Halloween and Fall Theme Blog Hop

Welcome to the Team Stamp It Group Halloween Theme Blog Hop.

Whether you started the blog hop with my blog or "hopped" over to my blog from one of my teammates blog, I am happy you stopped by.
It's hard to believe that September is almost over and Halloween is almost here.  The days are getting shorter and the nights are getting cooler.

I had so much fun in June making the 4th of July shadow box that I decided
for this "hop" I would make a Halloween shadow box using the
Toil and Trouble Suite.
If you have not checked out the Toil and Trouble Suite you really need to.

Using the Cauldron Bubbles Stamp set with the coordinating Cauldron Framelits dies and the Toil and Trouble Designer Series Paper made making this shadow box especially quick and easy.

The spider web is one of the dies in the set, as well as, the spider trinket.

The witches hat is one of the Cauldron Framelits dies.

All of the background paper is from the Toil and Trouble Designer Series Paper.

The background paper for the shadow box base and for this square is called Gorgeous Grape and is available as a single color cardstock pack or as part of the Toil and Trouble cardstock pack. The Toil and Trouble cardstock pack comes with a total of four colors of cardstock that coordinate with the
Toil and Trouble Suite.

Both the cauldron and the cat are framelit dies that are included in the set and coordinate perfectly with the Toil and Trouble Designer Series Paper.

The bats were cut out using the Spooky Bats punch. These bats were punched out of Black foil sheets, however, this punch matches perfectly with the bat paper in the Toil and Trouble Designer Series Paper pack.

The witch and her broom are part of the coordinating Cauldron framelits dies and matching Designer Series Paper.

Fall Theme Blog Hop

Welcome to the Team Stamp It Group Fall Theme Blog Hop.

Whether you started the blog hop with my blog or "hopped" over to my blog from one of my teammates blog, I am happy you stopped by.
For this "hop", I had a hard time deciding which card to feature, so I am sharing both with you.
My first card was made using items featured in the new Country Lane Suite.
I absolutely love this suite, it is one of the many new stamp sets that are featured in the new 2018 Holiday Catalog.

Attached to the Whisper White card base is a Blackberry Bliss and a Crushed Curry cardstock panel. The next panel layer was made using Galvanized Metallic Paper and the Tin Tile Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing folder. Both of these items are new and featured with the Country Lane Suite.

The next layer is a piece of Whisper White cardstock overlaid with the new Chicken Wire Element.

The autumn flowers were colored with Stampin' Blends and fussy cut out, as was the milk can. The flowers were then nested on top of the milk can. The milk can and flowers were slightly curled using the edge of a bone folder and then adhered onto the card front using dimensionals.

The label on the milk can was made using Crushed Curry cardstock and the "Thanks" and oval label stamps from the Country Home stamp set. The label was adhered to the milk can using two mini dimensionals. The bow was made using the 3/16" Braided Linen Trim that was frayed slightly on the ends and was attached to the milk carton with a mini glue dot.

For complete instructions on how to make this card, click here.

The next card features the Nature's Poem Designer Series Paper that is from the Nature's Poem Suite featured in the 2018-2019 Annual catalog.

The Nature's Poem Designer Series Paper was attached to a Tranquil Tide card base.

The Mint Macaron leaves were cut out and embossed using the Big Shot and the Foliage Frame framelit dies.

The Blackberry Bliss string is made from unwinding a strand of Blackberry Bliss Nature's Twine and wrapping it around on the back of the Mint Macaron leaves.

The sentiment is from the Love What You Do photopolymer stamp set and is stamped onto Petal Pink cardstock with Blackberry Bliss ink.
