Card 2 - Halloween Series 2020



 Hey crafty friends!

Today I'm very excited to finally be bringing you the second card in my Halloween series for 2020!  Today's card features some Hello Bluebird goodies:  Happy Haunters stamps and Boo To You die.  

I used the Sunny Studio Stamps Sliding Window die to create the interactive element and also went a bit extra and added a shaker panel.  

The front of the card was created using my Distress Oxides in Spun Sugar and Picked Raspberry.  I love a pink tone on tone cloudy sky!  I couldn't resist picking up the new Rolling Clouds stencil by My Favorite Things this month.  Love it!

I coloured the images with copics, a full colour map is featured below in case you want to know any of the colour combinations I used.

There are a lot of steps in this card but I think it is totally worth it.  I created a video (below) if you would like to see all the steps.  These photographs will help you to see what measurements I used if you want to create the same.

The smaller piece of card stock (as pictured below) sits behind the larger panel and is secured by using 1/4" score tape along the flap created at the bottom of the window flap.

For the shaker panel that sits behind the sliding window panel I cut this slightly smaller so that the pull tab can still be pinched and pulled.  A sentiment was stamped on the panel in the bottom third.  Small strips of foam tape were applied all around the edge and shaker pieces put in the well. Acetate cut to the same size as the card panel was adhered to the foam tape to securely house the shaker items.  

For the pull tab I used my crop a dile and an eyelet to create a tulle pull.  I added a small bow to hid the thread I used to tie the tulle.
