This week’s Create with Connie and Mary Saturday blog hop theme is “Spooky Halloween”. Although Stampin’ Up! doesn’t seem to carry really SPOOKY type stamp sets, I think ghosts are spooky in nature…even if they are cute like this one! I always loved watching Casper the Friendly Ghost cartoon (who else remembers that show?)
SWEETS & TREATS meets FRIGHTFULLY CUTE
Stampin’ Details:
- The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Basic Black cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded.
- The 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Smoky Slate cardstock was stamped with the spider from Frightfully Cute Stamp Set in the upper left corner.
- The spider web was cut from Black Glitter Paper with the Frightful Tags Dies and added towards the right side.
- Two pieces of Cute Halloween DSP were added across the front. The “boo” pattern is 1 x 5, cut with a flag end; the stripe is 3/8 x 4-1/4, cut with an angled end.
- The “ghost” is the cover from the Sweets & Treats stamp set, stamped in Memento Black Ink on Basic White and hand-cut and added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Two 3/8″ eyes were cut from Basic Black cardstock and highlighted with the White Chalk Pen.
- Frightfully Cute greeting was stamped with Memento Black Ink on Pumpkin Pie cardstock, then cut with the Frightful Tags Dies, then added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
