Hello! Welcome back to my blog. As the title says, this card is a product of digging through my Halloween craft stash box. I have a designated box for Halloween because I used to create class give aways for my sons' Halloween parties. My sons have all grown up. I still have a 6th grader to whom I might still be able to create give aways.
I am also motivated to create this card to participate in Woodblock Wednesday's challenge.
One of the left over crafts I have in my Halloween box is a die cut tag with this heat embossed bat. I trimmed the tag into a rectangle shape. I matted this with a black patterned paper die cut with a deckled rectangle die. I matted this with an orange cardstock. I added spider webs to the corners of the orange mat.
For the background panel, I arranged several scrap of patterned paper strips from my Halloween craft stash box. Once I am happy with the arrangement, I adhered this to a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" scrap paper. I adhered the strips diagonally. I filled the whole panel with the paper strips. I trimmed off the excess hanging over the 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" panel. I lightly blended a black dye ink to the edges of this strip panel. I trimmed a sliver off each side, around 1/18". I adhered this to a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" orange cardstock. Then, adhered it to a top folding A2 note card.
I hope today's project encourages you to look into your stash and come up with something new out of it. I enjoyed giving these strips of paper a new life. I am sure you will enjoy doing it too. Thank you for visiting my blog. Have a blessed, brilliant and creative day!
