The Paper Shelter #615 ~ Squares or/and Circles

  Hello crafting friends and welcome to this week's challenge

at the The Paper Shelter. 

Team A - our challenge this week is 

~ Squares or Circles ~

(make a circle or square shaped card or include circles or squares on your project)

For this week's challenge, I made a Halloween card for a very special young lady in my life, using the very cute  Impish Halloween Lover digi set.

I went with squares for my project.  Not only did I make a square card, but I used the Layout Square die from Marianne Design and  included a few squares on my project too!

Here is a close up of this cutie and all the layers I made to add some dimension to my card.  I print and cut it out 5 times.  On 3 of these, I  just make the pic white so it would not waste ink.  I adhered these white layers together.  Next I printed the full image twice.  I adhered one of the layers to the other 3 so it would make it sturdy.  The second full image I adhered it to the existing layers with foam squares.  While I had the whole image on Silhouette, I traced just the sweets portion of the image, from the teddy to the kitty, and print and cut that small piece.  I adhered that on top, also using foam squares.  

You can't quite tell the dimension I achieved with all the layers from the pics, but maybe this one shows it a little better.

I cut out the Layered Square 5 times, out of black cardstock, and adhered each layer to each other using liquid glue.  Next I print the background that comes with this set and cut it out using the same die.  Then it was just a matter of paper piecing.

I used the background on the inside too, but added my greeting and used Silhouette's print and cut feature to cut it out.  I had printed a few extra sweets, so I added them to the inside of the card just for fun.

This is a 6" x 6" card.  A bit bigger than my normal size, but to be honest, I do like the way it turned out.  I'm hoping that my little Emma is going to love it too.

Yikes, Halloween is just around the corner and I still have a few cards to make.  I'd better get cracking!!  Now before I go, I would like to invite you to come play along with us.  Remember that The Paper Shelter has fabulous prizes up for grabs. Check out the details below ...
