Day 29 of 31 Days of Halloween
 
"Happy CAToWeen"
CAToWeen Crew
Slimline Book Panel by Leigh
 
 
Happy CAToWeen and National Cat Day from the CAToWeen Crew!
 
 
It's Day 29 of our 31 Days of Halloween SPOOKtivities already and I'm back today with my PURRtastic slimline book panel featuring the whole CAToWeen Crew of 4 Halloween Loveleigh Kitties and a matching senti from my new CAToWeen 2024 Loveleigh Kitties Halloween Collection and SVG Cutz Clouds from my Once Upon a Nightmare Halloween 2021 CollectionCheck everything out and more in my Halloween Sale!
 
 
Catrina, Hocus Pocus, CAToWeen and Count Catula are on the prowl in the magical moonlight as the Witching Hour fast approaches!
 
 
I coloured all the kitties digitally in Adobe Fresco, printed them out quite tiny and fussy cut them out with scissors leaving a very narrow white border that makes them pop nicely against the background.
 
 
My 31 Days of Halloween makes are going in a slimline book I'm making so I first made a slimline 4" x 9" book panel from heavy weight black cardstock then cut a mat layer from purple glitter card 1/8' inch smaller.  For the main background I used a bootiful 12 x 12 inch patterned paper scene by Crafter's Companion that was PURRfect for my book panel and cut it 1/8 inch smaller than the glitter card mat.  I then edged the background panel with Spectrum Noir Midas Silver pigment ink for a touch of distressed metallic elegance and adhered everything together with glue.
 
 
I adhered 2 of my Once Upon a Moonlit Night Colouritze It SVG Cutz Clouds cut from white glitter paper to the background scene with glue.
 
 
I then adhered all the kitties to the scene with glue too.
 
 
The "Happy Catoween" senti is from the the Catoween Senties set of 4 kitty themed Halloween sentiments which I printed and fussy cut out using my Silhouette Cameo 5 electronic cutting machine.
 
 
 
I then coloured the sentii with Seedless Preserves Distress Ink and adhered it in place with foam tape for some fun dimension.
 
 
The finishing touch of today's slimline book panel is the Spellbinders Pumpkin Elements die cut border.
 
 
To make a nice chunky border element I die cut the pumpkins twice from heavy weight black cardstock and embossed the first one with a die cut embossing mat to get all the die details. I then applied metallic silver pigment ink to enhance all the embossed detail.
 
 
 I then backed the 2nd border with adhesive tape, die cut the border again out of orange glitter card and paper pieced the orange glitter card pumpkin faces into the black border.  
 
 
Next I adhered the embossed border to the paper pieced border with glue to create the SPOOKtacular chunky 3D effect which I then adhered to the slimline book panel with black foam tape for even more fun dimension.
 
 
Shop the kitties and more in the Halloween Sale on now through October 31st midnight pacific!

Day 15 of 31 Days of Halloween
 
"Catrina"
Day of the Dead
Hanging Rosette Ornament
by Leigh
 

Today begins our 3rd week of Halloween SPOOKtivities and what a SPOOKtacular haunting month it has been already, we're loving all the faBOOlous makes shared in our Haunt Hop, keep the eye candy coming!
 
 
I'm back for Day 15 of our 31 Days of Halloween SPOOKtivities with a drop dead gorgeous hanging ornament featuring a Day of the Dead themed kitty from my new CAToWeen 2024 Halloween Loveleigh Kitties Collection!  Check everything out and more in my Halloween Sale too!


 
Catrina Loveleigh Kitty is the star of my hanging ornament today.
 
  
On Day 5 of our 31 Days of Halloween SPOOKtivities I shared my Dia De Los Muertos book panel where I used 2 prints of my coloured Catrina kitty and fussy cut out just the flowers from the 2nd print.  I kept her head of course and used it for my hanging ornament make today!
 

To make my hanging ornament I used both sizes of the Tim Holtz Alterations Mini Paper Rosettes and die cut them from a sheet of Crafter's Companion Vintage Halloween cardstock in shades of pink and red with a spiderweb design.  Once assembled I applied Spectrum Noir Midas Gold pigment ink to all the ridges and edges of both rosettes, front and back.
 
 
I then decorated both sides of each rosette with paper flowers and the front of the smaller one has a spider crawling around amongst the flowers.
 
 
From my stash of jewelry supplies I upcycled a beaded wine bottle decoration with green beads and gold jewelry findings and re-assembled the linked components to create the hanger, the connecting piece between the 2 rosettes and the 3 strand beaded tassel.
 
 
Using the existing perforated fold holes in each rosette I widened a hole and attached the rosettes and the beaded components with jump rings.
 
 
For lots of pretty sparkle I embellished Catrina Kitty and all the paper flowers with Diamond Sickles glitter.


To complete my Day of the Dead make I adhered Catrina Kitty to the large rosette with black foam tape and attached a gold swirl hanger to hang up my fun Day of the Dead rosette ornament.
