Open if You Dare

A serious card? This is another easy card to make: the technique? Ink the embossing folder and then put the card stock through to achieve this look. The message has torn edges, sponged with black ink, and then popped with dimensionals. More details below:

Here's the torn edge: both the mat and the cherry cobbler spider impression CS. The Basic Grey mat is sponged with black ink, then adhere the spider impression CS to the Basic Grey mat, randomly TEAR.............rough it up and sponge edges, if needed. The small adhesive red rhinestones used for the spider's eyes are a perfect touch. Pop the spider on a dimensional, too

Open the card to reveal......................scattered springy spiders. The Basic Grey CS mat edge is sponged using black ink. The circle started off at 2-1/2", then simply start cutting the inside to make the "springs". Spiders "anchor" the beginning and end of the "springs".

Side view:

The card inside top and bottom have the same message stamped. The Cherry Cobbler spider anchors (using a mini glue dot) the inside circle

Supplies:

• Stamps: Open if You Dare (unknown), inside message (non SU)
• CS: Cherry Cobbler, Black, basic Grey, Whisper White
• Ink: Black
• Accys: Spider Impression Folder (non SU), Circle Scissor Plus, Spider Die (non SU), Red Adhesive Rhinestones (non SU), Stamping Daubers, Dimensionals, Mini Glue Dots

Scary Boo Spider Card

Is he cute or what? The "BOO" is simply stamped and punched using the large oval punch, then popped with dimensionals. the dot impression folder also add some texture to this fun card. The black mat somehow ended up to be 5-1/8" x 4" and is popped up with dimensionals.........it must have been because of the punched web edge at the bottom. The multi color ribbon ties all the colors and add some additional color to the card.

Like this die cut spider: it was in my stash of "ya gotta use it". I probably got it on sale somewhere - what a great opportunity to finally be able to use it!! He's cut in Old Olive CS and his mouth area has Pumpkin Pie in behind it. Pop him up with dimensionals. Love those eyes, too! Use a drop of Tombow adhesive and position in place.

Card inside: same punch edge as card front and stamped "scary" message using Old Olive ink


Supplies:

• Stamps: non SU
• CS: Old Olive, Black, Whisper White, Pumpkin
• Ink: Old Olive
• Accys: Spider Die (non SU), Large Oval Punch, Dimensionals, SU Dot Impression folder, Tombow Adhesive, Web Edge Punch (non SU), Dot Ribbon (non SU), Googlie Eyes (non SU), Dimensionals.

Smelly Feet Witch Card

Here a witch card that was fun to make: pull out those retired items (stamp set and paper) and make use of them!!!! Note the background is a retired Halloween set - love it!!!! So perfect for this card. There are no detail instructions as this is a pretty simple card. The details for the strip on the side is: 7/8" wide pumpkin, black scallop edge is 1-1/4". These measurements will need to be adjusted depending on the ribbon width used.

Here's a closer view of the Coloring using Stampin' Write Pens: like the green adhesive rhinestones? I found them in my stash - use them or waste them.....right? The pumpkin circle is poped with dimenionals and then the entire scallop circle is popped up with dimensionals

Simply stamp the inside with Lovely Lilac ink using the same background stamp from the card front. Note the card opens "portrait " style, so the cut a slit using a craft knife on the fold and slip ribbon through.
