A few strips of Designer Series Paper, Black Glimmer Paper, the Have a Hoot stamp set, Peek-a-Hoot Dies and the awesome newly released Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine — all from Stampin’ Up! — go into the making of this fun Halloween card.
It all started out with two strips (3/4″ x 4-1/2″ of Plaid Tidings 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper and two strips (3/4″ x 5″) of Black Glimmer Paper. Â And it developed from there. Â I knew I wanted to use the masked bandito owl image.
Here are the supplies I ended up using:Â

Tips for putting it all together:
Card Stock:
- Gorgeous Grape: 8-1/2″ x 11″, scored at 4-1/4″ and folded, creating your card front
- Basic Black: 5-1/4″ x 4″ – run through Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine using the Woodland Embossing Folder.
- Scrap: Â die cut three spider webs using the Peek-a-Hoot dies.
- Whisper White: Â 5″ x 3-3/4″ for inside of card;
- Using Memento Black ink, stamp the pumpkin image and color with Stampin’ Blends.
- Attach to the inside of the card using Stampin’ Seal Adhesive*.
- Whisper White scrap: approximately 2-1/2″ square
- Using Memento Black ink, stamp the ‘bandito’ image and color with Stampin’ Blends
- Die cut the stamped image using the appropriate size square from the Stitched Shapes Dies.
- Stamp an extra little crescent moon, color with blends and use Peek-a-Hoot dies to cut it out;Â attach to square die cut layer with small piece of Dimensional.
- Using Memento Black ink, stamp the word BOO above the bandito.
- Attach the spider webs using Multipurpose Liquid Glue (aka ‘green glue’) that’s been carefully dotted here and there on the back side.
- Affix an Iridescent Pearl to each spider web. Â I use tweezers to carefully slide the pearl from the packaging so the glue remains solidly attached to the bottom of the pearl.
* TIP: Â If your Stampin’ Seal doesn’t come out as it should, give the tip of the roll a push upward with your index finger and it’ll work again. Â It’s an inherent issue with some of the containers. Â Yes, sometimes you have to do it more than once!
Coming soon: Â a Christmas card using many of these same products in a totally different way. Â But in the meantime, I have a craft display to finish for tomorrow (Saturday, September 12th) and I have to gather my wits and my products to take them out to the car.
