Floating Easel Cards Tutorial

I love Halloween… When my daughter was little, I loved having parties with the kids, and of course who can resist the candy?  Halloween will surely look different this year, but we can still send some spooky-fun cards!  The new Halloween Floating Easel cards are the perfect solution.  There are two new versions, the Floating Easel Card Spider Web (SVG, Silhouette) and the Floating Easel Card Haunted House (SVG, Silhouette).  Take a peek…

I put together a quick tutorial for the floating easel cards using the Haunted House version.  It’s really pretty simple.

Start by cutting the pieces and piecing together the ghost face and the pumpkin. I also glued the solid square into the inside of the card as shown. The sentiment is done using the print and cut feature of your cutting machine.  To assemble you will also need a piece of fishing wire or clear jewelry thread.

  1.  Add strong adhesive ( I used score tape) to the blank ghost piece.  Lay the piece of fishing line over the center.
  2. Cover with the ghost “face” piece.
  3. On the haunted house frame without the fence (call this the back frame)  Add some score tape or strong adhesive to the center of the top and the center of the bottom.   Center the ghost inside the frame and pull the fishing line tight and stick the ends to the tape on the frame.  Cover with the top frame (the one with the fence, not shown)
  4. I secured the fishing line a bit more by folding it over the back of the frame and securing with some washi tape.  I then trimmed the extra fishing line.
  5. Fold the card base closed.  Add the decorative panel to the outside, making sure to align the openings.
  6. Fold the top in half along the score lines.  Attach the frame to the bottom half of the card only.  Make sure you do not add adhesive to the top half of the house.
  7. Add the little pumpkin to the front.
  8. Using some foam tape or pop dots, add the sentiment to the inside of the card about 2/3 up the card so that when the card top rests against it the house stands up.

One more note… if you wish, you can add a second string going horizontally to secure the ghost further and make sure it does not twist.

When you fold the top of the card and stand it against the sentiment, it looks like the ghost is floating in the house!

The card also folds flat and will fit into Lori’s Center Box Card Envelope here.  That’s it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!

Haunted House Box Card

It’s October, which means that it’s time to begin the Halloween fun! Do you send Halloween cards? I do, and I have a fun card to share with you today.

Back in the 50’s, there was a black and white movie with Vincent Price about a House on Haunted Hill. In the movies, the house is always on top of a hill! That was my inspiration for my version of this classic Lori Whitlock box card with friendly little Halloween ghosts who roam about the neighborhood. You can find the file to make your own Haunted House A2 card at the Lori Whitlock SVG Shop as well as at the Silhouette Design Store. The card is fun to put together and will be a nice treat for someone special.

Have a crafty day!

We would like to welcome yet another Creative Team Member, Mendi Yoshikawa. I am so excited to share with you her talents. She used so many of Lori’s shapes on this one project, I had to have her give me a list.

Mendi said ‘These fun pocket cards are perfect for sending personal messages to loved ones over Halloween. They would be so great to slip in a child’s lunchbox on Halloween day or to send to a grandparent as happy mail this month!” Mendi has some great projects and instructions on her blog, be sure to check it out here.

Today we have eye candy from 2 different designers. This last one is by me, Lisa Bell. I created this fun Halloween Banner last weekend to decorate my house. (I love that Mendi and I used some of the same Echo Park Happy Halloween papers.)  I  used every Halloween paper I had in my stash for this. Halloween papers tend to stay the same color schemes which is great when you can’t find the papers you want anymore.

I used the “Build A Banner Set” for the base and the “Vintage Font” for the title. Then decorated with bats from “Halloween Embellishments 1” and “Haunted House,” “Spider and Web” for the web and spider, and the skull and cross bones from “Halloween Embellishments 2.” I have more detailed pictures and instructions on my blog here so hop on over.

Thanks for sharing a moment with us while celebrating Halloween!
