Gosh, am I ever late in sharing this scrapbook page with you guys but since we usually scrapbook after the fact and therefore out of season, I still think this page might inspire you your own design. I made this page for my friend Maggie's retreat, where I made a short presentation on scrapbooking. I wanted to show attendants how to use various Stampin' Up! tools to make pages. Here, I started with the great Halloween papers that were available in the Holidays catalogue and I combined them with the Simply scored and Diagonal plate to create the funky corners. I really liked the paper with the frame in the center and so in order not to hide the design, I used it to frame my picture and concentrated on the corners for embellishment.
I used a craft knife to take out the center of the frame and placed my picture underneath, with a second patterned paper placed underneath, that shows through the frame around the picture and in the corners. Speaking of corners, are you wondering how those were made? Simply by using the Diagonal plate and scoring four times at regular intervals. Then, I folded the corners in a back and forth movement to create an accordeon and held the corners down in place using Pumpkin Pie glimmer brads.
Like that chevron border as well? It was created uwing the Chevron Border Punch (still available in the Occasions catalogue, p. 28).
The title was created with a assortment of stamp sets. I used Halloween Bash (from the 2012 Holidays catalogue) for the argyle frame and the "Halloween." The word comes from a longer sentiment, but I used a Basic Black Stampin' Marker to only ink the word separately. I used Heat 'n Stick to cover the frame with Pumpkin Pie fine glitter, and I also used it on the Beware oval with the bat, paired with Basic Black fine glitter, this time. The result looks awesome! You really need to use fine glitter (like the one we sell) to get good results with Heat 'n Stick and stamps, otherwise the details get lost in there.
The first part of the title was created with the Morning Post Numbers stamp set (also from the Holidays catalogue). I stamped and embossed the frame in black powder on the newspaper print paper (from the Witches' Brew Designer Series paper) and cut it with the matching Deco Labels Collection Framelits, and I added the "ère" from the Memorable Moments stamp set (p. 134 of annual catalogue). The ticket at the bottom of the page also comes from the Halloween Bash stamp set and was punched out with the Ticket punch.
Finally, my journaling was handwritten using the Chalk marker, which carried over in the Occasions catalogue and is still available for purchase.
