Science Alchemy - Periodic Table Father, Lucky - Drop In For A Bite - Trick or Treat

Yogi here today and I had an urge to create this Halloween card. I had the word "Alchemy" floating around in my brain and it wouldn't go away...

I'm using one of the newest stamp sets from Quietfire Design ("Something Wicked 2018..." 6pce set)

And am using several of Suzanne's electronic files available on Silhouette onLine store. Click images to purchase. 

 

 

Scored, and folded my white cardstock to create my side fold card (5"w x 7"h). Cut another piece from a deep purple and adhered to front.

Typed the letters - A L C E M using the "Science.otf" font from Suzanne at approx size of 90. Printed on white cardstock and cut into good sized squares.

Electronically cut the "H" and the "Y" using the Periodic table words "Father" and "Lucky" from Suzanne. Trimmed everything down to fit my card front. (A 1.5 x 2"h; L & C 1.25 x 2"h; H 1.75 x 2.75"h; E & M 1.75 x 2"h; Y 1.75 x 2.75"h)

Sponged all the letters with Distress "Carved Pumpkin" and then direct to paper around the edges.  Adhered all the letters to card front leaving a central space for my beaker.

Hand cut 3 triangles from white cardstock. The larger one 1.5"w x 4.5"H and the smaller one 1.5 x 1.5"h. The the inner triangle (representing the liquid) I cut a little narrower than the large beaker to simulate the glass wall. Sponged it with Distress "Twisted Citron" and "Dusty Concord". Ran all 3 triangles through my embossing machine with Carabelle Studio "Petites Roues" (something that will give a nice bubble effect to the glass). Assembled and adhered to front. Cut a narrow rectangle for the stir stick, rounded the edges and colored with the Concord.

Applied Quickie glue to the beakers in the font letters and sprinkled with a lime green and a purple glitter.

Stamped the "Trick or Treat" on white cardstock using Versafine Black Onyx and clear embossed. Die cut with Elizabeth Craft Designs "Stitched Circles" set. Sponged edges with the Concord.

Punched out some small 1/4" circles, added Quickie glue to the bubble circles and sprinkled with Stampendous "Crystal Snow" glitter. Used a white gel pen to add very small dots.

On the inside:

Sponged around edges with the Concord.

Electronically cut the words from white cardstock. The "Bite" word is 4.75" w. Colored while still on my mat with the Concord and the Pumpkin. Colored the drop of blood with a red marker. Adhered to inside. Added Glossy Accents to the drop of blood and Liquid Pearls "White Opal" to the teeth... then added some red Liquid Pearls to one edge of the tooth.

Stamped the bats with the black.

Final touch added red rhinestones to the "i's"

 

Flourished Shamrock - Atomic Lucky - ECD Friend - May Your Longest List - Side Easel

Yogi here today and it's almost time for St Patrick's Day...

I'm using a stamp that was meant for Christmas... but with a little masking it's now good for any time of the year. How many stamps or dies do you have in your stash that you only use for what they were originally meant for?? Why not look at them again and see what you can do with them - you'd be surprised...

I'm using an A Way With Words dies  "Friends"  from Elizabeth Craft Designs, also available on Quietfire Design HERE

I'm also using a quote and sentiment stamps from Quietfire Design  ("May Your Longest List at Christmas..."); ("You Are..." 5pce set)

Also using a couple electronic cut files from Suzanne available on Silhouette. Click image to purchase. 

 

  and the digi paper available from Suzanne on Quietfire Design 

 

Opened the two Silhouette files. Decreased the size of Lucky to 6.5"w. Cut from white cardstock and colored while on my mat with various distress green pads. Removed from mat and embossed both shamrocks using Emerald Creek "Green Sparkle" embossing powder. Clear embossed the tiles for Lucky. Mounted the tiles onto a dark green cardstock and trimmed down.

See template image at right to create the card structure. I used a 12"w light green Bazzill Monochromatic cardstock cut to 5"h. Scored and folded at 7". Then scored diagonally across the 5" section.

 

Fold the "A" over and use it as the template to cut a front piece the width of the card and diagonally to the diagonal score line. Image above card template image on template. Adhere to front of card.

Using my Tim's Stamping Platform, stamped the "You Are So" using Versafine Black Onyx and clear embossed.

Adhered the "lucky" strip on the bottom and them the flourished Shamrock of the edge of the fold.

 On the floor: Printed out the digi paper of the smaller shamrock pattern, trimming down and adhering to floor.

Again used my Stamping Platform, masking of the "Christmas" words and stamping using the black. Stamped the bottom part of the quote onto tracing paper and repositioned my card and stamping. Clear embossed the quote.

Scored the shamrock and adhered to floor to act as my stopper.

Die cut the Friends, fussy cutting the "s" off... inking with a green pad and embossing with the green sparkle embossing powder.

Raided my stash for the letters for "My" (Elizabeth Craft Designs "Upper Case Alphabet")
