I hope you’re not sick of seeing Halloween cards here, I just can’t help myself…..lol!! I love making Halloween cards and I do send them out to a lot of friends and family. Anyhoo the 3 cards…yes 3 Halloween cards I’m sharing today, I think only one of them has any stamping on it. I’m trying to use some of the Halloween stuff that I have bought over the years and some new stuff too. Also to try and do/work with some thing different.
My first card is made with a Halloween sticker that I have had for years, from creative imaginations by Debbie Mumm. I stuck the sticker to a piece of black cardstock and cut around it, popped it up with some black foam boosters. I punched some bats from a Martha Stewart punch, added some yellow 3D paint with a toothpick to the bats. Added the sheer black ribbon and some googly eyes to the pumpkin, now I have one more Halloween card done!!! So what do you think of the sticker Halloween card?
My next card is made with a crafty secrets Halloween cotton scrap. I didn’t know where I was going with this card when I started to make it, but I do like the way it turned out…..not at first though, it kind of grew on me…..lol!! I wish you could see the shimmer on the green cardstock panel, I used the Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist in Walnut Gold. I wet the panel, bunched it up then smoothed it out, sprayed it with the glimmer mist and let it dry. It kind of makes it look like a piece of fabric, to tie it in with the cotton scrap, which I frayed the edges of. The black felt flowers are I think from prima. I used a Martha Stewart border punch(arch lattice) at the top on some DP. I couldn’t get a very good photo of this card for some odd reason and the black flowers are straight even though they don’t look like it…..lol!!
Last card here is pretty simple. I used some K&Company Rob & Bob Halloween DP and Layered Accents. The pumpkins I thought are so cute & fun and the goofy looking bat….lol!! Anyhoo I made some grass out of old olive cardstock, cut the slits ruffed them up a little, stamped the sentiment in black and then went over the sentiment with a black stardust pen to add some shimmer. The dots on the DP have stickles glitter glue on them to add some sparkle! The pumpkins & bat come with a foam dimensional dot already on the back so I just stuck them to the DP. I think it turned out kind of cute!!
So what do you think of my quick and easy hardly stamped Halloween cards????
