Marla is back on the blog today with a sweet treat design full of bright colors that really pop! Let’s see what she pulled out of her crafty bag of tricks to add dimension and shine to this design.

  • Cut a piece of cardstock using our 5806D Postage Stamp Nested Die from white cardstock.
  • Cut the textured cheesecloth layer using our 5827D Cheesecloth die and white cardstock.
  • Add a light touch of color to the center with an ink color of your choice.
  • Use our 5013D Nested Rectangle Sm Stitch to “square up” the cheese cloth layer.
  • Die cut the sentiment using our 5734-03D Trick or Treat w/Shadow cutting the letters from white cardstock and the shadow from vellum.
  • Color the sentiment using alcohol markers.
  • Add shine and dimension to the sentiment by heat embossing with Ultra Thick Embossing Powder before assembling the sentiment to the shadow layer.
  • Using white cardstock and our 5840-03D Trick or Treat Bucket Die cut out the candy and ghosts from white cardstock.
  • Cut a second layer of ghosts from black cardstock.
  • Ink the edges of the white layer of ghosts with black ink before cutting out the face.
  • Assemble the two ghost layers.
  • Color the candy using alcohol markers.
  • Cut out the sentiment for the taffy candy using our 5842-01D Sweet Treats Sayings from white cardstock, color and assemble.
  • After adding the sentiment to the taffy, heat emboss all of the images using Ultra Thick Embossing powder.
  • Add dimensional foam tape to the postage layer before adhering it to an A2 card base.
  • Assemble the rest of the card.
