Throwback Thursday Ghost Shaped Card with Free Cut File #TBT

Fabulous Freebie Friday!  The best things in life are free, I couldn't agree more!  So this week I am doubling the fun and sharing another Freebie with you... This cute GHOST is the cutest!  If you are wondering, my first freebie today is a great printable of the quote "The quieter you become the more you can hear" and you can get that here

I am having so much fun with Bibiana's Throwback Thursday link parties, I hope you will join me there. This week she is highlighting the "Day of the Dead" celebration... Now I don't have an actual day of the dead post, however I do have this adorable Ghost card and cut file for you!


When I originally posted this cutie, I thought that he looked a bit surprised. I still think so, what do you think?  You can check out my original post here and you can click the photo below for the free cut file!

Freebie Friday Ghost Shaped Card Cut File

Ghost Shaped Card

Another Fabulous Freebie Friday! Tis the season for all things Halloween, and this little fella fits right in. This little ghost will be going to a good home. I love the fact that he looks a bit surprised, I wonder if it is the spider webs and the spider crawling about?

I started with a black base, and cut the card shape.  Then I cut the ghost out on white, you will notice that there are pre-cut holes for his eyes and surprised expression.  Before I glued anything down, I placed the little guy down on the card base and used my crafting paint brush with some glossy accents to mark where the eyes and mouth were.  Then I safely moved him to the side and filled in the entire area with glossy accents and sprinkled some really pretty purple shimmer glitter over top.  You can see the shimmer, but cannot tell the color from the photo.

While the glitter was drying, I ran him through my Cuttlebug, and used the Cuttlebug Spots & Dots Embossing Folder.  Oh no, do you think that's why he looks surprised? Can you see the embossing in the photo? I have started embossing some of my layers more and more lately, I love the added texture and depth it gives to my projects.  Do you like to emboss parts of your projects too?

I had some extra spider webs and a spider from another project I was working on at the same time, and by happy coincidence one of the spider webs fell on my ghost and I said, "hmmm, that might not be a bad idea" when I asked my creative consultant (my son) what he thought, he liked it! Since this is going to be his cousin's card, he gets final say, lol.  So I added the lovely spider webs and spider and then added some of this fabulous yarn (I love it because it is fun, but when I added it to the card, it kinda made him look like he had hair).  I kept the hair for the photo, but my son consultant doesn't think it works for a boy, he may be right, lol.

To finish him off I had to add some bling, so I've added some rhinestones and some sequins and he was finally ready.

What do you think about using him as a Birthday card, he can just as easily be an invitation to a Halloween party, or how about your next block party or maybe a Bunco card night out with the girls?
