Karen Burniston Designer Challenge -- Haunted Location

This month's Karen Burniston Designer Challenge is "Haunted Location."  After contemplating the many possibilities of locations that could be haunted, I decided on a graveyard. Last year Karen released a couple of Pattern Plate dies for Halloween.  I used the Pattern Plate - Bats for the front of my card.  

One of my favorite die sets is the Train Pivot Panel, so I put a haunted train going through the graveyard.  The background sky was created by using Distress Oxides and blending brushes. There is a ghost driving my train.

Be sure to check out the haunted locations found by the rest of the design team.  You'll find them on the Karen Burniston Pop-up Peeps page on Facebook.

Karen Burniston Designer Challenge - Halloween

This month the Karen Burniston design team had a choice of either Halloween or Fall.  I chose Halloween.  I hadn't used the House and Fence die in quite a while, so I thought it was time to pull it out again. 

For the front of my card I cut two Slim Pattern Plate - Bat die cuts and did a bit of surgery to create the background, adding a simple rectangle and the bat from the new Skeleton & Bat set.

With a little bit of help from the Haunted Tiny House Add-On set, the House and Fence set became Halloween-worthy.   Using some of the leftover bats cut from the front background, I added some spookiness to this little scene.  I trimmed two of the spooky trees from the Halloween Scene set, mounting them on the two "tree brackets" of the floating floor.

I love making Halloween cards, and this one was no exception.  Thanks for stopping by and taking a look.  

Karen Burniston New Release Sneak Peek - Day 5

As promised earlier in the week, I've got a couple more Halloween cards to share with you today.  The first one is made with the new Label Charm Pop-Up die.   In addition, another new die is the Slim Pattern Plate - Bats on the front, as well as the sentiment from Halloween Elements and a frame made using two dies from Short Rectangles - Crosshatch.

Inside are a couple of new dies as well - the Skeleton and Bat.  Also included in that set is a cat.

 

I love that skeleton so much that I put two of them on this double-wide Woven Basket card.

I also included both the bat and the cat from the Skeleton and Bat set, as well as the Happy Halloween with Shadow.  My haunted house in the background was made with the Holiday House, decorated with pieces from the Haunted Tiny House set.

Don't forget:  dies from this new release will be available for purchase on Monday!
