A COTTAGE WREATH WITH A DANGLING SPIDER - A STAMP HAPPY HOLIDAYS POST

Hi Stampers!

Today I am sharing a dangling spider Halloween card made using the the COTTAGE WREATHS BUNDLE (Cottage Wreaths stamp set and the Country Wreaths Dies) from the Stampin’ Up!®️ July - December 2022 Mini Catalog. Although the card is made for Halloween, the same layout can be used to create cards for fall or any occasion. Let’s take a look.


The layout for this card is quite simple. The panel for the focal piece is basically a smaller version of the card base with the DSP mat. 

MEASUREMENTS FOR THE CARD LAYOUT
* Card base 4 1/4” x 11” scored and folded at 5 1/2”
* Cardstock to mat focal panel - 3 1/4” x 4 1/2”
* DSP for layers - cut one piece at 4” x 5 1/4” (for card base) and cut another one  3” x 4 1/4” fo4 focal panel.

SUPPLIES FOR THE CARD
* The cottage Wreaths Bundle
* Card base - Pumpkin Pie cardstock
* Pumpkin Pie cardstock to mat focal panel
* DSP - Rustic Harvest, for both layers
* Other cardstock - scraps of Pumpkin Pue and Basic White for stamping and die cutting
* Inks - Basic Gray, Gorgeous Grape, and Pumpkin Pie
* Sponge dauber
*Stylish Shapes Dies - two smallest circles
* Black Matte Dots -3 
* Metallic Mesh Ribbon - 2 to 3 inches
* Clear fishing line - about 5 inches (baker’s twine, crochet thread, etc. will work too)

ASSEMBLY
* Cut the cardstock for the card base, mat and cut the DSP layers
* Stamp the wreath and the Boo! on Basic White cardstock with Basic Gray
* Stamp two spiders on Basic White cardstock using Gorgeous Grape ink
* Die cut the spiders and the wreath, die cut another wreath shape from Basic White cardstock
* Die cut the Boo! Using the smallest Stylish Shapes circle die
* Die cut the bow and the circle to mat the Boo! from Pumpkin Pie cardstock.
* Put 1-2 glue dots on the back side of the stamped spider, put one end of the fishing line on the glue dots. Put glue dots on the other die cut, line it up with the other spider
* Use a dimensional to attach the fishing line at the top left side of the wreath die cut 
* Match up both die cut wreaths, use mini dimensionals to adhere the two wreaths together (cut larger ones in half if you do not have the mini ones)
* Adhere the DSP to the cardstock for the focal panel, and adhere the other piece of DSP to the card base.
* Adhere the wreath to the focal panel
* Adhere the greeting to its mat then adhere the greeting to the center of the wreath
* Use the sponge dauber and Pumpkin Pie ink to sponge a bit of color around the edges of the die cut bow
* Pinch the center Metallic Mesh ribbon, hold the pinching in place with a glue dot, use another glue dot to attach the mesh ribbon to the back side of the die cut bow, and finally attach the bow/ ribbon to the wreath.
* Attach the focal panel to the card base with dimensionals
* Add the Black Matte Dots to the card




That’s all for today. Thanks for stopping by for this edition of Stamp Happy Holidays. Until next time…
