You know Halloween is really going to sneak up on us! And if you want to mail cards to people, you have to think ahead (note to self!). This Spooky Sweet Haunted Street Halloween Card is an easy card to make if you have the Spooky Sweet Specialty Designer Series Paper. This paper even comes with some diecut images that you just pop out and adhere to your card or project.
The designer paper in this package is so fun and interesting. Two of the sheets feature different Halloween scenes, such as a street of haunted houses that can be cut apart and used however you like. For this card, I cut just this single house and cut it to fit on this card front. I cut the bottom edge and also along the roof lines on the top. The card base is Petunia Pop cardstock with a layer of Basic Gray cardstock. When you trim down this image on the designer paper it will fit on the card.
After getting the basic card made, I looked at the diecut images on two of the sheets that come in the package and chose the two pumpkins with the crow on top and a couple of bats. The pumpkins are popped up. The greeting is stamped with the Spooky Halloween Stamp Set. I stamped the words with Memento Ink on Pumpkin Pie cardstock, then trimmed it down as narrow as I could and separated the words. I popped up the greeting on Dimensionals. I really like this technique of cutting the words apart or making them very narrow to make them fit better on the card. I also added several Shimmer Star Foam Stickers in purple and black. Love these things!
Just get out your designer papers, look through them, and see what ideas you come up with. You might even find a good paper to use for Halloween in a package of birthday paper or who knows what! Have fun with creating!
