Weekly Circle Challenge Post

This is going to be a quick post and I will enter in the recipe information later. I have to make dinner for my husband and my co-parents (in-laws) and so I wanted to get this in before the deadline. :)

Be Inspired Wednesday #107- Cauldron Card!

Good Wednesday morning and welcome to Be Inpsired #107 - A color challenge! Our challenge this week was to use the colors black, orange, green, purple, and a pop of red! I had so much fun with this and you should join in the challenge too!

I love this Haunted line from MME. At first I was a little worried about how I would use it, but it is gorgeous! For those of you that love kraft like me, you will love the versatility of this line. I am in love with this Harlequin Paper™! The flocking on it is gorgeous and precise. 

Recipe:

Cartridge: October 31st™

Gypsy™

Paper: My Mind’s Eye Haunted “Harlequin” Paper™, MME Blackbird “Trick-or-Treaters” Paper™, MME Blackbird “Halloween Words” Paper™, Core’dinations Nostalgia line

Instructions: 

1. Weld two cauldrons together on the Gypsy and hide all contours to make the base.
2. Cut out base and another regular cauldron to put on the front
3. Cut two sets of eyes from the October 31st Cartridge™ - one with the contours hidden again.
4. Run the top layer of the eyes through the Cuttlebug™ using the A2 Swiss Dots Folder™.
5. Attach layers together popping the eyes.
6. Use glossy accents to draw a line around the contours of the cauldron. Apply Pixie Stix black glitter and shake off excess. 
7. Stamp sentiment on the inside of the card.
8. Apply Glossy Accents to the spooky eyes.
9. Add Hero Arts self-adhesive gems (that’s how I got my red in there!). 
10. Let dry

I made another card that is being put on the website! This one is a little more simple and fun! :)

Hero Arts™ Adhesive gems

I am still learning how to heat emboss so sorry about the little black spots - I didn't notice them before I used the heat embosser so they are on there for good! But I am having a great time learning and it is definitely my new favorite thing to do to cards! :)

Now hop on over to the Passionately Artistic blog (the new name for the Cuttlebug Challenge Blog) and see what the other ladies have created! 

Round Spiderweb

I really enjoyed making this simple card. I hope you like it too! :) 

Recipe:

Cartridges: Wild Card™ (web and base) and October 31st™ (spider)

Embossing: Swiss Dots™

Paper: MME Meadowlark “Dawn” Circles Paper™ (spider)

MME Meadowlark “Dawn” Baroque Paper™ (web)

MME Blackbird “Spiders” Paper™ (base)

Sentiment: Haunted Stamps (Spooky)™

Ink: ColorBox™ Black

Glossy Accents™ 

Pixee Stix by Pink Paislee™

Instructions: 

1. Cut a round card base from Wild Card™

2. Cut a spider web sized to fit

3. Cut a spider

4. Use Glossy Accents™ to coat the spider web and apply plenty of Pixie Stix black glitter.

5. Let dry

6. Glossy Accents will cause the web to curl so just glue it down where you want it to be down. I did not glue all of it down as I wanted a 3D effect.

7. Add spider using pop dots on the web.

8. Give the spider some eyes. 

9. Cover the spider with glossy accents. 

10. Use the Haunted stamps to apply the word “Spooky”. (bottom left)

I made this to fill with candy and send to work with my husband. He already likes the bag so I am sure he will like it more with cookies or candy inside along with a love note. :)
