Red Cre8s: Halloween Shaker Card | Whimsy Stamps

So SPOOOOKY!

I've got a CAS corner shaker card for you today that was designed with the great Halloween dies from Whimsy Stamps! My idea for this card came from the scene in "Sleeping Beauty" where the good fairies are waving their wands at Beauty's dress to change the color and rainbow smoke magically pours from the chimney! I decided to create a clean layout with the white background and let the ink blending in the shaker window do the work!

I blended "Twisted Citron", "Mermaid Lagoon", "Wilted Violet" and "Villainous Poison" together on a slimline panel measuring 4" x 9"; it was spritzed with shimmer mist and spattered with pearlized watercolors. I inked another panel with these same colors, adding a bit of "Black Soot" for additional depth, and cut it with the "Slimline Hill House Die". I selectively trimmed the die cut so that I had a cropped version of the "house only" to use in the bottom corner. Once I had the position marked, I put the large curly-q die from the "Revealers 3 Die Set" in place on the white card front panel and cut the image - then the house die cut was glued into place on the front and I stamped the sentiment.

I wrapped some recycled acetate craft packaging around the top 3/4 of the background panel, filled it with the shaker bits and taped it closed. The front house panel (and the small smoke shaped omit) were attached with foam tape onto the shaker panel and this entire unit was adhered to a shaker card base.

I added one of the bat die images from the NEW "Batty Die Set" and some of the Glazed Grape and Glazed Lime Confetti I used in the shaker pouch to embellish the smoke column. I was really happy with the clean feel of this design and it's always fun to try different versions of shaker cards!

Thanks so much for stopping by today and happy crafting!
