Halloween Shaker and Slider

Hi and welcome. It’s All Hallows’ Eve. Will you dress up or hand out candy?

Traveling has kept me from posting recently, but I have made some things to share.

I made a few cards among other things. This one was made with a die from Elizabeth Craft Designs’ Halloween Set 1. Although it’s from a Planner Essentials set, the die fits perfectly on an A2 card. The scarecrow is painted with watercolor onto Soft Finish Cardstock. Doesn’t the Halloween themed sequin mix really pop against the black background of this shaker card?

Here Distress Oxide was blended on Soft Finish Cardstock then the slider element was cut out. The witch was made with three layers of black cardstock to strength the broomstick for the slider element. Be sure to keep the sequins out of the witch’s path and blocking the sliding element. Ask me how I know.

This A2 card is essentially like the first card, but without the shaker element. Glue was applied with a fine tip over the spiderweb, then glitter was sprinkled over.

This slimline base was made much like the other, but mica spray was spritzed over the top before adding the graveyard elements. The headstones are two of the same die cuts overlapping. Tiny bits of headstone were cut-off off or altered to help the two pieces look more varied.

These were all a lot of fun to make and I hope they’ve inspired you.

Until next time. Happy crafting!
