Hey BOO! How are you, my crafty boos? Happy almost Friday! We call it Friday Eve! LOL. September is rolling along, Fall is officially here, and it's going to be 100 degrees where I live again! OY. Maybe if I love Fall hard enough I can will it to come to Sacramento! Hahaha. I hope you had a good week and I hope the change of season is treating you well. I'm in Halloween creating mode and trying to get all my ideas made and shared with you. Also, in the craft room, is the new release from The Greetery. You guys are gonna love it (Christmas!)... Stay tuned for that. I've been taking Christmas photos today. Best wishes for a fun weekend.
Today's card features awesome and super fun dies from the Sunday Drive Series from our friends at Spellbinders! Such a fun concept and this card made me smile the entire time I was making it. The finished card is a 5.25" x 5.25" square white card base. Layered with some lime green paper and then my top layer. Oh, and clouds are back (LOL)!!
The Sunday Drive Dies collection is a car that looks like it's driving away - so clever! And then you can change out the words on the trunk lid and change the characters that are inside the car!! I used the Halloween ones that make a witch and skeleton. But there are also one for Christmas - Santa and a reindeer. EEK. The main die set has balloons and birthday images.
You know I'm obsessed with clouds right now... These clouds were stenciled with white pigment ink onto black cardstock. Voila - spooky night sky! I splattered some white paint to look like stars... To build my scene I die cut a moon from vellum so that the clouds would come through. It looks like they're driving away into the sunset moonset!
There are a lot of little pieces involved here but the set comes with a guide so you know exactly what each piece is. I like that you can customize every single thing to the color you want it. I chose to make a teal and purple monster car... And then customized the witch hair, hat, broom....
I die cut some bats and skeletons... I wanted to somehow use the balloons from the main die set... Hmmmmm.... Then it came to me: Skeleton Balloons! Ha! These spooky friends are maybe driving off to a Halloween party??!! The balloons are die cut with vellum and then I glued tiny skeletons onto them. I used several colors of Stickles to add glitter and shimmer to certain pieces of the scene.
I used foam tape and foam dots to assemble everything. A few spooky bats flying around them...
I used Copic Markers to add some accents and shadows to the 'hey boo,' the leaves, the hair, broom and skeleton eye sockets.
Hope I didn't scare ya today! Thanks for coming by to see my fun Halloween card. Are you making Halloween crafts yet? I feel like every year it sneaks up on me. Once September comes, the year seems to fly by so quickly. I have lots more things I want to make! Have a great weekend. XOXO

I was tickled just reading about this darling card! It sounds as if you were really have fun with this one. Love the colors and layers and thanks for the tip on those amazing clouds. I did sneak in 7 treat holders for Halloween while my husband was working on some wiring for our new addition. I am getting way behind on my crafting with this project and closing up the garden for the season...eek, so much to do, so little time... Hey Boo to You!
