Hello, this week the +papermilldirect DT have been working on Halloween makes and I have this card to share with you. There
are some fabulous shades of cardstock in the Papermilldirect colours
range just perfect for Halloween makes like my favourite Purple Grape
along with Bright Orange, Apple Green and of course Black. I created this little shaped card by using one of the Halloween
images in Cricut Design Space, I duplicated the base layer and flipped
it, moving it up against its mirror image and overlapping it before
aligning both shapes along the bottom and then selecting ‘weld’ to form
the base of a shaped card that can be folded in half.
If you’d like to make this card this is my Design Space link which
means that you don’t need to do the mirroring and welding steps at all,
it is already done for you and all the pieces are sized, colour
coordinated and ready to just press ‘go’. When you have the pieces cut
out, just score and fold the purple base card in half to form the card
base, layer up the other shapes and glue together using a clear drying
glue and decorate as desired.
When using my Cricut to cut images I often like to add some detail to
what would otherwise be ‘flat’ shapes. For this design I chose to use
some embossing folders through my manual die cutter machine. You can
see the embossed detail adds more interest and makes for a more tactile
card. For the Sentiment of ‘Wicked Wishes’ I used a collage embossing
folder. I also used some Stickles glitter glue in ‘Mercury Glass’ to
edge around the words and added some dots of Liquid Pearls in a black
colour.
To decorate the hat part of the card I added different sized gold and
silver sequins, filled the star cut-outs with the Stickles glitter glue
and used it to outline the green star too. Little dots of black Liquid
Pearls were added to the centres of the sequins, star and also on the
green hatband, along with dots of Stickles glitter glue. It's fun to
experiment with embossing folders and I like to mix and match electronic
cutting with other techniques. What do you think? Are you working on
Halloween designs? or using embossing folders? Why not share your
makes over on the papermilldirect facebook page, we'd love to see them, Angela x
