Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge

 

Today I'm playing along with Simon Says Stamp's Wednesday Challenge where they are looking for Funny/Punny.  Their featured manufacturer is Riley and Company and while I do have several of their offbeat sentiments, in keeping with my NBUS resolution, I chose THREE ITEMS from my overflowing Bin of Shame for today's creation.

I purchased this trio of ghosts last fall while visiting the Enchanted Cottage in North Carolina.  I may have also picked up the stamp set there as well.  My buying is all a blur....

I began with the Distress Oxide blended background.  I added black pigment ink to a 3D embossing folder and ran it through my die cutter, basically using it as a stamp.  I stamped the spiders from the sentiment directly over top of the web.  For something a bit unexpected I made my center ghost black with white and adhered him directly to the webbed background.  The two white with black ghosties were popped up with foam squares.  The sentiment was stamped in black pigment ink and then heat embossed in clear.  

It feels great to be using my NBUS supplies, even if Halloween is months away.  (I mailed out all my entire stash of Halloween cards last fall so this is a great start to rebuilding the category.)  

Supplies:

Picket Fence - 3 Ghastly Ghosts (NBUS)

Poppystamps - Bugs and Hisses stamp set (NBUS)

Simon Says Stamp - Spooky Web 3D embossing folder (NBUS)

Thanks so much for visiting!  Your time and comments are always appreciated.

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge

 

I am nothing if not an equal opportunity craft supply collector.  Today I'm playing with the Simon Says Wednesday challenge group.  It's been a long time since I've joined in but I'm taking advantage of a nasty (non-Covid) cold to play in my craft room.  

Anything Goes featuring CZ Design Product

I began with the embossed background.  I then die cut the dove and branch from silver and white cardstocks.  The sentiment was heat embossed in silver onto the same white cardstock.  I arranged them to my liking and added in a diagonal line of silver pearls to extend the flow. 

Supplies:

Simon Says Stamap - Turtle Dove die set

Simon Says Stamp - Leaf Bundle embossing folder

Simon Says Stamp / CZ Design - Clean Line Gratitude stamp and die set

Studio Katia - silver foil pearls

As always, thanks so much for spending a bit of your day with me!
