Welcome to the Stampin Friends Halloween Blog Hop. If you have arrived here from Tina's page, thank you for continuing on to me. Isn't Tina fabulous?? I will admit I am big fan of her work!! And she is a sweetheart as well. :)
We have two guests hopping along with us this month, so please make sure you stop by the blogs of
Cindy Waldroff and Maria Willis
and enjoy their creations.
The minute I saw this stamp in the holiday catty, I knew it had to be mine!! It just makes me laugh. :) We do not get a lot of trick-or-treaters here in the woods, so I don't like to purchase candy, cuz then I will just eat it..... So, in keeping with the theme of the card, I thought I would create a broom. I have also seen them made with licorice or candy filled cello bags, but I liked the pencil idea. Also plan to offer my sister some to put on the desks of her fellow teachers.
The base of my card is Old Olive, the pattered paper is from We R Memory Keepers and is called Bewitched. The next layer is some orange burlap sent to by the fabulous Andrea Tucker. The image is stamped in Baked Brown Sugar. I stamped a second image and cut out the sentiment to make a banner, and one broom, which I colored with Stampin Up markers. Both were attached to the card with dimentionals. I made a little loopy bow with some twine, added a greenish button, and done!!
For the "broom", I cut a strip of dsp 2 1/2" by 12", scored it at 1/2" along the long edge, and cut strips up to the score line. I used sticky strip just above the score line to attach the dsp to the pencil, and finished it off with some twine.
I really like how this card turned out, and know I will be inking that stamp up a few more times before Halloween.
The wonderful Elizabeth Thatcher has come up with a fun game for this hop, so if you comment on each blog post along the hop, and then e-mail Elizabeth at happystamper508@gmail.com with a list of each hopper's favorite stamp set, you will be entered to win a $25 gift card good for Stampin Up products from Elizabeth. You have until midnight on Sunday, the 18th to enter. Good Luck!!
My favorite stamp set is..... "Lovely as a Tree". An oldie, but a goodie that I return to often.
Next up is Cindy Waldroff..... I am sure she has something wonderful waiting for you!! Enjoy hopping along.
Make it a great day!!
Lisa

What a cute stamp! And I love how you colored and cut one of the brooms to stand out.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely LOVE the broom idea! It will be so much fun to give to the teachers I know.
ReplyDeleteSoooo super cute and the broom is adorable! The teachers will love them for sure!
ReplyDeleteLisa, I love your card and pencil broom! I know what you mean about not buying candy when you don't get a lot of trick or treaters, but this pencil is a really fun idea and makes a cute little gift, or to give out to a few kids that visit the woods on halloween! That stamp is great and I like what you did, popping the one broom up!
ReplyDeleteBoth of your projects are adorable! The broom is pretty but the card is beautiful. I am in love with both and I really like the way you added the burlap to the card. Good job!!!!! I'm obsessing over it.
ReplyDeleteThe pencil broom is perfect with your card! Even the trick-or-treaters would love to get one, I think!
ReplyDeleteLove what you did with this stamp set! Great card.
ReplyDeleteI knew I should have gotten that stamp set!!! Great card and project. Kathie Rotti
ReplyDeleteLove your card! I just ordered that stamp.
ReplyDeleteI love all your brooms! Such a cute card and broom stand!
ReplyDeleteI love the way the coloured broom pops.
ReplyDeleteLisa, this is one of my fav stamps as well. Love how you popped up the one broom. and, yes, the broom pencils is just darling.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great card Lisa! I love the broom that is colored and popped out from the rest. I have the same problem-no trick-or-treaters in my neck of the woods.... When I buy that huge bag of Reese's cups "for the trick-or-treaters" I am not fooling anyone!

Great card and decorated pencil!! Perfect for Halloween!! :)
ReplyDeleteAwesome card! And those brooms would make great treats for someone's class.
ReplyDeleteThe same here... no Trick or Treaters here. Any candy craft items you make for Craft Shows that don't sell what do you do with it? EAT IT! That is why I have been trying to stay away from candy treats and working more on other types of things. I think the Pencil Brooms are a great idea and look very nice! Love the Broom Card too with the popped up broom ~ that really sets it off! You did a good job on them. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI bought the brooms because I loved them, but haven't been able to do much I liked with them, thanks for the inspiration.
