PLAYFUL GHOSTS
I just got this Playful Ghosts on my last order. It really is a cute Halloween set! I would have LOVED some dies to go with it…with a few extras! Oh well! It worked SO well for today’s pop-up surprise card!
Stampin’ Details:
- The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Pumpkin Pie cardstock, scored at 2-1/8″ from each end to form the gatefold card.
- Two 2 x 5-3/8″ pieces of Flowering Zinnias DSP were added to the front panels.
- I scored the 4 x 8 piece of Flowering Zinnias DSP at 2, 4 and 6. Then scored diagonally on each end to form an X from the center to each of the ends.
- The straight vertical lines were Mountain folded and the X’s were Valley folded, then folded together to create the pop-up mechanism as shown above.
- A 2-3/4 x 2-3/4 piece of Pumpkin Pie cardstock was added to the center diamond.
- The 2-1/2 x 2-1/2 piece of Basic White cardstock was stamped with the pumpkin ghost and colored with Pumpkin Pie Combo, Daffodil Delight Combo, Light Lemon Lime Twist, Light Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends. It was added to the Pumpkin Pie piece.
- I stamped Boo with Memento Black Ink on 3/8 x 1-1/4 strip of Gorgeous Grape cardstock and cut a flag end and then added to the ghost.
- The two side triangles were adhered to the inside of the base Pumpkin Pie card approx. 1/4″ from the edge on each side panel. This creates the pop-up when the card is opened!
- A couple bats were stamped with Memento Black Ink at the top.
- The 1 x 11 Pumpkin Pie cardstock belly band was wrapped around the closed card and adhered.
- I cut the second from smallest Nested Essential Die shape from Pumpkin Pie cardstock and the smallest from Basic White cardstock and adhered together.
- The Happy Halloween greeting was stamped with Gorgeous Grape Ink towards the right.
- The witch ghost and pumpkins were stamped with Memento Black Ink on scrap Basic White cardstock and colored with Light Basic Black, Highland Heather Combo, Pumpkin Pie Combo, Light Lemon Lime Twist, Dark Daffodil Delight and Light Pecan Pie Stampin’ Blends, then hand-cut and added to the Nested Essentials piece with Stampin’ Dimensionals. It was adhered to the belly band with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- A trio of Purple Fine Shimmer Gems were added to the Nested Essentials label.
- Some bats were stamped on the front DSP panels with Memento Black Ink.
