Oh My Fright, Frightfully Fun, Halloween Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a fun, quick and easy Halloween card to share with you. Please read on to see how it was made.

The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. It opens on the right and the fold is on the left. 

I cut a 4-1/8" x 5-3/8" piece of Basic Black card stock for the largest layer. On top of that is a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Designer Series Paper (DPS) from the "Frightfully Fun" 12" x 12" package. I taped that to the Basic Black piece and then that was taped to the front of the card. 

Next I cut the pieces for the long panel. The back layer is a piece of Pumpkin Pie card stock that measures 4-1/2" x 2-1/4". On top of that is a 4-3/8" x 2-1/8" piece of Basic Black card stock and on top of that is a 4-1/4" x 2" piece of DSP from the same package. I taped these layers together and added Dimensionals to the back. The panel was set in place on the left side of the card about 1/2" from the top and bottom edge and also from the fold. 

I cut two ghosts using the dies in the "Oh My Fright" bundle on a piece of vellum. I also cut the bats from the same bundle using Basic Black card stock. 

The words were stamped from the same bundle using Basic Black ink on a piece of Basic White card stock. I cut them out using the 1-3/4" die from the "Stylish Shapes" set. I used a retired circle set and cut a Basic Black piece using the 1-7/8" circle die.  I taped the two circles together. Dimensionals were added to the right side and tape to the left. The circle layer was set in place about 1/4" from the right edge and 3/4" from the bottom edge. I didn't press down on the taped side.  I added a little bit of glue to the right side of the ghosts and slipped them under the circle a bit to hold them in place and to hide the glue.

I cut pieces of Dimensionals and added them to the back of the bat's wings and I set them in place on the panel.

I was going to call the card one but one of those little stinkin' cute bats from the adhesive-backed "Bats, Ghosts & Dots" package.  I don't know which I like better, the cute bats or the adorable ghosts!  I think it's a tie!

This was a fun, very quick and super easy card to make. It's one of my favorite layouts/sketches.

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