Spider Web Textured Impressions Folder

I’ve got a little more Halloween fun to share, but it isn’t actually mine. I’m really more about the chocolate than the decorations when it comes to Halloween, but fortunately Kellie has been busy with her Wicked Cool stamps and paper!!

Who would have thought that PURPLE (ok, ok, Rich Razzleberry, but it’s purple already!) would work so well as a Halloween color? Go figure!

Wanna see what’s inside?

Kellie stamped her images on tissue paper, put them in place on the tea lights, then used her heat tool to melt the wax over the tissue. Wicked cool, wouldn’t you say? And please notice that she stamped those psycho little bats along the side of the box too – that girl thinks of everything!

For the finishing touch, how about a card that says it all:

If this doesn’t say Wicked Witch of the West to you, well then I don’t know what would! I’m not going to attempt a product list because I would surely make a mess of it, but Kellie did point out something very clever. She doesn’t have the biggest scallop circle, so she punched two XL Fancy Flowers and offset them behind the witches feet. Absolutely brilliant!

Thanks, Kellie, for the inspiration.

Welcome to Day One of the RemARKable Stampers Holiday Madness Blog Tour! Buckle your seat belts and get ready for a wonderful Sleigh Ride through the Holidays…although as you all know, there’s not a whole lotta sleigh riding’ here in the islands! I’m thrilled to be a part of this blog hop for the next week, and I hope you’ll have a wonderful time riding along with me.

To get started, we’re going to visit the holiday closest at hand. Halloween in Hawaii is huge. When our kids were small, we lived in a neighborhood full of families. Everyone would set their beach chairs out in the driveway and watch the enormous parade of keiki (children) as they walked, skated, scootered or got strollered through the streets. The really organized people had their grills going, and there were a few houses with really elaborate and impressive decorations. I was always too busy getting three small children into costumes and fed something, anything, that wasn’t full of sugar before we headed out – carving the pumpkins was just about my limit. Fortunately, our yard was full of contented spiders willing to do a little decorating for me.,

You know that frantic, arms-flailing, twisting and turning little dance you do when you accidentally walk through a cobweb? You’re trying to get all the webby bits out of your hair and at the same time you are just PRAYING that the spider was out at Walmart getting supplies for the Webber grill…that’s what I was thinking about:

Teeny Tiny Wishes and Season of Friendship Stamp sets
More Mustard, Basic Black, Rich Razzleberry, and Very Vanilla card stock
Basic Black and Rich Razzleberry Classic ink pads
Big Shot and Spider Web Textured Impressions folder
Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint; Rich Razzleberry Taffeta Ribbon
Stampin’ Sponges; Modern Label Punch and Crop-a-dile
Googly Eyes (non-SU)

Actually, my spider was sitting in the tree just watching me do the Tarantella and laughing with his little spidery friend. This new Textured Impressions folder from the Holiday Mini is so vivid you could use it all by itself for a card and it would work beautifully. I used it with the raised side down because I liked the distance it created, but it is equally awesome when you use it right side up. You’ll have to try it yourself to find out, but don’t wait too long because these Textured Impressions folders are very popular and you don’t want to be disappointed just before Halloween! That would be a mean trick and no treat.
