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
