From the Vintage Voyage paper, fussy cut the spells book, women on bike, wishing you a happy banner, love potion sign, potions image and cut the card with clocks down to 1 1/4" x 2 1/2". Sand the edges of the pieces. 

From the Nevermore Paper, fussy cut the bat, moon balloon and crow out. Sand the edges of the pieces.

Adhere a second stamp 7/8" from the right and 1/8" from the bottom of the spell paper. 

Adhere the potions image 1/8" over the left side and 7/8" from the top of the spell paper. Adhere the love potion sign and third stamp to the right side of the spell book as desired. Roll down the top left corner of the stamp. Use foam squares to adhere the spells book 1" from the left and 1/2" from the top of the spell paper.

Use foam squares to adhere the Wishing You A Happy Halloween Banner to the bottom portion of the spells book. 

Add seven black and gold Matte Pearl Gems to the cardfront as desired. 

To finish the card, cut a cardbase out of kraft cardstock that measures 4 1/4" x 11", score at 5 1/2". Adhere the cardfront to the cardbase.

From the ephemera and label paper, fussy cut the large resting witch bottle, pink bottle with skull, cauldron and ghoul. Die cut a B out of white cardstock and ink it using Carved Pumpkin Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam. Distress the edges of both fishtails. 

Adhere the two fishtails together. Use adhesive and foam squares to adhere the bottles, ghoul and cauldron to the left side of the fishtail. Adhere the B to the right of the large bottle. Use foam squares to adhere the three bats amongst the B and images. 

Next, we will create the O Banner. You'll need the green striped paper and the green bubble patterned paper. Die cut a 4 1/2" Stitched Fishtail out of the green striped paper.

Now, we will create the O! Banner. You'll need the black & green slime paper along with the purple patterned paper. Die cut a 4 1/2" Stitched Fishtail out of the black & green slime paper. Die cut a 4" Stitched Fishtail out of the purple patterned paper. Fussy cut three small bats out of the bat paper. From the ephemera paper, fussy cut three bottles out.

To finish the banner, punch two holes at the top of each banner. String black twine through the holes of each banner.

Elizabeth Craft Designs September Group Post - Trick or Treat: Halloween Projects

Happy Sunday!

We are switching things up on the Elizabeth Craft Designs blog this year and instead of having a designer challenge, we are having group posts each month. Each month the group post will have a theme and some or all of the design team members will participate. For September's theme it's all about Halloween! 

 For this month's group post, I created this Happy Halloween tag, the perfect halloween tag to add to a gift or a trick or treat bag. To create my tag, I've used dies from Joset Designs. Grab your favourite fall beverage and read below as I have a tutorial for you so that you can re-create my tag at home. You'll also want to make sure to stop by the Elizabeth Craft Designs Blog to check out the rest of the team's projects. 

To start, you'll need some a couple pieces of halloween patterned paper. Die cut the 2 1/2" and 3" Stitched Indented Rectangles out of the patterned papers. Distress the edges of both pieces. Ink the edges of both pieces using Black Soot Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam. 

From the Words 3 - Happy Holidays die, die cut the Happy Halloween sentiment out of White Soft Finish Cardstock.

Die cut the Iron Fence out of Rich Black Soft Finish Cardstock. Rub Art Alchemy Metallique Wax - Brushed Iron over the fence.

Die cut two bats from the Halloween Accessories die out of Rich Black Soft Finish Cardstock.

From the Haunted House set, die cut the house out of Rich Black Soft Finish Cardstock.

Die cut the Spider Web from the Spider Web die out of Rich Black Soft Finish Cardstock. Cut the small spider web out of the center of the big spider web. Using a Clear Glitter pen, colour the small spider web.

Adhere the small spider web to the 3" rectangle. Adhere the 2 1/2" rectangle to the 3" rectangle.

Adhere the fence to the bottom portion of the 2 1/2" rectangle. Foam square the haunted house to the left hand side of the 2 1/2" rectangle.

Use foam squares to adhere the bats in the top right corner of the 2 1/2" rectangle. Adhere the Happy Halloween sentiment to the bottom right side of the rectangles. Punch a small hole at the top of the rectangles. Tie a piece of black twine through the hole.

Here are a few closeups of the tag.
