Spooktacular Greetings!

Happy Friday, friends!   Today, I am over on the Eyelet Outlet Blog sharing this fun card that I created.  If you caught our Crafty Fun w/Friends episode last weekend, you saw us create different versions of the Split Window Fold.  This was actually my prototype that I created to make sure that I didn't completely bomb it while we were live. 

I wanted to squeak in one more Halloween card before I ran out of time so I colored up this cute witch image from the Kindred Stamps Journey Home stamp set (colors below), cut her out and set her aside.   Even though the stamp set is really geared towards fans of those pesky, flying monkeys, I thought this image was perfect for Halloween! 

I started with a black card base and paired it with some fun patterned papers.  I determined where I wanted the aperture to be, and I taped the papers down to the card base, laid the die down and ran it through my die-cutting machine.  Before adhering the patterned papers to the card front, I laid down some Glitter Black Washi Tape to the edges to add a point of interest.  I love adding washi tape, because it is a super easy way to add trim and dimension.  

I added a panel of white cardstock to the inside panel of the card, and I die-cut some additional circles to fill in the aperture, followed by the witch.  Because the left side of the top panel is glued shut (think Book-Fold Card), it is OK for the image to overlap the left side.

I heat embossed my sentiment in black and I layered the panel on some orange glitter cardstock.  I added the Mini Candy Corn Brads and a Witch Hat Brad to add some additional dimension.   Lastly, I added a loopy bow made of sparkly, black bakers twine.

Colors Used:

Skin - G99, YG67, YG63, YG00, R20

Hair/Hat Band/Cape - V09, V06, V05

Hat/Dress - C9, C7, C5, C3, C1

Broom - E18, E15, E13, E29, E27, E25I had so much fun creating this card and I was amazed at how easy it really was!  

Thanks so much for stopping by!

I've Fallen In and Can't Get Out!

Hello and Happy Friday, friends!  I am over on the Eyelet Outlet Blog today sharing a FUN Halloween Card that I made for a friend!  

I stuck with a very simple color palette for the card so that my focal image would really stand out!  I paired some shimmery black cardstock, orange cardstock and my favorite pattern from the Kat Scrappiness Creepy & Kooky 6 x 6 Paper Pad.  I inked the edges of the paper before I adhered anything down.

I made a cauldron using my Cricut and set it aside.  I die-cut a few hexagons using the Stitched Nesting Hexagon Dies from Kat Scrappiness and before I glued them down, I adhered the cauldron to the front, and added the Witch Leg Brads and Witch Hat Brad from Eyelet Outlet.  Once they were in place, I adhered the black hexagon to the card front, and then I popped the orange hexagon up with foam dots, which allowed room for the brads at the back.   I added a sentiment and I finished my card by adding a smattering of Jewel Green Swirl Bling from Eyelet Outlet.  I love the swirl bling because they are super versatile.  You can use them as intended - which is an adhesive backed swirl made of a bunch of beautiful jewels - OR - you can separate the jewels and add them as individual embellishments, which is what I did.
