Halloween With a Sleigh Ride!

When I am shopping for products I want to buy things that I can get multiple uses from (don’t we all!) but this can be tricky when looking at Christmas themed goodies. I have been really enjoying making Christmas cards using the Sleigh Ride Edgelit dies, but I knew that they could be so versatile. I have great plans for these (so hoping that they will still be here in January, is it too early to be thinking of retiring products!) but I thought I would start with an event that is a little nearer – Halloween

With both scenes cut from a single piece of Basic Black card stock, I played around with placement until I was happy with the line of the trees, and considered sticking everything down and calling this one done. But I wanted the little housed to be ‘lit up’ but the orange card stock behind, and with an orange sky the effect wasn’t quite right. Cut a piece of Very Vanilla with the houses edgelit, and added the negative space to the top of the card so that the only orange is coming through the windows of the cute houses. Much better

Although there are loads of really lovely spooky Halloween items in this years Autumn / Winter catalogue, its not something that really jumps out at me so the only sentiment I have is from the A Little Something Stamp Set – I think this may be the most used set in my collection at the moment – with Trick or Treat stamped in Basic Black on Very Vanilla punched with the 1 3/8″ circle punch and a little extra Orange added with a Tangerine Tango Stampin’ Write Marker

I think you could totally re-create this for Christmas, or even a winter birthday, What do you think?

Fancy Fold Friday – Halloween Card in a Box!

Happy Halloween!

and Happy Fancy Fold Friday!

This week I thought I would knock things up a gear and give you a card in a box!

I love these cards! When I’ve made them for people, everyone is always stunned by them!

Isnt it fab!

Ok, So the measurements for this fab project:

Cardstock = 9 x 5 inches (23 x 13 cm) and two pieces measuring 3 x 2″ (8 x 5cm)

DSP = 4 3/4 x 1 7/8″ (12 x 4 1/2cm), 4 pieces that measure 2 x 2 1/8″ (5 x 5.2cm) and 3 pieces that measure 2 x 2 5/8″ (5 x 6.5cm)

Score the Cardstock on the short edge at 2 3/4″ (7cm) and on the long side at 2 1/8″, 4 1/4″, 6 3/8″ and 8 1/2″ (thats every 5.2cm!)

I’ve used Tangelo Twist (I LOVE that orange!) and Flashback DSP for this box, and have fussy cut the images from the Tee-Hee-Hee stamp set for the embellishments! (how cute are those bats!) All the stamping is done using Staz-on Ink

Check the video for full instructions!

Happy Halloween!

Well, almost!

I have a card for you today! and something slightly different – a 6 x 6″ square card!

Ok, So, this card is made from half a sheet of 12×12 Whisper White cardstock, folded to make a 6 x 6 card base.

The DSP (Motley Monsters!) is cut to 5 3/4 x 5 3/4″, with that lovely Burmuda Bay star print piece cut to 5 3/4 x 2″. I have then stamped the Bats from Tee-Hee-Hee and the sentiment from Good Greetings in Staz-on Ink – to get that true Black!

Then we get to the “pom pom”. Now, I followed a YouTube tutorial to make a Bakers Twine pom pom for this – but really, its nothing like a pom pom! I dont know if I just didnt have enough twine, or if I’ve make some sort of mistake along the way, but this is what I have! I actually quite like it! It means though, that this is definitely a ‘hand deliver’ sort of card!

To create the ‘Pom Pom’:

I took a length of Thick Bakers Twine (this one is White and Tangerine Tango!) and wrapped it around 3 of my fingers. Tied the middle together with white bakers twine, and snipped all the ends. I’ve attached it to the card with some more Thick Bakers Twine, and covered the tied middle with a fussy cut Bat!

Hope you like the card for today – check out the blog of Friday for a super cool Fancy Fold Friday Halloween Card!
