CARD RECIPE

Bat - Lovely Layers: Bat Dies

Pattern Paper - Sweet & Spooky Paper Pad

Window - Sweet Stacks Ovals

Sentiment - Sweet Halloween Stamps and Dies

Ink - Bee Creative Intense Black Ink Pad

Gems - Sweet & Spooky Gem Stickers

Cutting the Bat: 

Start by die-cutting the pieces for the bat using the Lovely Layers: Bat Dies. I chose a mix of dark gray and black cardstock to give the bat a spooky yet cute look. You will have to cut two of each piece to finish off both sides of the bat. Attach a clear thread down the center of the front bat before gluing on the back die-cut pieces. You will have to use the bad side of the die cuts so that the die cuts line up with the front. Trim anything that doesn't line up if necessary.

Background Design: 

For the background, I selected a skull-and-heart pattern from the Sweet & Spooky Paper Pad. The contrast of the soft pink hearts against the dark skulls gives the card a perfect Halloween vibe while keeping it playful.

Spinner Element: The spinner aspect of this card is what makes it extra fun! I used the Sweet Stacks Ovals to create an oval window in the center of the card. To assemble the spinner, I attached the clear thread to the top and bottom of the card base, securing it tightly with tape. For added stability, I pulled the thread ends to another area of the card base, secured them again with tape, and then trimmed off any excess. Finally, I adhered the top panel to the card front, sandwiching the thread between two layers of cardstock. This clever construction allows the bat to spin freely when the card is opened, adding a playful, interactive element that’s sure to delight!

Sentiment: 

The sentiment "I'm batty about you" was stamped using the Bee Creative Intense Black Ink onto a piece of pink cardstock. I then die-cut it using the coordinating Sweet Halloween Dies and adhered it below the spinner window.

Finishing Touches: 

To add a bit of sparkle, I embellished the card with the Sweet & Spooky Gem Stickers from the new Falloween Release. These stickers add just the right amount of shine to make the card pop.

This "Batty for You" spinner card is a delightful way to celebrate the Halloween season, and it’s sure to bring a smile to anyone who receives it. I hope this inspires you to create your own spooky-cute spinner card!

Thank you for stopping by and until next time... Happy Crafting!

Falloween Release Sneak Peeks Day 2 | Honey Bee Stamps

***Please note links in the post are no longer active, if you are looking for something specific use this link here to 👉 HONEY BEE STAMPS and search for the product listed. My apologies for the inconvenience ***

Today is Day 2 of the Falloween Release Sneak Peeks and I'm excited to share a playful and interactive shaker card that I created using some of the latest products. This card is perfect for sending a little Halloween cheer to someone special. Please note links are inactive until the Falloween Release goes live on August 23rd after the Live Release Party on YouTube at 8 pm EST.

CARD RECIPE

Spider - Lovely Layers: Scaredy Cat Dies

Spider Eyes - Sweet and Spooky Pearl Stickers

Background - Spider Web 3D Embossing Folder

Sentiment - Too Cute to Spook Dies

Frame - Layering Vintage Labels Frames

Shaker bits - Black Opal Confetti Mix, Aurora Lights Confetti Mix

Shaker - A2 Shaker Pockets

Background Magic:

I started with the Spider Web 3D Embossing Folder to create the spooky web background. Using the blackout technique, I blended yellow, pink, and blue inks from Inkon3 into the reversed embossed areas of the Tangled Web 3D Embossing Folder. The colors give a vibrant yet eerie glow, perfect for a Halloween-themed card.

Adding the Shaker Element:

To bring in some fun, I created a shaker element using the A2 Shaker Pockets. I filled the shaker with a mix of Black Opal Confetti Mix and Aurora Lights Confetti Mix. The iridescent confetti adds a playful shimmer that catches the light beautifully.

Focal Point & Sentiment:

The sentiment "Too Cute to Spook" is die-cut using the Too Cute to Spook Dies. I layered the sentiment onto a vellum shadow layer and glued it to the shaker, allowing it to stand out against the vibrant background.

For an extra touch of spookiness, I added a cute spider from the Lovely Layers: Scaredy Cat Dies. I used Sweet and Spooky Pearl Stickers for the spider's eyes, giving it an adorable yet mischievous look.

Framing It All:

Now, to fix a mistake I made I added the frame around the shaker pocket. Sadly I trimmed the background a little too much and you could see some of the adhesive of the pocket. So to salvage this I added a frame that I then used it to hang the Spider off of. The frame ties everything together and also gives the card a polished finished look.

This card is a delightful mix of spooky and cute, making it perfect for Halloween. The combination of the blackout technique, playful shaker elements, and the charming spider adds a fun and festive vibe to the design. I hope this card inspires you to create your own Falloween-themed projects using Honey Bee Stamps' latest release!
