Halloween Spooky Cat on a Spooky Night from Stampin' Up!

Spooky Night Card 


I had quite a few swaps with other demos that I've been working on, so I'll have lots of new cards to show you using the Holiday catalog products over the next few weeks.  I'm still having so much fun with the Spooky Cat stamp set and coordinating Cat punch.  I know I'll be using this set long after Halloween.  Today I'm using the Spooky Cat stamp set with the coordinating  Spooky Night Designer Series Paper (DSP) to create a fun Halloween card that you'll enjoy sending to family and friends.       

  



The stamp set includes a cat, but I punched the cat out of one of the DSP using the new Cat punch.  You'll love the convenience of having a sheets full of perfect cats in Basic Black or Pumpkin Pie.  Or use your Cat Punch to  Punch cats in any color.  The Spooky Cat stamp set includes cat eyes and nose to finish any cat colors you decide to punch.


Spooky Night Designer Series Paper


The base card for my card is Basic Black cardstock, then a layer of Very Vanilla and another layer of Pumpkin Pie.  I ran the Pumpkin Pie layer through the Layered Leaves 3D Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.  The tag is made from one of the Spooky Night DSP.   

For the Image Layer, I punch a circle using the Stitched Framelit die and I cut a hearth using the Hearth and Home Thinlit set.  I stamped a rat from the Spooky Nights set along with the Halloween sentiment from that set.  I always choose Basic Black Archival Stampin' Pad when I stamp black images.  The ink isn't as fast drying as our Classic pads, but the Archival Black pad gives solid coverage and clean details.  Note that the eye of the rat can be seen, unlike other inks that will bleed slightly.  I love our Black Archival ink pad and reinkers.



Rat and a Cat



The image block also includes three of the new Black Rhinestone Jewels from the new Holiday catalog that you'll want to get.  These new jewels will work wonderfully not only for your Halloween projects, but also compliment all of the new black and white designer series papers, and Basic Black and Old Olive Designer Series Papers in the new Holiday Catalog.   



Spooky Cat cards ready for swaps


Think of how much it would brighten some one's day if they were to receive this handmade card and the cute treat box from my previous post as a Halloween hello.   The Spooky Cat stamp set and Cat punch can be purchased as a bundle for a 10% savings.

Favorites from Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalog 


I'm so excited to share the new Holiday catalog with you today.  Demonstrators have been able to order from the catalog since August 1, and today customers can begin ordering from the new catalog.  My customers recently received their copy of the catalog. Today, you can download a copy of the Holiday catalog here

I want to share some of the wonderful projects from the catalog with you.  

This is  the new Merry Little Christmas Suite, which I've shown you in earlier posts on my blog    


  

The catalog has a number of samples on page 10 with this wonderful suite.  

I cased the catalog and here's my version of the card.  I used the 3/8" Basic Black Shimmer ribbon to create the bow at the top of the card.

12" X 12" Merry Little Christmas Designer Series Pape

In addition to cards, this suite is perfect for packaging and tags.

Snowflake Sentiments set from Holiday Catalog 


Snowflake Sentiments


The Snowflake Sentiments stamp set and coordinating dies create this wonderful holiday card and sweet little package.  If snowflakes capture your imagination, this set will capture you!    

Check out the Snowflake Sentiment video showing samples you can create with this bundle.  Also, purchase the stamp set and coordinating dies together as a bundle and save 10%.  See this bundle on page 35 of the catalog.





Hearts Come Home 


You will love all of the new items in the Holiday Catalog, and you will find it really hard to choose which ones you need to order.  One of the first sets I ordered was the Hearts Come Home set.


The stamp set creates wonderful scenes for not only Christmas, but other holidays such as Halloween with black spooky houses, or everyday neighborhood scened.  With so many homes lost in the recent Houston area floods, I'm sure I'll be using this set a lot to express my sorrow to friends who lost homes, churches, businesses and schools in this momentous flood.  

Watch this video for more ideas for using this wonderful bundle that's available at a 10% savings when purchased together. 






 
Here's a sample showing a beautiful project you can create with this set.
