Halloween Unity

I made it back into my craft room! Busy craziness lately! I started working at Michael's, and sometimes it kicks my butt! I have to get back in the swing of things ;) So here's my creation of the day!

I made a gate-fold card for a Unity World Card Making Day Challenge.

I combined two challenges. One was to make a Halloween card. The other was to dry emboss the base using colored core cardstock. I didn't want it on the outside, so it's inside. 

I stamped the broom and witch hat on the front. I then stamped them on white c/s and colored them with Copics. I cut them out and attached them over the stamped images. 

I wanted it to look like big doors, so I colored these clear rhinestones with a black Copics and attached them like door handles.

The swirls on the sides are rub-ons.

 Below is the inside of the card. I love it! It's like a little surprise. I embossed it in my Cuttlebug, then sanded it lightly to bring out the detail. So creepy! 

 Thank you for stopping in! 

Have a fantastic day!

My Unity Place Halloween Card

I know it's a little early, but I won this Itty Bitty and I had to use it right away!

I used the sketch from My Unity Place's challenge.

 

The paper is from Making Memories Spellbound and The Girls Paperie Toil and Trouble. The swirls were punched out of some textured paper that was given to me as a gift. The punch is from EK Success.

The die cut was cut using a Nestability. I sponged it with Tim Holtz Distress Ink. The orange is from the ribbon. It was white seam binding that was sprayed with Pumpkin Pie Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist. While it was still wet I dabbed it on the die cut. I thought it left some interesting texture.

The stamp is part of the Itty Bitty set, Witching Hour.

 I added some black rhinestones for a little pop :)

Thanks for stopping by!

Have a fantastic day!

Halloween Card (before it's over)

Here is another Halloween card before Halloween is over. I used the Spellbound set from Making Memories. The base is stamped with BOO and the pumpkin border across the bottom. The image was stamped, then cut out by hand very carefully. The orange layer behind it was trimmed by hand also. The bat is adhered to the card on the body only, with the wings curved for some dimension. The 3-D bat was stamped on black cs and covered with black Stickles. The other bat is also covered with stickles. I picked up the ribbon at Michaels last week. Great ribbon with a little purple in it.
Thanks for looking!

Inki Halloween

I love Inkadinkado Stamps. I had to ink this one up after it sat for a week or so.


I sponged black around the edge of the card. I used SU Pumpkin Pie CS. I stamped the row of spiders across the bottom. The other cardstock I used is SU Elegant Eggplant and black. I stamped the web in SU craft white, then embossed in Irridescent Ice EP. I love it that the white made it show up and it has that sparkle. The flowers are from the Prima Bucket of Blooms. The flowers are all white and I stamped spiders on 2 of them. I rubbed my black, pumpkin pie, and elegant eggplant pads across the flowers. One flower has a black brad for the center, another one an orange rhinestone. The bigger flower has a big brad that was a dull silver. That would not do. Using my tweezers, I dabbed the head of the brad on a Versamark pad, then dipped it in black EP. After heating it I quickly dunked it in the black again. After heating it a second time I quickly dipped it in Irridescent Ice EP. That gave it a cool effect, perfect for Halloween! I did kind of the same thing for the spider on the web. I really struggled with that spider. I didn't want to put it on the CS like I did, but I had to do something to make it show up. I stamped the spider in versamark, then poured on the black EP. After heating it I quickly dumped some Irridescent Ice on it so I could get the same effect as with the brad. I used the ticket punch on the corners and added some orange rhinestones. I really like this card!
Have a graet day!
