Welcome to the Haunted Halloween Blog Hop!! This is the FIRST blog hop I have ever participated in, and I am so excited to have everyone here. You are in for such a treat!! We have several spooky and creepy halloween projects just in time to recreate for Halloween!! This should be your 6th stop on the blog hopping trail. If you have arrived here from Nonnasscraps, you are are the right track!! If you just found this post, you will want to grab your favorite Halloween treat and head over to cricutconfessions to start from the beginning. There are lots of treats (and maybe a few tricks) along the way so keep hopping!
I am SO SUPER excited to share my project with everyone today. I have wanted to make an easel card for SO LONG, and I finally did it for this hop!! Since it's my first blog hop I decided to make something a little fancy, but representative of other things you see here on my blog (just in case you decide to become a follower). I think it turned out super cute. It was so much fun, I think I may do a video after I take my BIG exam. I found the Peachy Keen "Make A Monster" face at my local scrapbook store and I was so excited to use them. They stamp beautifully, and it is so much easier than trying to cut little eyes on the cricut.
This is my card when it is upright...like an easel.
Here is my little monster up close!! Isn't he super cute? I just love him! You can fold the card down to mail it (it is an A2 size card when folded).
Here is a picture of the inside of the card. Sorry it's sideways. I put a plain white piece of paper in there so the writing could be seen better, but it's optional.
Supplies Used:
Stampin' Up solid cardstock
DCVW Halloween stack (patterned paper)
Mini Monsters Cricut Cartridge
Ribbon from Michaels
Peachy Keen "Make A Monster" Face Assortment
MS "Drippy Goo" punch
Stampin Up brads
My Pink Stamper "Spooky Puns" stamp set
Now, onto the treats!! For today's blog candy, I am giving away a MS "Drippy goo" punch (trust me, you can't live without this one), a set of die cut spiders, two color box mini inks, and two stamp sets from Scrappy Cat. All you have to do to win this wonderful treat is leave a comment below telling me your favorite halloween costume!! Don't forget to leave your contact information. I will be randomly choosing a winner Tuesday, October 12th.
The next stop on our haunted halloween trail is Crafty Sentiments! She will have a creepy new project for you as well as some fun treats!! Don't forget to become a follower of my blog...if you dare!! Don't forget to stop by on October 12th to see if you won!!
Happy Haunted Crafting!
Lauren

omg! SO SO SO cute! LOVE the card! and the peachy keen stamp is PERFECT!
ReplyDeletemy fave costume- when I was a kid, my mom made me a "Ms. World" costume. She used a giant beachball (I was only in 3rd grade) and paper machaed it. She painted it to look like a globe and cut leg, arm, and head openings. then made a sash that said Ms. World on it- like a parody of a beauty pageant. It was awesome! lol.
My favorite costume was a bag of grapes. I had on a clear garbage bag that was filled with purple balloons. It wasn't easy to sit in but it was definately creative.
ReplyDeleteLoved your projects!

ReplyDeleteHey Lauren. I'm new to your blog and now following. If I was to choose a costume for now, or maybe 20 years ago, it would be to dress like a dead prom queen from the 50's. You know like that song Leader of the Pack. Thanks for letting me enter.
