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 beautiful projects. If you’ve hopped over from Tara’s blog, welcome to my blog and thank you for stopping by. The theme this month is “Halloween Fun”. We can interpret this however we want. Here’s my card for today.
I used the Stampin’ Up! Pick of The Patch Bundle along with Them Bones Designer Series Paper and Glow-In-The-Dark Specialty Paper for my card today.
I played along with Just Us Girls Word Week Challenge # 696.
I started by adhering a panel of Them Bones DSP to a Starry Sky card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. On panels of Basic white, I stamped the pumpkin images from the Stampin’ Up! Pick of The Patch Photopolymer Stamp Set in Pumpkin Pie and Cajun Craze Inks. I stamped the stem image from Pick of The Patch stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink on a thins strip of Basic White. I stamped the vine images from the Pick of The Patch stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink on some of the pumpkins. I stamped the Jack-O-Lantern face from Pick of The Patch stamp set on one of the pumpkins in Tuxedo Blakc Ink.
2 of the pumpkins and the stems I punched out using the Pick of The Patch Builder Punch. The other pumpkins I fussy cut using Paper Snips. I arranged the pumpkins on the bottom of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Using the Alphabet A La Mode Dies, I cut out BOO! from a panel of Glow-In-The-Dark Paper with an adhesive Foam Sheet adhered to the back. I adhered the sentiment to the card front. I added a few Glow-In-The-Dark Ghosts to the card front.
I turned the lights off when I was taking my pictures, so here’s a photo in the dark.
On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Pick of The Patch stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the pumpkin images from the Pick of The Patch stamp set on the bottom of the panel in Pumpkin Pie Ink. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Pumpkin Pie mat then to the inside of the Starry Sky card base.
To complete my card, I decorated a Basic Whtie Medium Envelope. I stamped the pumpkin images from Pick Of The Patch stamp set in Pumpkin Pie Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Them Bones DSP to the envelope flap.
Thank you for visiting by my blog today, I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. Now that you’ve seen my card, be sure to hop around to see everyone’s beautiful projects.

In response to changing policies at Stampin’ Up – I’m adjusting my Ordering Gift policy as well. I’m having to get a little more tough on the adding of Host codes when you place your order thru my Online Store.
Not to worry – you’re still going to get that $10 ordering gift for orders of $50 (before shipping & tax) or greater. And the gift is still any 1 SU! product up to that $10 value – which includes some of our fun Host Sets!
But – if you DO NOT use the Host code for your orders of less than $150 (this is the RETAIL total before Shipping & Handling), then you’ll have two options:
- You’ll need to call Stampin’ Up! (1-800-Stamp-Up) and ask them to add it for you. They’re very helpful and will get it done quickly! OR….
- If your order was over the $50 threshold but under $150, then…you’ll forfeit that $10 ordering gift and rewards – this is the Bummer Option – and I REALLY don’t want to do this, SO please remember to add my Current Host Code.
