Halloween Card - Mummy

Just like the Frankenstein Card, this one was inspired from Angie Kennedy Juda as well. I really enjoyed making this card. From one piece of A4 you get 2 complete cards. I think I may need to make some more because these are much easier to make and I think I may make more of these to give away on Halloween!

What I did:

1. From an A4 card of SU! Sahara Sands, I cut two strips of 4" and then cut this in half, making 4 cards from this one piece.


2. I used one of the cards and cut it in half, and then used one of these halves and torn strips sidewards.


3. I scrunch each strip and using a sponge, I sponged each strip edge with Chocolate ink.
   
4. Using a 1/2" circle punch, I punched 2 white circles and using a 1/4" circle punch, punched 2 black circles for the eyes


5. Using a 1/2" punch, punched a cream circle and cut it in half for the nose.


6. Using one of the strips with a straight edge I started gluing each strip one of top of each other, until the front is completely covered.


7. To complete the card, I glued the nose in place; and the eyes I partially put it within strips and glued it in place.

And Voila!

Halloween Card - Frankenstein

I have been following Angie Kennedy Juda blog for some months now and she has created a number of Halloween cards that I have been wanting to copy for a while. In patitcular 3 that she created to look like Frankenstein, Dracula and a Mummy. So today, inspired by Frankenstein Box, I created a mini Frankenstein card.

What I did:

1. I used Old Olive SU card stock and cut it into 3 strips of 4" each and then each strip I cut in half, creating a card 4" x 6" (folded in half).


2. Using black card stock I cut a strip of 2 1/2" and then used my Martha Stewart punch to imitate his hair. I cut a 3" piece and attached it to the top of the card.
   
3. For the eyes, I cut 2 x circles using the 1/2" circle punch on white card stock and 2 x circles using the 1/4" circle punch on black cardstock. Stack the black circles towards the bottom of the white circles.


4. For the eyelid I used a 1" circle punch on SU Old Olive card stock and cut the circle in half. These were too big so I cut about 1/8" from the curve area and attached these the eyes above. Ideally I should have used a 3/8" cirle punch but I don't have it (yet!!!)


5. For the nose, I used a SU Green cardstock and 1/2" circle punch and cut the piece in half.


6. As the final touch, I used a black marker and created its mouth in the shape of a "W" as well as some scar marks on its face.

I'm very pleased with the result and even more importantly, very pleased with finally taking the plung this weekend and using some of the supplies I have to re-create some of the cards and items that I have admire on so many blogs for some months. YEAH!!!!!

The next one I want to do is the Mummy one. So watch out.
