Spook-tacular Halloween Card using Karen Burniston's Lorna Label and Explosion Pop-Up

 Hello Crafty Friends and welcome! I have a fun Halloween card for you today, using Karen Burniston's Lorna Label Pop-Up and Explosion Pop-Up!

For this card, I started with a 5.5 x 5.5 sized card base using a light weight black cardstock (65lb). Then I used some new patterned paper I just picked up from Michaels. If you are in Canada, they currently have some of their seasonal patterned paper packs buy one get one free! I cut the patterned paper 1/8" smaller than the card base, then used double sided adhesive to tape it down to the base. 

I also picked up some really pretty thin patterned paper that was double sided and perfect for the Explosion Pop-Up because it's so thin. I die cut the two explosion sides and folded as per Karen Burniston's instructional video, which you can watch by clicking here. I glued these into my card using Lineco Neutral pH adhesive and my fine tip bottle. 

I then added two 3 x 3 pieces of pumpkin patterned paper to the centre. This was to give the card some more color and to cover the edges of the explosion pieces. 

I then added the Lorna Label Pop-Up. I die cut the centre out of it so that I could hang a charm! I added some black sparkly cardstock to the front, not only to add dimension but to glue the charm in place. For the charm, I used the ghost from the Halloween Charms. I die cut the ghost twice so that if the charm spun you would see the ghost on both sides. 

I then added a skull border to the top and bottom to hide the paper lines. I used the Halloween Borders die to do this. 

I die cut the sentiment "Spook" using the Alphabet die set and the word "tacular" using the Mini Alphabet and Numbers die set. I die cut this from gold glitter cardstock and black cardstock for the word Spook, then black glitter cardstock for the tacular. 

Then I added some more ghosts and cobwebs using pieces from the Halloween Elements and Halloween Scene dies. Lastly, I added a place to sign the card using a rectangle from the Short Rectangles - Crosshatch die set. 

For the front of my card, I continued the same patterned paper as the inside. Then I added a scene using the Halloween Scenes die set. 

I die cut a circle using the Circles - Crosshatch die and added some moon detail to it using a moon stencil from Tim Holtz called Moon Mask. 

I glued everything down, then I die the sentiment on the front using the Halloween sentiment die and mixing Carved Pumpkin and Candied Apple Distress Oxide Ink. 

I added some glitter gel to the sentiment to make it pop!
