Hello and welcome to the Stamping Dreams Blog Hop. Our theme this month is ‘Ghosts and Goblins’ which is always a bit of a challenge for me as Halloween is not a big deal in the UK so I don’t have any Halloween stamp set. After a bit of thought I settled on using the Sweetest Star stamp set to make my card.

Colours used in this card are:

 

To recreate the scary boo card, you will need:

Peach Pie card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Old Olive card – 5¼” by 1¾”

Basic White card – 3¾” by 3”
Old Olive card – 3” by 2½”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside
Scrap Gorgeous Grape and Basic Black card

 

The ‘gingerbread’ stamp from the Sweetest Star stamp set was stamped all over the Peach Pie card front with Peach Pie ink. I flagged the end of the strip of Old Olive card and added it to the card front with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

Inspiring Snapdragon Card

Posted on by

I have made a sweet get-well card using the Inspiring Snapdragons stamp set and some bright and happy colours.

Colours used in this card are:

 

To recreate the inspiring snapdragon card, you will need:

Basic White card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Melon Mambo card – 4⅞” by 3⅛”
Basic White card – 4¾” by 3”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside

 

Taking the longest flower spike, I stamped around the edges of the Lemon Lolly card front with Lemon Lolly ink creating a tone-on-tone textured look.

At the bottom of the 4¾” by 3” panel of Basic White card I stamped the sentiment in Melon Mambo ink.

The long flower spike was then stamped above the sentiment, in the centre of the 4¾” by 3” panel of Basic White card using Melon Mambo ink. The other 2 flower spikes were then stamped, one on either side with Lemon Lolly ink.
