Light up Ghost card

By on September 25, 2024 in Halloween, Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I have a light up ghost card for you with a video! Watch the video below or on YouTube:

Today I’m using specialty paper from Your Paper Insider, but you could also use vellum or any specialty papers you want to try with lights! Please watch the video to see how this came together.

I die cut the ghost on a 5×7 panel of light pink cardstock, added the specialty paper to the back, lined up the One Light from Pear Blossom Press and marked the panel with a light pencil mark to see where I needed to put that “press” stamp. Once I had the placement, I stamped the “Press” with black ink and heat embossed it with clear embossing powder.

Next, I added some delightful details, like the witches hat, bats, heart and hey boo sentiment cut out of glitter paper.

I love how the heart lights up and the heart diffuses the light a little more. I keep singing “Turn on Your Heart Light” (Neil Diamond fans, anyone?) Ha ha. That was a favorite of my Dad’s, but now it’s stuck in my head.

I just love the extra texture from the specialty paper. If you are interested in a subscription box where you get surprise papers from all around the world, check out Your Paper Insider (I’ve linked them below). I am not an affiliate for them, but I did love the box I got and wanted to share!

For my bonus card of course I wanted to use the pink ghost I cut out from the first card! here I put her together with a broom and pink skull & bones, and a little candy corn shape sprinkle from Doodlebug!

I used a candy corn background for this also, which I stenciled on to a black cardstock panel using oxide inks. Doesn’t it look a little spookier that way?

Haunted House Interactive Card

Hello there! Today I have a bit of a Haunted House issue…uh oh! I am using the interactive die from the Hedgehog Hollow October kit and some cute ghosts from a previous kit to create this haunted house.






		
		
			
			
		
	
Boo! The ghosts are coming out of the chimney!





Oh boy…there are ghosts in that chimney! I have all the details of how I built this card on the Hedgehog Hollow blog today…see it here.





I use the IRON OFF technique for that background spiderweb! First I stamped it with embossing ink and heat embossed clear embossing powder over the spider web. Then I blended on some Distress Oxides over the spider web. Once the ink was dry, I placed the panel on my ironing board, added a piece of plain computer paper over the top, and held the warm iron over it all for a few seconds. The computer paper absorbs the embossing powder and leaves the panel completely FLAT!






		
		
			
			
		
	





You might be asking…why did you want to remove the embossing powder? Well, I wanted to stamp that “BOO” over the top and needed a flat surface to add it. This allowed me to stamp in dark black ink. (I didn’t want a large sentiment strip on this card.)





Here’s what it looks like when you turn the dial…the ghosts pop up!






		
		
			
			
		
	





Isn’t that cool?! To put this card together, I attached the dial and arms with brads, then attached the full card base on the black card panel with foam tape. For a video tutorial of how to do this, check out my earlier video here.
