A Witch's Stack of Spells and Potions Books

A Witch's Stack of Spells and Potions Books Card

We are finally starting to catch up! It has been a busy summer and fall (so far) with lots of gardening, harvesting, canning, and winter prep. We are excited for things to slow down so we can craft some more. We got enough done this week my mom and I could sneak in some crafting in. We have gotten a few new things from Waffle Flower crafts, This Calls for Confetti, Trinity Stamps, Lawn Fawn and Simon Says Stamp's STAMPtember items that we have been wanting to use and play around with! We haven't got to all of the items yet but we we will. 

So I decided to make a stack of Potions and Spells Books for a fun Halloween Card.

Here is the Card:

I used:

• Merry Bookmas die and stencil set from Waffle Flower Crafts
• Purple, yellow, black, green, Yellow and orange glitter, metallic grey and black, and white cardstock
• Lawn Fawn Falling Leaves designer paper (dark orange)
• Tim Holtz Sizzix Vault Gothic Portraits Thinlits Dies
• Tim Holtz Sizzix Vault Fright Night Thinlits Dies
• Tim Holtz Distress inks - various colors & a blending brush
• Black marker

I took the black cardstock and used a strip of the falling leaves Lawn Fawn designer paper as the background and for the inside of the card. I die cut out the waffle flower craft stack of books and cut off the star on the top to just make it a stack of books. I used the coordinating stencils and the Tim Holtz distress inks and blending brush to color the books in Autumn/Halloween Colors. I also die cut out the witches hat, spider, spider web, potion bottles and stars from the Tim Holtz Halloween Vault die sets.  I then wrote spells and potions on the sides of the cut out books with a black marker. I added foam adhesive squares to make some the potion bottles pop. 

......and that's it! 

Happy crafting to you all! We hope you feel inspired to create something and if you can, craft with your family and/or friends and make some fun memories together!
