I don’t think I have ever made a Halloween card … so here’s a first, which is destined to go in my friends little boys Halloween pack from Aunty Helen!
Not only have I used Lisa’s Sizzix pumpkins, bats and papers … but I have finally used one of Marc’s Sixxiz Flip-It Card blanks (No. 657591)! Last time I was with Marc in August he sat, while we watched Celebrity Big Brother and drank giant vodka and cokes and patiently cut me out piles and piles of these cards in black and white ……
Not a lot to the card really …. but Marc and I both loved the Flip-It aspect of the card, where you can have two toppers for the price of one …. or just a sentiment to flip ….. I have always shied away from dimensional cards …. to complicated for my simple mind to get around …. but I have quite enjoyed making this one, very simple and experimental as it is ….. I know you can get a lot more elaborate as I have seen on Google.
However, when I stay with Marc again at the end of this month I shall hopefully be taking some more double sided Christmas and floral patterned card as I have a few more ideas I would like to try out.

Especially effective and that feature will make it extra special for that little boy to display....Dianne
ReplyDeleteIt's brilliant! I love Halloween and so far this month I have 7 ATCs and a card to make in the Halloween theme!
ReplyDeleteFabulous cards! That must be a brilliant die! I'll have to try to find a tutorial that shows me measurements for cutting them by hand, as I don't have that die.
