Framed Silhouette Halloween Card

Life has been pretty hectic lately. I've been splitting my time between my full time job, my house, my dad's house and crafting in between. Why am I telling you this? I'll explain further down. 

But first, I've made another card featuring the recent release from This Calls For Confetti. This is what I call a framed silhouette card. I've also got a surprise on the inside of my card! Scroll down for creative details and a little chit chat. I'll have my full supply list at the end of this post, as well.

Our central air has gone out and it will totally need replacing. Of course, it's hot as HADES here in the southern United States, so we've been sleeping at my dads house until we get our air fixed.

Now, I generally will not apologize for my photos or mistakes I make on my cards. Due to splitting my time back and forth between two households, some of my crafty mess is at my dads. 

I created this card in, let's face it, horrible lighting while at my dad's house.. Definitely not up to my standards! Was it worth it to have air conditioning? Absolutely, haha!

The photo you see above is some ink blending I did on an A2 white card panel using Ranger distress oxide ink in Wilted Violet and distress ink in Kitsch Flamingo. I also splattered on some black paint. That smudge you see was a droplet from my paint bottle that smeared but luckily, it's covered up by my black card panel.

I used an A2 size black piece of cardstock with the TCFC What Lies Within card front die, then trimmed off some bats and the haunted house for use in my silhouette scene.

I also decided to use my handwriting for a "warning" on my card. Yes, there's a little something inside and I thought it would be be fun to write "open if you dare" in a childish scrawl.

To achieve this, I used the same circle dies for cutting out the open space on my black card panel, to create a circle frame. I wrote my words using a white gel pen, along the curve of the frame then trimmed it off and adhered it below the bottom circle of my card panel.

Once you open the card, you're greeted with a sweet little BOO! I created the Boo die cuts and ghost with the Ghostly Greeting dies and adhered them to the inside of my card.

I the pink cardstock was actually from one of my Christmas paper pads, but I really wanted to tie in some color from the front of my card, to the inside.

I highly recommend wearing your glasses when taking final photo shots.  The final shots were taken in my craft room in the sweltering heat of my house. Heaven forbid I run and get my glasses out of my purse. But no, instead I now see tiny little dots from dry white gel ink that landed on my final shots of my card, because.....I wasn't wearing my glasses.

Note to self, never take photos without your glasses! I could have easily dusted those specks off but this chick is not hanging in this hot house any longer!

Also, you could easily create a shaker card but I opted to glue some tiny shimmery confetti bits onto my sky, from my Spookalicious Mix. They look white in the photo above, but they're actually silver with a prism effect when you look at different angles.

So boys and girls, what lessons have we learned today? One, it's hot and a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do. Two, wear your glasses. Haha! I have really enjoyed creating with these goodies from This Calls For Confetti. They have soooo much good stuff in their shop. I hope you'll pop in for a look.

Halloween Shaker featuring This Calls For Confetti

Hello cardmakers. I have a Halloween shaker card featuring products from the latest release at This Calls For Confetti. This is my first card created with this brands products and I had so much fun ink blending, die cutting and more for this shaker card. Scroll down for creative details and my shopping supply list at the end.

(FTC Disclosure: as an affiliate for various companies in the craft industry, I will receive a small commission for purchases made through my convenient affiliate links, at no additional cost to you.)

 

To begin, I ink blended an A2 white card panel with Ranger distress and oxide inks. I'll have them linked in my supply list below. I also splattered some Ranger Mica Stain on my panel. I am away from home while writing this post and don't remember the name of the mica stain! It might be Crooked Broomstick?

I created two die cuts using the A2 What Lies Within? metal dies, one on black cardstock and one on white cardstock, as pictured above. I ink blended the moon and trimmed it from the white die cut, adhering to my black die cut. I also ink blended on a section of white cardstock that I used as backing for my haunted mansion.

For my Boo sentiment, I created die cuts with the Ghostly Greetings die set and added a bling factor. Sometimes I like to be a little extra, haha. Once I adhered my layered sentiment die cuts, I added a little glue inside the bottom of my sentiment and added some of the smallest sequins and bling from the Spookalicious Mix.

I also used the A2 acetate sheets for my shaker panel. Gosh, these are convenient, I love them! It does have a film you need to peel off prior to laying down the acetate, which I have popped up on adhesive strips.

I glued little bits of my shaker mix on my ink blended panel first, then added more shaker mix before adhering my acetate panel.

Both of my ghosts from the Ghostly Greetings die set were backed with the outline die cut with black cardstock. I staggered my black image to create a shadow effect and adhered the smaller one to my ink blended card panel before placing the shaker acetate panel. My other ghosts is, obviously, adhered flat on the outside. Also, my sentiment was popped up on adhesive foam strips.

I hope this card inspires for your Halloween cardmaking. If you'd like to shop for any of the products that I used, I've provided convenient affiliate links below, at no additional cost to you.

Have a great day!

Terri
