Spooky Syringe Pen Treat Card

When I saw a fellow demonstrator use one of these pens on her cute project I knew I had to have some.  I got mine on eBay but I've seen them on Amazon as well.  Mine write in black, but some write in red.  These would make cute gift for a doctor or nurse.

The pen holder was made by cutting a piece of Whisper White Card Stock 2" x 6 1/4".  I scored at 1 1/2,  2 1/4, and 3", and punched a 1/2" circle in the ledge which is where the pen will be held – hopefully the pictures will tell the story.

I didn't want stamping on the ledge so I folded the pieces with the holes to the back while I stamped the drip in Real Red (it is my favorite stamp in the Ghoulish Grunge set)– again I hope the picture explains adequately.  Clearly this would be easier to show in a video and I may get to that soon.

I stamped the drip from Gorgeous Grunge in Real Red on the bottom of the white panel and again in the corner of the card base.  The splat behind trick or treat is also from Gorgeous Grunge. I just got the Labeler Alphabet and used  it to stamp the letters for "Trick or Treat" in Tuxedo Black on a scrap of Whisper White card stock.  That set is going to be fun – this is the first, but certainly not the last, time I've used it.  Makes me want to dig out my old Dymo label maker!  Remember those?

The card base is Whisper White Thick – you'll want the thickness to help support the weight of the pen.  This card fits snugly into the clear envelopes. Those clear envelopes CAN be mailed and you get 50 for $5.00.  I won't mail these, they will be handed out in person!

I hope I've inspired you to start creating!  I'd love you to choose me as your demonstrator and order your Stampin' Up! supplies from my store.  When you order be sure to use the October Host Code 7ZKGME4F  when your order is $149 or less.

Thanks for stopping by my blog!

Spooky Halloween Jar of Haunts Card

The Halloween set Jar of Haunts has been begging to be used.  The floating eyeballs are my favorite element and the Ghoulish Grunge set is a perfect compliment. Both are in the new Holiday Catalog.

The brick element from Ghoulish Grunge was stamped repeatedly in Sahara Sand onto Very Vanilla Card Stock.  I stamped the cheesecloth in Versamark and embossed it with Whisper White Embossing Powder then I grunged the layer up with a Sponge Dauber and Soft Suede Ink.  The drip is stamped in Cherry Cobbler. The jar and eyeballs were stamped with Jet Black Stazon onto Window Sheets.

To ground the jar so it isn't just floating on the page I added a trimmed piece of 5/8" Burlap Ribbon and some Black Bakers Twine to create the shelf.  The tag was stamped using part of a greeting from Glamper Greetings onto a narrow strip of Very Vanilla. 

I used my Chalk Marker to color on the back of the eyeballs -- the white added contrast and just made them stand out a little more. The base is Cherry Cobbler Card Stock.

Thanks so much for looking!
