๐ Spooky Halloween Eclipse Card Tutorial
This is one of my favourite techniques — the eclipse style card! It works beautifully with Designer Series Paper (DSP) that has a bold pattern or scene (florals, landscapes, seasonal prints — almost anything!).
✂️ Measurements
- Base Card: Black – 21 cm x 14.5 cm, score at 10.5 cm
- Layer 1: Pumpkin Pie – 14 cm x 10 cm
- DSP Layer: 9 cm x 13 cm (this will be cut into strips)
- Inside Layer 1: Pumpkin Pie – 14 cm x 10 cm
- Inside Layer 2: Basic White – 13.9 cm x 9.5 cm
๐งก Eclipse Technique
- Take your DSP (9 cm x 13 cm). Place it at the top of your trimmer (9 cm side up).
- Cut into nine 1 cm strips — keep them in order so the pattern lines up correctly.
- Adhere strips to Pumpkin Pie layer:
- First strip: Liquid Glue (flat).
- Second strip: Foam Adhesive Strip (raised).
- Alternate glue/foam until all nine strips are adhered. This creates the “eclipse” effect.
๐ฆ Sentiment & Decor
- Use a banner die (or cut approx. 5 cm x 3.2 cm rectangle). Round corners if you wish.
- Stamp the word “Spooky” in Memento Black.
- Use Blending Brushes with Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie, and Memento Black to add a glowing, spooky background.
- Add stamped bats from the Spooky Halloween Stamp Set (or substitute with any Halloween images you have).
- Attach the sentiment banner to the card front.
๐จ Inside the Card
- Layer Pumpkin Pie (14 cm x 10 cm).
- Add White cardstock (13.9 cm x 9.5 cm) for writing your messages
๐ป Tip
Try this technique with different DSP patterns — florals, Christmas papers, or even scenic backgrounds — for completely different looks!
