Halloween Collection by Becca Feeken┃Inspiration with Yasmin

Happy Sunday, friends! Today I’m back with another fabulous Halloween season projects so, I’ll be sharing with you a “Shaker Card and Spooky Cottage Box” showcasing the new: Spellbinders- Halloween Collection by Becca Feeken. So, without further ado let’s jump right into the step by step on how I’ve made them ↓

Hey Boo Halloween Shaker Card

For the shaker Halloween card, I start by creating the die-cut pieces so,
• I Lined up the largest die from the Nested Clipped Squares by Becca Feeken Die Set over an A2 size white card panel and I ran them through the die-cut machine.
• Next, I lined up the same die over a light purple card panel and I also run them through the die-cut machine.
• Then, I lined up the fifth and sixth-to-last dies from the same die set and I ran them through to die-cut a frame out of dark purple cardstock.
• Lastly, I added texture to the light purple die-cutting frame by using FSJ Bright Days Embossing Folder.

Therefore, to assemble the shaker base I started by:
• Gluing down with liquid glue the textured frame over an A2 side-folding white card base.
• Adhering an acetate panel to the backing of the white panel with the large window.
• Adhering craft foam tape to add dimension to the backing of the white card panel.
• Adding purple and black jewels to the light purple frame.
• Peeling the backing of the craft foam tape and mount the white card panel to the card base to close the shaker window.
• And, lastly by gluing down with liquid glue the dark purple frame over the acetate.

Moving on, after I had the card base done, I continued to embellish the card so, to do that,
• I ran through the die-cut machine the spider and cat from the Spooky Boo by Becca Feeken Die Set to die-cut them out of glitter black cardstock.
• Then, I ran through the die-cut machine once again the cat and the 2 word dies included in the set to die-cut them 3X each out of white cardstock.
• Then after that, I ran through the die-cut machine the word dies to die cut them out from silver glitter cardstock.
• Lastly, I ran through the die-cut machine the spider web die to die-cut it 2X out of black cardstock.
Therefore, after I had the die-cutting the embellishment pieces done, I:
• Glue down the spider web die-cutting pieces to the dark purple frame (as seen in the image above)
• Stack the Hey Boo die-cutting words and glue them down to the left side of the frame.
• Stack the cat die-cutting pieces and glue the cat down with liquid glue to the right side of the frame.
• Glue the spiders and glue more purple and black jewels to add balance and more sparkle.

Spooky Cottage Box

For this Spooky Cottage Box
• I line up over a large piece of white cardstock the largest die from the Charming Cottage Box by Becca Feeken Die Set and I ran them through the die-cut machine 2X to die cut the sides for the box.
• Once, I had the die-cutting for both sides done, I lined up the door die included in the Spooky Cottage by Becca Feeken Die Set to one of the sides of the box, and I ran them through the die-cut machine to die-cut the front door.
• Then, I lined up the window die included in the set over one side of the box and repeat the same step to the other side to die-cut 2 windows for the box base.

Right after when I had the box base die-cutting pieces done, I closed the box up and I went ahead to embellish it so, to do that:
• I adhered pieces of translucent vellum to the windows and from door but from the inside of the box.
• Then, I folded the scoring lines created by the die and add pieces of double-sided tape to the edges and bottom part to close the box up.
• Once the box was close, I ran through the die-cut machine the following dies; bat, window frame, door frame and the base for the mummy to die-cut them out from plain black cardstock.
• Then, I ran through the die-cut machine the spooky tree and widow’s walk to die cut each of them 2X out glittery black cardstock.
• Lastly, I adhered the front door to the front of the box, and I continued by adhering the window frame, bat, spooky tree and widow’s walk to one side of the box and then, I repeated the same step for the other side.

Therefore, once the front and each sides of the box were embellished:
• I ran through the die-cut machine the scallop trim to die cut it 6X pieces out of dark purple cardstock and 4X out light purple cardstock.
• Also, I ran through the die-cut machine the top layer of the mummy die to die-cut it out of white cardstock.

Then, last but not least I went ahead to,
• Glue down with liquid glue the die-cutting trims to create the roof on each side of the box.
• Glue down the top layer to the bottom layer to finish the mummy off.
• Finish the card off by gluing down purple jewels, the mummy and a tied bow created with black ribbon from my stash.

This step is optional as, once the cottage box is done, it could be used to add candy for a Halloween gift treat box or LED lights for a spooky decorative gift box. (See the image above for a glow-in-the-dark decorative look)
