Ghostly Mummies, Mummy Ghosts…or Ghummies? by Jean Okimoto

P1035502

Create Ghummies - happy little ghostly mummies -  with the new Haunting Ghosts die and a sheet from the Yuletide Cheer 6x6's.  Hi, Jean back again with another Halloween design featuring our 2024 Fall Cornucopia Collection.

We're using a wavy gold-foiled sheet from the Yuletide Cheer 6x6 set.  Here's an easy way to select a great section of the print for the ghosts.  Cut Haunting Ghosts from a contrasting cardstock scrap to create a template for the die.  Chose a section for your ghosts, then place the die in the template and cut the patterned paper exactly where you want it.

Cut scraps of black cardstock and attach them behind the eyes.  Cut another set of ghosts from black cardstock to add a contrasting black offset edge to the ghosts.  

Cut detailed top layer of Carving Pumpkin from the new Orange Peel 8.5x11" cardstock.  Cut the solid background from the black 6x6 in the Majestic Hues Glitter Pad.  Cut the stem/leaf/tendril pieces from the new Leaf Sprout sheet.  Color the stem with an orange marker - layering orange over Leaf Sprout creates a realistic woody-brown.  (A brown marker would be too dark.)

Cut 2 Eerie spiders from spiders from black cardstock. 

Stamp the greeting - from the new Magical Halloween Clear Stamp and Die Set - on a Key Lime 8.5x11 sheet with Nocturne VersaFine Clair.  Quickly heat-emboss it with detail clear powder.  Cut it with the 2" wide Nested Globes die.  Shade the edges with Nocturne too.

Cut black cardstock with the 2-½" wide Nested Globes die.

Attach the diecuts to a top-folded light  kraft A2 card - use foam tape for the pumpkin and the heads of the ghosts.

Have a crafty weekend -hope your favorite Retailer has already ordered the 2024 Fall Cornucopie Collection!

Fun little ghosts! I thought they were "whittle" ghosts at first. Very clever!
