Fall Frolic Day #3

Welcome to Day #3 of the Fall Frolic Event! Today I’m going to share with you another Halloween Project that is a 2-in-1! These adorable little glass bottles serve as both a Favor and a Place Setting Card – how cool is that!? I saw these little bottles in a 24-pack at my local craft store probably about two years ago and just had to have them. They were in the Wedding Department, but I knew that some day I would find an alternative use for them. That day is here!

These little bottles are all about RubOns! I didn’t use any stamped images, just the "Spooky Treats" RubOn Assortment:

ALY’S HELPFUL HINTS:

• The beauty of this RubOn Set is that it coordinates perfectly with the Modern Label and Designer Label Punches!
• To create some extra elements of interest, both black and white RubOns where used on both bottles, 2 RubOns per bottle.
• Take your bottles to new heights using a comination of Stampin’ Dimensionals and Pop Up Glue Dots!
• While Stampin’ Dimensionals work wonders for cardstock to cardstock mounts, Pop Up Glue Dots are just the thing you need when adhering cardstock to another surface type, like the glass here!
• Here’s a HOT TIP for you! If you’re Pop Up Glue Dots just aren’t gooie enough, attach it to the desired surface and let it spend a few seconds under the Heat Tool – voila! You have hot glue gun guts on the fly!
• This fabulous place card pattern comes from the NEW Table Setting Day in the Holiday MIni Catalog – they are tent cards and they will stand up on their own, I simply choose to attach them to these bottles by creating a slit in the top of the cork.

WHAT WAS USED:

Spooky Treats RubOns (115729), Stampin’ Up! Table Setting Bigz XL Die (116819), Big Shot (113439), Modern Label Punch (116630), Designer Label Punch (107590), Silver Brads (104336), Stampin’ Dimensionals (104430), Pop-Up Glue Dots (104183), Only Orange Cardstock (102837), Basic Black Cardstock (102851) and Whisper White Cardstock (100730)

Fall Frolic Day #2

Welcome to Day #2 of the Fall Frolic Event! Today I’m going to share with you an adorable little pumpkin card.

Both pumpkins and the leaf image come from an oldie but a goodie, the "Autumn Harvest" Stamp Set. These images just scream for Aqua Painters, so I decided to try something new. Watercoloring on Colored Cardstock is what makes these pumpkins so smashing!

ALY’S HELPFUL HINTS:

• To spice up your pumpkins, just give an Aqua Painter/Classic Ink swipe where you want your shaded areas to be. With the colored cardstock underneath, watercoloring these pumpkins to perfection is very simple!
• Hemp Twine tied in a bow around the stem is what adds the perfect extra touch to pumpkin number one.
• For less rubbing stress, you’ll want to apply your RubOn before stamping the tone on tone background. Don’t worry, the ink will resist around the RubOn and you can still stamp wherever you desire — but if you apply the RubOn first, it’s going to be stubborn sticking over top of the Classic Ink.
• 6" x 3" Cards are the perfect size to hold money and checks! This particular card started with a 3" x 12" piece of cardstock before being folded in half – that way, you can tie your ribbon around the card without it’s fold getting in the way.
• This snazzy way of tying a ribbon was done by threading through the Slot Punch!

WHAT WAS USED:

Autumn Harvest Stamp Set (110372), Autumn Harvest RubOns (115731), Old Olive 12×12 Cardstock (106544), Pumpkin Pie Cardstock (105117), More Mustard Pumpkin Pie Cardstock (100946), Old Olive Classic Ink (102277), Really Rust Classic Ink (102549), Hemp Twine (100982), Chocolate Chip 5/8" Grosgrain Ribbon (109051), Horizontal Slot Punch (105089), Corner Rounder (109047), Stampin’ Dimensionals (104430) and Aqua Painter (103954)
