I'm back! There's so much fun with the Holiday I had to come back and share one more Halloween project. Every holiday I like to send family and friends cards to let them know we're thinking of them so this is the card I made to send this year. It was inspired by a card by Patty Bennett (loved how she created the tombstone using the
Note Tag Punch). Today over on the
Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration blog we're sharing Halloween projects and this was the second card I shared.
For this card I started with Sahara Sand for the cardbase. Next I took a piece of Basic Black cardstock and used the
Confetti Stars punch to punch the stars along the border and then added a piece of Crushed Curry cardstock behind the cardstock to create a starry sky. I also added a piece of
Motley Monsters Designers Series Paper along the bottom of the card.
I had lots of fun with punches and framelits to fill out this card. I stated with the
Note Tag Punch and punched out a piece of Smoky Slate cardstock and stamped the "fright night" and bat and stars from the
Project Life Holiday Cheer stamp set before sponging around the edges with Basic Black Ink. Next I used the
Holiday Invitation stamp set to create the moon image by stamping the moon and stars on Crush Curry cardstock, punching it out with the
1" Circle Punch, and adding a small
rhinestone for a little sparkle.
I love the little ghost and pumpkin and they are too cute, and super easy thanks to the
Fun Fest Photopolymer stamp set and matching
Fall Fun framelits. I cut the ghost out of Whisper White cardstock and then used
Momento Ink to stamp the ghost face. For the pumpkin I used
Stampin' Write Markers to color in the pumpkin before stamping it and then stamped the face in Black before cutting it out with the framelits.
The final touch was to add the greeting. For this I used the
Bite Me Photopolymer stamp set (love that this set is still available). I stamped the greeting in Tangerine Tango ink on Sahara Sand cardstock before punching it out with the
Modern Label Punch. Of course I had to sponge around the edges with Basic Black ink before attaching the greeting to the cardfront.
Below are easy ordering links for the products used in this card:
Have a wonderful Halloween and enjoy all the festivities!

For the back I kept it
pretty basic, I used my paper piercer to make the holes in the black circles
and the envelope flaps and used the Mini
Silver Brads to attach them so I could add some Basic Black Baker’s Twine for the ties and they would wrap around
the circles to hold everything in place.
Of course I had to add a “to” and “from” so I used the Many Merry Stars stamp set (from the
Holiday Supplement) and stamped them in Real Red.
The first item is a treat bag for
Aidan to give to some of his neighbor friends.
In the past the neighborhood “Booing” tradition has taken place but it’s
kind of died down but Aidan really liked this idea. We decided to make these little treat bags
that Aidan can give to friends. We used
some small paper bags I had in my stash and stamped on them with the Gorgeous Grunge stamp set in Basic
Black, Tangelo Twist, and Blackberry Bliss.
For the tag I used the Scalloped
Tag Topper Punch (these punches are awesome!!!) and Very Vanilla
Cardstock. For the “Boo” and “to” images
I used the September Paper Pumpkin stamps
and the “You” is from the Merry
Everything stamp set. It’s great
using Stampin’ Write Markers to only
ink up part of the image for even more possibilities. The spooky trees stamped along the bottom is
also from the Paper Pumpkin kit as are the stickers and Orange Sequins. I love how versatile the Paper Pumpkin kits
are and you can use it for so much more than the initial kit projects. The final step is to use the 1/8” Circle Punch and then attached the
tag to the bag with Black Baker’s Twine (also from the Paper Pumpkin kit).
