Autumn is almost here! Hubby had the TV on this afternoon and it was loud and clear Football season has started! That's always one clear sign that Autumn is on it's way. What's your favorite part of Autumn? Football, sweaters, Pumpkin Spice Lattes? Sweater weather is mine! That and making sweet Halloween cards.
My sister came over today and helped me to make 12 adorable cards to stock my card stash. I used the adorable Cute Halloween 6"x6" Designer Series Paper and Stamp Set and the equally adorable Frightfully Cute Bundle to make 3 sets of 4 different cards. My upline, Joey Hartman, designed the pink bat card for our August Make n' Take. I incorporated the same design and used the Cats and Pumpkins, Skulls and Ghost DSP's. They are all perfect for making delightful Halloween cards. I think my favorite is the Skulls!
Instructions to make this Cute Halloween card are as follows:
Basic Black Card Stock - cut at 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", score at 4 1/4"
Basic White Card Stock - cut 2 at 5 1/4" x 4".
- Using the Well Defined Stamp set and Tuxedo Black Memento Ink Pad, stamp the Halloween sentiment on 1 of the Basic White Card stock pieces.
- In the lower right hand corner, using the Cute Halloween Stamp set and Tuxedo Black Memento Ink Pad, stamp the skull outline and then stamp eyes and smile of your choice inside the skull.
