Heart-2-Heart #7 & Happy Haunting - Day 3

Day 3 of this months Papertrey Ink countdown is upon us! I have really enjoyed hearing all of your thoughts on these two new sets. :)

Let's jump right in to todays post. Up first is Happy Haunting...

So I've been hearing from some of you that you think this little ghost/monster die would work great for a Frankenstein....brilliant idea!! So of course I had to play around and create my own little Frankenstein for today. As you can see in the above pic I die cut two of the monster images. After die cutting them I trimmed the top off of the black one and used that for Frankensteins hair...I just flipped it upside down and adhered it that way.  

And here you can see what I mean. The eyes were punched out of two different sized circle punches. I used the stitched mouth image in Happy Haunting to create the stitches on his face and then used another one of the mouth images for his actual mouth.  Super easy and fun to create this little guy! 

Here is another one using Happy Haunting. I kept both of these cards pretty simple...not too many extras which is perfect for mass producing.  

Up next is Heart-2-Heart #7. I used the Sending You die frame for both this card and the one below. Love these colors together...Orange Zest, Simply Chartreuse, Spring Moss and Plum Pudding. Just a few pearls, strips of glitter and a button were added to finish them both. 

I hope you have enjoyed todays projects! Only two more days to go until you can see all of the new sets in full. There is still so much more to see today...

LOVE the Frankenstein. But keep the "hair" spiked up and it could be Guy Fieri, the host on "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives". LOL
