A Spooktacular Halloween Card

Halloween cards are always so much fun to create, and the Spooktacular Designer Series Paper makes it especially easy to create a festive card with lots of personality!
For this card, I started with a Basic Black cardstock card base and layered it with Granny Apple Green cardstock and then the Spooktacular DSP. The DSP was cut to 3 7/8" x 5 1/8".

One of my favorite details on this card is the dimensional leaves. I carefully cut the leaves from the Spooktacular DSP and then re-adhered them to the card front using Stampin' Dimensionals. This gives the leaves a little extra lift and adds some fun dimension to the otherwise flat DSP background.

For the sentiment, I used one of the Spotlight on Nature Dies to cut the circle. The "BOO to You" sentiment from the Oh My Fright Stamp Set was stamped in Basic Black Hybrid Ink.

To give the circle a little more Halloween color, I sponged the edges with Pumpkin Pie ink using a Sponge Dauber. A few Timid Tiger Sunset Sparkle Sequins add just the right amount of sparkle and finish off the front of the card.

A Little Halloween Fun Inside

I carried the Halloween colors to the inside of the card with a Pumpkin Pie cardstock panel.

The "Happy Halloween" sentiment and the fun cloud of bats are both from the Oh My Fright Stamp Set and were stamped in Basic Black Hybrid Ink.

I love how the inside coordinates with the card front without being overly complicated. Sometimes a simple stamped sentiment and a few images are all you need!

This card is a great example of how you can let Designer Series Paper do most of the work while adding just a few simple details to create a fun and festive handmade Halloween card.

Happy Halloween—and happy stamping!

Halloween Blog Hop - BOO! A Frightfully Fun Halloween Card

Welcome to the Halloween Theme Blog Hop! I’m so glad you’re joining us for some creative inspiration. Today I’m sharing a fun and festive Halloween card featuring the Frightfully Fun Designer Series Paper and lots of spooky little details.

There’s something about Halloween cards that makes it perfectly acceptable to add BOO in big, bold letters!

For this card, I started with a Basic Black cardstock card base and added a layer of Frightfully Fun Designer Series Paper. The orange spiderweb background makes the perfect backdrop for all the spooky elements.

The oversized BOO was cut from Basic Black cardstock using the Party Alphabet dies. I love how the large letters fill the card front and create a fun focal point.

The little ghosts peeking out from behind the letters are actually fussy cut from the Frightfully Fun Designer Series Paper. They were just too cute to leave on the sheet! I added a few bats, cut from Basic Black cardstock using the Oh My Fright dies, to give the ghosts some company.

For a little sparkle, I added Timid Tiger sequins from the Sunset Sparkle Sequins. They add just the right amount of Halloween shine without taking away from the bold design.

I carried the Halloween colors to the inside of the card, too. A Pumpkin Pie cardstock panel was adhered to the Basic Black card base, followed by a Basic White panel for the writing area.

The sentiment and the fun cloud of flying bats are both from the Oh My Fright stamp set and were stamped in Basic Black Hybrid ink. I love how the inside continues the spooky theme while still leaving plenty of room for a personal message.

This card was such a fun combination of bold letters, cute ghosts, flying bats, and a little sparkle. Sometimes a simple color combination of black, orange, and white is all you need to create a fabulous Halloween card!
