Skeleton Wiggle Wobble (he glows!) by Diane Zechman

Hello Ai friends and happy Monday!
 
Today I am CASE-ing Renee with a card using the Ai 4952- Skeleton Wiggle Wobble set. (She shared her card last week) The sentiment on the front of my card is from the Michael's exclusive SC0680- Spare Me clear set.
 
Renee had the brilliant idea to create a spider web window on her card and I loved it so much that I wanted to re-create it on a card for my friend who has an October birthday and LOVES Halloween.  After seeing Renee's card, I couldn't even think of making mine any other way! lol.  It's perfect!
 

I changed mine up a bit by making a different shaped window and adding a punched creepy fence to the front. I used the same cute mice punch but brought that to the front as well.
 
On the inside, the wobbly skeleton was assembled with mini brads and he is made EXTRA wobbly by adhering him to the card with a Mini Action Wobble.  I opted to skip his hat & bow tie this time.


Since I used a black card base and a dark patterned paper inside, it is difficult to sign the card.  My solution was to use the leftover pieces I die cut from the front window to adhere on the back for my message and signature.


Now, I didn't give him a hat & bow tie for a reason....he GLOWS IN THE DARK!!!  So I didn't want to cover up part of his head.  After I assembled all his parts with the mini brads, I used an old bottle of Glow-in-the-Dark fabric paint I had in my stash (for many moons!)  Mine was a pale yellow color which I didn't see while searching but I did find the same brand with a Natural color which I've linked below.  I'm guessing the natural color would be better anyway!  Oh, and I didn't forget the eyes in the little bat & spider die cuts....they glow too!


 Here's a quick little video to see the action!
 



I want to thank Renee for letting me CASE her card! I enjoyed making this for my friend. Have a great Monday and… happy stamping!

Magic is in the Air! by Reneé Matarese

Hello Ai fans!

Today I'm sharing a fun Halloween card with you.


I colored the rickety old haunted house with watercolor pencils.


I wish this little trio lived outside of my house.  My son has been lucky enough to see a barn owl from two lots down fly past his window a few times but I've never seen him.


Don't you just love the sparkle that these fusible glitter sheets add?


I wanted to create something with some dimension to it.  Kind of like a scene and not just a card.  This can be displayed all season long.

And if I ever had this cutie show up at my door, I believe I'd have to fill her bag cause she's so adorable! She's 4520 Punkin' Pie Set from Art Impressions! :)  Oh! I almost forgot to tell you!! I'm so excited cause I'm in Sacramento today at Scrapbook Expo, and I am taking a watercolor class from Art Impressions!!! If any of you are there, holler at me! I'm in the Saturday morning class and will be arriving late as a group of us are taking a bus over and don't arrive til around 8:30 and then we have to get checked in. Hope to see you there!!!

Skeleton Wiggle Wobble by Reneé Matarese

Hello Ai fans!!

Today I'm sharing such a super fun new stamp from Art Impressions.
This is the 4952 – Skeleton Wiggle Wobble


I created a window on the front that has a web "woven" in it that the skeleton can peek through from the inside.


Here is is on his Action Wobble on the inside of the card.  Give him a flick and he'll dance around.


Shake Rattle & Roll!  Wait until you see this guy in action.  I have a video below.  He's so cute!!  Who wouldn't want to receive an interactive card like this??


Enjoy!
