Hi friends! Today I am sharing how I used White Spruce Studio's August freebie which you can get here: White Spruce Studio Facebook Group in the Featured section.
This is originally created as a square project. In the US mailing cards that are square requires more postage so you have 2 choices to get around that. 1. Put a square card in a rectangle envelope with a piece of cardstock to fill the envelope. 2. Change the design of the card to a rectangle and that is what I am showing here.
Supplies needed:
Open Topper version folder in the download.
Load the SVG file into your cutting software.
Separate the layers of the design.
Select the orange web layer only.
Release the compound path.
Select only the orange rectangle without moving another
other element that was released.
Change the size of the orange rectangle to 4.25x5.5
inches.
Select all of the pieces that are part of the compound
path release and then “Make compound path” again. This is done so that the
design of the web is not stretched or changed in any way and just the background size is altered.
Resize the yellow piece to 4.0 x 5.25”
Using the knife tool, cut the black web string attached
to the stop of the spider. I am doing this because I am going to attach an Action
Wobbler to the back. If you aren’t than don’t do this ste
Cut out all of the pieces in your choice of cardstock. I used a silver glitter cardstock for the one that is yellow in the digital so that the web is glittery.
Use the Interference Ink on the piece with the web.
The Interference Ink adds shimmer and color change to the background. Each ink pad in this product line reacts differently to the color of paper that it is applied to and you can see you don't see much of the red tones. They are there but do not stand out too much.
Use an ink or paint to add splatter to the web panel.
Add some detail to the spider using a white gel pen and attach the Action Wobbler. They are adhesive but I always add glue to both sides as I have found the adhesive doesn't last long.
Add a Halloween sentiment of your choice. I just used the word "Beware!"
I love making cute and creepy Halloween cards and I am sure you'll see a few more before the big holiday arrives!
