Happy Haunting

 Hi bloggers!  I selected a piece of cobalt blue card and used the Pearl Whisper Airless Mister across the background.  I used a heat tool to dry it thoroughly.  I cut the Haunted House with a piece of black card on top and a piece of yellow card underneath the black card.  This way, it cut out the entire haunted house but only the outline of the haunted house on the yellow piece.  I glued the two pieces together and attached it atop a hill I created by cutting a piece of grey card.  I cut the Spooky Tree in black and attached it next to the house.  Under the house on the card, I added a cemetary of odd headstones  and I used the mummy from the Halloween Frame there too.  I cut the Happy Haunting sentiment and the moon to add at the top of the card.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 8"  x  8 1/2"  in size.  All for now.

Haunted House

Hi there crafters!  The next die on offer is the Haunted House.  This set has seven dies in it including the house, three small ghosts, a flying witch, a moon and several bats. The large Trick or Treat sentiment is one from  Jamie's collection.  Notice the pumpkins?  They are part of the frame from the previous post.  What Halloween collection would be complete without a scary haunted house!  Is this one singing to you?  You just need to leave a comment on this post and your name will be entered into the drawing to win this die.  I have also added the Pinterest button on the bottom of every post so feel free to pin any of the samples or dies to save for later inspiration.  The next post will be along at 3pm today.  All for now, Sue x

Trick Or Treat

 Hello bloggers!  I started with a piece of Deep Navy card and I used some Golden Glow Gilding Polish randomly swiped across the card to give the feeling of an eerie sky.  I cut a giant yellow circle and used a semi dry smoothie and swiped across it with Golden Sunrise Pearlescent watercolour ink.  I cut the Haunted House with a piece of black card on top and a piece of deep yellow on the bottom.  This cuts out the Haunted House completely but just cuts the outer line on the yellow card.  I then used it as a backing behind the house to show through the windows.  I attached the house in the lower corner with a couple of the small ghosts coming out the windows.  I cut the pumpkins from the Halloween Frame in the same manner, black card on top, yellow underneath the black, then used it to back the pumpkins to show off their faces.  I attached them in the lower left corner with mounting foam.  I cut Jamie's Trick Or Treat sentiment in black and glued it on to the moon with the flying witch next to it.  I added a bunch of bats cut from gloss black card and glued them to the side of the moon.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7 3/4"  x  8 3/4"  in size.  All for now, Sue x

Happy Halloween

 Hello spooky friends!  I used the House Front Shaped die released earlier in the year for today's card.  I cut the house out of slate grey card and added black roofs to it.  I added a piece of pale yellow card behind the windows and added small ghosts from the Haunted House die set in three of the windows.  I cut a couple of pieces of brown card and attached them crisscrossed over the centre window for a more haunted look.  Several bats were added to the roof and lower window.  I cut a large pale yellow circle and added it in the corner with the small flying witch and part of the spider's web too.   I cut Jamie's spooky tree die in black and glued it to the purple background next to the house.  I added some distressed gravestones around it as well as a few pumpkins from the Halloween frame.  Several pieces of the spooky gate were added in front of the house. Lastly, I added one of the Ghoulish Ghosts, cut in vellum for a more ghostly look, in the upper corner.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 8 1/4"  x  9 1/2"  in size.  All for now, Sue x

Happy Haunting

Hi bloggers!  I have used the Halloween Frame again as the base for this card.  I cut it in black, then nipped away the pumpkins in the lower corner.  I selected a piece from my background stash to use as a background.  I used Lava Red and  Burnt Orange Pixie Powders on it.  I cut the Haunted House in black and added a yellow backing to show through the windows.  I glued the Haunted House on to the background then added the frame over it with mounting foam. I cut just the mummy from the Halloween frame in white and then used Weathered Wood Distress ink to age him, then glued him on top of the original.   I cut several of Jamie's Graveyard gates and added some crows (or ravens) to it.  I cut the divider columns in the gate pieces in slate grey card and glued them on top.  I added several bats cut out of black gloss card as well as the Happy Haunting sentiment, which I glued to the top of the frame.  The card was completed with white and black mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 6 3/4"  x  8"  in size.  All for now.

Trick Or Treat

 Hello there my crafty friends!  I used a piece of pixied card from my background stash for today's card.  I used Olive Green, Teal Marine and Midnight Blue Pixie Powders on the piece.  I cut the Haunted House die out of black and glued it to the background.  I cut a circle of yellow card and tucked it under the corner of the house and glued it in place.  Using The Trick Or Treaters die set, I cut all three of the characters.  I cut the ghost in white and used a marker for the feet and pumpkin.  I cut both the witch and the devil out of milk card and used markers to colour the rest of the bodies.  I added all three in the lower corner and cut the Trick Or Treat sentiment from the Frankie's Frame die set and glued it in the middle of the card.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7 3/4"  x  8 1/4"  in size.  All for now, Sue x

Boo To You!

Good Sunday morning all!  I selected a piece of soft grey card to use for the background.  To give it an eerie feel, I swiped  a black distress ink pad across it, then used an old yellow pigment pad (it was almost dry) and then finished with an old Snow Cap pigment ink pad. I used a round die and cut a large moon out of black gloss card and glued it to the upper right corner.   I cut the Skeleton Frame in black and cut it to extend it (without actually extending it), but I glued the pieces into the left and right corners, removing the very top part of it.  I cut the Haunted House die in black and glued a yellow backing behind it.  I added that to cover the cut skeleton frame area.  I added two bats cut from black gloss card above it.  I used the Boo To You sentiment from the same named frame and cut it in black and shadowed it with a white die cut, then glued it to the middle of the card.  The card was completed using white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 6 1/4"  x  9 1/4"  in size.
