F un Halloween card using Stampin' Up! products.
Project Recipe
Cut cardstock and glow-in-the-dark specialty paper pieces to the following sizes using a Paper Trimmer:
- card from Parakeet Party Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/4" from Orchid Oasis Cardstock
- 2-1/4" square from Parakeet Party
- 1-3/4" x 2-1/4" from Glow-In-The-Dark 6" x 6" Specialty Paper
- 1-3/4" x 2" from Glow-In-The-Dark 6" x 6" Specialty Paper
As you are ready to stamp using the Tricks & Treats Set, place the specialty paper on the Stampin' Pierce Mat. Using the mat will help you get a cleaner image each time you stamp. Put a piece of Grid Paper on top of the Mat to protect it from ink.
Pick out the open dracula head die from the Tricks & Treats Dies. Put it on top of the large glow-in-the-dark rectangle on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Run through the machine.
Mount the dracula hair image and dracula face image from the Tricks & Treats Set together on Block C so the hair and face are centered. Ink them up with the Orchid Oasis Ink Pad. Stamp it on the dracula face cut out so the hair is as close as possible to the top edge. Set aside to allow to dry.
Mount the "trick or treat" sentiment from the Tricks & Treats Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Orchid Oasis Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the remaining glow-in-the-dark rectangle. Set aside to allow to dry.
Insert the Orchid Oasis rectangle into the crosshatched folder included with the Basics 3D Embossing Folders. Use the line printed on the front flap of the folder to make sure it is lined up straight. Place the folder with the cardstock inside on the platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine and run through the machine.
Adhere the dry embossed Orchid Oasis rectangle to the front of the Parakeet Party card.
Pick out the stitched square die that cuts out a 2" square from the Stylish Shapes Dies. Put it on top of the Parakeet Party square on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Run through the machine.
Use Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the dracula face cut out to the center of the Parakeet Party square cut out so the square is a diamond.
Adhere the diamond with dracula face attached to the front of the card so it is centered on the left side of the horizontal card as shown.
Use Paper Snips Scissors to cut apart the words in the "trick or treat" sentiment.
Use Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the words "trick" and "treat" at slight angles as shown. Use Multipurpose Liquid Glue or Fine-Tip Glue Pen to adhere the "or" word at a slight angle as shown between the other two words.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up 3 glow-in-the-dark bats from the sheet of Glow-In-The-Dark Bats & Ghosts making sure that you get the adhesive backings as well. Adhere them randomly to the front of the card.
