Spooky Halloween, Spooky Sweet, Halloween Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have another Halloween card to share with you. I'm on a quest to use up that 12" x 12" Spooky Sweet package of Designer Series Paper (DSP). I think it would be a first! It would probably get used up faster if I made more than one of each card I do. Anyway, read on to see how I made this card.

The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Basic Black card stock. It opens on the right and the fold is on the left. I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Basic White card stock and taped it to the inside.

I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of the DSP and taped it to the front of the card.

I was thrilled when I was able to use one of those tags that came on a sheet in the package. There's LOTS of tags in there and I thought they would be something that would probably just remain in the package with the rest of the scraps.  I took the green on with the two candies and cut a Basic Black layer for it. My layer measures 2-1/4" x 2-2/4".  I taped the two pieces together and set them aside.

I decided to use the cat image from the "Spooky Halloween" bundle for a change. I used the dog a lot and will probably use it a bit more since I had stamped and cut a few out the last time I used it.  I used my light Blends pens to color it in. I used Pumpkin Pie, Pecan Pie, Granny Apple Green and Berry Burst. Once the character was colored I added Dimensionals to the back and set it in place on the green rectangle piece.

The piece was laid on top of the card to see where the words were going to go. Normally I would stamp the words before taping the DSP down but I thought I was going to stamp the words on a separate piece of card stock and add them but I decided to stamp directly onto the DSP. The words are from the same "Spooky Halloween" bundle and were stamped using black Memento ink.  Then I taped that piece to the upper left of the card about 1/4" from the fold and the top edge. 

I wasn't sure what to do about the right side until I remembered there is a bat die in the bundle. SO I die cut them and used 3 for my card. I set them in place using Dimensionals. 

The card needed something more so I took my Wink of Stella pen and colored everything black on the card, including going over the words and black candies. It was a nice touch and the card was done.

This was a fun and quick card to make. The kiddies will think it's cute too!

Thank you SO much for taking your time to stop in and see today's Halloween card,
