Stars Team Member Testimonial

Why I Continue to Be Member of the Stars Team
Kristen Martin

It’s never been a question for me. I have the best supporting team any crafter would need. I’ve been a hobby demonstrator for most of my time, but I’ve also learned that when the time is right my business will blossom.

Lisa has supported me no matter what my status is. Any questions I’ve had, she's always guided me to solve it. Lisa has given me lots of opportunities to SHINE as a crafter and share many projects. Over the 10 years we have grown close and I consider her a friend. I’m super grateful for the friendships I’ve made being a STAR!

September 02, 2020

2020 Stampin' Up! Halloween Projects Week 4 from Lisa Brown, Stampin' Up! Demonstrator, Ink and Inspirations

Here's a little Halloween treat bag for our fourth in a series of 2020 Stampin' Up! Halloween projects. This little bag will hold a generous amount of treats or a little gift for someone special.

One of the little gnomes from the Gnome For The Holidays Cling Stamp Set (English) [153322]. set is easily transformed into a Halloween character.

Let's take a look at the how-to video tutorial.

Lisa's Inklings:

Magic In This Night Designer Series Paper [153517] is cut 6 x 12 and scored at 1-1/2, 5-1/2, 7, and 11. Turn and score at 1-1/2. You will also need a scrap piece for the gnome hat.
You will need about a 4 x 5 piece of Basic Black 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock [121045] and Smoky Slate 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock [131202] for die cutting.
For sentiment, cut ss at 1 x 1-3/4 and a scrap piece for spider.

Seems like you customize any of these little guys from Gnome For The Holidays Cling Stamp Set (English) [153322].
