SU Stars Blog Hop, Halloween Table



Hello and welcome to the SU Stars blog hop. You probably just visited Charlotte Hollingsworth Stamping is my Therapy, just love her projects. I decided to do something for my Halloween dinner table. I had a lot of fun making these little guys.

The pumpkins are 12 strips of 1" x 12", I put them through the big shot with various embossing folders then decorated them with leaves cut out with the Autumn Accents Bigz Die, sponged the edges with contrasting ink and then wrinkled the leafs.

The brooms are 2 1/2" x 12", draw a line across at 1 1/2", place a piece of Sticky Strip above the line, then cut strips above and below the Sticky Strip at random. Roll on a stick, pencil, or piece of Twizzler (wrapped in a cellophane bag). I used a small dowel and rapped it with ribbon.

The hats are scraps of DSP, curled into a hat form, cut the bottom to make a circle, punch out a circle and glue to each other. Fun projects.

Now it's time to head on over to Denise Foor Studio PA, can't wait to see Denise's project, I always love browsing her webpage, she has such great ideas. Thanks for stopping by.

Good morning. I know, it isn't even Halloween and here I am making a Christmas card. I was making the ornament that is on the cover of the Mini this weekend and decided to make a card, I just love these ornaments; especially on Whisper White. I should have used Very Vanilla with this DSP - but couldn't resist using the Whisper White - love it. Don't you just love how this looks in Cherry Cobbler ink? It really stands out. I saw this card somewhere, I think on Pinterest, would love to give credit but not sure who to. Have a great day.

Happy Friday my friends!! Hope you have great plans for this weekend, I will be cleaning my stamp room, it is way past time I get in there and figure what I "really" need and what I don't need, which is very difficult for me because I always think I will need everything sometime - and there's the grand kids - won't they just love using these things sometime???? Wheee, I have my work cut out for me. Of course, I will get distracted and take a "break" and end up stamping the rest of the day. Hope you have a great weekend and thanks for stopping by.
