Hello Crafty Friends and welcome! If you're into horror movies then this is the right card for you! I love horror movies! Nightmare on Elm Street, Friday the 13th, Child's Play, etc. So when I seen that Sassy Club Stamps had all my favourite horror movie serial killers I just had to buy them!
Not only did I need to make a card with these stamps, but a pop-up card!! So I created this card using Karen Burniston's Spinner Square Pop-Up along with her Popcorn die set. Because you can't watch a movie without some popcorn!
For this card, I started with an A2 side fold card base using heavy weight smooth black cardstock. Then I created my background. I cut two pieces of heavy weight smooth white cardstock, 1/8 of an inch smaller than my card base.
I added some removable tape runner to the back of each piece and taped them down to my work table. This was I could work on them together and they won't move. With a ruler, I drew a line where I wanted my floor to be. Then I stamped my two images. I added masking paper to the images so that they wouldn't get touched while colouring the background.
I wanted the background to look like weathered, torn wallpaper. If you've ever seen the movie IT (the newer one) then you remember the aged look of the house on Neilbot St. I wanted it to also have a fun house feel to it as well. So I drew everything out with pencil, then coloured it with Copic markers. Before I started colouring the background, I masked off the floor area.
Then, once I had the background coloured in, I removed the tape masking the floor and moved it up to cover the background so I could add ink for the floor. I used Simon Says Stamps Pawsitively Saturated Ink in Cappuccino and Mocha with a blending brush.
I removed the masking paper from my images and coloured them in with Copic markers. I then added the two background pieces to my card base using double sided adhesive.
I die cut the pop-up mechanism for the Spinner Square Pop-Up from a light weight cardstock and glued it into my card base. Then I die cut the square that covers over the pop-up mechanism and created the same background as the card base.
I die cut the popcorn box using Karen Burniston's Flower Pot Pop-Up and added the Popcorn Add-Ons to it. I added some Distress Ink in Antique Linen to the sides of the flower pot and then die cut the popcorn box add-ons from red cardstock that I had in my left over stash.
I used Karen Burniston's Popcorn Phrases sentiment stamp set to add the pop out sentiment. Then I die cut a scalloped square from the Spinner Square Pop-Up to add a place to sign the card. I die cut the popcorn from smooth white heavy weight cardstock, once with a double sided adhesive backing on it and once just loose. I coloured the popcorn in with Copic markers and added the non sticky ones to my popcorn box, then added the sticky backed ones to the card where it was completely on the background of the card.
For the front of the card, I drew a line where I wanted the horror movie crew to be, then stamped the images and added masking paper as I went.
Then I added the background colours, which I used Simon Says Stamps Pawsitively Saturated Ink in Guava, Watermelon and Cherry. Then I removed the masking paper and coloured my images in with Copic markers.
I die cut and coloured more popcorn, adding the double sided adhesive to the back to make it easier to adhere to my card. Lastly, I stamped another sentiment from Karen Burniston's Popcorn Phrases sentiment stamp set and Detail Black Ink from Pink Fresh Studios.
I am in LOVE with this card! I'm not sure whether or not I will send it to my friend or not. Lol. Thank you so much for stopping by today and Happy Crafting!
