Hello everyone and welcome to Days 2 and 3 of my 31 Days [hopefully] of Halloween/Autumn Cards 2023. My card for Day 2 is below but my step-by-step for the card is on the Technique Junkies Blog. It's a really fun card using the Spidery Halloween and Halloween Scene Set - and, of course, lots of googly eyes. I hope you will stop over there to check it out. I even stamped on the inside of the card.
For Day 3 - today - I am making a fun and simple Halloween card using card Sketch 14 from Tawny Owl Paperie | Inky Inspiration, a cardmaking group on Facebook run by my friend Crystal. If you love card sketches, cardmaking, or just want inspiration, this is a great group to join.
I am adding this to Crystal's TOP Inky Inspiration Sketch Challenge - All the Sketches. Links to everything I used are at the end of this post.
- I started by making a top-folding A2 card base using black cardstock.
- I printed one of the papers from the Hocus Pocus Paper Collection from Echo Park (links below) and then die-cut it using a 4" x 5.25" stitched rectangle die. I used a design that had witch's hats on it to match my sentiment.
- I used the same 4" x 5.25" stitched rectangle die to die-cut a piece of white cardstock for the inside of the card.
- I cut 3 pieces of textured cardstock, 4" x 6.25", in purple, orange, and green from the American Crafts Primary Cardstock. Then I applied double-sided tape to the back of each one.
- Using the small and medium dies in the Stitched Strips of Ease Heffy Cuts set from Heffy Doodle, I die-cut the purple cardstock using the small die and the orange and green cardstock using the medium die. If I cut too many I will just keep them for another project. If you don't want or like the stitched look, Heffy Doodle also has a non-stitched set, Strips of Ease Heffy Cuts.
- I adhered the strips of cardstock to my designer paper (as shown in the sketch) using the purple strips between the green and orange strips. Using double-sided tape on the back before die-cutting the strips makes this so easy.
When finished, I trimmed the excess.
Now to just put it all together.
- I cut a piece of fun foam and adhered it under my striped piece, then I adhered this to my card front.
- I stamped the sentiment, Witch In All of Us from Technique Junkies, on a piece of white cardstock, trimmed it, layered it on a piece of black cardstock, and then to the center of the card.
- And, lastly, I stamped Wicked Halloween, also from Technique Junkies, on the white cardstock we die-cut earlier and adhered it to the inside of the card.
And she's done! Here's the final card. Like I wrote above, super simple to make. The most time-consuming part was die-cutting the strips. Links to everything I used are below.
