Halloween Card with a Peekaboo Shaker

Since Halloween is just a few days away, I made another Peekaboo Shaker using these little critters and images from the Halloween Friends froPretty Pink Posh along with the same tags from my previous post. 

I love to mail out cards with little surprises so this works perfect! Also, I used the Coordinating die to help me cut these little images making it fast. 

As you can tell, I've been having fun with some distress ink and a stencil again to create the background. Here I used Chipped Sapphire, Dusty Concord, and Seedless Preserves.

First add the ink onto the stencil, spritz it with water, and apply the stencil directly to an A2 size water color panel. Repeated the process for each color and know that each time you will get a different result. 

You can click here to see previous post on another card I made using this technique if you want.

Enjoying these little tags from the Stitched Essentials 1 and how I can cut all three tags at once. Plus the new Peekaboo Windows work perfect with them. 

Again, these are fast and easy to make. More details on how I assembled the tags can be found on my previous post. For the black hills, I used the Scallop Borders and die cut two pieces to overlap them together. 

For this card, I used several sequin colors starting with 4mm Tangerine4mm Sugar Plum Mix, 4mm Mossy Green, and a touch of 4mm Sparkling clear 

Also, I added some 4mm clear droplets as I love the way they look against this background. Hope you enjoyed and give them a try.

Peek A Boo Shaker for Halloween


Loving these little critters and images from the Halloween Friends set from Pretty Pink Posh so I thought to create some Halloween cards for family and friends based on the same tags in my previous post. 

This way, I could mail out a little surprise as it uses the Peekaboo feature and for those local, Halloween Treat bags. Also, used the Coordinating die to help me cut out all of these little images which made it go faster    

Once again, I played with some distress ink and a stencil to create the background by first adding the ink onto the stencil, spritzing it with water and applying the stencil directly to an A2 size water color panel. 

Repeated the process for all three colors: Mowed Lawn, Scattered Straw, and Spiced Marmalade. If you would like to see previous post using this technique, you can click here. Each time I use this technique, I get a different result, so if anything have fun with it and play with more or less colors.

Love these little tags from the Stitched Essentials 1 collection for their size and how each one is shaped slightly different. Also, I was able to die cut all three tags at once and use the new Peekaboo Windows as they work so well with them. 

Again, these tags are easy and fast to create and didn't take much time to put this Halloween card together. More details on how I assembled these tags can be found on my previous post. For the grass hills, I used the Stitched Borders 4 along with some Jellybean card stock.

Hope you enjoyed and give them a try as they are fun to make. Now thinking these little tags might come in handy for Christmas time as well. For the final touch, I did add some 4mm clear droplets to add little more detail to the background plus I love how they look like water drops.
