I promised I'd share a project and here it is. My granddaughter loves Wrigley's 5 Zing gum so I thought I'd wrap it up in a Halloween costume. I used Basic Grey eerie collection. The wrapper is 3 x 6", scored at 3/4, 1-1/4, 3-3/4, 4-1/4. Adhere on the back. The pull-out is 2-1/2 x 5-1/2, scored at 3-3/4 and 4-1/4. The inside edges (second picture) are tapered so it slides in and out easier. The belly band is 1 x 6, adhered in the back. I used a 1-3/8 circle punch with the designer paper, 1-7/16-green; and the scallop circle punch (black) from Stampin' Up! The boo stamp I found at Michael's once upon a time. I sponged Ranger distress ink (crushed olive) for color. I thought the wiggly eyes was a nice touch (a little texture humor). Hope you enjoy this as much as I know my granddaughter will.

I'm excited because I won the Our Craft Lounge September Sketch Challenge. I get to choose a stamp set of my choice from Our Craft Lounge and they have some really cute ones. You just can't beat free. It's the first challenge I've ever entered so I'm encouraged to enter more. There are so many beautiful cards that can be seen in all the challenges.

That's all from To Stamp with Love for now: follow your passion and the universe will take care of the rest.

Boo to You!

Happy Halloween....It's a witchy time of the year. I saw this Shadow Box Card on Dawn's Stamping Thoughts. She featured a Christmas theme and I decided to change it up and make it spooky. I got the witch stamp set a long time ago, Best Witches, from Eat Cake Graphics (the other stamp is a witch flying into a tree; sentiment "Don't drink and fly"...just love it!). The papers are Basic Grey's eerie collection. The spider web and spider are from Memory Box, "Web Crawler." I embossed this image in white on velum and stamped the spider with Memento ink. I used brads to hold the velum in place. I used copic markers to color and just cut around the image with scissors. The Boo stamp was one I got at Michael's for $1.00...thought the google eyes would be cute. I have another Halloween project to share later.

I love the word books. I used s.e.i "Black Orchid" papers and some of the matching embellishments. After a road trip this summer, this book will be filled with memories. I had so much fun working on this. I think the papers inspired me. I just love them.
