
vampire onto a scrap of Basic Gray CS
witch onto the Blackberry Bliss CS layer
Stamped using the Everything Essential stamp set *:
house in black Memento ink onto the other 2″ Basic Gray CS layer
* For all the images with solid areas, I used the Stamparatus so I could stamp multiple times, to make sure I got good solid coverage.
Stamped using the Hallows Night Magic stamp set:
spider in black Memento ink onto a scrap of Rich Razzleberry CS
sentiment in Versamark onto a scrap of Basic Black CS, then heat embossed in white
Cut using the Ornate Frames Dies:
cat and vampire using the same die
two frames from a scrap of Basic Black CS for the cat and vampire
two frames from a scrap of Basic Black CS for the sentiment
sentiment – The sentiment is longer than the die, so I cut the strip to 7/8″, then die cut one end at a time. I lined up the die with one end of the sentiment and covered only that end with the top cutting plate. Then did the same thing on the other end.
Cut using the Halloween Magic Dies:
spider
Colored using Stampin’ Blends Markers:
eyes of cat in Granny Apple Green
cat’s nose in Smoky Slate
cat’s collar in Blackberry Bliss
background of cat in Pretty Peacock
2 rhinestones in Granny Apple Green
2 rhinestones in Blackberry Bliss
the DSP layer with bats in Blackberry Bliss (I started by coloring just the bats, but I could see where the ink got on the black background, so I colored the entire layer.)
Embossed the moon:
colored the moon using a Stampin’ Blends Marker dipped in Versamark ink, then heat embossed it in white
NOTE: this moon is on the top left layer
Embossed using the Cobweb 3D Embossing Folder:
3″ Basic Gray CS layer
Inked using a Stampin’ Sponge:
edges of all layers (except the Basic Black CS ones) in black Memento ink
front of Basic Gray CS layer in black Memento ink, very lightly just to accentuate the embossed cobweb
NOTE: I cut each sponge into 8 wedges, so they go much farther
Assembled the card:
cat and vampire glued onto their die cut frames
sentiment glued onto one frame, lining up one end
second frame glued onto the back of the sentiment, lining it up with the other end
Here it is from the back:
Metallic Mesh Ribbon adhered onto a 12″ x 12″ piece of Basic Gray CS, so it will show between the layers and around the edges, using Tear & Tape
3-1/2″ Basic Black CS layers adhered onto the Basic Gray background, over the ribbon, using Stampin’ Seal
3″ layers adhered onto the Basic Black CS layers using Black Stampin’ Dimensionals
all remaining pieces adhered onto their respective 3″ layers using Black Stampin’ Dimensionals
Granny Apple Green rhinestones applied onto the cat’s eyes using my Take Your Pick tool
Blackberry Bliss rhinestones applied onto the spider (to approximate an hourglass, like a black widow spider) using my Take Your Pick tool

Welcome to the September 2020 Home Decor Stampin’ Up! Style Blog Hop! We are sharing ideas for seasonal home decor. Today is the first day of Autumn here in the United States. As we say here in the South, Happy Fall, Y’all! I made a little banner out of a bunch of scraps of card stock in Autumnal colors. I used the Gathered Leaves Dies to cut AND emboss the leaves, and the Playful Alphabet Dies for the lettering. And it’s strung on Linen Thread. The acorns in the middle are punched from a scrap of Gilded Autumn Designer Series Paper using the Autumn Punch Pack. This is a no-stamping project. Easy Peasy!

Today is my first time participating in the Home Decor SU Style Blog Hop. I used the Boo to You stamp set, Word Wishes Dies, and Monster Bash Designer Series Paper to create this greeting for my foyer table. I just love the Boo to You stamp set’s three adorable little monsters. Now I realize that “adorable monsters” might seem like an oxymoron, but these guys really are cute.

It’s time for the APPT April 2019 Blog Hop! This month’s kit is called Sentimental Rose, and includes all you need to make 9 beautiful cards AND a box to put them in. Be sure to hop around to all the stops. You don’t want to miss any of the great alternative projects you can make with this month’s kit.
S
Here’s what I made:
A flatware/napkin holder and a card for a wedding shower. Since these were the only napkins I had with pink in them, I took the color (Lemon Lime Twist) from them for the projects. The Lemon Lime Twist card base and the Gingham Gala Adhesive Backed sequins are the only things you see that didn’t come in the kit. (I put the sequins on the box, but forgot to put them on the card before I took the photo. Oops!)
S
Here’s what I did:
Cut and scored with my Stampin’ Trimmer:
Lemon Lime Twist card stock (CS) cut to 5-12″ x 8-1/2″, then scored in half at 4-1/4″
acrylic box from the kit cut down from 5-1/4″ long to 4″ long – just cut off one end of the box
Stamped with the Sentimental Rose stamp set:
sentiment in Gray Granite ink onto a die cut tag from the kit
Assembled the card:
burnished the fold in the card base with a Bone Folder
corrugated piece glued onto the front of the card base
printed piece from the kit adhered over the corrugated piece using Stampin’ Dimensionals
left half of sentiment glued onto the printed piece, and the right half adhered onto the corrugated piece using Stampin’ Dimensionals
3 Lemon Lime Twist sequins applied onto the card front (Oops! I forgot to put these on the card before I took the photos.)
Assembled the flatware holder:
burnished the folds in the cut down acrylic box with a Bone Folder
folded in the flaps on the bottom end to form the holder
long corrugated piece wrapped around the bottom of the holder and adhered the ends together with the attached peel and stick adhesive (This helps the holder stand up.) If you feel the need, you can put a couple of glue dots under the back of the corrugated piece to hold it to the acrylic box.
adhered a printed piece onto the corrugated piece and the acrylic holder using Stampin’ Dimensionals
3 Lemon Lime Twist sequins applied onto the front of the holder
napkin and flatware inserted into holder

It’s time for the last A Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop of the year! The December kit is called Day By Day and if featured a cute little calendar and a gift box it fits in. For my alternate projects I used some of the calendars to make birthday cards and some to make a calendar cube. I’ll send the cards to someone with a birthday or anniversary that month, and I’ll circle the date on the calendar – there’s a handy little circle stamp in the set just for this purpose! I’ve left the insides blank for now so I can stamp the appropriate sentiment in them later. I haven’t lined these yet either, but I’ll glue a piece of Whisper White card stock inside each one for the sentiment and handwritten note.
The kit makes an 18 month calendar: January 2019 – June 2020. You can make 3 cubes, 6 months each, or you can use some for cards. Get two kits and you can do both!
Here’s what I made:
I only got 3 cards made so far. For the first two I used only kit components on a card base. For the third one I also used a Gold Foil Sheet and some ribbon not in the kit.
The cube is 4″ x 4″ x 4″. I glued on the calendars going in all different directions.
Here you can see where the two boxes go together to make the cube.
Here’s what I did:
Cut and scored with my Stampin’ Trimmer:
12″ x 12″ Grapefruit Grove card stock (CS) scored at 4″ and 8″ in both directions
Grapefruit Grove CS cut to 11-7/8″ x 11-7/8″, then scored at 3-15/16″ from all four sides
Pool Party, Grapefruit Grove, and Gray Granite CS cut to 4-1/4″ x 11″, then scored in half at 5-1/2″
Gold Foil Sheet cut to 4″ x 5-1/4″
trimmed the sides off the sheets of white rectangular stickers (see below) – this gave me more stickers of the same length but different widths, some 1-1/8″ tall and some 3/4″ tall
trimmed some of the 1-1/8″ tall stickers to 3/4″ tall
trimmed the tops off the calendars for the cube and for one of the cards
Stamped with the Day By Day stamp set:
dots in Pool Party, Grapefruit Grove, and Gray Granite inks onto some of the stickers
Assembled the cards:
burnished the folds in the card bases with a Bone Folder
applied a stamped sticker onto two of the calendars, then glued them onto the front of the card bases
ran a 4″ piece of ribbon through the two holes and adhered the ends on the back
tied a 4″ piece of ribbon around the first piece of ribbon and trimmed the ends
adhered the first two calendars onto the fronts of the card bases using Stampin’ Dimensionals
gold foil layer glued onto the front of the third card base
calendar with the top trimmed away (to remove the holes) adhered onto the gold layer
a piece of Gray Granite ribbon adhered onto the calendar
a piece of gold ribbon adhered onto the Gray Granite ribbon
glued (or will glue) a 4″ x 5-1/4″ piece of Whisper White CS to the inside of each card base
Assembled the cube:
burnished the folds in the two large Grapefruit Grove CS pieces with a Bone Folder
cut down one score line on each corner, only to the first score line it crosses
cut away most of the 4 corner panels (the green areas below) leaving a little for a tab
glued each tab to the inside of the adjacent side – this gave me two topless boxes
inserted the smaller box inside the larger box, open side first, and put a little adhesive just inside the seam where they met
glued the 6 calendars (I used January – June 2020) onto the 6 sides of the cube
applied a 3/4″ tall stamped sticker to each calendar

Need a really last minute gift? Wrap something ordinary, like a plain soap / lotion dispenser, in decorative paper and add a few embellishments, and you have a lovely and sensible gift that anyone can use. I used Dashing Along Designer Series Paper to wrap the dispenser. I used a new punch from the 2019 Occasions catalog (Bitty Blooms Punch Pack sneak peek!) for the little flowers around the top. The bow on the tag is from the Bring on the Presents bundle.
