Potions & Spells Shadow Box

October 2, 2024

It’s October!! That means Halloween will soon be here, and what better way to use your stamps than by creating your own Potions & Spells Shadow Box. We made this project in class last month.

Potions & Spells Bundle

This is such a fun bundle. I’ve used it for several cards, corner bookmarks and the wall decor I’m showing you today. We used both the stamps and dies for this project. It’s not in any catalog, but you’ll find this bundle along with many other products on my shopping site under the Online Exclusives tab.

We also used the moon from the Under the Moon stamp set which can be found on page 88 in the Annual Catalog.

Five Ways to Use Washi Tape

September 5, 2022

I hope you’ll enjoy these Five Ways to Use Washi Tape generously shared with us by Kivonne.

Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. I love the colors, costumes, and giving out candy to the trick and treaters. I am so excited about Stampin’ Up!’s Glitter Washi Tape! Glitter Washi Tape is found on page 57 in the July-December Mini Catalog. It’s been a while since we have had this product and I wanted to show you some different ways to create cards with this beautiful glittery washi tape.

Glitter Washi Tape

Five Ways to Use Washi Tape to Create Halloween Cards

Punch

Take a small piece of 3×3 thick basic white card stock.
Add the glitter washi tape to the cardstock at an angle. I use my silicone craft pad to help me out.
Once you finish taping your cardstock, cut off all the overhang of washi tape.
Put the cover basic white into the Witch Hat Builder Punch. Punch out the witch’s hat.
Assemble the card

Yes, my witch’s hat moves. It’s attached with a small wobble (non-Stampin’ Up). Remember to decorate the inside of the card and your envelope

Die Cut

Do the same steps as above but put the washi tape on the basic white card stock in a straight line.
Use the Stampin’ emboss & cut machine to die cut your image.
Assemble the card

On DSP

I wanted straight lines as a background for the DSP (Designer Series Paper). (You can also use washi in diagonal lines). Cut off the overhang.
Assemble card

Frame

3 ½” x 4 ¼” piece of Basic White
Take the glitter purple washi tape and make a frame around the end of the cardstock.
Assemble the card

Background

Took a piece of Black & White Designs DSP and added glitter washi tape
Cut off the overlap.
Assemble the card

I hope you’ve enjoyed these projects and the different ways to use Washi Tape. I also hope you’ll be inspired to create your own projects with this beautiful glittery tape!
