Today I’m a guest designer for the Crescent Creation “Nuts About You” August 2021 New Release! I’m so excited that Neha invited me to try another of her digital kits and share the project with you.
I love the digital stamp set that I’m using for today’s project (these little pumpkins are so cute!) and I’m using this opportunity to start this years Halloween Series!
Introducing Crescent Creation
Neha has had an Etsy Shop for a while and has taken the next big step and started a website and blog. We are all so happy for her achievements that we are participating in this blog/YouTube hop to help get the word out!
Check out how I used the Crescent Creation “Nuts About You” August 2021 New Release Digital Stamp for my project.
Since this is a digital stamp set, I used a few different software programs, apps and/or websites to get the look I wanted to work with.
First, I used Windows Photos to crop the individual images. The set comes ready to print as one full page, and each image has a transparent background…which saves you some editing if you want to layer your images like I did!
Next, opened the pirate hat in Windows Paint.
Why? Because I wanted to “fill in” the colored portion of the hat so that it would print black. And that was so super easy to do in Windows Paint with the paint bucket tool.
After that was done, I opened up Microsoft word (you’ve probably guessed it by now… I have a PC. If you have a Mac or do your editing on a tablet or phone, you should have access to some similar software. Use what you have) to arrange all of my images.
But the hat no longer has a transparent background.
No problem. I went to https://www.remove.bg/ and dropped in (click and drag) the image. This one worked perfectly without me needing to do anything additional. But if it didn’t, you could just click “edit” and correct anything you need. This is a great site for removing most backgrounds. More complicated ones may need something more (Like GIMP, which is free too).
Now I can place the hat on top of one of the pumpkins. 😁
After arranging my pumpkins in Microsoft word, I printed them on my Laser Printer (along with a few of the “BOO!” sentiment.
Why use the laser printer… I want to do toner foiling!

For the background on my card, I used one of the Distress Oxide Spray Backgrounds that I created during this week’s LiveStream… Ok. I may have used some other sprays too.
