The Little things stamp set is really versatile, with stamp themes for Halloween, Christmas, Valentines, or any other occasion when you want to give someone a treat or gift. Today’s project uses the Spooky-licious stamp with a sponged Mini Pizza Box cut with the Stitched Shapes Framelits Dies, and a Window Sheet. To see the other project I made using this same stamp, click here.
You should have seen me shopping for candies to put in all the treat containers I’ve been making. Our local supermarket has a large of candies sold by weight, so you can get as much of each type as you want. I was buying lots of jelly beans because they are so easy to use for this. I got a few odd looks as I put bag after bag of candies into my cart. Someone said I must really like them and asked me to recommend some good jelly bean flavors. Unfortunately I couldn’t’ help them because I wasn’t buying them by flavor. Instead I was buying them by color to match my projects!
Here’s what I made:
Here’s what I did:
Cut with my Stampin’ Trimmer:
Window Sheet cut to 3-1/4″ x 3-1/4″
Stamped with The Little Things stamp set:
Spookylicious image in Basic Black Archival ink onto the cut Window Sheet
Spookylicious image in Basic Black Archival ink onto a scrap of Pumpkin Pie card stock (CS)
Cut using Paper Snips:
the banner from the image stamped onto Pumpkin Pie CS
Die cut using the Stitched Shapes Framelits:
circle from the top of the Mini Pizza Box
NOTE: When we demonstrators were first introduced to the new Holiday Catalog in Thailand in July, I was told to use the Stitched Shapes Framelits Dies instead of the Layering Circles/Ovals/Squares Framelits Dies, because they cut through the thick box better.
Colored using Stampin’ Sponges:
the exterior of the Mini Pizza Box in Pumpkin Pie and Tangerine Tango inks, layering the colors over and over to achieve the look I wanted (this actually goes very quickly)
Assembled the project:
Window Sheet adhered to the inside of the box lid, with the stamped image showing through the hole, using Tear & Tape
banner adhered to the outside of the box lid, covering the banner portion of the image on the Window Sheet, using Tear & Tape
I filled the box with white jelly beans so the image on the Window Sheet would show up

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.

Today the 2017 Holiday Catalog goes live! I am so excited about this new catalog! There are some amazing new items, and I love how so many of them work together.

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’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!
