It’s the little things that matter, such as stamps for 3″ x 3″ cards and tags. Use this stamp set to create them for your giveaways in the autumn and winter months. The way to happiness is to give others—and yourself—a treat once in a while!
For today’s project, I’ve used it on a cute little Halloween treat bag filled with candy corn. Who wouldn’t like to receive this gift? I know I would, and I don’t even like candy corn!

Anyone who knows me knows how much I love Halloween. It’s my favorite holiday. Lately I’ve really been enjoying playing with the new Spooky Cat Bundle (Spooky Cat stamp set and Cat Punch) and Spooky Night Designer Series Paper (DSP.) I used this great new items on today’s card, along with Rhinestone Basic Jewels to make the cats’ eyes seem to glow (in the right light.) I think almost all of my customers have already bought this bundle and DSP, but if you haven’t, I highly recommend them. You can make cute projects or scary ones. I’ll be sharing more projects made with these, so stay tuned!
And be sure to scroll all the way down to check out the new FREE Merry Patterns Stamp Set promotion!
Here’s what I made:
In this photo, it looks like I drew a black dot on the centers of the green eyes, but it’s just a trick of the light. See other photos below.
Here’s what I did:
Cut and scored with my Stampin’ Trimmer:
Pumpkin Pie card stock (CS) cut to 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″, then scored in half at 4-1/4″
Basic Black CS cut to 4-1/8″ x 5-3/8″
Very Vanilla CS cut to 4″ x 5-1/4″ (2 pieces)
Spooky Night Designer Series Paper (DSP) cut to 2″ x 5-1/4″ (black with skinny stripes)
Very Vanilla CS cut to 3″ x 3/4″
Stamped with the Spooky Cat stamp set:
sentiment in Basic Black ink onto the Very Vanilla CS strip
sentiment in Pumpkin Pie ink over the Basic Black sentiment, but slightly offset
texture image in Pumpkin Pie ink down the left side of the 4″ x 5-1/4″ Very Vanilla CS piece
Cut using the Cat Punch:
2 cats from the the DSP (orange cat from on one side, and the other cat from the other side of the DSP with dots)
Cut using the Banner Triple Punch:
both ends of the sentiment strip
Assembled the card:
2″ x 5-1/4″ piece of DSP glued onto the 4″ x 5-1/4″ piece of Very Vanilla CS, with about 1/8″ showing on the right side
then glued both cats to this top layer, with their tails intertwined (Get both cats straight and glued down, then glue down the tails, which will be sticking up a bit.)
glued this top layer onto the Basic Black CS layer
glued the Basic Black CS layer to the front of the card base
adhered the sentiment to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals
Optional: colored Rhinestone Basic Jewels with a green Sharpie marker (any alcohol marker should work) then applied them to the cats’ eyes. See the photo below showing the card with and without the rhinestone eyes.

For example, the Patterned Pumpkins Thinlits Dies work with the Pick a Pumpkin stamp set (available together in a bundle to save you 10%) as well as the Spooky Night Designer Series Paper (see the pumpkins in the lower left corner of the DSP pictured below.) The 4 pumpkin framelits in the set cut out the pumpkins in the paper! And the Cat Punch works with the Spooky Cat stamp set (also bundled) as well as the Spooky Night Designer Series Paper (see the cats second from the upper left corner of the DSP pictured below.)
Here’s what I made:

Yesterday, I hosted an Open House style Launch Party highlighting products from the new Holiday Catalog. It was a lot of fun! Below are some photos of the displays, and instructions for the Make & Take. (Wouldn’t you know, I completely forgot to take any photos during the actual event. Guess I was having too much fun!)
Here are the Launch Party photos:

Here’s what we made:
I borrowed an extra stamp set, so there are more stamps in this photo than you actually need.
We used two stamp sets for this card. The Painted Harvest stamp set (which will be available in a Bundle with the new Leaf Punch) has some lovely sentiments, but I just adore the font used in the Count My Blessings stamp set.
If you’ve wanted to try a multi-step stamp set but were afraid to, the Painted Harvest stamp set is the perfect one to try first. The flower layers don’t have to be lined up exactly, so it’s good practice for the ones that do.
Here’s what we did:
Stamped with the Painted Harvest stamp set:
first flower layer in Crushed Curry onto the front of the card base
second flower layer in Cajun Craze
flower center in Chocolate Chip
Stamped with the Count My Blessing stamp set:
sentiment in Chocolate Chip
Assembled the card:
used a Bone Folder to burnish the score line in the Note Card
put the card in the envelope
That’s it! Using the pre-cut and pre-scored Note Cards makes this card super easy!

Happy World Card Making Day! And welcome to the World Card Making Day International Blog Hop! We think using current Stampin’ Up!® products to share lots of amazing inspiration with you is a fantastic way to celebrate this annual event. You are currently visiting my blog, Stamp Candy, in the US, but you will be visiting different countries in your hop today. There is a list near the bottom of this post which will help you hop along from blog to blog, so you can see all the amazing projects we have lined up for you.
I am in serious Halloween mode right now. We have a party every year and there’s a lot to do to get ready: costumes, decorating, food, etc. So today I’m sharing a sweet Halloween card with you.
Here’s what I made:
Here’s how I did it:
All the images are from the Glamper Greetings stamp set. I stamped them in Black Memento ink onto Whisper White card stock. You could also use Basic Black Archival ink. I used a Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Write Marker to color in the jack-o-lantern.
I glued this to a piece of Basic Black card stock. I cut a couple pieces of twine, from the Halloween Night Baker’s Twine pack. I wrapped them around and adhered them to the back. Then I tied a smaller piece around those two pieces. I did this for two reasons: 1) there is less bulk on the back of the layer, and 2) it’s easier to get it smooth and not twisted, and to tie the knot where you want it.
I then glued that to the Pumpkin Pie card base. That’s it! Easy peasy!

Welcome to InKing Royalty’s September Blog Hop! We are excited to share some super-fun creations with you today! This month’s Blog Hop is filled with inspiring projects that feature each artist’s take on the spookiest time of year – Halloween. What fun! After you read my post, I hope you’ll hop over to the next person on the list at the base of this post.
This is the hop I’ve been waiting for! Anyone who knows me knows that I am a huge fan of Halloween. My husband and I throw a party every year and invite all our friends. Some people fly cross country for it. We’ve even had folks cross an ocean for it!
We always have a costume contest, and I like to make the awards. A few years ago I found some little plastic skulls with spines on stands in a bargain bin somewhere (probably Target or Michael’s.) They were super cheap and I knew I would be able to use them at some point, so I got them. This is their year. The party theme is Circus, so I’m making creepy little clown trophies out of them.
Here’s how I did it:
I made the hat from a piece of paper from the Playful Palette Designer Series Paper Stack and Emerald Envy Solid Baker’s Twine. I’m the first to admit that I am an abysmal pompom maker, but for this project I don’t think it matters so much. The loops of twine along the bottom of the hat are also messy. I think it adds to the creepiness of the overall look. The hat is put together, and attached to the skull, with Fast Fuse, Mini Glue Dots, and Tear & Tape adhesives.
I used the 1″ Circle Punch to cut a piece of Real Red card stock and attached it to the nose with 4 layered Stampin’ Dimensionals.
For the bowtie, I used the Bow Builder Punch to cut a piece of Basic Black card stock. I photocopied the pieces at 300%, and cut out the larger pieces. I used these to cut out the bowtie pieces from a piece of Petals & Paisleys Designer Series Paper. I assembled the bow with Fast Fuse, and attached it to the spine with Mini Glue Dots.
I haven’t made the tags yet for each award: Scariest Costume, Prettiest Costume, etc. I’m still trying to decide exactly what I want to do. Please let me know if you have any suggestions!
Thank you for hopping along with us. I hope you’ll hop along to the next stop on the blog hop, Lory Robinson at The Robin’s Nest Designs. There’s a lot of inspiration to be found in this group – and you don’t want to miss it!
