Spooky Castle Pop Up Card

Happy Monday, crafty friends!  Kris here with a super easy-to-make inside pop up card featuring dies from our Halloween Release!

Here's the inside of my card...

And here's the front...


There are 21 dies in this release and they're currently on sale with a 50% discount on the entire bundle or 30% off individual dies for a limited time ~ so hurry over to the online store to make your selections!!

I used the Spooky Halloween Castle, the Spooky KittiesSpooky Fence Mini, the Web and Graveyard for the inside of my card - and for the front, I also used Trick or Treat Phrase, and Spooky Truck (just the spider).  As always, you can click on the pictures to see them larger. ☺

Design Steps:

I started with a piece of white cardstock cut at 5-1/8" x 3-7/8".  

I made a circle stencil from a scrap piece of cardstock by die cutting the 4th largest of the Pierced Circle set from the middle of my paper and alternating the positive and negative die cuts to sponge Distress Oxide inks.  I then misted with water and let dry.  Then I spattered white paint mixed with a li'l water over the top and heat set it to dry.


I cut my card base from Granny Apple Green cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2," scored at 4-1/2" 

I layered a piece of black cardstock, 5-1/4" x 4" to the inside upper half of my card, then attached my sponged piece on top.

I cut a piece of blue patterned paper at 5-1/4" x 3-1/4" and attached to the lower inside half of card. (see photo below for placement) 

I computer-generated my sentiment onto white cardstock, then cut it to 4-3/4" x 2-3/4".  I sponged the edges with Rich Razzleberry ink and centered it onto the blue patterned paper.

I then added my black silhouette tree and web to my inked layer before adding the mechanism as it will cover up part of the tree.


Now to make our POP UP feature!  

I cut a piece of black cardstock at 5-1/2" x 3-1/2" and then with the short edge along top of score board, I scored at 3/4", 1-1/2", 2-1/4", and 3".  Then I added tape to the last 1/2" piece and attached the other end to it to make a long box!


To add it inside my card, I added tape to the bottom side of my box and laid it down so it's just up to the score line w/out going over it.  (see photo below)

Then, I added tape to the adjacent side that will be attached to the "Back".  Then I closed my card front down over it and pressed.  Easy Peasy!!


I created a smaller pop up box to give dimension to the gravestone by cutting a pc. of black cardstock at 3/4" x 2-1/2" and scored it at 1/2", 1", 1-1/2" and 2" then folded score lines and attached the ends. I glued it in place by pressing it up against the inside back (blue) part and down.  Then I added the gravestone to the front section with glue.


And then I added all my elements as pictured  ☺



For the front, I cut a piece of rainbow glittered cardstock at 5-1/4" x 4".  Then added my die cuts and made them pop a li'l with a white gel pen... and DONE!!  ☺

Boo!

First, I apologize for the funky coloring in my scan - it happens when the lumpy parts stitch into the non-lumpy parts so I can't really do anything about that aside from not making lumpy projects, which is not going to happen. I love me some foam tape! LOL And now, on to this week's project.

This week I'm sharing a layout of my simple Halloween pumpkin. I like to do something different with my pumpkin every year, and this time, I decided to paint my pumpkin instead of carving it. I added black vinyl accents and a green wire to the stem, and there you have it. I love it.

I used the Cottage Cutz pumpkin trio and stamp set along with leaves and vine from the pumpkin patch die for my 3D embellishment.


Here I've used the scallop/dot edger and bling accents.

and for a little something extra, I used the bitsy little spider from the Cottage Cutz spooky fence to "hang" from the ribbon. I heat embossed him with clear powder to give him more texture and dimension after I added white to his eyes. He's barely visible in the photo of the whole layout, but he's there. :)

Have you started scrapping your Halloween pics yet? Thanksgiving is just around the corner!

Happy Halloween!

I hope you're staying warm where you are. With fall officially here, the temps have dropped considerably here in the high desert of Eastern Washington and I'm even wearing slippers in the house! GASP! It may not sound like a big deal, but I'm a year-round barefoot kinda gal and my feet have been freezing the past few days on these hardwood floors! But I digress... the reason for my fall lead-in is this card :)

I've used the pumpkin trio, minus their face stamps, for this glittery fall card. For the pretty corner flourishes, I used the vine stamp that comes with the trio die.


I added vines and leaves from the pumpkin patch die and the grass from the spooky fence. Cute, huh!



For my final project this week, another treat container! If I had a whole house for a storage unit, I could fill it with containers. I'm a container-holic {Nikki - no comment from you, hoarder-watcher! LOL) K, so anyway, this container, as you can see, is Queen and Co.

I took it apart to make a template...
...and traced it onto my double-sided paper
On the inside, I made my score lines and marked where my tabs and slots would be.
Fold, adhere and punch holes in the sides for my ribbon handle, and now I'm ready to embellish.
The adorable little witch on her broom makes a super cute little treat sweetie, doesn't she!
Add stickles - cuz everyone loves bling, even witches, don't you know....

...and a tag for giving. Here I used one of the pumpkins from the pumpkin trio and slipped the ribbon handle through one of the slots.

You still have a few days yet till Halloween if you want to make treat bags. You can use most any container as a template to make your own, or just grab a lunch bag and start embellishing! Pretty much anything will work....as long as it's got candy in it, right!? :) Happy Halloween!
