A 4 x 5-1/4 piece of the wheat pattern in Harvest Meadow Designer Paper was added to the front.
The arabesque solid shape in the Delicate Bauble Die was cut from Early Espresso and Crumb Cake cardstocks. The Crumb Cake was trimmed and added to the bottom of the Early Espresso bauble.
The leaves were cut with the Stitched Leaves Dies from Real Red, Cinnamon Cider, Cajun Craze, Pumpkin Pie and Daffodil Delight cardstocks and adhered behind the turkey body.

Delicate Baubles – Dracula

October 20, 2021 By Connie | 1 Comment

This is my second post today…scroll down to see my other post!

Are you getting tired of seeing these cards done with solid arabesque shape in the Delicate Baubles Dies yet?

You can see my GNOME, SANTA, GINGERBREAD, ELF, PENGUIN, SNOWMAN, WITCH and MICKEY MOUSE by clicking on those links! After doing the witch, I was thinking of what else I could make for Halloween…so I came up with Dracula! He’s a little more scary than I intended…but I think my oldest grandson will love it!

Stampin’ Details:

The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Fresh Freesia cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
A 2-1/2 x 4 piece of Cute Halloween DSP was cut at an angle and then adhered to a 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Basic White.
A 1/4 x 5 strip of Basic Black was adhered across the seam and then trimmed. The Basic White layer was added on top of the base card..
The solid arabesque shape was cut with the Delicate Baubles Die from Fresh Freesia cardstock, Real Red cardstock and Basic Black cardstock. The top of the Basic Black was cut off to a point for his hair. The Real Red bauble was trimmed for his cape collar with the black showing at the bottom.
The bow was cut with the bow die in the Delicate Baubles set and trimmed, then added to the collar with a Mini Glue Dot.
The eyes are 3/4″ circles of Basic White cardstock cut in half, the irises are 3/8″ circles of Real Red, the pupils are 1/4″ circles of Basic Black. The nose is 3/8″ circle of Fresh Freesia cardstock, popped up. The ears are 3/4″ circle cut from Fresh Freesia cardstock and cut in half. The mouth is 3/4″ circle from Basic Black cardstock cut in half. The eyebrows were strips cut by hand from Basic Black and the teeth cut by hand from Basic White cardstock. (The circles in the Gingerbread Dies will work for most of them.)
Happy Haunting from Banner Year is stamped with Fresh Freesia Ink in the upper right corner. The bat from Banner Year is stamped in Memento Black Ink in the upper left.
Dracula was assembled and added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
White Chalk Pen was used on his eyes and nose.
A Red Rhinestone was added to the center of the bow for his cape.

I’m really happy with how he turned out!!! Stay tuned…yep…I have MORE coming!
