Lauren's Memory Box Projects - Trick-or-Treat Bag

The second project DT Member Lauren created using Memory Box's stamp Spooky Mansion is this fun Trick-or-Treat bag!
 

To make this mag, she used a muslin bag and Memento ink to stamp onto the bag. The Trick-or-Treat sentiment is by Lawn Fawn. The three ribbons she chose are from May Arts and layer perfectly. And there's a little touch of glitter usign Stickles around the moon of the Memory Box Spooky Mansion stamp.
 
Isn't this bag fun? It would perfect to use as goodie bags filled with candy for Halloween! Leave a comment if you have any questions for Lauren on how she made this bag.


Speaking of Halloween... DT Member Lynette has a really neat class coming up on Saturday, October 19th. Head over to our Classes and Events page for more information.

Lauren's Memory Box Projects - Spooky Mansion


We are continuing this week to bring you inspiration on how to use your stamp sets in creative ways or maybe use the set that's themed for a certain holiday for something different! You can see all of the Design Team's work at Stamp Fever so come on by.

This week, DT Member Lauren has three projects using a set from Memory box called Spooky Mansion. The first project is a card using the spooky mansion as an actual... spooky mansion. :)


Lauren used distressing ink to color the sky and ground and alcohol markers to color in the stamp. She used dimensionals (in black!) to give the scene some depth. The moon is also outlined with Stickles to give the card a little bling. The background paper is from October Afternoon's Witch Hazel collection.

Leave a comment if you have any questions about this spooky card for Lauren!

DT Member Bette's last card for this week is a cute one using the two sets from Hero Arts: Favorite and Remember. To see the other two cards she made using these sets here and here. It has been really fun to see how you can use these sets in different ways for more inspiration! Make sure to stop by Stamp Fever to see Bette's cards in person and check out the two stamp sets she used.


Bette cut out the frames from My Mind's Eye Chalk Studio 6 x 6"paper pad. She used the stamps from Favorite and colored using gelatos and blending the colors together. We hope you enjoyed seeing how you can use these stamp sets in more uses than one! Check back next week to see how DT Member Lauren used a Memory Box stamp in three different ways. Have a great weekend!
