I still have 21 days until Halloween yet I've already started buying candy for the trick o' treaters! I'm a peanut lover, so out of all the candy to choose from, my favorite has to be the Snickers mini bars. It's been my little dessert for the past week & I'm not sure I'll have any left for the kids by the time October 31st comes around. I decided to channel my cravings for candy into this week's mini-card. Check out how I made the card & information about this week's giveaway below!
As the base of the card, I chose white cardstock measuring at 3"x3". I taped a piece of kraft pattern paper in the middle & then punched a circle in the center so that the inside was exposed. The kraft only had black print on it so I used orange Copic markers to add some color.
I wanted the main focus of the card to be a clear 'trick or treat' pumpkin bag stamp from Inkadinkadoo. I came up with an idea of using those sequin pieces as candy. I took a bunch of assorted pieces & layered each on top of one another using a lot of glue dots. And to make it look like a stuffed pumpkin bag filled with sugar goodies, I had to reink, color, & cut another pumpkin & put dimensional adhesives on top of the original one.
I stamped & colored in the 'TRICK OR TREAT' banner & adhered it to the bottom portion of the card. I tried to blend in the dark & light orange Copic markers for both the pumpkin & banner as best as I could. Finally, I added touches to the edges of the card with distress ink & a pigma micron pen.
For a list of supplies I used to make this card, look below.
Of course this post would not be complete without a giveaway!!! The prize is a pack of 5 cards so leave a comment on this post below before 10pm on Friday, October 14th, 2011.
Again if you would like to purchase this mini-card, email or comment below & I'll put them up in my online shop. Life is sort of hectic right now or else I would have already had the cards up in the shop. Hopefully by next month, I'll start adding the mini-cards into the shop as I post one each week. I'm sorry for any inconvenience.
As for last week's giveaway, the lucky winner is Nehal Patel (Congrats!). I have already emailed her so I will be sending her package out to the post office ASAP!
Good luck everyone!
