YNS Halloween Series – Designer Showcase Week

Hello everyone!! This week the design team is showcasing all different types of halloween projects!!  To see my fellow design team members work, head on over to the YNS Blog.

Take a look at my project:

ghost-gift-bag-yns

YNS Supplies: Scallop Topped Treat Bag, Happy Haunting Die Set

Other Supplies: Stampin’ Up! Witches Brew Designer Series Paper, Stampin’ Up! Very Vanilla Cardstock

My daughter and I wanted to make some cute packages for her classmates for Halloween. So we used Your Next Stamp Scallop Topped Treat Bag and cut 25 bags out of some halloween pattern paper.

We scored, folded and taped the paper together to create the bag. Once the bag was put together, we added the candy to it. Then we used the Happy Haunting Die to cut out the ghost from Very Vanilla cardstock.

Each child’s name will be added to the ghost and then adhered to each bag.

Super nice and easy.  All of our halloween treats are ready to go.

Thanks for stopping by!!

Take a look at my card:

thanks-a-bunch-a2z

To create this card:

  1. I cut my card base to an A2 size card (4.25 x 5.5, scored at 5.5).
  2. I trimmed the Fancy Pants Attwell pattern paper to 4 x 5.25 and adhered fun foam to the back of it.
  3. Then adhered it to the card base using Tombow Mono Permanent Adhesive.
  4. After that I used the Mini Misti to stamp the sentiment from the Hero Arts Thanks Stamp and Cut stamp set using Clearsnap Colorbox Archival Wick Ink.
  5. After that I die cut the thanks out of white card stock four times and adhered them together using Tombow Mono Liquid Adhesive. I adhered the stack on top of the pattern paper.

Super, super easy to create.

Hello everyone!!  Yayyy, I love this blog hop featuring new products from Your Next Stamps makes squeal!! LOL!!

This release is super cute!!  Yesterday’s sneak peek was fun.

If you’ve been hopping along, you would have arrived from Isha’s blog and if you’d like to start from the beginning, you can click on over to the linky at the bottom of this post and start at Laura’s blog.

My favorite set from this release is the SpookTacular Halloween Stamp Set! Its down below.

Are you ready for my big reveal?

Take a look at my cards:

Card one:

Spok-tacular Halloween

YNS Supplies: SpookTacular Halloween,  SpookTacular Halloween DiesWoodlands Paper Pack, Stitched Frame Dye Set

Other Supplies: Recollections Heavyweight White Cardstock, Colorbox Black Embossing Powder, Copic Markers, Recollections Heavyweight Black Cardstock,Colorbox Archival Wicked Dye Ink

I haven’t used my Copic Markers in such a long time that I had to pull them out for this card. This little guys are so cute and were begging to be colored.

All I did to create this card was cut a 4×4 base card out of the heavyweight black cardstock. Then I used the stitched frame die set to cut out a frame from the Woodlands paper pack.  After that I stamped the sentiment along the four boarders and embossed it with black embossing powder.  Then I adhered the frame to the card front.  Using some Copic Markers, I colored the two images and then die cut them out.  I adhered them to the card front inside the frame with dimensionals.

Super cute.

Card two:

Lunch box notes (YNS)

YNS Supplies: Kids Activity Planning, Stitched Frame Die, Swirly Pattern Paper

Other Supplies:Recollections Heavyweight White Cardstock, Colorbox Archival Wicked Dye Ink, Tombow Irojiten Tranquil and Vivid Coloring Pencil

For these cute little lunchbox notes, I cut the white heavyweight cardstock to a 3×3 size.  Then I die cut the Swirly patten paper out using the small stitched frame die and adhered it to the front of the card base.  Using the Mini Misti, I stamped different images and sentiments from the Kids Activity Planning set and colored them in using coloring pencils.

Easy does it!!  These notes are for my daughter.  I will put one in her lunchbox everyday.

So, what do you think?

I had so much fun creating these cards to inspire all of you and show you the versatility of the stamp sets! Which one of these items are favorite?  I would love to hear from you!
