Happy Halloween Ghost Card

September 23, 2014

20140922_103243

Hello! Today’s project features a super fun and simple Halloween card using the Halloween Trio Die Set from Top Dog Dies. I usually don’t make a lot of cards for Halloween, but these die images make the process so fun! I wanted to create something simple and quick so you can easily duplicate.

The Halloween Trio Die Set has three different images and for this card I decided to focus on the ghost die image. I took out some thick white cardstock to cut two ghosts – for these I used Bazzill Marshmallow Cardstock.

Pictures don’t show it too well, but after cutting the ghost images I added a think clear embossed layer to make them shiny. I used the Clear Gloss Ultra High Embossing Powder from WOW to give this effect. It creates a nice texture on our ghost die cut pieces for more fun and interesting look. The ghost die image doesn’t cut the eyes, so I colored some pearl stickers with a black Copic marker (100) and added them on the ghost die cut pieces. I intentionally added different sized pearls so the ghost would look more funky!

Embellishments are super easy. I took out some gray baker’s twine and bundled them up to go behind of the ghost die cut pieces. These help to make the ghosts stand out more easily. I also added some white mini sequins and clear sequins from Pretty Pink Posh. I thought they would go together nicely! Sentiments are stamped with gold ink pad to give more shine to the card. If you do not have a gold ink pad, you can also heat emboss them using any gold embossing powder.

I hope you enjoyed the card for today. Thanks for stopping by!!

    Happy Holidays and for those who are celebrating, Merry Christmas- Many of us are spending today in an unusual way this year, and many of us are also remembering those we lost. I ask that you keep others in your thoughts this holiday season 💕 sending hugs and loves to your way ❤️❤️

Made cookies and cheesecake brownies for our next door neighbors who are spending today alone. I added a little touch with stamps and inks to dress up the cookie boxes 🎁

    Happy view 🥰🥰 New ink storage system for my office/studio desk. I wanted the most used inks right at my fingertips and these Alex drawers hold them perfectly. I am keeping both full sized and cubes together, along with 1 mini cube blending tool for each color family. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 #scrapsandstamps #inkstorage #craftroom #craftroomorganization #homestudio
    Good morning and happy Saturday lovlies!! 👋🏻👋🏻 I just realized my last post about 3-4 months ago was a glance at my studio. Lots of things happened in the past few months and Ive been just too stressed out that I lost my desire to craft. 😣Its been a rough yr for everyone and Im ready for a new start! 😍 Are you?? Im going to start working towards getting some routines where I can feel better and add creativity back to life. Why wait till Jan? We can start now 💕

I just moved and finally got around to finishing up my studio. Im such a perfectionist that it took me a while to get everything where I wanted. 😅 Im happy how it turned out and grateful that I can still have a place to work and craft. Im excited to share projects with you soon 🥰🥰🥰

    Took a couple of days off this week to recharge - mental break helps a lot! 👍🏻 While I enjoyed stay-home break, I finished swatching all of #danielsmithwatercolors - now I’ll build my own palette from these and start doing some watercolor with them. Seeing all these made me really happy 🥰🥰 Swatching watercolors are one of my fav ways to distress. What creative projects are you working on this weekend?? #watercolorswatches #watercolor #danielsmithwatercolor #danielsmithartistsmaterials #colorswatches

    I decided to do something new and challenging during this #stayathome time. Took a beginner calligraphy class by @piecescalligraphy and I cant believe how fast 90min went by!! 😍😍 I have a lot of practice to do but really enjoyed learning. These are some of the things we did. My p’s are pretty horrible 😂😂 Cant wait for the next session!

    Happy Monday everyone- 💕💕 I was itching for a change so the other day I moved things around a bit in my studio. (This happens more often than not 😂) Even just a tiny bit of change can bring a big difference and give a fresh feel to your daily norm. Controlling what we can and not losing hope 🙏🏻 I wish you a fabulous and lovely week ahead 💙

    More therapeutic watercoloring session - I find taking the time to color each image with watercolor really helps me to relax. I think it has to do with a slow moving, soft transition of the pigments and water.

This card was made using a brand new #altenewstatementflowers stamp set and #altenewspringgarden
