Stampin' Up! has released some fantastic new Online Exclusives with Halloween themes, and we're thrilled to feature one of these in our project today: the Playful Ghosts Cling Stamp Set (English) [164366].

In today’s project, we’re using the Playful Ghosts set to create a spook-tacular and easy treat wrap for a Tootsie Roll Pop. Here are the steps to assemble your own:

  1.  Start by stamping the ghost image from the Playful Ghosts set onto white cardstock. Color with alcohol markers. Use a tag die to cut it out.  On the project, the die is from the  Greetings Of The Season Dies [164112].
  2. Stamp sentiment on colored card stock. Cut out withPaper Snips [103579]and glue to tag.
  3.  Choose a patterned paper with the color scheme that you'd like to use. Cut it to 3" wide by 6" tall. Score at 1/2" from each long side.
  4. Fold paper in half at 3".  Use adhesive to secure front to back within the 1/2" scores.
  5. Insert Tootsie Roll Pop and secure closure near stick with Mini Glue Dots [103683].
  6.  Tie a ribbon around the Pop stick and secure tag to ribbon with Linen Thread [104199].
  7. Embellish as desired.

My Favorite Card Sketch

Favorite-simple-card-sketch-1

This week on Ink and Inspirations, we are creating using one of my all-time favorite card sketches.

But first, what exactly is a card sketch?

A card sketch is a design or layout that serves as a starting point for your card-making projects. It’s like a blueprint that guides you in arranging your elements, ensuring a balanced and aesthetically pleasing result. Card sketches are especially handy when you need a spark of inspiration or a way to streamline your creative process.

Sketch-1

In our latest video, I’ll show you how to take this sketch and transform it into a beautiful card using some of our favorite Stampin' Up! products.

Let's take a look!

Lisa's Inklings:

  • Card Base: 5 1/2 x 8 1/2.
  • Designer Paper: (floral) 4 x 5 1/4; (watercolor wash) 1 3/4 x 4
  • Basic White: Scrap for label die; 4 x 5 1/4 for inside of card

Here are the supplies used for this project:

Whether you're a seasoned crafter or just getting started, this sketch will provide you with the perfect foundation to create something truly special. Try this sketch for yourself and send me the photo or post it on our Ink and Inspirations Stampers Group on Facebook.
