Halloween Fun From a Friend
My
friend, designer Judi Kauffman fell in love with my new Halloween Confetti
dies and shared two cards she made that feature them. She chose speckled black cardstock (she thought the speckles added an
extra bit of creepiness). Those itty bitty sparkly red eyes on
the crows, spiders, bats, and cats are the smallest size on the
Glitter Dots peel-off sheet from Elizabeth Craft Designs (there are four sizes
and several hundred dots per sheet). The sparkly spider webs are Black
Iris Shimmer Sheetz embossed with Tim Holtz's Sizzix folder. The embossed
words, also one of Tim's folders, were smudged with StazOn to highlight the
letters. She toned down some of the sparkle on the Shimmer Sheetz with
StazOn (Tsukineko). Super fast, very easy. Thanks Judi I love them!

Blog Candy Winners! - Wishing you a Purr-fect Halloween
Here are the lucky winners of the Halloween Confetti Die Cutters: Loes Pasteuning, Julie Heyer and Patty Hebert. Congratulations! Thanks to one and all for joining in the fun.
Here's how to make this card:
Supplies:
Black cardstock
White cardstock
MSRS Halloween Confetti Die Cutters
3" circle hole punch
2" circle hole punch
Cuttlebug or any other embossing machine
glue
Paper cutter
Steps:
Cut a 6 1/2" x 7 1/2" piece from the black cardstock and a 6 1/2" x 6 1/2" piece from the black cardstock. Score the 7 1/2" piece at 1" and fold down. Put glue on the 1" folded tab and glue the 6 1/2" x 6 1/2" piece on top to make a 6 1/2" x 6 1/2" square card.
Cut two 6" squares from the white cardstock. Center one on the front of the card and one on the inside as a liner.
Die cut 12 black cats and set aside.
Punch out a 3" round from the black cardstock and a 2" round from the white cardstock .
Glue the cats by their feet all around the black cardstock as shown. (I spray glued the finished "circle of cats" on the back and glued it down to the front of the card.)
Add the white circle to the center of the black circle and glue one more cat inside the circle. Feel free to make your own variations and add your own style to this basic design. Have fun!
