We’re moving on to Day 4 of previews with My Favorite Things‘ September release! Today the team is previewing two super-fun new stamp/Die-namics duos — Spider Web and Lollipop Treat.
I created a card and matching gift bag using Spider Web. I LOVE this set! Also, along the bottom of the bag and card, I used border strips die-cut using our new Harlequin Die-namics. Base cardstock (as well as spiders and webs) were die-cut from MFT Black Licorice cardstock.
Above is a close-up of the bag. After die-cutting the spiders, I adhered a small piece of the green patterned paper behind the eyes so they “glow” green. When adhering my spiders, I popped each one up using foam tape then gently bent up each leg for added dimension. (Ick.) 🙂
I mimicked the layout of the bag for my card front. As with the bag, I placed a glittery green brad between each diamond of the Harlequin border.
On the inside of my card, I used the other half of the spider web used on the front. That worked out perfectly. 🙂
