USE THE LAYERING DIORAMA DIES TO CREATE SPOOKTACULAR HALLOWEEN CARDS!

 Hi Stampers,

Today I am sharing another Halloween card that is frightfully easy to create. I used items from the CUTE HALLOWEEN SUITE (Stampin’ Up®️ July-December 2021Mini Catalog), and two sets of dies - LAYERING DIORAMA DIES & PLAYFUL ALPHABET DIES (Stampin’ Up! 2021-2022 Annual Catalog). 

Here is a look at the card:

In my 24 May 2021 post I shared a similar card using the LAYERING DIORAMA DIES. Here is a look at that card.

SUPPLIES FOR THIS CARD

LAYERING DIORAMA DIES

* I used (from the inside) the 2nd (for the Basic Gray cardstock) and 4th die (for the Gray Granite cardstock).

* CUTEST HALLOWEEN stamp set - ghost face / hands, and “Have a fa(boo)lous Halloween for inside of card.

*  Halloween Punch

* Cute Halloween DSP - black and white “Boo” pattern, cut at 5 1/2” x 4 1/4”.

* Cute Stars Adhesive Backed Sequins - 3 Pumpkin Pie

* Black and White Gingham Ribbon - one piece about 4” long and one about 3” long.

* Card base color of choice- I chose Gray Granite.

* Gray Granite and Basic Gray cardstock cut at 4 3/4” x 3 1/2” and a piece of Basic Black large enough to cover the die cut hole in the Basic Gray cardstock; I used a 2 1/2” x 4 3/4” piece. 

* Small scraps of Basic Black and Pumpkin Pie cardstock for greeting.

* Scraps of Basic White cardstock for the ghosts.

* Playful Alphabet Dies - letters to spell “BOO.”

* Wink of Stella

* Memento Tuxedo Black ink

* White Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon - one piece 4” long and another piece 3” long.

* Pumpkin Pie (dark) Stampin’ Blends marker.

OTHER

* Adhesive of choice, dimensionals, liquid glue

OPTIONAL - I used the “sand”stamp from the FRIENDS ARE LIKE SEASHELLS stamp set to add some texture to the Gray Granite and Basic Gray layers. Any stamp that produces a dotted image will work. To stamp the “texture” I used the inks that coordinate with the cardstock.

ASSEMBLY

* Use the smaller of the two Layering Diorama dies to die cut the center from the Basic Gray cardstock. Repeat this step with the larger of the two dies and the Gray Granite cardstock. (Note: If you are using the texture stamp, stamp the texture on each piece of cardstock before die cutting.)

* Use the Playful Alphabet Dies and the scraps of Basic Black and Pumpkin Pie and die cut the B, O, O in each color.

* Use the Halloween Punch and punch out three ghost images from the scraps of Basic White cardstock.

* Adhere the “Bool DSP to the front of the card base.

* Adhere the Basic Black cardstock strip to the back side of the Basic Gray die cut layer.

* Adhere the Gray Granite over the Basic Gray layer with dimensionals.

* Use the Tuxedo Black ink and stamp the features on the punched out ghosts. Adhere them to the focal panel.

* Use liquid glue and glue the Basic Black and Pumpkin Pie “B” together - Pumpkin Pie on top and off set. Repeat the process with the remaining letters. Place liquid adhesive on the back of each letter just on the bottom half of the letter and adhere to the top layer of the focal panel in the bottom right corner area.

* Go over the “BOO” with Wink of Stella.

* Use the Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blend marker to dye both pieces of the white ribbon.

* Adhere one end of the 4” piece of gingham ribbon to the back of the top left side of the focal panel and adhere the other end to the bottom back side. Repeat with the 4” piece of Pumpkin Pie ribbon.

* Place the remaining piece of Pumpkin Pie ribbon on top of the remaining piece of gingham ribbon. Slip the ribbons under the ribbon adhered to the cardstock and tie a knot. Trim the ends.

* Add the three star sequins to the focal panel

* Adhere the focal panel to the card base.

* Stamp the inside sentiment with the Tuxedo Black ink.

Thank you for stopping by. Until next time…

Stamp Happy!
