Big Shot Pumpkin Scrapbook Page
This is the companion to the pumpkin page. I used more of the swirls, and the rolling hills are cut with the cutting tool from Cast A Spell dsp. And there is the brocade stamp from the "From the Crypt" set.

The pumpkins are made by cutting the cardstock multiple times with the Top Note die. The littlest one is from the matchbox die. The swirls are from another Big Shot die that I've had for a while - I was amazed at how the negitives from the swirls made great pumpkin stems. Oh, that makes me happy.
I really can't remember the last time I ordered a dedicated Halloween stamp set. When I saw the detail in this one - bats, spiders and webs - I had to have it. And I've used it a bunch! The Sweet Treat box has a special sliding door to get to the goods.
Gotta love this guy! He is a blast to make. We will be making this guy as a magnet on October 28th for the Mommy & Me class. Call me to register.
Hey, look, I stamped! Those branches are from the "Bird on a Branch" set, and the "Happy Halloween" is from the "All Holidays" set. This little witch is a bit labor intensive - but worth it.
The scalloped box with a scallop circle on the front and back, Add some feathers. And you've got a great hostess gift for Thanksgiving dinner - just the right size to fill with chocolate.
Are you wondering if I stamp anymore? This guy is made from the Scallop Circle #2 die, and a few punches. The dsp is Autumn Meadows (October's featured dsp).
It's the Big Shot and punches again, add a little marker and some sponging - gotta have glitter (applied with a circle punched a from Sticky Sheet). Don't you love the swirly antlers?
Nope, I just can't stay away from my Big Shot. And when I combine it with punch art, I get giddy! This is a little gift bag - so simple and so stinkin' cute.
I used all the same components, but all on 1 pennant. I think I like this one even better!
This was so fun to make. We used the Cast A Spell dsp. The Pennant Die along with the letters. The spider, Dracula, and Frankenstein are all punch art.
by Lisa R - Cut a strip narrow enough to fit inside the desired tag punch. Slide it into the punch, and through the punch shape until you reach the desired length. When you punch it will only punch the top to the tag shape.
by Me - Ink up your stamp with the lighter of the colors you would like to use. With your stamp still wet, roll the edges onto the darker color. Stamp onto your cardstock.
I also masked the center of the Medallion Stamp, with a post-it punched with the 1 3/4" circle. The "rock 'n rolled" the Gobble, Gobble stamp from the Holiday Mini Catalog.
by Angela H. - Fill a tray with some shaving cream (I like using the lime scented), drop a few drops of ink from your choice of reinkers, use a popcycle stick to swirl the ink into the shaving cream. Lay your cardstock on top, and press into the mix. Lift the cardstock off, and wipe the extra shaving cream off. Allow it to dry, and use as you would any cardstock.
by Kathy B - Lay your stamp rubber side up on your work surface, and tap markers over the surface until the stamp is covered.
Note: Kathy used the back side (unprinted) Soft Suede Polka Dot ribbon, and the textured In Colors cardstock.
by Michelle D - Using your paper trimmer and bone folder, score criss-crossed lines in your card stock. Sponge ink onto the card, taking care not to get ink in the "grout lines".
by LeeAnn L - I looked at this card for about 15 minutes, before I asked LeeAnn what her technique was. Then, I was stunned to learn that this wasn't real torn cardstock!
Tear a piece of paper, and lay over the portion of your cardstock you want to remain the original color. Use your brayer to ink cover the faux layer onto the card. The ink may seem somewhat blotchy at first, but it fades into itself after a few minutes.
by Lisa R - This card is so simple to make and stunning with the Razzleberry color scheme.
by LeeAnn L. - Emboss all over a piece of cardstock, layer about 3 or 4 times, then ink up your stamp with versamark - and press into the heated image.
by Angela H. - When you pull out the flowers, your message is on the dirt. I'll be featuring this technique in the November "Crazy for Cards" class.
by Michelle D. - Popup cards and sliders are a favorite for everyone! This one features the new Build-A-Bear girl, but can easily be translated to a card for anyone. How fun would this be for a Christmas Card with picture???
by Kathy B. - Kathy notes: "Extending color outside the lines will achive a watercolor effect. Also, when coloring, consider starting at the area that would be naturally darker, and work your way to lighter areas. For example; the center of the flower may be darker than the edges of the petals. In this case, begin watercoloring in the center and work your way to the outside.
by Michelle D. - Michelle had her 5 year old color the image, what a fun way to get them stamping!
by Me! - I'm so glad to be done with baby wipes - for their intended purpose anyway. Use reinkers to ink up the edge of a folded wipe, then pull across glossy cardstock until you get your desired effect. If you love this technique, I'd be happy to teach it to you and your friends, email me to schedule your personalized class.
