Halloween Theme Week- Day 7

Hi, friends! It’s Lauren and I am back with a new video today. I am continuing my box card series for the year with the best time of year – Halloween!

To start my card, I am going to do my stenciling first as I’m going to be using stencil paste and want to make sure the details dry while I work on other parts of the card. I cut the Scallop Box Card Dies (the back arch and two rectangles) out of purple cardstock and used the Layered Birch Trees Stencils. For the (A) stencil I used Black Soot Distress Oxide and for the (B) stencil I used Grrr! Simon Hurley Lunar Paste.

While that was drying, I cut the Scallop Box Card Dies side scallop pieces and one more rectangle out of brown glitter cardstock and the base of the box card out of dark grey cardstock. I assembled the box together and you can follow along in the video if you’d like to see each step of the process.

Once the box card was assembled and I added on all of the scalloped pieces – including the stenciled pieces once they were dry – it’s time to decorate! I stamped all of the bats from the Batty About You stamp set and colored them in with alcohol markers. I used the coordinating dies to cut them all out after I added some white highlights with a gel pen.

For the sentiment, I die cut a scalloped rectangle out of purple cardstock and a rectangle from white cardstock from the Sentiment Strips Dies. I stamped my sentiment with a black ink from the Batty About You stamp set. I added the sentiment strips and a bat to the front of the box card and a few bats to the back arch with foam adhesive.

There are two bats I added with acetate strips to the center pieces of the box card so it looks like they’re flying! I just love how fun this card turned out and honestly I think you could use for any bat lover in your life, not just for Halloween.

I hope you enjoyed the Halloween box card and I’m excited to get more in the fall mood for next month!
