Hello everyone! Liesbeth here with two ATC's with those gorgeous gnome witches for our current challenge Gnome-vember. Aren't they lovely?

I stamped Gnome Witch with stars and Gnome Witch no stars onto a glossy alcoholink-coloured ATC and coloured the witches with Ecoline markers and finishes the atc's with glitter glue and white gel pen.

 Hi, Riet here with a Iris shutter slimline card.

Hi there, today I have an iris shutter card for you.

Made with the super cute gnome witches from lost Coast designs.

This is what I used to make this card.

Iris shutter die (Elizabeth crafts Designs.)

Flying bats die.

Pumpkins die.

Slimline frame (Marianne design)

Halloween stencil (BOO and pumkin face).

Distressink,

Musterd seed,

Twisted citron,

Spiced Marmelade,

Picked rasberry,

Seedless preserves,

Dusty Concord

Black water resistend ink.

White gelpen,

Red posca marker

Black marker.

Color pencils.

How to make the card.

Start by die cutting all the iris shutter parts.

Ink them up as shown on the photo's.

Put all the parts aside and let them air dry. 

Do not use a heat tool. 

The shutter parts will warp and they need to stay flat.

Punch a 1.5 inch cirkel and stamp the little star with.

Color the background and the witch.

Color the edge with Dusty concord.

Assemble the iris shutter as explained on the packaging.

Draw a pumpkin face on the iris shutter with the black marker.

We splash some Seedless preserves on the top ring of the shutter and sponge the word BOO on it.

Glue it to the iris shutter.

Stamp the witch, spiderweb, text on the pink background.

And the checkerboard above and below the purple background card.

Give the stamps accents with the white gel pen.

Assemble the iris shutter further as stated on the packaging of the die.

Can't figure it out? Then look up a video on YouTube.

That will help you through it.

I decorated with bats and pumpkins, but you can of course do that to your own taste.

I had a lot of fun making this card.

I'm curious to see what you make for Halloween.

Feel free to show us on the LCD/CV Blog or Facebook.

You'll then join the challenge and have a chance to win new stamps. 

How cool is that?

31 Days of Halloween: Day 15 Flat slim line shaker card

Welcome back to Lost Coast Portal to Creativity where Lost Coast Designs and Carmen's Veranda collide to bring you twice the inspiration and double the fun!

Cathy here with day 15

Stamps used: 

Gnome witch with no stars

Pieces of calligraphy 

Fly from the bugz set

Flying birds

I started out with some watercolor paper and distress oxide spays and some distress spays in Halloween colors. I then cut it with a die cut to make it into a slim lime card front. Next I stampedPieces of calligraphy  randomly on the background I also did that with the   Fly from the bugz set and the Flying birds but with this one I cut one of the birds from the background stamp so I could use only one. 

Then I stamped and cut out Gnome witch with no stars and colored her with copic markers. 

To make the flat slim line shaker I took a shaker pocket and covered the front and taped up 3 of the sides of it. Then I added my shaker Halloween mix and some rat confetti that I had. 

Use some red liner tape to tape  Gnome witch with no stars to the front of the shaker pocket after you sealed the last of the pocket and then you then add it to the front of the slim line card base. 

I used red liner tape for that also.

Come join the Halloween fun here.
