Cookie Cutter Halloween Sampler Frame

I love the sampler frames with different vignettes in each square, but I have been a slacker and haven't made one since the spring. (See it here.) I have had several requests for fall and winter samplers, so I took some time at the retreat over the weekend to design this Halloween sampler with some Holiday Catalog products, including the Cookie Cutter Halloween stamp set.

If you are in Central Illinois and would like to make your own Halloween Sampler Frame -- register for my class this Sunday, October 2nd at 2:00 pm at my home in Champaign. (Click here to RSVP.)

The background cardstock is 8" x 8". The smaller squares are 2" x 2" layered on 2-1/4" x 2-1/4". The large square is 4-3/8" x 4-3/8" layered on 4-5/8" x 4-5/8".

VIDEO Tutorial: Cookie Cutter Christmas Box Card with Shrinky Dink Earrings

As I expected, the wifi at camp this weekend was pretty spotty, so I spent my hours offline and enjoyed time stamping with my friends. I'll share some pictures of the retreat in my next post because I know some of you are anxiously awaiting this video.

If you saw my Halloween Box Card and earrings set, you're going to love this Christmas version! I gifted these to my upline Kim Peck and my friend Cathy Roy for everything they do at camp to make it extra special. They spoiled us with pillow gifts and prizes!

Here is the Christmas version of the box card and earrings that I made with the Cookie Cutter Christmas stamp set and Candy Cane Lane Designer Paper.

You'll need 12" x 12" cardstock for this project. Here are the measurements:

• Box Wrap: 3" x 12" Real Red cardstock. Score at 3", 4", 7", 8", 11".
• Drawer: 4-7/8" x 4-7/8" Real Red cardstock. Score at 1" from each side.
• Insert for earrings: 2-3/4" x 4-3/8"

Watch my video tutorial to learn how to make this box and for tips on making the shrinky dink earrings: 


TIPS for making Shrinky Dink Earrings:

1. Stamp the image with Jet Black Staz-On ink. Allow the ink to dry before handling the plastic so you don't smear it.
2. Use permanent markers or colored pencils to color the image if desired.
3. Punch the shrink plastic with your punch or use scissors to trim around the image.
4. If you are making earrings or a charm, be sure to punch a hole (I used 1/8" Hole Punch) BEFORE you shrink it.
5. Use a Paper Piercing Tool through the hole to keep the plastic from moving around in a heat-safe container (I used an old baking pan) and heat it with the Heat Tool until it shrinks completely. (It will look like it's going to fold into a ball -- keep going! It will lay flat again!) You can also use an oven for this step.

Paisleys & Posies Card for Stamp of the Month Club Kit

I am packing my bags and headed to Camp One Way for our annual team retreat. I am looking forward to stamping all weekend and hanging out with my demonstrator friends. I filmed a couple videos this morning, but I'm not sure what the wifi situation will be like, so you may not see them until I return home.

If you've been waiting for the Box Card instructions, click here to see printable instructions for an older project. I'll post the video tutorial as soon as I can!

In the meantime, I'm excited to share with you the first card I created with the Paisleys and Posies stamp set for my September Stamp of the Month Club Card Kit. I love the fall colors: Cajun Craze, Delightful Dijon, and Mint Macaron.

This card is one of three designs in my September Stamp of the Month Club card kit. There is no commitment when you join my Stamp of the Month Club! I'll add you to my club mailing list and you'll receive one email each month revealing the stamp set and card designs. You can choose when you want to participate by simply replying to that email.

Each month, I feature a different stamp set. Those who participate in September will receive the Paisleys & Posies Photopolymer stamp set (or substitute a different set), pre-cut materials to make 6 cards (2 each of 3 designs), printed instructions with a color photo of each card, and Priority Mail shipping.
