CSF Saturday Blog Hop – Halloween Magic

It’s Saturday and time for our Create with Stamping Friends Blog Hop.  We will be sharing a little Halloween Magic this week!

CAKE CELEBRATIONS

I thought it would be fun to create a Halloween card from a non-Halloween stamp set!  Cake Celebrations is one of the new Online Exclusives that is available for demos to preorder this month (customers beginning Nov. 2!)  Can you tell what I used for the little spider webs?  It is an image in the stamp set!

Stampin’ Details:

• The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Pumpkin Pie cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
• The 4 x 5-1/4 layer of purple polka-dot Halloween Spells DSP was added on top.
• The 1 x 4 black and white stripe from Halloween Spells DSP was colored with the Dark Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blends and added to the bottom of the DSP.
• The 2-1/4 x 3-3/4 Everyday Details Die was cut from Basic White cardstock and layered on a 2-1/2 x 4 piece of Basic Black cardstock.  It was added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
• The two cake stand pieces were cut from Smoky Slate cardstock with the Cake Celebrations Dies and adhered together.  The cakes were cut from Pumpkin Pie cardstock and the drips and frosting from Basic Black cardstock.
• The Pumpkin Pie cakes were stamped with the larger Sparkle image in Cake Celebrations with Memento Black Ink and then the Basic Black Marker used to create the loops on the spider webs.
• The finished cakes were added to the cake stand on the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
• One of the frosting bands was used for the signpost coming out of the top of the cake.
• Boo from Playful Ghosts stamp set was stamped with Memento Black Ink on scrap Pumpkin Pie cardstock and added to the sign.
• The Cake Celebrations trio of flowers were stamped with Gorgeous Grape Ink and the leaves with Memento Black Ink on Basic White cardstock then cut with the Dies and added to the cake with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.
• The “bat” in the corner is the holly die from Reindeer Fun Dies cut from Basic Black cardstock and tucked under the corner.
• A trio of orange Adhesive Backed Dappled Dots were added to the center of the flowers.

 

Isn’t that a fun twist on this cake stamp set? It’s magic!  OK, next up on our blog hop is our Create with Stamping Friends website, then on to creative Debbie Henderson, or head backwards to see Melissa Davies’ fabulous project and see what everyone did with this challenge!
