Happy Halloween

I really like the subtle Halloween prints in the Them Bones Designer Series Paper (DSP) pack and this layout of haphazardly layered DSP strips and a simple pumpkin layered on the sentiment. There is a new Black and Very Vanilla Large Check ribbon coming out in the new mini catalog, but with white cardstock on my card, I opted for the original Black & White gingham ribbon.

  3. Round the corners of the 5 ¼” h x 4 ¼” w Basic Black cardstock. I used an old corner rounder punch to snip the edges. If you don’t have a corner rounder, you can trace the edge of any circular object and trim with your Paper Snips.

  9. Stamp the pumpkin in Pumpkin Pie ink and the Jack O’Lantern face in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink onto the Basic White scrap. Stamp the stem in Crumb Cake. Use the Pick of the Patch Builder punch to punch out the pumpkin and stem.  Use a Mini Glue Dot to attach the stem to the pumpkin. 
  10. Attach the pumpkin to the sentiment panel. 
  11. Attach the Pumpkin Pie panel to the DSP strips with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
