Summerween Series 2026: Raven's Tale Cards, Tag and 3D Gable Box!
The Raven's Tale Stamp Set is now available as part of the July 2026 Online Exclusives release. I will be combining the Frightfully Fun Suite along with Phrases & Frame Dies for today's Summerween projects.
Stamp raven in Versamark ink directly onto the gable box (large panel). I recommend using the anti-static tool before stamping on box.
TIP: Turn your Stampin' Positioner into vertical position to accommodate the length of the gabe box.
Sprinkle black heat emboss powder over image and heat set with heat tool. Repeat this on other side of box. Just make sure you give a minute for the heat emboss to cool down and dry. If you are doing a whole set of gable boxes in this theme I recommend using the Stampin' Positioner to make this more efficient.
NOTE: The raven is a large stamp. It measures 3" from beak to feet and diagonally it measures 3-1/2" from head to tail feathers.
Gable Boxes are part of the Frightfully Fun Suite but can be purchased separately as well
GABLE BOX
To decorate your gable box you'll need (1) Phrases & Frame *largest frame* die cut and (2) Frightfully Fun DSP panels measuring 2-3/8 x 3-3/8" and glue to DSP panels to either side of gable box.
Cut up the Phrases and Frames Die Cut (in Basic Black) so (2) strips measure 4" and (2) measure 2-1/2" Glue as border along bottom of gable box.
Stamp "Happy" and "Halloween" from the Raven's Tale stamp set in Versamark ink on the Pumpkin Pie Oval Die Cut (also from Phrases and Frames) and heat set in black as well.
Use (2) magical swirl die cuts in Basic Black on either side of the oval and place next to the raven on the gable box.
OPTIONAL: If you have Festive Cheer Dies use the pine branch as a feather die cut! You'll cut (2) in black cardstock and glue to the top panels of gable box.
THE CARDS
This card uses the corner stamp from Raven's Tale Card Base: Basic Black 5-1/2 x 8-1/2" Score: 4-1/4"
Die cut Phrases & Frames (largest die) in Pumpkin Pie and Very Vanilla. The process for stamping the raven with the Stampin' Positioner is the same with both cards.
Also for both cards you'll ink directly from Versamark pad to the frame all over it. You can be messy. Sprinkle with the black heat emboss powder and heat set both frames and ravens.
For the card with the corner stamp, I recommend stamping the corners first and then stamping the raven. You'll put the raven on your large positioner plate. You'll use the narrow plate for the corner stamp.
Use the "v" notch at the top center of positioner base to place your panel. The panel you are using is the insert rectangle from the largest Phrases & Frames die. Use your narrow plate vertically along the spokes at the top of positioner to keep aligned. Place corner stamp (clean and dry) in position on the corner of cardstock and then pick up with narrow plate. Ink it with Versamark and stamp all four corners by rotating the rectangle after each stamp. Continue with heat embossing in black.
Because this stamp is very detailed with thin lines I recommend heat setting the powder from the back. This way you do not lose any powder or details. This heat tool has two settings (1 and 2 or low and high) I like to use the high "2" setting but that may be too powerful for this delicate image. You can use the low setting if you want if you prefer to heat set from the front.
This card uses the Nevermore stamp from Raven's Tale Card Base: Very Vanilla 5-1/2 x 8-1/2" Score: 4-1/4"
The measurements and steps are the same for the Very Vanilla version of the card with the exception of no corner stamping. On this card, I used the Iridescent Black ribbon to create a bold frame around the image.
By heat embossing these fabulously detailed impressions dies it gives a gothic, weathered look to your Summerween cards!
THE TAG
Use the Oh My Fright Tag Die for this project. This comes in the Oh My Fright Bundle or Frightfully Fun Suite.
Use white cardstock and Frightfully Fun DSP for the tag. For the DSP just a strip is fine. It's only for the top of tag above the frame. You'll use the middle size frame in Pumpkin Pie cardstock.
Stamp your raven on the tag centered. Heat set like the other projects. Use a tree die cut from Oh My Fright in Basic Black. Turn sideways to use as a perch for the raven. Trim off the excess branches. Tuck one of the trimmed off branches in the upper corner of tag. Adhere frame with foam strips or dimensionals.
Add black dots from embellishments in the Frightfully Fun Suite (Bats Ghosts and Dots Embellishments). Use black iridescent ribbon for tag and tie a bow.
NOTE: For the video I only decorated one side of the tag and I did not a sentiment. I plan to add a tag to back as well and add a sentiment later. I was short on time for the video!
I hope you enjoyed today's Summerween card and project ideas!
