Here is a peeky at the RRR September Ribbon Club Assortment.
I love this cute and spooky ribbon pack! I plan to order more of that amazing orange plaid!
It is not a secret that I have a vast hoard of Graphic 45 paper, including all the Halloween collections! I pulled them all out to create this orange and black Halloween mish mash card! Anyone remember that song...about the Monster Mash? That's what I was thinking of when I created this messy masterpiece. {grin}
I tied a bow with the orange plaid with black stitching ribbon from the September Club, and then topped it with a chipboard "charm" and a loopy bow made from black burlap string.
I sneaked in a bit of the spiderwebs with black grosgrain ribbon as well. I was inspired by the spiderweb ribbon, which made me pull out an older set of Papertrey Ink dies and cut some webs!
I also purchased a set of word dies a few years ago. I cut the Trick or Treat sentiment from black cardstock, and then cut it again out of orange print paper. I used just the "or" from the printed paper. Cool, right?! My friend Jacquie shared this technique with me ages ago, and I still find the idea of "nested die shapes" fascinating. It is a great way to make the same old die look a bit different!
I stamped the inside of the card with my new Graphic 45 Rare Oddities stamps!
