Happy Haunting 2007

Wow, I can't believe I haven't posted since October 27th! November just flew by with our two week family trip to Australia, and then the Christmas rush when we got home. Sorry about that!

Anyway, this is a page that I did for my scrapbook clubs in November and December. The base is Pumpkin Pie which I wheeled with the Batty Jumbo Wheel using Versamark in a blank cartridge. I added some Creepy Crawly Designer Series Paper and Batty for You accents, all mounted on Basic Black card stock. The title is stamped on Basic Black with Whisper White Craf Ink using the Well-Worn Alphabet and the year is Short Order Numbers. I added a Jumbo Eyelet and a bit of Black Gingham in the upper left-hand corner to finish it off.

Happy Stamping!

Batty for You Circle Punch Closure

This card design was popularized at the 2006 Stampin' Up! Convention and is still a favorite of mine. Basically, just take any size card and score the top 1 1/4" in from the edge and fold it back over the front. Then use a 1 1/4" circle punch and punch half way over the fold to create the notch. Attach an image stamped on a 1 1/4" circle layered to a 1 3/8" circle punch to the inside of the card using dimensionals positioned just slightly over the edge of the notch to hold the card closed:

There are so many possibilities with this design. It is easy and fun when you are bored with a "normal" fold card. And, it is a great way to show off all those little images and circular stamps that are so popular now.

For this card I used Batty for You and three designs from the Creepy Crawly Designer Series Paper. The base card is a 4 1/4" by 11" piece of Whisper White folded in half. The only stamping is the little spider in Basic Black. I used the 1 1/4" circle and 1 3/8" circle punches as explained above and some black brads, Black Gingham, and Pumpkin Pie Grosgrain ribbon add a bit of detail.

Happy Stamping!

Batty for You with Basic Gray

Another Spirited card... This is the project my stamp club made last week.

I used five punches on it: the Scallop Circle, the 1-3/8" and 1-1/4" Circles, the Round Tab, and the Spiral. The base card is a 4"x12" piece of Basic Gray Textured card stock folded in half to form a 4"x6" card. Then I added a 1 1/2" strip of Creepy Crawly Designer Series Paper, and a 1/2 strip of Basic Black The ghost is from Batty for You and the "Boo!" is the Rough Edges Alphabet. I also used a large circle Metal Edge Tag behind the focal point, and some Black Gingham, and Pumpkin Pie Grosgrain ribbon, a silver brad, and a regular paper clip to add a bit more detail.

Happy Stamping!
