Halloween Duo with Cutest Halloween and Clever Cats

It’s time for another Freshly Brewed Projects Blog Hop, and today we’re focusing on Halloween! I’m giving you a “twofer” today with a Halloween Duo.

Cutest Halloween Peekaboo

I used the Cutest Halloween bundle to make this Hey Boo! Peekaboo card. I cut all those circles with a single pass through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss machine using the circles die from the Picture This Dies Set.

I cut the circles from a piece of Gorgeous Grape cardstock. Laying this piece onto a white panel, I marked where the holes were with pencil, so I’d know exactly where to stamp.. When I finished stamping, I erased the pencil marks. I used the Pumpkin Pie and Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Write markers to color the candy corn.

I embossed the Grape panel with the Brick & Mortar Embossing Folder, then popped this panel over the stamped panel using Dimensionals. Next, I layered this onto Basic Black CS, then onto a Granny Apple Green card base. Finally, I stamped and punched the ghost from a Basic White scrap and added it with Dimensionals.

Details:

I cut a small tag using the Tailored Tags Dies set and a scrap of Basic White cardstock. Then, I used a small piece of Black Glittered Organdy Ribbon to tie onto the hole in the tag. Finally, the tag is placed on the card with Dimensionals.

The Best Part!!

Remember all those circles I cut out of my Hey Boo card? They are used in this Clever Cats card!

I saved the largest circle for the greeting. I adhered the rest of the circles randomly around the edges of a black 3 3/4″ x 3 3/4″ panel. Then, I flipped the panel over and cut off any excess, as I had the circles glued beyond the edges. I stamped bats on a couple of the smaller circles.

The black panel was adhered to a Granny Apple Green panel. BUT, BEFORE I did this, I cut the scalloped circle from the Granny Apple Green panel in the area that would be covered by the black panel. This is a great way to save cardstock!

I cut a piece of paper from the Pattern Party Host DSP pack to adhere below the black panel and a piece of Black Glittered Organdy Ribbon was placed across the “seam” where these pieces meet. This was mounted onto a Gorgeous Grape card base.

Details:

I stamped the cat on a white circle with Memento Tuxedo Black, and colored the eyes with the Granny Apple Green Blends.

The broom is stamped with Smoky Slate on a Basic White scrap, and then fussy cut. I used a craft knife to cut slits on either side of the tail, slipped the broom handle through, and glued it to the circle. Then, I mounted it onto the Granny Apple Green scalloped circle and adhered with Dimensionals.

Using the largest Gorgeous Grape circle, I stamped the greeting in Memento Tuxedo Black and adhered with Dimensionals to finish the card.

Sweet As A Peach Sweet Treat

I am fortunate to live in Kentucky, where we have several orchards within an hour’s drive. Each year in the early summer, we drive down to one of the orchards and pick up several boxes of peaches for my husband’s family. They are so sweet and juicy, and everyone wants a box of their own. I think the peaches make wonderful gifts, and the recipients seem to think so, too.

The Details

I cut the base tag from a piece of Balmy Blue using the Tailor Made Tags Dies. I cut a piece of white to 1 7/8″ x 2″, and a piece of Calypso Coral to 2″ x 2 1/2″

The bottom of the Calypso Coral piece is cut with the smallest scalloped die from the Scalloped Contours Dies. You’ll need to be careful with this, as you only want to cut the edge, so you’ll only run it through far enough to make that cut. If you run it all the way through your cutting machine, you’ll end up cutting your calypso coral piece in half. If you forget and do that, it’s ok! When you adhere it to the balmy blue tag it will be covered up by the white anyway.

Stamp the white square with the peach leaves in Pear Pizzazz. The three small peaches fit perfectly between the leaves, and are stamped in Pale Papaya.

Stamp the stem with leaves in Pear Pizzazz and the large peach on a scrap. I inked the peach with Pale Papaya, then used a dauber to add Calypso Coral in some areas before stamping. The stem/leaves and peach are cut with the coordinating Peach Dies.

Stamp the “You’re as” at the very top left of the Calypso Coral piece, and “sweet as a peach” on the die cut peach in Early Espresso.

Assemble by adhering the Calypso Coral layer to the tag, then the white square, and finish by adding the peach and stem/leaves with dimensionals.

Use ribbon to tie the tag to a printed cellophane bag.
