Welcome to the September 2020 Candy Hearts Blog Hop! This month’s theme is Halloween. I used the Festive Corners stamp set, Cobwebs 3D Embossing Folder, and Magic in this Night Designer Series Paper to create a spooky fun 3D Pop Up card.
We have two special guests hopping with us today. One is the amazing and talented Mikaela Titheridge of The Crafty Oink Pen, and I can’t wait to see what she has in store for us. Mikaela has been a member of the prestigious Stampin’ Up! Artisan Design Team, and her projects are always spectacular. She’s also cute as a button! Next, Pam Morris of Tap Tap Stamp, is joining us on a regular basis, and I know she’ll have a super fun project for us. She is one of my Stampin’ Up! uplines, and she’s an absolute hoot and a half!
Be sure to hop around to all the stops, be cause you definitely don’t want to miss any of the projects from this group of terrific stampers!

Here’s what I did:
Cut and scored with my paper trimmer:
- Basic Gray card stock (CS) cut to 11″ x 4-1/4″, then scored in half at 5-1/2″
- Basic Gray CS layer cut to 5-3/8″ x 4-1/8″
- Magic in this Night Designer Series Paper (DSP) layer cut to 4″ x 3-1/2″ (stripes)
- DSP layer cut to 2-3/4″ x 3″ (spiders)
- Whisper White Thick CS cut to 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″, then cut and scored according to the diagram below
- DSP (cobwebs) cut to 2-3/8″ x 1-3/4″ (2 pieces), to 1-1/2″ x 3/4″ (4 pieces), and to 1/2″ x 1-3/4″ (2 pieces)
- DSP (cobwebs) cut to 3-3/8″ x 3-3/4″ (1 piece) then cut into a C shape according to the diagram below
Stamped with the Festive Corners stamp set:
- sentiment in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto the spider DSP layer (I used my Stamparatus to stamp it a couple of times so it would be nice and dark.)
- cobweb in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto the Whisper White Thick CS around the farthest right cut/score line
- spider in Memento Tuxedo Black ink hanging from the cobweb
Embossed using the Cobwebs 3D Embossing Folder:
- Basic Gray CS layer
Assembled the card:
- burnished the fold in the card base, and all the folds in the Whisper White Thick CS, with a Bone Folder
- striped DSP layer glued onto the embossed Basic Gray CS layer
- Metallic Mesh ribbon wrapped around both layers and adhered onto the back using Stampin’ Seal +
- Basic Gray CS layer glued onto the front of the card base
- spider DSP layer glued onto the striped DSP layer over the ribbon
- 3 Iridescent pearls applied onto the striped DSP layer (I like to use the pointy end of the Take Your Pick tool.)
- center score line of the Whisper White Thick CS lined up with the score line in the card base, then the C-shaped areas at both ends glued onto the inside of the card base
- cobwebs DSP pieces glued onto their corresponding scored areas of the Whisper White Thick CS

Thanks for stopping by today, and Sweet Stamping!
Candy – this card is a masterpiece! I like the purple and black. I think my favorite part is the little spider dangling from the cobweb – he fits perfectly with the inside of the “pop up” card. Your instructions are detailed and easy to follow, and the patterns/schematics are top notch. Thanks for organizing this hop and for sharing a great project.
Thank you so very much, Linda!!!
Wow, Candy! That is quite a card! Looks so simple with rich layers on the outside, but BOOM! What an incredible inside! Love it!
Thanks, B!
