Happy Haunting
Designed By:  Anita Mulcahey, www.happypapercrafthappenings.blogspot.com
Featuring:  Graphic 45 Happy Haunting Collection


Be sure to check out the Hens' Den Store and gallery for samples and to purchase these wonderful items.
I made this card for my daughter who is a freshman at Georgia Tech, I am missing her so much and wondering where all the time went.  I loved when she was little and wore little frilly dresses like this one.  She would have loved this dress as a little girl.

Supplies:
Graphic 45 Happy Haunting Tags 1
Graphic 45 Patterned Paper Jolly Jack O Lantern & Enchanted
1 ½” Sheer Rosettes Olive
¾ “ Ivory Twill Ribbon
Other Supplies:  Spellbinders Decorative Dress Forms, K & Co. Jewel, lace

Cutting Directions:
1.        Cut Enchanted patterned paper 1 ½ X 11”
2.       Cut neutral cardstock 5 X 10”
3.       Cut 5” square of Enchanted patterned paper
4.       Cut yellow cardstock into a 4 ½ “ square
5.       Die cut two of the dresses from the Spellbinder set
6.       Cut out one stamp pattern from the Jolly Jack O Lantern patterned paper
7.       Cut Enchanted 1 5/8 X 4 1/8”
8.       Cut Enchanted ¾” X 3 7/8”


Assembly Directions:
1.        Apply yellow card stock centered over the 5” card base and stitch with a zig zag stitch.
2.       Take one of the dresses you cut out and trim a piece to go on the bottom of the dress , mine shows ¼” of the green side of the paper. 
3.       Take the dress you cut the bottom from and trim a small piece from the bottom of the bodice and put on dress.
4.       Put a gem in the middle of the green paper piece.
5.       Add a small piece of lace to the bottom of the dress.
6.       Take the long strip of Enchanted paper and score starting at 1”, then 1 ½ “, 2 ½ “, 3” and then alternate between ½ and 1” until you get to the end of the strip.
7.       Adhere the pleated strip to the Enchanted piece that is 1 5/8 X 4 1/8”.
8.       Adhere the Enchanted ¾” x 3 7/8 “ piece on top of the pleated piece.
9.       Adhere the whole pleated piece 1 ½” from the bottom and ½” from the left and right.
10.   Pop up top part of dress and adhere over center of pleated piece.  I love how this came out and will definitely be doing this again.
11.   Add four of the roses below the pleated piece.
12.   Add the green clock from the chipboard sheet, which has twill in the middle and is popped up in the corner of the yellow card stock.  It was so cute I just had to use it on my card.
13.   Add popped up stamp ¼” in from the right and lined up with the top of the yellow card stock.
