I began today’s card by doing some hot foiling.  I used the Spellbinders Opaque Black Glimmer Foil and the Spellbinders “Friendship Lace BetterPress Plates” to hot foil the large press plate from this set onto a piece of My Favorite Things Limelight cardstock.  Then I used the largest die from both the Spellbinders “Precision Layering A2 A” and “Precision Layering A2 B” die sets to cut out my hot foiled panel and well as the Brushed Black matting layer for my card front.

 

Now for the Day 11 die set – I die cut each of the elements from the following cardstock and glued them together after die cutting was completed:


    Cauldron Base:  Spellbinders Brushed Black Cardstock

         (Sakura Black Glaze added to highlight area on cauldron)

    Cauldron Rim and Handles:  Gina K. Designs Onyx Black Cardstock

    Skull and Bone:  Spellbinders Antique Matte Metallic Treasured Cardstock

    Witches Boots, Sock Stripes, and Skull Base:  Gina K. Designs Onyx Black Cardstock

    Cauldron Bubbles:  Altenew Peridot, Jadeite, & Titanite Glitter Cardstocks

    Witch Socks:  Spellbinders Carrot Cardstock

    Straw:  Scrap purple from my stash (stripes added using Moonlight Gelly Roll #405P)

 

The cauldron base, witch’s boots, and socks were each cut three additional times from regular black cardstock to add dimension to the focal point that will be adhered to a circle of vellum in my next step.  I glued two of the additional die cuts to the back side of the cauldron and set the other extra die cuts aside for now.

Using the fourth largest circle from the Hero Arts “Nested Circle Infinity Dies”, I die cut a piece of thin vellum that I purchased years ago from Amazon.  This vellum circle will be a landing point for the cauldron on the card front.  I positioned the vellum circle over the opening in the background that was foiled onto the Limelight cardstock and once the correct position was found, I glued the cauldron to the front and trimmed the excess vellum off the right side of the card front. I also glued those last three black diecuts (cauldron base, socks and witch boots) to the reverse side of the vellum and lined them up with their coordinating piece from the front side of the vellum - this is being done to make it easier to hide the glue on the vellum.   Next, I glued the cauldron/vellum focal point to the card front and then glued the card front to the Brushed Black card front matting panel.

 

For the sentiment, I used one that I had created in an earlier cardmaking session from the Spellbinders “Halloween Icons” press plate set.  I added a few strips of scrap black cardstock to the back side to give it dimension and adhered it to the card front.  To finish the card, I added few green gems that I’ve had in my stash for about a decade (and glad I’ve kept them all these years!).

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!

Spellbinders – Copper Glimmer Foil

I started today’s card hot foiling my background.  I used the Spellbinders Glimmer Hot Foiling System and their Spider Web Backgrounds Press Plate along with Spellbinders Glimmer Hot Foil in the color Copper.  After the foiling was completed, I used the largest die in the Spellbinders Precision Layering A2 A die set and cut the foiled panel.

 

For the spider:  I die cut the legs and eyes dies from Spellbinders Oceanside cardstock and the main body die from Spellbinders Blue Spruce cardstock.  The eyes die was simply cut out of a scrap of white cardstock from my stash.  The top hat was die cut from Spellbinders Onyx Brushed Metallic Treasured Cardstock and the hat band was cut from Spellbinders Teal Topaz cardstock and all the spider’s layers and the hat were glued together and set aside to dry.

 

While the spider’s glue was drying, I grabbed a piece of Cardstock Warehouse’s Stardream Gold cardstock, trimmed it to 4-1/4” x 2”, placed it into Spellbinders’ Geo Quilt embossing folder, and ran it through my die cutting machine.  I adhered the spiderweb foiled panel to the front of an A2 size card base and then glued the embossed strip of gold cardstock to the bottom of the card front.

Using the largest die from the Spellbinders Precision Layering A2 A dies, I die cut a piece of spider web patterned paper that was included in the Simple Stories 6x8 Spooky Things paper pad.  For the black cardstock panel, I die cut a black piece of cardstock to measure 3-3/4” x 5-1/2” and used liquid glue to adhere the black panel to the patterned paper panel.

 

For my sentiment, I die cut the letters “BOO” from the Lawn Fawn’s Henry’s ABCs die set twice from black cardstock and once from the Spellbinders Onyx Brushed Metallic Treasured cardstock and glued those layers together.  I ran a black Copic marker around the edges of the letters since the Treasured cardstock has a white backing – just to make it look nice.

 

Using the Spellbinders Welcome Fall die set, I die cut the two pieces that make the wooden sign from white cardstock and stamped the sentiment from the 13 Days of Craftoween kit onto the sign front.  Once the ink dried, I used a blending brush and ink blended Catherine Pooler Bronze Pigment Ink all over the surfaces of the sign and signpost. Once the ink dried, I glued the sign onto the front top of the signpost.  For the crow, I pulled out the Spellbinders Autumn Scarecrow die set and die cut the three pieces for the crow from black, white, and grey cardstock and glued the pieces together.

 

The only task left is to assemble the scene onto the card front with a combination of foam squares and Bearly Art Glue.

Now just to bring it all together!  I glued the little ghost directly to the card front and added foam squares to the back of the bottle to give it some dimension before adding it to the card front.  Lastly, I added five Pinkfresh Studio Amethyst Glitter Drops for my final embellishment.

 

That completes today’s card!  Thanks so much for stopping by, I hope you enjoyed this Day 5 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!
