Happy BOOday! with Fright Night Circlescape Shaker Card

Hello crafty friends!  Today I'm sharing a fun shaker card for Halloween featuring Honey Bee Stamps new Fright Night Circlescape die set.  This is such a fun die set that I can easily see using different colors and featured as a winter scene!  Hmm, I need to add that to my idea list!

First I'll share the steps for creating the shaker/card base:

  • First, I chose paper from the Spooktacular 6" x 8-½" paper pad and trimmed it to A2 size.
  • Then I used an ink blender brush to add some Black Soot Distress ink around the edges of the paper.
  • Next I placed it into an A2 Shaker Creator shaker pocket, removed the adhesive liners from the sides and bottom flaps, and folded them over onto the back of the paper.
  • I poured in some of the so very pretty Black Opal Confetti Mix and sealed the top flap.
  • I used Bee Creative glue to adhere the shaker to a top folding A2 card base.

Next I created the details for the front of the card:
  • First I die cut the largest Circlescape Shaker Frames from black cardstock. I saved the frame and the circle from this die cut as we will be using both.
  • Also from black cardstock, I die cut the fence, bat (x 3), and the tree from the Fright Night Circlescape Honey Cuts. (I used a scrap of black cardstock that just fit the tree for that part.)
  • I die cut the entire Fright Night Circlescape die from 80# Neenah.
  • I used ink blender brushes and Distress Oxides for all of the coloring of the die cut pieces.
    • Moon: Antique Linen, Scattered Straw
    • Sky: Villanous Potion, Wilted Violet, and a touch of Antique Linen
    • Grassy hills: Rustic Wilderness, Mowed Lawn
    • Tree: Black Soot (this will go under the black die cut tree)
    • Cross/headstones: Weathered Wood
  • I die cut the pumpkins from a scrap of orange card stock.
  • For the yellow behind the pumpkins, I inked a scrap of cardstock with Scattered Straw Distress Oxide. One at a time, I glued the pumpkins to it, and then cut them off of the yellow piece just under the edge of the pumpkins on top. Goodness, I hope that makes sense! LOL!

Let's finish this fun card!
  • I adhered the colored pieces of the Fright Night Circlescape to the reserved black die cut circle with Bee Creative glue.
  • Adhere the black die cut tree onto the image.
  • The cool thing about the fence is that the die cut is bendable since the pickets are only joined by the top fence rail! I shaped the fence and glued that in place along with the other small images.
  • Next I adhered the Circlescape frame to the front of the card with glue. Then I glued the main image inside the frame.
  • I used black embossing powder and clear embossing ink to stamp and emboss the sentiment and spider from the Happy Halloween stamp set. After I used the coordinating dies, I used a bit of foam tape strips to adhere them to the card.

This was such a fun card to make with all of these fun elements!  I hope you've enjoyed my process.  Thank you, always, for taking a minute to stop by!  I hope you have a wonderful, crafty day!
