SPOOKY FUN - HALLOWEEN CARD SET

 

Hello, Happy Friday everyone!

Today I’m excited to share a set of Halloween cards that I made,

Today’s cards feature the awesome Spooky Fun Photopolymer Bundle again.

 

This set of cards is quick and easy to make and would make a perfect gift,

A very minimal card design with a lot of white space, but still eye catching!

 

I started off by making eight A2 top folding cards out of Trophee Board White Linen cardstock,

Using my We R Memory Keepers Trim & Score Board to do all my trimming and paper scoring.

 

I then stamped my sentiments using the Stampin’ Up! Spooky Fun Photopolymer Stamp Set,

stamping four cards with “Happy Halloween” and four with “Trick Or Treat”, using Memento

Tuxedo Black Ink.

 

For the four “Happy Halloween” cards I took the awesome moon from the stamp set and

stamped the moon above each sentiment in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink, slightly offsetting
the moon to the left of the sentiment as I stamped.

 

Using the coordinating Halloween Scenes Edgelits Dies from the bundle, I then die cut out
two bats and witches, using some retired Stampin' Up! Black Glimmer Paper from last year’s
Holiday Catalogue.

 

I then adhered the bats and witches to each card base, using Best Creation Small Square
Foam Tape Dots, slightly overlapping the stamped moon as I placed them onto the cards.

 

Lastly I adhered three Studio Calico Wood Veneer Tiny Stars around each moon image,

adhering the Tiny Stars with a small amount of Tombow Mono Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
 

For the four “Trick Or Treat” cards I stamped a few extra elements onto the card bases,

I used the adorable set of three ghosts above two of the sentiments, and stamped two

solid little bats that are in the stamp set above the last two Trick Or Treat sentiments,

stamping everything in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink.

 

Next I stamped two tombstones in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink onto Basic Gray Cardstock,

and two sets of pumpkins in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink onto Pumpkin Pie Cardstock, I’ve

then used the coordinating dies to die cut each image out - super quick and easy!

 

Again I adhered the pumpkins and tombstones to each card base, using small
Best Creation Square Foam Tape Dots, giving each card that pop of dimension.

 

As a finishing touch I added some Clear Wink Of Stella to the stamped bats,

This just gave these two cards a bit of sparkle and some added interest.

 

A set of eight cards that were super quick and easy to make!

I hope you like these minimal, but super cute Halloween cards.

 

Thanks so much for stopping by!

CASOLOGY WEEK 207 - ROUGH

Hello, welcome back everyone!

Today’s card I created for this week’s CASology challenge,

Our cue card / challenge for week 207 at CASology is “ROUGH”.

 

 

I immediately thought of “rough texture” when I saw the cue card for this week’s challenge,

I chose to use a few raw (rough) elements on my card design, using cork and wood veneer.

 

Again I’ve started off by making an A2 top folding card out of Trophee Board White Linen cardstock,

Using my wonderful We R Memory Keepers Trim & Score Board to do all my trimming and paper scoring.

 

I’ve then begun by stamping three leaves, using the Stampin’ Up! Vintage Leaves Photopolymer Stamp Set,

stamping all the leaves in Versamark Ink so I could heat emboss them to give the leaves some added texture.

 

I’ve used Rangers Clear Super Fine Embossing Powder on the Cherry Cobbler and Crumb Cake cardstock leaves to give them a nice tone on tone colour, while still allowing the leaves to look soft, but have that texture from the heat embossing, I then heat embossed another of the smaller leaves onto a piece of Vellum cardstock, using Rangers White Super Fine Embossing Powder.

 

I then went ahead and die cut out all the leaves using the coordinating Leaflets Framelits Dies,

I also die cut out a small Adhesive Backed Cork banner, using the Banners Framelits Die Set.

 

To assemble the card I started by applying my Adhesive Backed Cork banner to the card base,

I then made a large messy bundle of Gold Metallic Thread and adhered this to the cork banner.

 

Using Mini Glue dots I then adhered all my leaves on top of the thread and cork banner, offsetting them slightly to the right hand side of the card base, lastly I adhered the Thanks Wood Veneer to the large Cherry Cobbler leaf using Tombow Mono Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

 

As a finishing touch, I added a few Gold Metallic Sequins from Pretty Pink Posh in two sizes,
Adhering the sequins to the card with a small amount of Rangers Glossy Accents Adhesive.

 

I hope you enjoyed this rough texture thank you card design.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
