Ghost Slider Card

Halloween Slider Card

This is not a beginner card more an intermediate card.  It is however very fun to do and with practice it will become easier.  I have broken the videos up to make it a bit easier to complete the card.
Hope you will try it and have fun with it.  I have a fun idea for a holiday one so be on the lookout for that one in the next month (or two).

Video 3 of 3, putting in all together, finally!

The Witch is finally in! 

It took me a little while to pull this together as my back decided to go out of wack.  Seriously, I feel like a witch myself as I am walking hunched over with a limp and generally feel like I'm crooked.  And not in a good way! 

Witch Hat treat Box

I was in such a Halloween mood that when I sent out a reminder for my club meeting I had the October host listed!  Thanks to the club members who quickly straightened me out!  We created three Halloween inspired items at our meeting this month.  Plenty of time for you to get started and have everything made well ahead of when the ghosts come calling!

I adapted the cutie pie thinlit for the bigshot into a cute witch's hat treat box.  Below you will find the list of items we used to create this and a link to the video.  Also below you will find the template for the witch hat.  You will want to print this out before starting.
