The ghosts are really flocking around to get ready for Halloween on this Cutest Ghosts Halloween Trick-or-Treat Card! They look pretty friendly to me, though! I just love this stamp set, especially the cute little ghosts and the stamped eyes and arms! It’s really fun to play with making Halloween cards and projects.
I’ve done some random stamping before using only the black Memento ink, but on this card, I thought I would try using different colors. These cute ghosts and other Halloween images are in the Cutest Halloween Stamp Set. I still used Memento black ink, but I also used Pumpkin Pie and Highland Heather. I just stamped on Basic White, a smaller piece 5 1/4″ x 3″. At the bottom of the card front is a black and white striped pattern in the Cute Halloween 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper cut at about 5 1/4″ x 1 1/2″. I overlapped the stamped ghost piece over the striped piece. To cover the seam and help the ribbon show up better, I cut a Basic Black cardstock strip 1/2″ x 5 1/4″. Using my Grid Paper (which I can’t stamp without!), I lined up the papers so the two papers together would only measure 4 1/4″ and adhered those together carefully. Then I adhered the black strip over the seam. And then I added the Black 3/8″ Glittered Organdy Ribbon. Love this ribbon! It’s so pretty! I might not have added the bow, but as it happened, I had it tied already from another occasion when I didn’t use it and it just happened to be with the spool of ribbon. So I went ahead and used it! I adhered the bow with two Mini Glue Dots.
The greeting is a stamp in the Cutest Halloween Stamp Set. I stamped it on Basic White and die cut with a small die in the Ornate Frames Dies. The Highland Heather layer is a great matching layering die in the set. It’s always nice when there are dies you can layer in the same set!
For a little bling, I added the colored stars in the Cute Stars Adhesive-Backed Sequins. Almost forgot, I had also stamped the individual candy corn stamp in between the ghosts! I colored in the bottom tip with a Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blend Marker. Maybe it should have been the top portion! Isn’t that a controversy about which end is which color on candy corn?? Anyway, that little candy corn was a fun thing to fill in the space in between the ghosts.
Here is another card where I stamped the ghosts only in black ink. I love this card, too, though!
