Halloween Card Made with Scraps

Halloween Card Made with ScrapsThis is an easy and fun way to make a Halloween card using scraps of Halloween designer paper!  You can do this type of card for any occasion using any paper, even just plain cardstock in different colors. This card could even be embellished more but I chose to leave it simple.

The card base is Basic Black with a slight Very Vanilla layer. The paper strips are actually glued on to a piece of Pumpkin Pie cardstock. It’s easier to glue strips on to a piece of cardstock, trim the ends, and then layer that on the card than to try to get everything straight directly on the card. This is a great way to use up some scraps you have leftover from other projects. The strips can be the same size or they can be different widths. Just play around until you make them fit on the card. If you are layering on a piece of cardstock, you don’t have to worry about the length of the strips.  Just glue them down and then trim the ends from the back of that cardstock before adhering to the card front.

On this card I just tied on a piece of Basic Black 3/8″ Shimmery Ribbon.  I could have punched out a cat or cut out a pumpkin or added a greeting, but since the Halloween words were part of the paper, I just let that be the greeting.

The Spooky Night Designer Series Paper is a fun package to use for Halloween, and not all the sheets are exclusively for Halloween.  They can be used for other fall cards and projects.
