Sometimes you have to just stop the world and stamp Halloween cards like this Spooky Ghosts Halloween Card! Especially if you are planning to mail some of the cards and you want them to get there before Halloween! That’s what I did the other day! I just used up some of the leftover pieces in my September 2018 Paper Pumpkin Kit, used the stamp set from the kit, and used some of my Toil & Trouble Designer Series Paper.
This card has a card base of Gorgeous Grape Cardstock. On a layer of Whisper White, I cut a strip of the Toil & Trouble Designer Paper with the cute little ghosts and stamped the word “Spooky” down the other side of the card. The stamp comes from the exclusive stamp set included in every Paper Pumpkin Kit. I loved the font! I often forget to use the stamp sets that came in my Paper Pumpkin Kits!
For fun, I placed three other ghosts along the side! As in this post, I told you how I like to make ghosts out of heart shapes cut in half!
In order to stamp the word “Spooky” so evenly, I used my Stamparatus! It’s perfect for this, especially the unique Stampin’ Up! feature of moving the plate with the stamp down a hinge each time! It’s great! And if any of the images didn’t stamp fully, I could have reinked the stamp still on the Stamparatus, not moved the card, and then stamped again right over the first image.
If you don’t already own a Stamparatus, I strongly urge you to put one on your next order, in time for making Christmas cards! It will be so great when you are stamping multiples!
It’s time to get those Halloween cards and treats made this weekend! Have fun working on such enjoyable projects!
