Pop Up Halloween Card

Hello!  It's time for Karen Burniston's October Designer Challenge, where she challenged her Design Team to create a card with the theme 'Haunted - create a Halloween Card'. I combined some new release dies with some previously released ones and since I didn't do a YouTube video I have lots of photos in this post!

I pulled out some retired patterned paper but everything that is available is linked below for you. The Happy Halloween was layered onto a Crosshatch Oval that has been spritzed with Shimmer Spray. The little pumpkin is from the new Haunted Tiny House Add-Ons.

Inside is the Pop Up! If you follow me, you know I rarely post my projects in the same order I make them. I have several Christmas cards done & ready to post in December, and Halloween cards coming up that were made back in August. 😊. I made this card as soon as I finished the September Designer Challenge because I was inspired! I combined elements from the new Haunted Tiny House Add On with the House & Fence Pop Up! 

It's been too long since I made a floating floor card so this seemed like the perfect time to pull that set out, and when I realized I could decorate that house with the decorator dies in the Haunted Tiny House Add On set, I was off and running. This is larger than A2 - it's a 7 x 5" card that fits in a standard A7 envelope for mailing.

To create the spooky trees in the background, I die cut the tree from the Landscape Scene several times from black card stock. Then I snipped some of the branches off the trees and reassembled them to create two taller trees that looked different from each other.

The bats that decorate the crooked fence, the ghost and pumpkin are all from the Haunted Tiny House Add On set!

Finally, since I wanted a place to sign the card, I added a sentiment block with the Slim Flaps and Frames. NOTE:  The floating floor cuts two slots for you to pop up items in the foreground but I only used one of them. To hide the second slot, I fussy cut another diamond from a scrap of the patterned paper and glued it over the little slot opening!
