Today I have used the Gina Frankenstein Bride digital stamp from MoonFlower DigiStamps, our generous sponsor this week.  The theme for our challenge is fancy folds, so I thought I would add an extra surprise to Halloween with some twist pop cards.

I opened the cut file for the Twist Pop Boo Card cut file on my Silhouette Cameo design mat and enlarged the pieces, making the base length 11 3/4" (as large as I could to just fit on the cutting mat).  I added a couple of matting layers to the front then took the smallest top layer to add the Gina Frankenstein Bride digital stamp, sizing her to fit neatly and adding some bats and a black cat.  I printed the image panel on X-Press It blending card then cut with the Cameo.  I printed the banner sentiment and Halloween patterned paper on textured cardstock and cut it with my Cameo.  I cut all the other card layers and twist-pop mechanisms from textured cardstock.  (note: I added another layer to the sentiment banner so that it had more contrast against the patterned paper.)  The cut file comes with some spooky elements to decorate the front of the card too, so I cut them to embellish the second card.

I heat set the image then coloured with Copic markers (details below).
I burnished all the folds of the card base, mechanism and boo strip then assembled the card.  (Lori's video tutorial is HERE).  I punched out some little black flowers, die cut some leafy flourishes and finished off the card with some sparkling black bling and tiny black star confetti.
What do you think?

Here are the two closed cards together

They both have a big BOO waiting inside,

along with some pretty patterned paper.

One last look of these Halloween cuties ...
