August is fine, September's keen, but wake me up when it's Halloween.
Hey there, welcome to Nannyland,
Who can resist a spooky haunted house, with all its creepy, ghostly amusement? When I saw this fabulous easel card die from Anna Griffin, I knew it was for me. It comes with the door and window frames, the pumpkin, ghost and bat embellishments. A craftsy, glittery, rhinestones and glue party just waiting to happen.
Even though haunted houses are usually dark and foreboding, I wanted mine to have some of my signature bright cheerful colors. I still have the typical orange, purple and black going on here, but my green is more of a chartreuse, which I think creates a more upbeat color palette. I had a blast cutting these dies out and embossing them on my brand new Anna Griffin Empress machine. It's true... I already have a Gemini, Cricut Maker and Big Shot, but this machine cuts larger size dies and embosses like no other. I added tiny die cut flowers with rhinestone centers to my mansion's window boxes to give it a campy glam vibe
I love the black kitty on the sentiment I cut on my Cricut Maker for the stopper to prop up my easel. (Sniff, I miss my adorable black cat, Tawnzie, who died a couple of years ago.) I'm very happy with the way this fun easel card turned out. It took some time, so I won't be sending one to everyone on my "card-worthy" list, but I know my Halloween-obsessed daughter will love it.
Let the spooky shenanigans begin!
Thanks for visiting Nannyland.
I'll just be here blissfully creating until your next visit.
