I’ve been busy in my laboratory (a.k.a. craft studio) creating three more Halloween files for a Spooktacular week of giveaways! Core’dinations and Team KNK are teamed up to celebrate the coming holiday with you.
Freebies:
The Halloween files I created specifically for use with Core’dinations card stock available in AI, GSD, KNK, MTC, SVG, and WPC.
Giveaways:
Core’dinations – Black Magic card stock
Team KNK- $50 KNK USA gift certificate
Cuttin’ Up Designs – $20 gift certificate to my part of the store at VDBC
What you need to do:
Post a comment on Team KNK and post a comment to the Team KNK Halloween images on Core’dinations’ blog – that’s it. Pretty simple, eh? After the hectic week of Homecoming, I need simple! We’ll match up those comments on Friday and post the winners next Monday!
So here is the first design of the week – the Grim Reaper – and his alter ego!

Sorry, the free file is no longer available.
And lit from behind with a spotlight:
Below are photos of the peeling process:

Start with the outer point of smaller pieces and peel toward the center or where it joins a larger section.

If your blade has penetrated far enough into the paper, the black layer will peel off easily.

Hold your paper piercing tool at a very low angle to the paper so you don’t pierce the colored layer, but slide just under the black layer.

The lettering I selected has lots of little nooks and crannies. I found it was much easier to peel from the outside to the middle on letters like H. For the letter E, I pulled right to left, and so on.
Although I hijacked Team KNK for today’s post, the next two will be on Tuesday and Thursday so my fellow designers can keep their posting schedules. Here is a sneak peek at tomorrow’s post using both cutting and sanding on the Core’dinations card stock:
Good luck to you on the Core’dinations, Team KNK, and Cuttin’ Up Designs Halloween Giveaways!

This is super cool. Do you have a link to the Facebook page? Easier for lazy people like me. 🙂
The link is above… under “What You Need To Do”.
This is an awesome technique! Thank you for sharing both the technique and your files. I’m frantically digging through my paper stash for all my Core’dinations paper. Can’t wait to actually DO this.
THANKS, Michele!! Such cool designs!!! What a neat thing you discovered. Thanks for showiing us how and thanks for the designs!!

I love your spooky degisns and think the backlight feature is awesome.
What fun designs and clever use of core’dinations! Happy fall 🙂
Hmmm… I am going to have to find some time to play with this stuff.
Michelle,
Love this technique with coordinations card stock. It would be great on one of those clear glass blocks with lights inside. You are very clever. The pics are great.
what a wonderful way to use core’dinations. i just love the way you have used this technique with great designs
awesome project love this. can’t seem to find the black magic anywhere
I bought some, by the sheet, at my local JoAnn’s. If you do not have one locally, then you can order it online:

Or I’m sure googling it will provide even more sites selling it.
This is very cute!

Awesome technique! I plan on making replacement lampshades for my Glade “candles”. This will be a cool effect. Thanks for sharing!
Oops-that should be Febreeze Flameless Luminary. The one that looks like a pyramid (square base) and has timer light.

I love Halloween and you’ve given me yet another way to create my “mean” Halloween, Michele.
Wow….this is awesome stuff. I wanna play with this. I love what you have created.
Thanks so much for sharing.Neat idea.
This is so cool! I would love to have this file!

Love the grim reaper!
WOW Michelle, this design is awesome. Thanks for sharing 🙂 I like this new technique, gotta try it when I get the chance.
Oh my! That’s a lot of work but such a great use of the black magic paper. I have lots of it and have never thought to do that.
I am totally blown away by this project and your machine.I have to learn more.
I don’t think I have ever seen this paper before but I really do love what they are doing with it. Not only I can see a card, but I can see it placed on on a glass block lighting it from behind. I think that would be pretty too and it shouldn’t get too warm….we always must be concious of safety….smile.
Thanks for bring this to us. I look forward to seeing other graphics used.
I love how dramatic your cut and peel technique is! Wow! Very impressive!
I know I said this before, but now I “get” the product.
Thanks for the detailed pics and instructions.
Another great image!! Thank you so much!
Love Core’dinations paper, and now this gives me a reason to love it even more!!! I want to learn more about the KNK machine too!!! This is sooo creepy cool!!! Thanks for the ‘spooktacular’ fun & freebies!
Great ideas! Great giveaways! Got my fingers crossed!
That is just too cool.
I am a technique junkie and this is AWESOME! Thanks for teaching it.
Well how perfect is this for Halloween. Ghoulish.
Great job ladies! Thanks for the file. Loved seeing the extra photos of the peeling process and hints.
What a fabulous project! Thank you for sharing.
What a BLAST! This week was a lot of fun, and I am in the mood for October to begin! I started pulling out my Halloween decorations and putting my Core’dinations projects in the windows. I found a great location in my lighted china hutch for two of the creations. I can’t wait til Monday, when we kick off October and learn who the winners are!!!!!! Good luck to all!
That is sooo neat! I never would have thought to do that with that paper.
Iam sooooo ready to try this.
I just love this technique. It offers so many possibilities. I just can’t find the paper anywhere local. Thanks for sharing. Melisa
Super cool, Michelle. TFS

The file is great. the paper is very interesting. Would love to try it. Thanks
This would work great for lots of occasions.
