Witchy Poo to You

Here is another card I made when I made the Boo Kitty card and posted it on Wednesday.  You can see it HERE.  Mostly just using up some scraps, but look what you can do with scraps!


I like the brick background with this.  Gives it a base to go with, dark and creepy.


Thank you for looking in today!  Happy Saturday!

Quick and Easy Treat Pouch

Since most of the Halloween Cards are made, I decided to use some of my fun Spooky Night Designer Series Papers.


You've all seen these online I imagine, so this will be a quick tutorial on folding.

 Begin with a piece of 6" x 6" paper:


Fold diagonally to make a tri-angle:


 Fold down one corner to the bottom of the fold:

With that still folded down, fold each side over lining up the open part of the fold with the folded down corner:


Unfold the sides pieces...


then fold the top fold down over the flaps:

Decorate and fill with goodies!  For the candy corn bag I used the 2" x 8" Cellophane Bag and cut it down to a size that would fit and tied it off with Black Thick Bakers Twine.


Here is how I got the "odd" shape for the small sentiment.  Punch a piece of Pumpkin Pie with the Pretty Label after stamping "eat at your own risk".  Then slide it back into the punch and punch again as shown.  I did it again with Very Vanilla but I couldn't get a clear picture! 


Here is a close-up so you can see it better.




Thank you for looking in today!  It's finally Friday!  Wooo Hooo!

Have a great weekend!

Boo Kitty

This past weekend I was working on using up some of my scraps that were just begging to be put to use and came up with the following card.

Since two of the three pieces of paper were scraps, you may have to use your imagination on measurements.  


Recipe:
Basic Black - 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored and folded at 4 1/4"
Spooky Night Designer Series Paper - any size
Paper Pumpkin - any size that works for the stamps you want!

Actually, I would measure for you, but I've already put the card in an envelope to mail off with some others for a customer.   

The basic black was run through the Big Shot with the Brick Wall embossing folder.



I just love this kitty from Spooky Cat.  Looks even better with shiny rhinestone eyes.  The kitty can also be punched out with the Cat Punch that comes with as a bundle with Spooky Cat.


Thank you for looking in today.  Happy Hump Day!

Fall on the Outside...

... and Halloween on the Inside!

I had a couple of extra Seasonal Chums pumpkins and it popped into my head that I could make a spinning pumpkin with Fall on one side and Halloween on the other.  This is the same directions as used on the "Check This Out" post.  So I won't repeat the instructions, but if you get confused, just let me know and I'll help all I can.


Recipe:
Pumpkin Pie - 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored and folded at 4 1/4"
Spooky Night Designer Series Paper - 5 1/4" x 4"
Very Vanilla - 5 1/4" x 4"

Cut a circle in the front of your card and the DSP at the same time.  Then line up the Very Vanilla behind the front cover, make a light pencil mark and then cut the same circle in the Very Vanilla using the Layering Circles die of your choice.  I decided I wanted the Pumpkin Pie color to show through, or the spinning pumpkin seemed to disappear on the Vanilla.


Run a piece of Gold Metallic Thread between the front and back of your pumpkin using Tear and Tape for strong hold.

BEFORE YOU PLACE YOUR PUMPKIN... be sure you have the side facing forward that you want forward.

With the card open and the front of the card facing up, line up your pumpkin with thread in the center and I prefer to use scotch tape to hold the thread in place, so I can run my bone folder along the edge of the thread to be sure it's good and tight.  Pull the bottom so it is also tight with the pumpkin able to spin in the middle.


Place your DSP (Designer Series Paper) over the cover making sure the hole is lined up and your edges are straight.


Place your Very Vanilla inside also making sure it is lined up with the front.


To make your scallop, use the same size circle you used for the card and then find the size scallop you want around that and cut it out centering the circle inside.

I used the Mini Treat Bag Thinlits to cut out the Hello Fall from Merry Cafe.  Ink only the "Hello Fall" with markers or your ink pad.  Since the stamps are photopolymer, it is easy to see.


Thank you for looking in today.  It's MONDAY again...
