Digi Choosday - Gnome Trick or Treat collection - Spiders - pop up frame card - with Polkadoodles

Hello everyone and happy Wednesday... I hope that you are having a good week....Its October 1st already and after a fantastic Feria in our town thoughts are now turning to the Autumn..... Schools return after the long hot holidays and classes get back to normal.

I'm hoping to get a place in the Pilates class but its always such a popular class and places are limited - fingers crossed !

It's that time of the week to share some more inspiration for our current 'Anything Goes' challenge over on the Polkadoodles Digi Choosday Blog so I hope you are going to join in and don't forget the amazing Digi Choosday discount off all crafty printable downloads!  

Don't Forget that our challenges our now 4 weekly so there's loads of time for you to join in and more chances to win too!

The theme set for the DT this week is Spiders !!! Yuck ...I'm definitely not a fan at all of spiders...even little ones ...I'm actually not sure what I dislike the most spiders or snakes...its a tough one but this is still a cute card even with the spiders LOL

Anyway I always like a challenge so I decided to use the Gnome Trick or Treat collection for spooky spider card today.... as you already know I don't make lots of Halloween cards but this was fun to create and I'm sure it will be loved by it's recipient.

I chose the Spider Web Gnome and decided to create a pop up frame card so that the gnome could hang from the spiders web on the card.

I resized the main focal image to fit my 6" x 6" card and added a sentiment at the bottom of my square panel before printing out on alcohol marker friendly cardstock and colouring with promarkers. I coloured the pumpkin eyes and mouth with a fluorescent gelly roll pen.

I then used a square die to partially cut an aperture on the panel and then fussy cut out the image of the gnome so he is suspended from the cobweb.

Next I added grey distress ink over the frame and create some little pop up hinges from black card.

I chose a cobweb and spider paper from the Boo Halloween collection, adhering a panel to the base of my card blank.  Once dry I then adhered the cut out panel to the card .

I love these pop up frame cards as they give loads of dimension but fold flat for posting.

To finish off the design I added glossy accents, white gelly roll pen highlights and some black sparkly gems around the the card.

I hope that you like my project today and you'll enjoy the next that I share from Polkadoodles.

Hasta luego 👋 

Enjoy the rest of your day !

For my third card I've used the cute little Spider - can spiders actually be cute ? hmm I'm not sure but maybe its the hat as this one definitely is.

I resized the spider to fit my 6" x6" card and then printed out, colouring with promarkers before fussy cutting out....I also printed out a fabulous spooky sentiment too.

I then create a simple stencilled background with some distress oxide inks and a spider web stencil.

To create a tunnel effect I die cut 3 hexagonal frames from black glitter card and adhered these over the stencilled panel offsetting each to give a spiralling effect before adding the little spider into his web using foam tape for a little dimension.

Finishing touches were some glossy accents to the spiders eyes and some purple confetti around the design for my definitely too cute to spook card.

I hope that you like my card today and you'll enjoy the next cards I share for Lili of the Valley (LOTV)
