Ghoulish Grunge for What Will You Stamp?

This week's challenge set for What Will You Stamp? is Ghoulish Grunge.  Looking at my card you are probably wondering "Where's the Grunge".  The answer is that the Grunge is on all the mats.  I used the gauze stamp and Versarmark ink on Whisper White and Basic Black cardstock and heat embossed with our new Copper Embossing Powder.   

I almost forgot to mention that the cute little pumpkin stamp came from the September Paper Pumpkin kit.  Paper Pumpkin is a fabulous box that arrives at your door on a monthly basis.  It contains everything you need to create...stamps, ink, cardstock, and embellishments. This month it came with plastic tubes and cork stoppers that can be decorated and filled for the trick or treaters in your life.  How awesome is that!!!  

Here's a closeup of the mats so you can see all the texture.

Ghoulish Grunge can be used for things other than Halloween...don't you agree 

I wonder what the rest of the Design Team has created over at WWYS?  Don't forget to check it out.  If you have this stamp set why not play along with us.  Post your project to the blog and you could win a chance to be a Guest Designer.

I recently held a Paper Pumpkin class with several other demonstrators and we showed alternative ways to use five different Paper Pumpkin kits.  I made a couple of alternatives with the March 2015 Sew You kit and would like to share them with you.

 

This is what one of the cards looks like with no changes and it's super cute!

I love, love, love this Christmas card that was made by flipping the "YOU" over and turning it into "JOY".  I cut 1/4" strips of Real Red and Wild Wasabi cardstock and glued those onto alternating stripes to create my own Christmas designer series paper. 

On this next card I cut the striped card from the kit in half and glued that to the front of the Daffodil Delight and Bermuda Bay cardstock to create another layer.  I used those same colors and the Bird Builder Punch to make the cute little bird that is singing "Thank You".

Paper Pumpkin is monthly Magic in a Box that is delivered right to your door.  If you like the "Sew You" kit I've shown here, you can purchase that also (while supplies last) after you have signed up for a Paper Pumpkin trial. 

This is really a great deal so if you have been thinking about signing up for your own little bit of magic now is the time.  Super easy to do it too.....CLICK HERE 

Thanks for stopping in to visit...I'll see you again soon.
