Welcome to the October 2022 Inking Royalty Blog Hop! This month’s blog hop is dedicated to Halloween. The inspiration for my card is a shirt I saw online and thought was a hoot:
I decided to make my own version with the sweater from the Forever Friendship stamp set. Just FYI, the Dark Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Blends Marker is great for blood…ya know, just in case you ever need it. I used the black ink pad to grunge up the layers on the front and the inside. The one time I didn’t get an ink smudge on the card, and I wanted to!
We are excited to share our creations and hope you love them! After reading my post, I hope you will hop to the next person on the list below. Be sure to hop around to see ALL the great projects the Royals have created for you!

Welcome to the September 2022 Candy Hearts Blog Hop! It’s almost the time of year for all things spooky and fun. And Stampin’ Up! has all you need to make sure your treats are the cutest on the block. So today we’re sharing Halloween treat ideas. I used the Cracker & Treat Box Dies to create a cute little treat holder. I decorated some Designer Series Paper with washi tape, and added Metallic Mesh Ribbon which reminds me of silvery cobwebs. I used the Scary Cute stamp set for the sentiment – I inked only half of the sentiment at a time and stamped onto separate pieces of card stock.
After reading my post, I hope you will hop to the next person on the list below. Be sure to hop around to see ALL the great projects the Candy Hearts have created for you!

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!

S October 2021 OSAT Blog Hop October 2021 OSAT Blog Hop October 2021 OSAT Blog Hop October 2021 OSAT Blog Hop
Here’s what I made:
S
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:

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 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:
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:
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
