CWLC #60 Halloween

Created With Love Challenges

Halloween

This week is all about 

Halloween.

Our sponsor this week is....

This was inspired by a card I saw online.

I thought I bookmarked it 

but I didn't.

So I ended up winging this one on my own.

I used Digi Darla's,

She Devil.

Here is the front of the card.

The patterned paper came out of my scrap drawer.

I have a huge drawer full of patterned paper 

that is left over from previous projects.

I need to hit that drawer more before looking at 

whole sheets of paper.

The spider wed is from 

SVG Cuts...

its called Spider web corner.  

The big spider and pumpkin are from JoAnn's.
The 'holes' in the spider have Crystal Stickles
and the pumpkins eyes and mouth are Diamond Black Stickles.
I don't recall where I got the sentiment.

Now for the inside of the card.

The house and front piece are SVGs cut on my Cricut...
Can't recall where from....it was before I started making sure
the name was listed with the file.
 The coffin is from
Digital Delights.
The moon is simply a circle cut on the Cricut.
The image is She Devil,
from Digi Darla.
I colored the image with
Copics
E000, E00, E33, R20, R29, 100
and a gold gel pen.

I made the card so when folded it would be 1.25" thick so it could accommodate the coffin.
The lid of the coffin comes off and candy can be added!!

A Halloween Card

This card is a 

Halloween card

and it is 

Just Because.

As you may know,

I have been doing the weekly bargain image

at 

Digital Delights.

This image,

Boiling in the Pot,

was week 1's bargain image.

Well when I saw week 2's image,

I took the project in a different direction.

See I am simply coloring the images 

each week.  

I have no idea what the next week's image will be.

So here I have this image,

already colored.

And I love what I did with it.

So the plan is to make into a card...

and then see what challenges it might work in. 

Something I haven't done before.  

Ok so here is the card.....

I colored the image with...

Copics

BV13, C8, C7, E000, E00, E33, E37, R20, Y17, YG09, YG17, YG97

and a Gold Gel Pen.  

With a bit of Glossy Accents on the bubbles

and Green Stickles on the suds.  

I printed the image twice 

and colored the frog again

and used pop dots to give him 

just a bit of a pop off the image.  

The patterned paper is from

Recollections,

Haunted Manor Paper Pad.

The flat back black and orange pearls are from 

Recollections.

The sentiment is also from

Digital Delights...

Spooky Sayings Sentiment Set.  

No card would be complete 

without the matching envelope.

The purchase of my 

We R Memories,

Envelope Punch Board,

was the best purchase 

EVER!!  

It's Friday...Digital Delight's Bargain Image!!!

Digital Delights

Second Friday of the Month

Bargain Image

I am doing these images as they come out.

So I don't know what the next image is.

And as much as I love the way I did last week's image,

this week's image just isn't gonna work 

with the way I colored last week's image.  

This week's image is

Weenie Globe .

Digital Delights' images

come in both 

JPG and PNG.

So I decided to merge 

last week's and this week's images,

using the PNGs.

This is just the image.  It won't be made into a card till the end of the month.
And who know before the end of the month I might change my mind
and do something else with it....
just as I have last week's image.

I colored the images with my Copic Markers.

 100, BV13,C5, C7, E000, E00, E25, E33, E37, R20, Y13, Y17, YG09

And my white, silver and gold gel pen.

I cut the image out.

Then put it through the Xyron, so it would have a sticky back.

Then I used Glossy Accents to the globe.

How to make a TeePee Card

The other day I saw a TeePee card.

AMAZING.

Its a card, yet 

its a decoration!!  

Sit it on a shelf or table

and  instant home deco!!

So I went in search of how to make one.

It is so much easier than it looks.

Here is the first one I made,

using digi's from 

Digital Delights',

Halloween Kiddles Value Set.

 To make this card,

also known as a great Halloween Decoration,

you need

• 12" x 12" black cardstock
• 12" x 12" patterned paper
• 3 images
• closure (I used kool tak Hook and Loop)
• tape (what every you normally use to assemble cards)
• embellishmens
• Scoring tool...I use a Scor-Pal

First you need to cut your black paper, 

so you have 3 pieces, measuring 6" x 6".

(Yeap you will have a 6" x 6" piece leftover).

Note...you can make this smaller or bigger...

just make sure all 3 pieces are the same size. 

Score each of the 3 pieces on the diagonal and fold.

Cut your patterned paper so you have 2 pieces,

5 3/4" x 5 3/4'.

(You always want to be 1/4" smaller 

than your solid piece of card stock)

Cut each piece on the diagonal.  

(yeap, you will have one left over)

Adhere your patterned paper to one side of a solid paper.

\I have found it is best to lay the next piece out 

before you put the patterned paper on.

Then adhere the pieces together.

Put the third piece in place and adhere

 Add the patterned paper.

You can always fold it up to make sure you have the pieces correct.

Add a closure.
In the one above, I used 2 closures.
It really only needs one.

Then embellish.

The patterned paper for both TeePees is from
K&Company,
TC Halloween and Fall Pad.

The embellishments are from
a Halloween Bling Swap
from years ago. 

Hope you have found this tutorial useful.
