October Stamp Club Challenge Card

Hello crafty people

Last night was the monthly stamp club gathering and we had a great time as always.

Last month we were given a challenge piece that was a real challenge for me. 

(I guess that's why its considered a challenge)

It is a lenticular lens scene - halloween themed. I know you are wondering what is a lenticular lens??? We we've all seen them and held them and looked at them with some awe, or at least I have. A lenticular lens will change if you move it back and forth. Check out the definition here. 

I took a few pics of the piece in hopes you can see the scene changes if I re-positioned my hand.

The ghosts are different and so is the pumpkin

OK anyway, this piece is large, it's a 6"X 6" piece 

and if I trimmed it, some of the scenes would be cut off

 So I decided to make a trick or treat bag 

and this challenge piece would be the focal point

of a bag topper. 

I used a white gift bag and covered the front with an orange print DP piece

Next I made my bag topper

I cut a scalloped rectangle and then layered a purple scalloped rectangle piece over that.

On the purple layer I added the lenticular piece.

Adding some bats and some scull & cross bones die cuts really finished it off.

I slid it onto the bag over one of the handles and WELLA.....
it's a trick ot treat bag

This bag could also be used as a larger spooky dried flower arrangement holder 

or a great gift bag to hold a gift

I love making bag toppers.

They really dress up a plain bag. 

I think it gives the bag its own personality.
