Another Spooky Halloween Card... Boo!


As promised, here's another fun and quick Halloween card to make! The contrasting textures of the Twill Stickers and the Chipboard pieces give this card lots of dimension. Perfect to send a little spook to your friends or family this season!

Supplies:
P-0179 Bats Paper
STFT-0018 Halloween Canvas Quotes
ST-2180EZ Pumpkins 2" StickyPix
STCX-0098 Trick or Treat Cardstock Sticker
RUB-0402 Cracked Up Rob-Ons - 1/2" - White

Black Cardstock
Orange Ribbon
Chipboard Brackets
(we used our extra purple brackets from DCCB-0010 Paris Chipboard)

Instructions:
  1. Trim black cardstock to 5.5 x 11" and fold in half to make card base (5.5" square).
  2. Cut a 5.5" square piece of the Bats Paper and mount the front of the card.
  3. Remove the large, square pumpkins sticker from the Canvas Quotes sheet and fray the edges slightly with scissors or a craft knife. Adhere to the upper left of the card at a slight angle.
  4. Adhere the long black cats sticker from the Canvas Quotes along the bottom of the card, about 1/4" from the bottom and centered.
  5. Place the skull sticker from the Trick or Treat cardstock at the bottom right corner of the pumpkins twill.
  6. Adhere chipboard brackets to either side of the black cats twill sticker, lining up the bottom of the chipboard piece to the bottom of the twill sticker.
  7. Spell out BOOoo! with Cracked Up rub-ons to title your card, and add a Jack O' Lanterns sticker to the upper right corner of the card as an accent. Finish off by tying orange ribbon around the hinge of the card, tying extra bits of ribbon around the knot for a spooky touch!

Trick or Treat Card

We've got some fun projects coming up for you in the near future, and to start, here's a great fun Halloween card we made using just some cardstock and Paper House paper, stickers & mini cut-outs.

Supplies:
P-0176 Spider Shadow Paper
STCX-0098 Trick or Treat Cardstock Sticker
ST-2180EZ Pumpkins 2" StickyPix Sticker
DCM-0008 Jack O' Lantern Mini Cut-Out
DCM-0007 Witch's Hat Mini Cut-Out

1 Sheet of White Cardstock
Orange and Black Ribbon

Instructions:
  1. Trim white cardstock to 6.5 x 10" and fold in half to make card base (5 x 6.5").
  2. Mount a piece of the Spider Shadow paper to the front of the card (we used the bottom right corner to include the spider). Trim off excess.
  3. Place the Ghost sticker from the cardstock in the middle of the card.
  4. Glue the Witch's Hat mini cut-out to the top of the Jack O' Lantern mini cut-out. Adhere to left side of card with pop dots, overlapping the ghost slightly and letting a bit of the cut-outs hang over the edge of the card.
  5. Mount the Trick or Treat title of the cardstock sticker onto orange cardstock and trim around the shape of the sticker with scissors or a craft knife. Adhere to the card above above the ghost sticker with pop dots, placing at a slight diagonal.
  6. Stick the candy corn border of the cardstock sticker at a diagonal along the upper right corner of the card.
  7. Create a row of Jack O' Lanterns across the bottom of the card using the Pumpkins 2" sticker.
  8. Tie an orange ribbon around the card toward the bottom, running it underneath the Jack O' Lantern mini cut-out. Tie extra orange and black ribbon scraps around the knot to finish.
