Halloween Cards 2

Hello!

My last post I showed you a couple Halloween cards.

Today I have the other 2 that I made to share with you.

I started with this background piece that I had in my stash.

I used alcohol inks on a coffee filter, then cut the filter

to size and adhered it to a piece of card stock.
When I was ready to use it, I ran it through my Cuttlebug

in an embossing folder to get some texture.

I stamped the witch with black ink and colored in the

other areas with colored pencils.
Once it was fussy cut, it was adhered to the card.

For the sentiment, I stamped the spider web, then

the greeting and fussy cut around some of the web.

I used the same web stamp for the BOO greeting

for the inside sentiment.

Used the same witch stamp for this card and adhered it

to an alcohol inked background along with the sentiment.

Inside I used the same stamps and added some other 

spider webs in the corners.

I loved making these cards, my biggest problem

is deciding which kids get which cards.

I'm glad you stopped by today and hope you have 

enjoyed it and have been inspired in some way.

Hope you'll come again soon.

Until then,

enjoy the season!

 

Halloween Cards

Welcome!

Halloween will be here before we know it,

so I decided I better get a few cards made.

Today I have 2 of those cards to share with you.

This one was very simple to make.  I sketched a

pumpkin and cut it out, then traced it onto the back of

this burlap "paper" and assembled the pieces into

a jack o lantern.
I found the background paper in my stash and thought

it would be perfect for the background.

I used the left over piece of the background paper inside the card,

stamped the web, spider and sentiment onto a piece of

white card stock, mounted them and I was all set.

This card was also very simple.

The color doesn't show up correctly for some reason,

it's actually a dark purple color.
I stamped the ghosts with white ink, then fussy cut one more 

and mounted it over one of the ghosts.

Stamped Happy Halloween and was all set with the front

of the card.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the spider web,

then the BOO over the top of it.

I cut around the BOO and adhered it inside the card.

These are very simple ways to make cards pretty quickly.

I really like how they turned out.

Thanks for stopping in today,

I hope you've been inspired in some way.

Come again soon and I'll show you a couple more

Halloween cards.
Until then,

BOO!!!

 

Boo!

Hello blog friends!

I have a few young great nieces and nephews

and this year I decided to send out Halloween cards

to them.

Today I'm showing you the 2 ghost cards I made for a

couple great nieces.

I used a die to cut the "body" of the ghost.

To make the fold at the top, I simply made sure that the

cutting edge of the die was off the fold so it didn't cut.

Since the die cut was a little smaller than a standard size,

I adhered it to a piece of black card stock.

I hand cut the eyes and mouth from scraps.

Here you can see better that I embossed the front 

of the ghost, by running it through the Cuttlebug with

an embossing folder.

Inside the cards I stamped BOO and drew in

the little spiders.

I think these cards turned out adorable,

I hope the girls I'm sending them to do too.

Thanks for stopping by today,

in the next few days I'll be posting the 

other Halloween cards I made,

so be sure to come back and see 

how they turned out.

Until next time,

Happy Crafting!
