Tricks or Treats - Dracula

This is a card that I somewhat cased from Rose Coleman but used Black Linen Thread instead of ribbon.  It's a fun-fold card and it opens as a gate fold.  I had only made one card with this set, so I'm hoping to make even more for Halloween.  It is such a cute set, and you can make a treat bag with the matching dies which can be used for other holidays, not just Halloween.

These are my instructions for this card:

Stamp Set:  Tricks & Treats

Cardstock:  Basic Black, Basic White, Them Bone Designer Series Paper

Ink:  Petal Pink, Tuxedo Black Memento, Cajun Craze, Pumpkin Pie

Other:  Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine, Tricks & Treats Dies, Bone Folder, Black Baker's Twine, Stampin’ Dimensionals, Stylish Shapes, Nested Essentials, Multipurpose Liquid Glue

 

1.     The base of the card is Basic Black cardstock cut at 4-1/4” x 11” and scored at

2-3/4” x 8-1/4”.  Burnish the score lines with the Bone Folder.

2.    The gate doors have the “tombstone” Them Bones DSP cut at 2-1/2” x 4” and adhered with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

3.    Basic White is cut at 3-3/4” x 5” and layered with “dancing skeletons” Them Bones DSP.  Only adhere to the left gate door so it can be opened.

4.    Use the Stylish Shapes circle with Basic White for a circle.  Stamp “Eek!” with Cajun Craze and the bats with Tuxedo Black Memento.

5.    Use a Dauber to sponge the edge of the circle with Pumpkin Pie ink to make it pop!

6.    Stamp the face of Dracula with Petal Pink (second generation).  Add his hairline, eyes, nose and mouth with Tuxedo Black Memento ink.  Die-cut him out with the Tricks & Treats Dies. Adhere the circle with Stampin’ Dimensionals to the front of the card.

7.    Attach a double bow of Black Baker's Twine.

8.    On the inside, add a layer of leftover DSP and using the Nested Essentials with Basic White cardstock, die-cut the largest rectangular die from Basic White cardstock.  Stamp “Trick or Treat” with Tuxedo Black Memento ink.  Ink up a ghost with Cajun Craze and stamp above the sentiment.

9.    Adhere with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
