Spooky Night, Sweet Home, Home Sweet Home, Spooky Cat, Merry Cafe, Season to Sparkle, Chandelier, Creep It Reel, Window Box, Layering Circles - Hexagon Card II

It's cloudy out again today and the high is only expected to be near 60.  The Fall weather is surely settling in now.

My share for today is another Hexagon Halloween Card with lots and lots of details.  Let's take a look:

I'm really enjoying embellishing these little 2-7/8" x 3-3/8" Hexagon Cards.  So many cool ideas and details!

For my Card Base, I trimmed out a panel of Basic Black Cardstock that measures 3-1/2" x 7" and scored and folded it at 3-1/2".  Using Stampin' Up's Window Box Thinlits Dies, I traced the Hexagon Die with a White Signo Gel Pen onto the Cardstock with the edge of the die on the folded edge of the Cardstock.  I then trimmed the Hexagon out on my SU Trimmer.  SU's Trimmer worked perfect for cutting through the double thickness.  😊😊😊

Using SU's Layering Circles Framelits Dies, I die cut the 2-1/2" Scalloped Circle from the Pumpkin Pie Swirl pattern from SU's Spooky Night Designer Series Paper and one from Pumpkin Pie Cardstock.  (The Pumpkin Pie Scalloped Circle is for the inside of my Card.)  I adhered the Pumpkin Pie Swirl pattern Scalloped Circle to my Card Base with Mono Multi Purpose Glue.

Using SU's Sweet Home Stamp Set, I stamped my Door onto the White Barn Wood pattern paper from SU's Wood Textures DSP Stack in Crumb Cake Ink.  I like how the marks in the Barn Wood pattern show through the Crumb Cake Ink as a little darker.  😊😊😊 

I also stamped the 3 Line Stamp for my Cement Steps in Smoky Slate Ink onto Smoky Slate Cardstock.

Using SU's Layering Circles Framelits Dies, I die cut out the stamped Door with the 2-1/8" Circle die as shown in the picture above.

Using SU's coordinating Home Sweet Home Thinlits Dies, I die cut the Door (it only die cuts 3 sides and embosses the left side so the Door will open up).  I also die cut out the Door Frame from the same White Barn Wood pattern and adhered it around the Door with Mono Multi Purpose Glue.

Using SU's Spooky Cat Stamp Set, I stamped the Owls' eye's only in Basic Black Archival Ink towards the bottom of the Door.

I adhered my Steps to the bottom of my Door Circle and trimmed the overhanging excess off with my Snips.

I adhered my Door Circle to the Scalloped Circle on my Card Base with Stampin' Dimensionals.

I colored two of SU's Basic Jewel Pearls (tiny ones) with a Black Marker, let them dry and adhered them to the Owls' eye's.

   
Using Sweet Home Stamp Set, I stamped the Banner Stamp and the Trick or Treat Stamp in Basic Black Archival Ink onto Old Olive Cardstock as shown in the picture above.

I stamped the Ghost Stamp in Basic Black Archival Ink onto Whisper White Cardstock.

Using Home Sweet Home Thinlits Dies, I die cut out the Banner and the Ghost and then die cut out two Bats from Basic Black Cardstock (one for the inside of my Card).

I adhered the ends of my Banner to the top of my Circle with Mono Multi Purpose Glue.  I also put a small piece of a Stampin' Dimensional under the back of the top of the Banner.

I folded the Wings on the Bat downward and adhered the Bat hanging upside down above the Door with Mono Multi Purpose Glue on the Bat's body only leaving its folded Wings free of adhesive.

I adhered two of SU's Glitter Enamel Circle Shapes to each end of the Banner.

   
I opened up the Door and adhered the Ghost inside with Mono Multi Purpose Glue.

   
Using SU's Season to Sparkle Stamp Set, I stamped two Spiders in Basic Black Archival Ink onto Whisper White Cardstock.

Using SU's coordinating Chandelier Thinlits Dies, I die cut out the two Spiders.

I trimmed off maybe an 1/8" from the Web end of the Spiders and adhered them behind the Banners and on each side of the Door with Mono Multi Purpose Glue.

Using SU's Merry Cafe Stamp Set, I stamped two of the Solid Leaf Stem images in Old Olive Ink, fussy cut them out and adhered them to each side of the Door with tiny pieces of Stampin' Dimensionals for my Shrubs.

I adhered three tiny Pumpkin Pie Sequins from SU's Iridescent Sequin Assortment with Mono Multi Purpose Glue to my Shrubs as shown in the picture above.

I adhered one tiny Copper Sequin from SU's Metallic Sequin Assortment to my Door for my Door Knob.

    
I put some of SU's Fine Tip Glue Bottle adhesive onto both Spiders' bodies  and the Door Window to give them a shine!  I let that dry overnight.

Using SU's Creep It Reel Stamp Set, I stamped the BOO stamp in Basic Black Archival Ink onto the Pumpkin Pie Scalloped Circle and adhered it to the inside of my Card with Mono Multi Purpose Glue.

I adhered the second Bat above the BOO with Mono Multi Purpose Glue on the back of the Bat's body only leaving its Wings free of adhesive. 

 
 Phew...I hope I got it all...that was BIG fun!!!  😊😊😊
