Meow-lloween! by Karen Day

Hello Ai fans!
By now I'm sure you've seen the fabulous new Halloween images that Art Impressions has come out with for 2016, and I have a few of them to share today!  Here are three cards using Meow-lloween Set (Sku #4786):

These were such fun images to colour!  I used a mix of patterned papers, cutting a couple of rectangles on the diagonal, and using them for a couple of cards.

 And this is what I call a 'Simple Spinner Card' - unlike the Ai Spinners that have a front and back image that spin around, this is just a single image that I cut out with an oval die, and then mounted some patterned paper onto the backside, after sandwiching a piece of thread down the middle.  I used my next largest oval die to cut an opening in my card base, and suspended my little oval in the middle of it.  (So you can turn just about any image into a spinner!)


 Now is a great time to check out all of the Halloween images that are available in the Ai store, and get started on your Halloween crafting!

Did you actually stitch between the papers?? These cards are lovely!

Karen Day said...

Yes! The black zigzag stitching is done with my sewing machine :o)

These are such cute cards, they made me laugh. Though I confess my bias for the little owl. Happy almost owl-oween!
