Spooky Pinecone (Yes, that's what I said)

A pinecone and a spider walk in to a bar...Seriously, look how cool this spider is! I have been having an absolute blast using the new Stampin' Up! Christmas Pines bundle (available September 1 from the new holiday catalog) to make all kinds of projects. I came up with this idea early this morning out of necessity. I realized I didn't really own any good Halloween stamps and needed a Halloween card. Unless otherwise noted, all products Stampin' Up!

Check out the stamps and dies from this bundle priced at only $54.75 (plus tax & shipping):

Yes, the body of the spider really is made from the large & small pinecone. I stamped the pinecone image with Versamark ink and embossed with Clear Stampin' Emboss Powder. The head of the spider was selectively edited using the small pinecone die to make the shape work better.

The legs of the spider were made using two each of the bows that come with this set. The antennae was made using a branch of one of the sprig die cuts. The base layer was stamped with speckles from Gorgeous Grunge and Touches of Textures using Tuxedo Black Memento ink and was embossed using the Woodland Embossing folder. The word was stamped using the Labeler Alphabet stamp set. The cardstock colors are Pumpkin Pie, Basic Black and Whisper White. The messy threads are a piece of cheesecloth and a few pieces of the Black Metallic Thread available from Stampin' Up!

In case you haven't seen my other projects using this set for non-holiday purposes, click on the image to take you to the original blog post.

Just remember that you will be able to order this bundle on September 1. I would appreciate it more than you know, if you ordered it from my online store available by clicking on the link below.

(One More) Global Design Project #GDP022: Sketch Challenge

I'm playing along with the Global Design Project challenge (again) this week, which is a sketch challenge. This blog post will be a short one, so please let me know if you have any questions about supplies needed.

As you can see, mine is a loose interpretation of the above sketch. I made this card to give to my Husband for Valentine's Day. I just love the watercolor-y, abstract look of this card!

Don't forget that Saleabration is going on right now! For every $50 worth of products you purchase, (before shipping and tax) you will receive one item from the Occasions catalog. (Click on "catalogs" link above) The products may be chosen from any current catalog, clearance or weekly deals. Please use the hostess code shown in the top right corner when ordering online, unless your order will total $150 before shipping & tax. At that point, you become your own hostess and get all the rewards!

As always, let me know if you have any questions about the project or the products used. Thanks for visiting my blog.

Artfully Yours,

Kim

Pals November Blog Hop: "So Thankful"

Welcome to the Pals November Blog Hop, we’re so thankful you stopped by. This month we’re showcasing projects that feature Stampin’ Up! Thanksgiving and “Thank You” products. We hope you enjoy our creations.

You may just be starting the Blog Hop or you may have come from the previous blog on the Pals Blog Hop listing shown below. The full lineup will help you move along from blog to blog so you can enjoy each and every beautiful project.

This project was pretty simple. I cut a leaf out of watercolor paper using a leaf die from the Stampin' Up! Leaflets Framelits Dies. I watercolored one side of the leaf by using the Pumpkin Pie reinker & water.

I used the smallest width Project Life Journaling Pen to lightly outline the leaf and go around the perimeter of the top layer of the card. Don't be afraid of this technique, it's not supposed to look perfect!

The black wispies are just very thin cardstock that I curled with my bone folder. The splatter was made using a stamp from the Gorgeous Grunge stamp set. The words were embossed with White Stampin' Emboss Powder and are from the Remarkable You stamp set. I doubled up on the Stampin' Dimensionals to really boost the focal point of this card. Supply list is below.

Thanks for visiting. To continue with the hop, please refer to the Blog Hop Line-up below. We hope to see you on next month’s Pals Blog Hop!

I hope you enjoyed this blog hop project. Please use the hostess code shown in the top right corner when ordering online, unless your order will total $150 before shipping & tax. At that point, you become your own hostess and get all the rewards! Please keep in mind if you choose "no contact" from the demonstrator, I'm unable to even send you a thank you note for your order...That's right, I'm not even able to see your name.

As always, let me know if you have any questions about the project or the products used. Thanks for visiting my blog.

Pals Blog Hop: Halloween & Harvest

Welcome to the Pals Blog Hop for October where we are celebrating an early Fall season by sharing Halloween and Autumn projects using our wonderful Stampin’ Up! supplies. We hope you enjoy our creations!

You may just be starting the blog hop or may have come from Jennifer Michalski's Stamping Serenity blog, number 17 on the Pals Hop. If you get off track at any time, the full lineup below will help you move along from blog to blog so you see all the projects.

I have a tip to share. As I was getting ready to make this project, I realized I didn't have any black & orange DSP (designer series paper). However, I did have some black & white DSP from the Go Wild Designer Series Paper Stack, which I brayered with Pumpkin Pie ink to make the paper used on this project. This technique will work with just about any ink color. Don't you just love this Go Wild DSP? The 6x6 size is so easy to work with and perfect for so many projects.

Don't forget to do a bit of stamping on the inside of the card to pull the look together.

The little wispy black pieces are just narrow strips of cardstock I curled with my bone folder. The matching envelope liner really completes the ensemble. Full product list below blog lineup.
