We Create Blog Hop - Haunts & Harvests

Welcome to the OCTOBER 2023 "Haunts & Harvests" Blog Hop!!! We generally hop on the first day of every month, and this month our theme will focus on projects that have to do Halloween, Harvests, Fall, or whatever the blogger deems fitting! My projects today feature the Tricks & Treats Stamp Set and coordinating Tricks & Treats Dies (which you can get in a BUNDLE for a 10% Discount!).

I love Halloween, but for some reason - maybe the change in weather - my trigeminal neuralgia often starts acting up around this time of year. I can be fine all day, then it can act up at night and mess up my sleep...which is one of the biggest triggers for it getting worse. So, that's been happening the last little while, and I haven't been stamping much. The card above was supposed to be for a swap, but I wasn't able to get all the cards finished for them to be swapped out. I offered to do a one-on-one to send them individually but I guess no one wanted to share their address with me...? *sigh*

I wanted to use the Them Bones 12x12 Designer Series Paper on the card, but I wanted to only use a 4" piece since that goes evenly into 12. So, I staggered that little 4" strip (light grey with white bones) across the bottom, over a piece of Basic Black Cardstock. I lined up the patterned paper with the left side of the card, and the cardstock with the right side.

I used the Loose Silver Sequins in 3 places on the card, and the silver spool from the Simply Elegant Trim to tie around the bottom. The sequins and the trim were colored with the Starry Sky Stampin' Blends Combo Pack to match the strip of Starry Sky Cardstock that I stamped with bats and then embossed using one of the Cheery Patterns Embossing Folders. There are several pieces to this card, and I did use 7 different colors of cardstock, but it's really easy to put together. You can see the stamp set below, and then the die set after that, to see which images from the set can be cut out with dies.

Tricks & Treats Stamp Set

Tricks & Treats Dies

The coordinating dies include shapes to cut around some of the stamp images, but also have a few extra dies to make a really cute bag, plus a unique-looking label, a little tag, a ghost, and candy corn!
