Cutest Halloween Suite- 3 weeks to Halloween Countdown!

 

 

Today is my 3 weeks to Halloween Countdown!!

Check out this CUTE Spanner Panel card.

I used the Cute Halloween DSP!

The front panel of the card flips up like this!

 

And then this is what it looks like when you flip up the center panel.

This is what it looks like when it is completely opened up!

Here is the pattern on how I cut it! 

• 5 1/2 x 8 1/2"- card base, score at 4 1/4" (in half)  

• Cut 1 1/4" from both sides of card front to center 4 1/4" mark as shown.

• You'll need 2 of the 1 x 5 1/2" strips for this card layout too!

So what do you think?

There is no punch for these skull images, so I used my scissors to cut them out.

Here are the supplies & measurements:

stamp set:  'Cutest Halloween' (words)

card stock:

• Basic Black- 5 1/2 x 8 1/2"- score at 4 1/4"- fold in half for card base.  Now cut 1 1/4" on both sides of the card front piece as shown above in my pattern
• Highland Heather- 1 x 5 1/2"- you'll need 2 of these, as one will have words stamped onto it & adhered to the card front as shown.  The other one will be put on the inside card front & adhered directly onto the back side of the front one.  You are doing this so that it makes this panel more sturdy.
• Basic White- 4 x 5 1/4"- for inside of card.  You'll adhered 2 strips of DSP directly over this, along the outside edges of this.
  

designer paper:  Cute Halloween DSP- 1 x 4" (X4).  You'll need 2 of these for the outside edges of the card front & 2 of these for the outside edges of the inside card piece.

ink:  Memento

other:  Black & White Gingham Ribbon; Black Matte Dots; dimensionals; scissors

 

I hope you have a SPECIAL Saturday!!

Happy Stamping!

I used the Beauty of the Earth DSP, along with the leaves from 

the 'Christmas Season' Bundle!

I used the Gilded Leafing found on page 143 in the Annual Catalog.

 2.  I pressed on flakes of the Gilded Leafing onto the 

Tear & Tape sticky strip like shown here.

 3.  I used my fingers & brushed off the extra Gilded Leafing pieces to get this look!

COOL HUH!

 I added a piece of DSP from the Beauty of the Earth & then 

adhered some Vellum card stock over the top of it.

I attached the Vellum using my Seal Plus & it worked perfectly 

without showing the adhesive lines.
