Are you ready to see one of the Scarecrow’s friends? Yep – yesterday’s scarecrow has a friend already. I made this one for my Happy Haunting Hands On class that I had earlier this month. Here is Frankenstein!
This guy is made from Old Olive card stock – the card base is 3″ wide leaving space for his bolts to stick out the side and still fit in the envelope. The Woodgrain stamp is stamped with Old Olive Ink – this time the planks are 3/4″ x 5-1/2″. His hair is a piece of black card stock and again I used the Tree punch – just the tip – to cut his hair.
Then I needed to add all his parts –
The eyes of course are punched circles – white and BLACK GLIMMER paper! His bolts and his nose are actually from the Boo to You framelits. The bone cut in half created the bolts – I used the Silver Foil for those. The nose is the pumpkin pail with the handle cut off – it makes a funky shaped nose – I did sponge the edges with Old Olive ink and put it on with a Stampin’ Dimensional. His mouth is a strip of black and then another piece that I snipped with the Fringe Scissors so the pieces were all a bit different. Finish with the black marker for some scars on his face.
I hope you like him! I’ve already completed another card for this series and have ideas for several more. I’ll be working on those soon.
Here are all the supplies for Frankenstein. (I’ll go back and add them for the Scarecrow).

At Stampin’ Up! events one of the best parts aside from seeing all our friends and making new ones is the ideas that are shared. This idea was one that was shown on stage this year at convention. I came home and tried this idea and it is super easy – you could whip up a whole stack of these in no time using some great new products from the Stampin’ Up! Holiday catalog.
- Howl-o-ween Treat stamp set & Boo to You Framelits bundle (I LOVE THE BUNDLES!)
- Spider Web Doilies
- Happy Haunting Designer Series Paper
- Basic Black Archival Ink
You’ll also want the Sketched Dots bags and ink from the regular catalog. I used Crushed Curry and Tangelo Twist ink.
To create the bag cut a mask from the cardboard backing from the Designer Paper so that you can cover a section of the bag. Use your ink pad to pull ink across the bag, buff off the excess with a tissue. Move the mask and do the next color.
Stamp and cut your images and then decorate the bag. Fill with something yummy!
Thanks for stopping by today. I’m busy preparing for my Stamp, Scrap & Create Retreat which is this weekend. Lot’s to do – I hope to add some more posts over the next few days but we shall see how much time I have.

A few weeks ago I had my Stamp, Scrap & Create Retreat at my house for the weekend. It was tons of fun and I can’t wait to start planning a spring retreat. One of my favorite projects was this cute trio of holiday boxes made with the Curvy Keepsake Die. There is one for Halloween, one for Thanksgiving and one for Christmas.
I really love this die! It is so easy to assemble these little boxes and you just need some adhesive to attach the two pieces together – I used Fast Fuse. The little boxes are fun to decorate and there are already tons of ideas out there. Here is a photo of some of the girls working on their boxes during the retreat –
The Halloween box is fun – made from clear window sheets with a little tea light inside and a ghost hanging on the handle.
The Thanksgiving box is a fun little pumpkin. I used the lines from the Gorgeous Grunge stamp set to create the lines that would be grooves on a pumpkin. And then we added leaves – stamped, die cut ones and a wood one.
The “boo to you” and “thankful” stamps are from the Good Greetings stamp set which a special hostess stamp set that you can earn through the end of October. It has lots of fun little greetings in it for the holidays. You need a $300 workshop/party to get this set for free!
And the Christmas one – or even just a winter holiday one – is just so pretty with the Lost Lagoon and silver. And the cute little snowflake charm is a fun accent.
and here is one more picture of it so you can see the silver snowflakes stamped on two sides of the box.
I hope you like these little projects. Here is a list of all the supplies that were used:

I actually wrote a post a couple of days ago for my blog – and for some reason it has disappeared. Sigh. Weird things happening perhaps it’s time for a new laptop. So instead of that post here is a different one – I’ll have to recreate the missing one.
I saw a cute card on Tessa Wise’s blog and decided to recreate it using all Stampin’ Up! products including the September Paper Pumpkin kit. It was the Halloween Boo kit with some great stamps for cards as well as the tags in the box.
Here are some details on the card:
- Card base is Sahara Sand – the front is embossed with the large polka dots Embossing Folder and stamped with the small splatter dots from Gorgeous Grunge stamp set
- I layered on some pieces from the Motely Crew Designer Series Paper. Largest piece has rounded corners. The small strip is flagged at one end.
- Stamp the Happy Halloween from the Paper Pumpkin kit on the larger strip and some of the bats on the largest piece.
- I cut a ghost shape out using the Fall Fest framelits – stamped on eyes and mouth and sponged the edges all with Sahara Sand ink. Attach with Stampin’ Dimensionals
- Tie some Bermuda Bay Bakers Twine around the largest designer paper piece.
I hope you like it. Here is another view.
