The Robin's Nest - Halloween

Bats and Ghosts and Pumpkins, Oh My!

I have to say...this Transylvania collection from The Robin's Nest has me in the Halloween spirit.  The glitter and graphics on the papers are awesome!  I came up with another fancy folded card today.  This one is a shutter-fold card.  You can find the basic layout for it here.  It was so much fun to make because I got to use a big variety of cardstock and elements. Oh boy!!! Here is my card:

I started out with my basic pieces and laid them out on the card base.

I then inked the edges of all the pieces so the white edges wouldn't show.

After all the pieces were adhered to the base, I started adding the embellishments.

Love the gauze ghost. And those Diamond Dew Drops make great eyes!

I cut out some webs from the Spiderweb cardstock and added some more Dew Drops.

A dangling bat with some Connie's Crystals adds some real dimension.

I added a purple crystal to the purple bat side...

...and a black one to the black bat side.

Thanks to Connie's Crystals for partnering up with The Robin's Nest this month.  They have some wonderful crystals on their site.  I urge you to check them out!

So one more peek at my card before I go....

Hope you all are enjoying creating your Halloween projects!  I know I am!  

Til next time, keepin' it crafty!

The Robin's Nest: Halloween

I'm back again to share with you an adorable Halloween step card. These cards are so darn much fun to make!!!  And with the AWESOME Halloween papers from The Robin's Nest, how can you go wrong?? Just LOOK!!

I started out with a step card base (Silhouette Design #397733)using the Purple Crackle Glitter Cardstock from The Robin's Nest.  

I then cut out the haunted house (Silhouette Design #13333) using some amazing purple glitter cardstock from TRN. I cut out a second image with plain yellow cardstock (minus the windows)to highlight the details. 




Then I fussy-cut several images from Orange Bones (the bones for the fence), Halloween Stripe (pumpkins and the banner for the sentiment) and Spiderweb (small spiderweb) cardstock and added those elements to the steps of the card. I added a glitter cardstock bat to the 

I used the Boo Words cardstock and a circle punch to cut out my "boo" moon and adhered that and the adorable cheesecloth ghost. Notice the wobble in the moon!

I love how this card came together.  Here are some different views which really show the details and dimension:
