When I saw this stamp set in the new Holiday Mini Catalog, I knew what I was going to do with it! The beautiful Silver Glass Glitter is the perfect finishing touch.
There is so much going on with this project-it is full of texture, bling and even a little mystery! It is made with two 4 inch square coasters so it should have four sides, but because of the use of a technique called Jacob’s Ladder it has six sides! I found my directions in a publication called Paper Crafting with Carol Duvall.
I love the Wicked Fun Specialty DSP-the flocking really adds to the project! For the front piece, I daubed Basic Black Classic Ink onto the two edges of the “spooky” DSP that weren’t edged with black after I cut my piece out. I stamped the image with Black Stazon onto a Thick Window Sheet, trimmed it down and ran it through a Xyron to make the back sticky. Then I gently added the glitter-first the green, then the orange. I used Multipurpose Liquid Glue around the edge and sprinkled Silver Glass Glitter onto it-love that glitter!
For the next two sides, I used Spider Web Embossing Folder with Basic Black Card Stock and a flocked piece of the Wicked Fun Specialty DSP. I pulled out the new Wicked Cool Stamp Set-a must have for any Halloween fanatic!!
For the next two sides, I used the Midnight Musings Jumbo Wheel and Grateful Greetings Stamp Set. I also made the little envelope with the new Petal Card Punch-what a nasty little spider that is hiding inside!
The back side is more of the wonderful flocked paper from the Wicked Fun Specialty DSP. The entire project is held together with ¼ inch Basic Black Grosgrain Ribbon.
