    Spellbinders – Day 3, Craftoween Box Kit – Cross Bones Die

I began today’s card by creating my card base which was an A2, side folding card.  This is a rare instance when my card base also serves as my card front.

Since the Day 10 die set is sort of a Dia de los Muertos flower, I decided to try and make a card front that is reminiscent of that theme with bright colors, ribbons, bones, greenery, etc.  With that in mind, I started by die cutting the Hero Arts “Ribbons Cover Plate” die from Spellbinders Mulberry cardstock two times so I could double it up for dimension.  I adhered the main ribbon frame from the diecut (x2) centered onto the card front. 

Next, I began die cutting and assembling the individual pieces for the Day 10 envelope’s dies.  The type and colors of cardstock for each of the pieces were:

    Wings, Stem:  Spellbinders Rainforest Cardstock

    Eyes, Facial Elements:  Black Cardstock

    Face:  White Cardstock

    Petals Around Face:  Spellbinders Cosmic Sky Cardstock

    Petals Around Eyes:  Spellbinders Mulberry Cardstock

I glued the flower stem and “wings”/petals to the card front and then popped the flower head up on black foam squares and adhered it to the card.  Using a size 10 Sakura white gel pen, I added accents around the eyes and on each of the petals.

Using the Spellbinders “Rainbow Slice Tunnel” die set, I selected some of the dies that were leaves, flowers, flower centers, and greenery and die cut multiples from various colors of Spellbinders Essential cardstocks since I didn’t really know how many I would want to use and of what colors.  After die cutting, I began placing these floral and greenery elements around the card front before gluing them down. I wanted to add a couple bones above the flower and I die cut two of the cross bones from the Day 3 envelope dies from this series and trimmed off the portions of the cross bones that I didn't need.

For the sentiment, I chose one that I created in an earlier crafting session in this series that was created using the Spellbinders “All Seasons Autumn” Press Plate and Die Set, Spellbinders Opaque White Glimmer Foil, and the Glimmer Hot Foil System.  I added Ranger Glossy Accents to the eyes and flower centers as my final embellishment.

That completes today’s card!  Thanks so much for stopping by, I hope you enjoyed this Day 10 card showcasing the dies from the Spellbinders 13 Days of Craftoween boxed kit and found inspiration for some of your own card making projects! 

Until next time… happy making!

I started today’s card by die cutting and assembling the individual pieces for the Day 9 trick-or-treat monster.  The type and colors of cardstock for each of the pieces were:

     Wings, Horns, Tail, Pitch Fork Die:  Scrapbook.com Black Glossy Cardstock

    Teeth & Eye Die:  Scrapbook.com White Glossy Cardstock

    Pumpkin Pail Die:  Spellbinders Carrot Cardstock

    Pail Handle, Eye Center, Pail Base:  Scrapbook.com Black Glossy Cardstock

    Monster Body Die:  My Favorite Things Boysenberry Cardstock

I used Villainous Potion Distress Ink to shade around the edges of the monster’s body and Crackling Campfire Distress Ink to shade around the pumpkin pail.

For my card front, I die cut a piece of Ranger/Tim Holtz Distress Black Two-Tone Woodgrain Cardstock using the Reverse Confetti “Double Stitch Window” cover die.  I cut a piece of Spellbinders Lilac (you could have just used white) cardstock to measure 4” x 4” and I ink blended the panel from top to bottom using Distress Inks in the colors Villainous Potion and Wilted Violet.  I placed the ink blended panel in my splat box and splattered Ranger’s Golden Hour Solar Spray and white gouache all over the panel to create a night sky.  Once the panel was dry, I adhered it to the back side of my black woodgrain card front so that the inky scene was visible and centered through the aperture.

Using the Spellbinders “Haunted House” die set, I die cut the moon, clouds, bats, and ghosts from scrap cardstock in my stash to build the scene for my night sky panel.  I did use a scrap of iridescent vellum that already have double sided adhesive applied to the back for the two little ghosts. Next, I added black foam squares to the back side of the monster and glued all the night sky scene pieces to the ink blended sky. 

For the sentiment, I used Spellbinders “All Seasons Autumn” Press Plate and Die Set, Spellbinders Opaque White Glimmer Foil, and the Glimmer Hot Foil System to hot foil the sentiments (which are all on one plate) onto a piece of black cardstock.  I die cut them using the all-in-one coordinating die from the set and chose to use the “trick or treat” sentiment for this card and glued it to the lower front of the card. 

That completes today’s card!  Thanks so much for stopping by, I hope you enjoyed this Day 9 card showcasing the dies from the Spellbinders 13 Days of Craftoween boxed kit and found inspiration for some of your own card making projects! 

Until next time… happy making!

Day 8 | Spellbinders 13 Days of Craftoween

Hi friends!  I’m back to share my creation for Day 8 from the 2025 Spellbinders 13 Days of Craftoween kit.

Spellbinders – 13 Days of Craftoween Box Kit, Day 8 Dies

Gina K. Designs – Circle Windows Plate Die

Spellbinders – Witch on Broom (bat)

Sizzix/Tim Holtz – Collector Die Set (ticket)

I started today’s card by die cutting my card front base layers.  I die cut a piece of black cardstock from my stash to measure 4-1/8” x 5-5/16” then I cut a piece of BOOkeh cardstock from Whimsy Stamps to measure 4” x 5-3/16”.  I glued those two layers together and adhered them to an A2 top folding, white card base.

Next, I die cut one piece of black glossy cardstock using the Gina K. Design’s “Circle Windows Plate Die” and die cut it twice more out of plain black cardstock.  I glued all three layers together and then glued them to the card front.

Using the Day 8 dies from the 2025 Spellbinders Craftoween kit, I die cut the following dies out the cardstock listed beside it:

Skull Mug:  Spellbinders Antique Glitter Metallic Treasured cardstock

    Straw:  Spellbinders Carrot cardstock and Violet cardstock

    Tombstone:  Spellbinders Anchor cardstock

    Bat Pick:  Spellbinders Brush Metallic cardstock

    Eyes, Nose, Teeth, and Mug Contents:  Glossy cardstock from my stash

    Marshmallows:  Simon Says Stamp Pawsitively Velvet Snow White Luxury Cardstock

I glued all the die cut layers for the mug together using Bearly Art glue and set those aside to dry.  I also die cut three of the ghost dies from Spellbinders Antique Matte Metallic Treasured cardstock.  Using the Spellbinders “Witch on Broom” die set, I die cut the smallest bat three times and the medium bat once from Spellbinders Anchor cardstock.

For my sentiment, I stamped the “cheers to SPOOKY SIPS” onto a piece of Spellbinders Rainforest cardstock using VersaFine Clair Nocturne ink and heat embossed it with WOW! Clear Gloss Superfine Embossing Powder to give the sentiment a bit of shine.  Next, I used the ticket die from the Sizzix “Collector” die set to cut out the sentiment and applied Distress Black Soot ink to the edges of the ticket using a tiny foam ink blending tool.

I glued all the die cut elements to the card front, added Glossy Accents to the gray bats, and added some green gems that I’ve had in my stash for about ten years – I went gem crazy, but I like it!

That completes today’s card!  Thanks so much for stopping by, I hope you enjoyed this Day 8 card showcasing the dies from the Spellbinders 13 Days of Craftoween boxed kit and found inspiration for some of your own card making projects! 

Until next time… happy making!
