Happy Halloween
Cut a piece of black paper so
it's the width of the card you want to decorate. Using a 3/4" circle
punch, punch three circles across the paper. Cut a smaller piece of gold
text weight paper to back this piece. Glue this band onto your base card
and then glue three of the pumpkin confetti to the center of each circle. The
shine from the metallic paper makes the pumpkins stand out.
Items used:
Metallic Paper
Circle Punch - small

Haunted House Card
Make any card into a house by
cutting off the top to a point. The door was cut (notice the fun irregular
shape!) and then backed with a piece of black cardstock. A mini black brad
was used for the door's handle. A small square punch was used to punch out
the window.
Items used:
Mini brads- black

Black Cat
Our bright orange vellum is fun to
work with. Here a piece of vellum was cut so it
perfectly fit on the bottom half of a melon colored Memory Box slim card. We lightly sprayed the vellum with spray adhesive to make it stick. Notice the shape of the
piece of orange cardstock the
cat was stamped on. It adds a fun touch.
Items used:
Orange Vellum

Memory Box Card made of daffodil duplex.

Spider Card
You'll love the new spider
punch. Here we attached orange vellum to the card using two black
eyelets. We then drew a simple web for the background for our
spiders. They were attached to the card using double stick mounting tape
so the spiders stick out a little from the card. In the right light, you
actually get a shadow effect! Notice how the bottom spider is set so his legs go off
the orange vellum. It's a nice touch.
Items used:
Spider Punch
Eyelets - black
Vellum Paper - orange

A Treat Bag
A decorated muslin bag makes a
great treat bag. We often use just regular Colorbox
ink on fabric we don't intend to wash. That's what we did here. We
stamped the dot stamps using orange and black ink.
Attached to the
sack is an orange vellum envelope. Notice how you get a hint of what's inside. That's one of the neat features
of vellum.
Items used:
Muslin bags
Vellum Envelopes - orange

"Good
Spirits"
I love window cards. Here we used a circle punch on the
front of the card to create the window. We then punched a
circle out of contrasting paper to represent the moon.
Crafters' Glue was used to glue on the ghost buttons. The
greeting was stamped in white and then embossed with white
embossing powder.
Items used:
Colorbox - white

Silver
Ghost Card
The silver ghost card is easy to make but very
effective. Simply tie on the charm with orange
gingham ribbon to a small rectangle of silver text paper.
The color of the silver paper enhances the beautiful color
of the silver charm. Mount this onto a rectangle of black
cardstock and then onto an orange card. Stamp happy
halloween in black.
Items used:
Ghost charms
Gingham ribbon - orange |

GOOD
SPIRITS
Who says your white silver rimmed circle tags have
to stay white? Here Jennie used a dauber and
Colorbox colors olive, ochre, and terra cotta to
give her tags a unique look. The new Halloween
greeting was stamped in black. The main card was
stamped twice with the diamond background stamp.
First it was stamped with ColorBox ochre and then
positioned differently and restamped with parchment.
To complete the card, Jennie used a 1/8"
anywhere hole punch to attach the tag to the card
Items used:
F4759 Diamond Background
C4707 Good Spirits
1/8" Anywhere hole punch
Silver Rimmed Circle Tags, 2 1/4"

HAPPY
HAUNTING!
As the seasons change, we're inspired to use new
colors. Here Jennie used canary, marigold and terra
cotta ColorBox ink on the Impress block to set the
tone for her Happy Haunting card. She inked the
block with color and then used a dauber and a black
Colorbox pad to give a dark edge to the image before
stamping. By clicking on the picture, you'll get an
enlarged version of the card and you'll be able to
see even better what we're talking about. This
artistic trick gave the perfect look for a Halloween
card. The Happy Haunting stamp was stamped in black.
