Halloween

JHH's Card (WMSC120)

Good MORN-ing Bloggers! Welcome. What a gorgeous day it is outside. Sunny, cool, pretty blue sky. DH is feeling better today, so maybe some adventures out & about. (well, for one thing we need to visit the post office to mail some cards!!! LOL. Maybe some nice lunch somewhere -hmmm??? Take a ride in the country to see some fall color. Enough adventure for 2 old duffers like us!!!)OK, here's a card to share, made by my sometimes talented DH - as in, when he wants to be. Now I helped with the technical stuff, like cutting the paper to the proper size, doing the diecutting, fussy gluing...the HARD stuff, you know? But DH picked out the die he wanted to use for the design, the papers, told me how he wanted the card to look, etc. So for the arty stuff, he gets the credit.
The die is Enchanted Flight, by Cheery Lynn. Ran it through the Big Shot 4 passes - (front,back,front,back again). This is lightweight paper, and we had 2 sheets in the sandwich. It cut very well. Sometimes I have to do battle with the CL dies. Didn't realize the 2 sheets had stuck together until DH went to get the pokeys out (that was his assignment and he had no choice but to accept it). He said "Did you mean to cut 2 pieces of paper?" Well, no I didn't, but we were able to make 4 cards for him to send out to his specific addresses, when we had meant to just make 2. Of course he can come up with 2 more folks to send the extras. The orange paper was embossed with the dots C/Bug EF, and the yellow moon, punched with an SU circle punch - was out of some pearlized paper. He used a white gel pin for the Keep out sign. Inside, he punched a big black bat, glued to the insert, and stamped some appropriate Halloween sentiments. I thought it was a neat card, I'm proud of him for making it, and thought we'd share it with you. The liquid glue used for the fussy diecut was by Alene's and is called Tacky Easy Flow. I get this at Scrapbook Creations, and learned about it in a class held there. I would think your local stamping supplier would have or be able to get this, or possibly some of the online sites might sell it. This glue is stored laying down, not upright. You don't need a solid bead of it - just bits & dabs along where you need it. Dries clear and if stored as directed, I've never had to unclog it. I highly recommend it for this type of adhesion. Can you imagine trying to put tape on all these little bits? Not me!!! Have a Blessed day.

Edit: Just saw where Waltzing Mouse  is having a challenge and has opened it so that the entry doesn't HAVE to have Waltzing Mouse stamps used. So I think I'll enter this card...This is a great site, with lovely stamps. Check it out when you have time.
