3D Halloween Mini Card by Shannon Cooper
Filed under Art Projects, Back in Stock, Beads, Giveaways, Halloween, Sale, Shannon Cooper
Oh, I am all for Halloween all year round. And since I (we all?) have no idea what day it is anyway, why not Halloween?
The “card” (so much more than a flat card!) by Design Team Member Shannon Cooper
is so fun! Lots of depth for just a “card”!
Here’s a teaser from Shannon’s blog post:
Is it October yet?
No?
Rats.
Halloween has been on my mind lately, more so than usual, which put me in a mood to make a few spooky things. Nothing wrong with getting a head start on holiday crafting, right?
I had two Arched Triptychs with Overlays and thought they would make an interesting little card to give to a friend that enjoys Halloween as much as I do. She also loves miniatures, so I glued the overlay from the second arched triptych over the first to create enough depth for a “bookcase” with oodles of dark and creepy things! (More on the basic construction later.) Let’s talk minis!
I rifled through my bin of Halloween charms and beads and cast metal to fill the shelves. That bin is completely full of things that would have been great, but the ones that made the cut (look at that 3D jack-o-lantern on the top shelf!) worked out fine. I snipped the rings off a few charms such as the Antique Copper Skull (he has kooky rhinestone eyes now) and the aforementioned 3D jack-o-lantern (with a snippet of orange vellum glued to the back).
On the back of the bookcase is the card. Weird, huh? But there’s a reason for that. I left the card flat and simple so it would fit nicely into a pocket envelope. Here’s the reason the card is attached to the mini bookcase: The card flap supports the bookcase so it can be displayed without toppling over. Hooray for not toppling over!
Love the artwork, Shannon! Shannon gives tips on bullding the double-thick “bookshelves” (and lots more photos) on her blog post. Plus here’s Shannon’s supply list. And… there’s another photo in the Giveaway section below! (But don’t miss the new goodies & new sale between here and there!)
