Your Creative Connection Halloween #YCC116

Hello and welcome

Today's project with the Your Creative Connection is all about Halloween or Autumn and I have chosen Halloween for my 3D creation. I always love this time of year and Halloween is getting bigger in Australia. My kids love to dress up and going Trick or Treating! Giving out gifts and treats is always a fun tradition.

For my project I've used the Mini Pizza Box, lots of Dies and the very cute Have a Hoot Bundle. The owl is so cute peeking over his cape looking at the bat and the Silver Foil Spider Web. I've used different textures and many layers with different Stampin' Up! products from the August - December 2020 Mini Catalogue and the 2020/21 Annual Catalogue.

To start with the Mini Pizza Box, inking up the box with Memento Ink and a Stamping Sponge until the box is completely covered. To achieve the black shimmer fill a Stampin' Spritzer with Rubbing Alcohol, a couple of drops of Frost White Shimmer Paint and spritz all over the box. I like to spritz my projects in a cardboard box and outside too.

I've created a belly band for my 3D project, using the gorgeous Magic in this Night DSP measurements are 12"x 3" and secured with Tear and Tape. I just love the Silver Metallic Mesh Ribbon against the DSP and it's perfect against the black paper.

I love to use glitter in my projects, I've used the largest die from the Forever Flourish Dies in Black Glitter Paper and you'll find this specialty paper in the Stampin' Up! Mini Catalogue on page 53.

Adding a balance of Silver Foil by using the Sunflower Dies for the sprigs, the Peek A Hoot Dies for the spider web and the moon.

The black tag is one of three from the Peek A Hoot Dies, I've used the largest one in Basic Black Cardstock, spritzed it with my mix of Frost White Shimmer Paint and Rubbing Alcohol in the Stampin' Spritzer. I've added the combination of the Metallic Mesh Ribbon and Gray Granite Shimmer Ribbon to the tag.

The cute owl is stamped in Memento Ink and coloured in with the Stampin' Blends in the following colours - Smoky Slate, Highland Heather, Blackberry Bliss, Daffodil Delight and Pumpkin Pie. The tag is layered over the die cut pieces using Stampin' Dimenisonals. I've decided to not use a sentiment as the gift box speaks for it self.

Now it's time to visit the lovely Dawn Olchefske in Minneapolis, USA and see her beautiful project.
