This is the back of my bag. The background paper is "Words" from Spook Alley. I cut a cauldron and broom from cardstock. I tied raffia around the cauldron & made a handle from wire. The smoke from the cauldron is covered with glow-in-the-dark glitter. The top of the bag is framed with "Candy Corn" paper that I scalloped. The handle I made from twisted wire and ribbon.
I was asked to make a treat bag for Yellowbird Scrapbook Store. I came across this paper line from Making Memories- Spook Alley. I fell in love, love, love with this paper and it inspired my bag. The witch's legs I cut from gray & black glitter stripe, perfect for stockings! The background paper is called "Icon Stripe", but I used the back side with the dots. I cut the boots from a thick glitter paper in red/orange, & trimmed them out with gold nailheads. I used black tulle with a tiny spider hanging down to frame the top of her legs.
The base for this card was a piece of transparency that was cut to size & folded. The background was made layering shades of gray paper. The moon was punched from the die-cut sheet ( "Spider's Web"). The rickety fence & eyeballs were stamped using the same set from "Craft Lounge". I designed the swirly tree and cut it from black paper, then added stickles to it for a shimmer effect.
For this card I used a stamp set from "The Craft Lounge". The swirly tree was stamped first in black ink, then using glue I flocked the image with black "Sparkly Fluff" ( also from "Craft Lounge"). This was a fun technique, it's another way to add texture and interest.
I made the spider web background with an embossing folder from Cuttlebug & color core paper, then sanded it. I love this technique, it adds so much texture. The plaid border, bracket, & web circle were punched from the die-cut sheet. I tied raffia through the button, stamped "Trick or Treat" on the strip of paper, added the spider (which is a Cuttlebug die) & tiny shimmer tiles to the right of the stamp.
