More Halloween cards to share...

Here are a couple more Halloween cards with still more to come!

You've probably seen a lot of these cards around, but I still just had to try one. I ripped some strips of text-weight paper and inked the edges. Then after adhering a small piece of black CS to my kraft card base, I began layering the paper strips onto the front of my card. When that was done, I added the scary eyes and a spider and stamped "Boo!"

The inside of my card has a computer-generated sentiment.

My spider has a lot of dimension (it creates a hard bump in the envelope), so this card needed some extra postage, but you could easily add a flatter spider and it would work just as well.





 

My second card today is a side-step card. I love these cards! They're fun to make and easy to decorate (now that I have the Sizzix die set). For this one, I cut a scary tree and some tombstones using the Happy Hauntings cartridge. The black tree was backed with a solid cut-out in dark gray so that you can just make out the scary face on the trunk of the tree. I used a white ink pad on the moon (which was originally dark gray) to give it an eerie appearance. I cut the grass twice so that I could also add it to my tombstones. The pumpkins are dimensional stickers.

Did you notice that I ran a black marker along the edge of my DSP to give it an "outlined" look? I thought that worked really well on this card, especially given that the DSP was so close in color to the cardstock.

Please excuse this wonky photo, but I was trying to hold the card open and take a photo at the same time.

A couple of fun stamps on the inside and this card was done!

I'll be back tomorrow with still more Halloween cards. Hope you're not getting too bored yet.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and remember to laugh--a little or a lot--every day.
