Cricut Cardz Challenge #40

Hi Everybody!
Ok, I don't know if I have ever been this excited to show a project!  This is my first project for the Cricut Cardz Challenge Design Team.  We were to use a scalloped shape (oval, circle, rectangle, or square).  I decided to use the negative space for a scalloped rectangle. Since Halloween is my absolute FAVORITE holiday, I wanted to make that my theme.  I came up with this shaker card. I just love how the ghosts look like they are floating through the house!  Here are the details:

*Tags, Bags, Boxes and More cart
*shaker box cut @ 4.5"
*used my Gypsy to lay a scalloped rectangle on the front
*scalloped rectangle is 3.43"
*paper is AC Specialty Foil paper
*Boo and Haunted House are from Stampin' Up
*ghost are confetti that I've had in my stash for YEARS



*The blingy brads in the corners are from Recollections (sent to me by my Circle Sister-Hi Karen!!)
*I used StazOn Jet Black ink to stamp on the plastic.
*The plastic I used is the packaging from a Cricut cart!
*Stamping the haunted house on the plastic was perfect to show the ghost going "through" the house.

*I used the part of the rectangle that was cut out, and flipped it over to use the white side. Then I sprayed it with Graphite Glimmer Mist.
*I used my ATG gun and glued down a piece of patterned paper, then layered the frame on top of it.





I really like that foil paper.  It has great texture, and is so shiny!

 

Thanks so much for looking, and don't forget to head over to the Cricut Cardz Challenge to enter your project!
