Good Tuesday morning my stamping friends welcome to Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop. It’s the 2nd Tuesday of the month so that means Blog Hop Day!! If you are starting with me, be sure to hop around to see everyone’s projects. If you’ve hopped over from Charlene’s blog, welcome to my blog and thank you for stopping by. The theme this month is “Halloween Fun”. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels.  Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Oh MY Fright Bundle and Frightfully Fun Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Adhere a panel of Frightfully Fun DSP to a Basic Black mat. Adhere the layered panel to a Pumpkin Pie card front. Wrap a piece of Black 3/8″ Iridescent Ribbon around the panel and adhere it on the back. Adhere the layered panel to a Basic Black card base.

Stamp the sentiment from Oh My Fright stamp set in Black Ink on the bottom of a Very Vanilla panel. Adhere the Very Vanilla panel to a Basic Black mat. Adhere the layered panel to the card front.

On a panel of Very Vanilla, stamp the cat under witch’s hat image from Oh My Fright stamp set in Black Ink. Color the image with Basic Black, Pumpkin Pie, Smoky Slate and Timid Tiger Stampin’ Blends Markers. Using the Oh My fright Dies, cut the cat image out and the swirl die from a panel of Basic Black. Adhere the die cut cat to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Adhere the swirls around the card front. Add a few Adhesive-Backed Dots to the card front.

Stamp the sentiment from Oh My Fright stamp set in Black Ink on a panel of Very Vanilla. Stamp the star image from Oh MY Fright stamp set in black Ink next to the sentiment. Adhere 2 strips of Frightfully Fun DSP to either side of the panel. Adhere the Very Vanilla panel to a Pumpkin Pie mat then to the inside of the Basic Black card base.

Decorate a Basic Whtie Medium Envelope to complete your card. Stamp the cat with witch’s hat image from the Oh My Fright stamp set in Black Ink on the envelope front. Color the image with BasicBlack, Pumpkin Pie, Smoky Slate and Timid Tiger Stampin’ Blends Markers. Adhere a panel of Frightfully Fun DSP to the envelope flap.
