Hi crafty friends!! I hope everyone is getting ready for some cooler fall days. Fall is my favorite season. I love all the autumn colors and Halloween! The colors of Halloween are my favorites. Today, I have a fun card using the NEW Halloween release from La La Land Crafts and an EZ Light from Pear Blossom Press. If you arrived here from the Pear Blossom Press Blog, welcome and please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss any of my posts.
ALL SUPPLIES ARE LISTED BELOW!!
- Cut 4.25×5.5″ panel from La La Land’s Trick or Trick Paper Pack.
- Use two largest dies from the A2 Layers Die Set to cut a frame from black glitter cardstock. Adhere this to the panel just cut from the Paper Pack.
- Die cut Spooky House Die from Black Distress Heavystock.
- Spatter with Frozen Fog Mica Spray over house.
- Die cut all smaller windows of Spooky House with black glitter cardstock, tombstone with purple glitter cardstock, and door windows with orange glitter cardstock.
- Adhere all these pieces on top of the black Spooky House. This adds some dimension and interest to these parts of this die.
- Adhere small pieces of Vellum – Translucent White behind the three smaller windows. The EZ Light will light up these three windows.
- Using 1/8″ punch, punch holes in background panel so that the holes are behind the windows. I use a pencil to help me place the holes where I need them.
- Determine where to place ” PUSH” from the PB Press Stamp and Die Bundle, then heat emboss with black ink and clear embossing powder.
- Use clear tape to secure the lights from an EZ Light in each of the three holes. Make sure they are secure and don’t rotate. Place battery in light system and make sure lights light up as wanted.
- Place thin strips of 1mm Foam Tape around the windows and back of the Spooky House and adhere to front placing windows over the lights.
- Adhere battery pack under “PUSH” on the back of the panel. I use a little double sided tape then secure in place with World’s Greatest Foam Tape around the battery pack.
- Use World’s Greatest Foam Tape around back of entire panel to pop it up.
- Heat emboss a sentiment from the La La Land Crafts Get Spooky Stamp Set with black ink and clear embossing powder on white cardstock.
- Die cut the sentiment out with Lawn Fawn’s Everyday Sentiment Banners. Pop up on card using foam strips.
- Remove release paper from World’s Greatest Foam Tape and place on a top folding heavy weight card base.
I love how this card turned out and is better than what I pictured in my head when I started creating. The World’s Greatest Foam Tape from Pear Blossom Press is double thick and is made to be the perfect height to work with their light systems. I also love that it is repositionable for 30 minutes before it becomes permanent. Make sure to check out La La Lands Crafts NEW Halloween release.
Thank you for stopping by and I hope you are inspired to start creating some Halloween cards. I think Halloween cards are perfect for the EZ Lights. If you haven’t already, go to the Pear Blossom Press Blog and check out all the inspiration.
Happy crafting! April
