HALLOWEEN Designs??? with Martha Stewart's Scroll Heart Deep Edger Punch

Hello everyone!

Yes, you read it correctly...Halloween designs!  Take a look!

I started out with halloweeny colors: orange card stock, lemon and black glitter card stock.  I punched the scroll heart border and cut off the hearts. (Save them for later!  Did you see my post with heart designs?) 

This first picture is of the border without the hearts.  It looks very pretty.  Doesn't it look like lemon glitter pumpkins?  It reminds me of Cinderella's carriage.  The Halloween colors add to the halloween feel.

I added the same border in black glitter.  I slid the top border so that the lemon yellow glitter would just show underneath.  Do you see what I see?  BATS! PUMPKINS! SPIDERS!  Oh my!

Bats: Look inside the "pumpkin".  You should be able to see an orange bat.  The yellow and black glitter card stock outline the bat. 
Spiders: Look between the pumpkins.  The spider has two legs and is looking at you!

I like this border and decided to see what it looked like with two of them.  (The spiders look more like masks now.)

I added back the hearts in black glitter.  This would be good for a themed card like "black heart" or something.  Gold hearts would look good too.

I punched a complete border at the top of my orange card stock and added the black glitter card stock back in.  It looks ok but I think that the orange border takes away from the black glitter design. What do you think?

I hope you enjoyed my early Halloween designs.  I bet you never thought you could use the Scroll Heart Border punch for Halloween!

Come back soon...I have cards next!

Scroll Heart Designs with Martha Stewart's Scroll Heart Deep Edger Punch(Kaarten met scroll heart punch)

Hi everyone!  Happy Independence Day to everyone!  Be safe out there!

Today I would like to share some designs with the heart portion of the scroll heart! 

To get my pieces, I chose my paper, punched the border and then cut out the hearts.  This is actually very easy to do with a small pair of sharp scissors.  The papers I am working with are from the DCWV line.  I am using lemon glitter and black glitter card stock.  Martha's punch works well with these glittered papers even though its an intricate pattern!

I started out with four hearts together and then added a couple.  Pretty!  I can imagine this as a center piece of a card.

I added some more hearts and this is what I ended up with.  Another really pretty center that would look great on a square card.

 I decided to change the color of some of the hearts and this is what I got.  Very pretty.

 I decided to see what other designs I could get and started with this line of upside down hearts.

I decided to add some more hearts and alternate them.

I thought this angled pattern looked good.

I added these lemon hearts to see what it would look like if I didnt follow the pattern.  There are possibilities here!

I am a fan of Lace (pronounced lay-SAY).  This is a European technique of cutting and weaving paper together.  I thought "well, let's try it with these hearts".

I thought the other was ok but I wanted to change it up so I ended up with this.

Because I am so geometrically oriented, I wanted to fill my page with hearts...so I did.

 I liked the diamond that was created by putting two hearts together so I put all my hearts that way.

Whew!  There are SO MANY possibilities just for the hearts that I could fill up pages with designs.  I hope that you take out your punch and start playing with the designs!  You never know what you will get!

Come back later for more inspiration!
