Hello and welcome back to my blog! Today I am hopping with some friends on Instagram for the October 2022 Instahop. We are an international group of stamping friends and the theme for September is ' 3D and/or Halloween'.

Click this link to visit my Instagram page HERE to hop around to each participant.

For my card today, I used the Apple Harvest, Cottage Wreaths and Clever Cats (retired) stamp sets. I combined it with the Black & White Designs DSP, Metallic & Shimmer Specialty Paper, Stars Treat Bags and coloured the images with Stampin' Blends.

Instructions:

- Use Basic Black A4 card cut in half lengthwise and folded for the card base and layer with a piece of Black and White Designs DSP. Cut one of the Stars Treat Bags to use the front as a layer and mat a piece of the Metallic & Shimmer Specialty Paper. Use Gorgeous Grape and Pumpkin Pie inks and apply onto the Treat Bag with a Blending Brush.

- Stamp apples from the Apple Harvest stamp set, spiders from the Cottage Wreaths stamp set and the sentiment from the Clever Cats (retired) using Tuxedo Black and Gorgeous Grape respectively. Colour the apple images with Stampin' Blends (Parakeet Party, Sweet Sorbet, Pumpkin Pie, Blackberry Bliss and Basic Black). Apply some Glossy Accents to make the dipped apples shine and appear more realistic.

- Add some Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels coloured with Sweet Sorbet Stampin' Blends to the spiders to give them a jewelled red back imitating an Australian Redback Spider (Australia black widow spider).
