Supplies I used at the Uniquely Whidbey Biz Expo 2010

Today I thought I'd post the supplies I'm using in that little Halloween favor I'm making at the Expo this weekend, along with a few basic tips - in case you'd like to recreate it yourself. I will not be posting a picture of the project in order to maintain its exclusivity for those who visit my booth…… but these tips, along with the sample I made for you, will help you recreate it for your own friends.

In addition to these products from Stampin' Up!®, I also used a stapler and small Tootsie Roll candy.

Tips:

Your 2 score lines are 1-1/2" and 2" from the bottom of your die-cut tag. Study the detail trim around the edge of the tag to determine the "right" side of your tag; fold on your score lines so that the "right" side will be the outside. Staple your black scallop circle on the back side (inside) of your tag - placing the smooth side of the staple on the "right" side (outside) of the tag – near the top (scallop) edge.

Apply SNAIL adhesive to Pumpkin Pie circle; adhere to black scallop (covering sharp edges of staple).  Stamp raven onto Whisper White cardstock, let dry, then punch out with 1-1/4" circle punch. Apply SNAIL adhesive to back of raven, then mount to Pumpkin Pie circle.  Turn entire piece stamped-side-down onto scrap paper & rub from behind to adhere well. Apply SNAIL between fold lines; adhere Tootsie roll.

* Optionally, these cardstocks are all found in the "Getting Started" cardstock collection (120954)
