Wicked Cool Royal Blog Tour

 Welcome all ye travelers! Welcome to my humble abode: Stamp Ink Diva! Halloween has passed but the fun projects have not. May I entice you to use this Wicked Cool Stamp Set (118738-(W) wood mount/120600-(C) clear mount ) for next year's creations and maybe even convince you to use it for the upcoming holidays?

(When I first signed up to do this tour, all I could think of was Halloween and forgot that the tour would be after that! Reminder for next year...look at the dates before I sign up! LOL)

So, I decided to share some ideas that could be used for Halloween and for other holidays.

Let's begin with this:

Some of my favorite things include cupcakes, ribbon, and buttons. So naturally, this project was a delight to make. This entails using our gorgeous ribbon as the icing and our Wicked Cool Stamp set as our cherry on top! Here's a closer look at the button spider:

What's more wicked than a cupcakeful of chocolate kisses inside?

For my next project, I wanted to share some other uses for this Wicked Cool set.

Isn't it cute? I used the Playful Pieces Set to make this present and changed up the colors to make this witch into an elf!

And then, what do you think of this:

Now the witch is dressed like "mrs. claus" and bearing this sign:

Wicked Cool Fun

Tonight's Bunco Night was WICKEDLY FUN!!!! Thanks to all the wonderful women that came. It was  nice to meet so many new faces and see old friends. I hope that all that attended had fun and can't wait to do it again next quarter!

Not only did we have fun playing the game, we made these fun treat boxes with the new Candy Wrapper Bigz Die (120890) from the Holiday Mini Catalog.

1.  Run the DSP (Designer Series Paper) through the big shot and fold at each score line.  TIP: Its very important to fold EVERY score line so that when its time to twist the ends, it will go smoother.

2.  Use sticky strip along the short end and assemble box.
3.  Twist the ends and fan out. TIP: Crease at the corners where the notch is cut out, push in toward the box and twist. It takes some time to get used to but it'll just happen! (Its magic!)
4.  Make a ribbon band by using the Dotted Scallop Ribbon Punch and wrap around the box.
5.  Stamp your image onto Whisper White card stock.
6.  Cut out a Scallop Circle from Basic Black card stock.
7.  Cut out with the 1-3/8" Circle Punch and adhere to the Black Scallop Circle.
8.  Adhere to box with Stampin' Dimensionals.
9.  Apply Crystal Effects to the edges and sprinkle the glitter and shake off excess.

Don't you just love the "bling" on the perimeter of the focal point? Its our new Silver Glass Glitter. Its different from Stampin' Up!'s chunky glitter and in time, this glitter will age to give it a more vintage-y look. (You know wherever I can put "bling" I will.)
