Bewitching Slimline Card

Hello and Happy Halloween! Today’s card features the Bewitching stamp set and coordinating Witches Hat Builder Punch. This is another one of the cards we made in my recent Halloween Card class and everyone loved making it! Sadly, the punch proved to be so popular that it is no longer available.

Here is how I made the card.

  • Card base: Cut a piece of Gorgeous Grape cardstock at 7″ x 8 1/2″, score at 3 1/2″, fold and crease with a bone folder.
  • Cut a piece of the Black & White Designs Designer Series Paper with the diamonds at 3 1/4″ x 8 1/4″ and adhere to card front.
  • Cut three pieces of Basic Black cardstock at 3″ square and run them through a die cutting machine with the 3rd largest circle in the larger set of Layering Circles Dies. Adhere to card front as pictured.
  • Cut three pieces of Basic White cardstock at 2 1/2″ and run through a die cutting machine with the 3rd largest circle in the smaller set of Layering Circles Dies. Stamp the spiderweb from the Bewitching stamp set on one of the circles. Adhere the circles to the Basic Black circles.
  • On a scrap piece of Basic White cardstock stamp the spiderweb hat with Memento Black ink, color the spiderweb with Parakeet Party Stampin’ Blends and Basic Black Stampin’ Blends for the rest of the hat. Punch out the hat with the Witches Hat Builder Punch. Cut a scrap piece of Parakeet Party Glimmer Paper from the 2022-2024 In Color paper and punch out the hatband from the punch. Adhere to hat. Adhere hat to circle with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • On a scrap piece of Basic White cardstock, stamp the hat with the polka dots with Pumpkin Pie ink. Color in the dots with a Gorgeous Grape Stampin’ Write marker. Color hatband with Basic Black Stampin’ Blends. Punch out hat and adhere to Basic White circle with Stamin’ Dimensionals.
  • On a scrap piece of Basic White cardstock, stamp hat with buckle with Gorgeous Grape ink. Color buckle with Parakeet Party Stampin’ Blends. Punch out hat and adhere to Basic White Circle with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Punch out the stars from the hat punch with a scrap piece of Basic Black cardstock. I used a piece of retired Black Glimmer Paper for some extra bling. Adhere with either Mini Glue Dots or liquid glue.
  • Stamp greeting with Memento Black ink on a scrap piece of Parakeet Party cardstock and run through die cutting machine with the label die from the Scary Silhouettes Dies. Adhere to circle with the Pumpkin Pie hat.
  • Cut a piece of Basic White cardstock at 3 1/4″ x 8 1/4″. Stamp spider and spiderweb with Memento Black ink. Stamp greeting with Gorgeous Grape ink. I used greetings for the front and inside of the card that are from retired Halloween stamp sets. The spiderweb is also from a retired set. I like to hold onto some of my favorite retired holiday stamp sets because they have some favorite images that I like to bring out from year to year to use on my personal cards.

Wishing you a frightfully, delightful Halloween!

Whale Done-Kylie’s Training Blog Hop

Hello! Welcome to Kylie Bertucci’s Demonstrator Training Blog Hop for September. I’m part of a group of Stampin’ Up! demonstrators from around the world that participate in Kylie’s program for building our businesses. Please be sure to click on the names in the list at the end of this post to hop around and view the beautiful projects posted by so many talented stampers.

Today’s card features products from the Whale of a Time suite. This is one of the cards we will be making in my September Class to Go. As a Pisces, I was immediately attracted to the beautiful ocean life in the DSP and the bright color palette! Slimline cards are all the rage these days, so I decided to give it a go.

Here’s how I made the card.

  • Card base – cut piece of Pool Party cardstock at 7″ x 8 1/2″, score at 3 1/2″, fold and crease with a bone folder.
  • Cut piece of Whisper White cardstock at 3 1/2″ x 8 1/4″ and adhere to card front.
  • Cut piece of Granny Apple Green cardstock at 3 1/8″ x 8 1/8″. Cut piece of Pool Party Sheer ribbon and tie in a knot at right side of cardstock. Adhere to card front.
  • Cut out three different prints from the DSP at 2 1/2″ x 3″.
  • Stamp greeting with Blackberry Bliss ink on scrap piece of Whisper White cardstock. Die cut with the smallest of the narrower dies from the Stitched Rectangular dies.
  • Select a sheet of DSP with whale images and punch out one of the larger images that fits the Whale Builder Punch.
  • I wanted to use papers that all had Pool Party in them in order to tie everything together and thought the the top portion of the DSP I used for the middle piece would work well for the piece on the left. I added texture to the piece by running it through the Seabed 3D embossing folder.
  • Assemble the card front by adhering each of the three pieces of DSP, spacing them evenly across the Granny Apple cardstock layer.
  • Adhere die cut greeting at bottom of the embossed piece. Adhere whale. You can pop it up with dimensionals if you wish. On the center piece of DSP I added two small strips of tear and tape and dumped a bunch of the Whale of a Time sequins on top of them until I had enough sequins sticking to the paper. I used the Pick it Tool to help move the sequins around. I got this great tip from one of Patty Bennett’s blog posts.
  • Cut piece of Whisper White cardstock at 3 1/2″ x 8 1/4″. Stamp the turtle and sea horse images with Just Jade ink. I stamped off a few of the images. Adhere to inside of card.
