Boo Stitched Halloween Card

Hey friends, I'm back today with a card that features products from Spellbinders. I simply had to have this fun ghost die set called Dancin' Ghost from the Boo Party Collection. I love making seasonal cards and this one definitely puts me in the mood for Halloween cardmaking. Stick around for some tips and details on the huge Fall Warehouse Sale! You'll also find product links at the end of this post.

I used the stitched diamond argyle cover plate for my panel, cut with my Platinum 6 die cutting machine. I chose several DMC floss colors that spoke "Halloween" to me; 553, 550, 971 and 907.

Back in May of this year, I ordered the Stamp of the Month club selection which was the Stitched Color Wheel stamp set pictured below. I used one of the stamps to make those paper floss thingies below. What's it called, haha?  Are you a club member? Find out about their clubs here.

Not only will you get 10% off all your Spellbinders purchases, you can order past club kits, if they're not sold out.

I share a lot of "work in progress" photos on Instagram and in Stories (pictured below). Are you following me on Insta? If not, I would love to see you there!

So, back to my sweet lil' ghost. I ran white cardstock through my Platinum 6 die cut machine, popping out the eyes, and again with black cardstock, keeping the eyes intact. I backed my white ghost with the black ghost, offsetting it to one side for more of a shadow effect. Adhesive foam on the back, keeps everything intact, including the eyes, and adds dimension.

I really wanted to pull color from my threads onto my ghost because sometimes, that's how I roll, haha. I used 4 different Copic Markers, all linked at the end of this post, plus a blender brush to smooth out the color near the top. 

For my sentiment, I layered 2 strips of black cardstock with a trimmed section of adhesive sheet peeled and adhered between the two strips, so when I ran it through my Platinum 6, it's more sturdy to work with. Just a little glue on the back works to adhere it to my layered strip panel near the bottom. I usually dredge intricate dies gently through a small amount of glue on my craft mat, then blot the excess around my die cut with a paper towel.

I mounted my A2 size black cardstock on an A2 white card, then mounted my stitched panel with die cuts attached. Such a fun project! I love how the stitching kind of looks like cobwebs, don't you think?

Thanks so much for stopping by! Don't miss out on the Fall Warehouse Sale that runs now through Sept.30th. It's a huge event so check it out! 

See you next time............. Terri
