The instructions on how to make the Halloween Ghost with Full Moon card are in my previous posting. Here I will show you how to draw a bat for this card. See further bellow.

To make this card you will need:

White card paper (15 x 30cm)
Dark blue card paper (15 x 15cm)
Black card paper (approx. 15 x 15cm)

Double sided tape
Craft foam pads (I used Stix 2mm thick)

I have set up and online shop - CRAFT MAGIC ONLINE SHOP- on my blog (top right corner). You can now purchase many crafting supplies right here. The shop is powered by Amazon, so you would be making the purchase through Amazon. I have just selected (and sorted into various categories) crafting products that Amazon sells. My blog's shop is divided into 2 parts; one offers paper crafting and scrapbooking supplies and the other one is for crafty kids and offers variety of beautiful crafty kits and products designed for children.

Instructions on how to draw the bat:

Follow pictures bellow (bigger bat 6.5 cm width and 2.5 cm height, smaller bat 5.5 cm width and 2 cm height).

Tomorrow I will show you how to make Halloween Treats Bags. I made 2 bags - to make both of them you will need following:

Black stranded cotton thread and needle (or an ordinary black sewing thread)

Handmade Halloween Card - How to Make Castle Crenelations

The instructions on how to make the Halloween Ghost with Full Moon card are in my previous posting. Here I will show you how to make the castle crenelations for this card. See further bellow.

To make this card you will need:

White card paper (15 x 30cm)
Dark blue card paper (15 x 15cm)
Black card paper (approx. 15 x 15cm)
White card paper with slightly greyish tone for the ghost (approx. 8 x 8 cm)
4 green adhesive gems (I used gems 2mm thick)
Mango yellow card paper for the full moon (approx. 10 x 10 cm)
Double sided tape
Craft foam pads (I used Stix 2mm thick)

Instructions on how to make castle crenelations:

To make castle crenelations for my Halloween Ghost card, draw a rectangle 15 x 7.5 cm on a black card. Then measure 7 even spaces on the long side of the rectangle (15cm). [15/7 = 2.14] Measure 7 spaces of approximately 2.14 cm. The depth of the crenelations is 2cm. Cut the crenelations out.

To make uneven edge crenelations follow following instructions.

Bellow is a reminder on how to make an uneven cut border. I copied this part from my previous posting of Halloween Spider Card, so the shape of the black card in the picture bellow is different to the castle crenelations, not to confuse you. Just apply the same technique as used previously on the black stripes for the Halloween Spider card on the crenelations. It is up to you whether you like to create the uneven edge on all of the crenelations or just some.

A B C

Cut irregular wavy shape into the edge of the card paper (A). Then cut in randomly irregular triangle shapes (B). And the uneven cut edge for the card is done (C). See picture above.

In my next posts I will show you in detail how to draw the bat. This will complete the instructions on how to make my Halloween Ghost Card. This will be followed by couple handmade Halloween Treat Bags.

Handmade Halloween Cards - How to make a Ghost

The instructions on how to make the Halloween Ghost with Full Moon card are in my previous posting. Here I will show you how to draw the ghost for this card. See further bellow.

To make this card you will need:

White card paper (15 x 30cm)
Dark blue card paper (15 x 15cm)
Black card paper (approx. 15 x 15cm)

4 green adhesive gems (I used gems 2mm thick)

Double sided tape
Craft foam pads (I used Stix 2mm thick)

Instructions on how to draw the ghost:

I took pictures at various stages of making the ghost for my Halloween Ghost and Full Moon card. This should make it easier.

Draw a shape as in the picture above. 5cm at widest point and 6 cm at highest point - to create the same sized ghost as on my card.

Then draw hands and wavy sheet following the previously drawn outline.

And cut the ghost out. Attach 2 green gems to the ghost as eyes.

In my next posts I will show you in detail how to draw the castle ruin (with the uneven cut crenelations), and the bat. This will be followed by couple handmade Halloween Treat Bags.

Handmade Halloween Cards - Ghost, Castle Ruin, Bats and Full Moom - Bright

In my previous design I used cream card to make the full moon which made the card looking earie pale. Using mango yellow card to make the moon will make the card brighter giving it more contrast yet it will not loose that ghostly feeling. Just right for Halloween.

To make this card you will need:

White card paper (15 x 30cm)
Dark blue card paper (15 x 15cm)
Black card paper (approx. 15 x 15cm)
White card paper with slightly greyish tone for the ghost (approx. 8 x 8 cm)
4 green adhesive gems (I used gems 2mm thick)
Mango yellow card paper for the full moon (approx. 10 x 10 cm)
Double sided tape
Craft foam pads (I used Stix 2mm thick)

Instructions:

Take white card 15cm x 30cm and fold it in half. Take a blue card paper (size 15cm x 15cm) and using double sided tape attach it to the white card.

Take black card and cut out the castle ruin (15 cm width and 7.5 cm height) and 2 bats (bigger bat 6.5 cm width and 2.5 cm height, smaller bat 5.5 cm width and 2 cm height). Take the white card with gray tone and cut out the ghost (6 x 6 cm). Then take the mango yellow card paper and cut out a circle (7.5 cm diameter) - the full moon.

Attach the full moon to the blue card using double sided tape. Then attach the castle ruin and the 2 bats, using foam pads, to the blue card (and over the full moon). Finally attach the ghost to the castle ruin, using foam pads.

Add green gems as eyes to the ghost and one of the flying bats.

In my next posts I will show you in detail how to draw the castle ruin (with the uneven cut crenelations), ghost and the bat. This will be followed by couple Halloween Treat Bags.
