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

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a Halloween card to share with you that I found on Pinterest. You can see the original card here. I chose to make this card because of the ghost Designer Series Paper (DSP). I found it a design that for me was difficult to work with, so when I saw this card I thought I'd give it a try. You can see the original card by clicking here.  Please read on to see how the card was made.

The base of the card is a folded half-sheet of Pumpkin Pie 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. 

Now it's time to cut the layers. The large Basic Black layer measures 3-3/4" x 5". On top of that is a piece of DSP from the "Frightfully Fun" 12" x 12" package. It measures 3-1/2" x 4-3/4".  I taped the tow pieces together and then taped that to the front of the card. I centered it as much as I could by eyeing it. 

The strip was cut next. It measures 4-1/4" x 1-3/4" and it was taped to the center of the card. 

The smaller Basic Black layer was cut and it measured 2-3/4" x 3-3/4". On top of that is the ghost paper from the same package of DSP. It measures 2-1/2" x 3-3/4". I taped the two pieces together and then taped that to the front of the card, centering it as much as I could by eyeing it. 

The words are from the "Oh My Fright" bundle and were stamped using Basic Black ink on Pumpkin Pie card stock. I used a retired die to cut them out. It was from the "Banner Sayings" bundle. The words are still available but not the die cuts that went with them.  I set them in place using dimensionals.

Using the die from the "Oh My Fright" bundle I cut the ghost out from Basic White card stock. I set it in place using dimensionals.

I added a few bats from the "Bats, Ghosts and Dots" package, plus one dot over the "i" in trick and the cared was done.

This was a pretty easy card to make. It's got lots of layers, which is what I love and it used the ghost DSP that I had found difficult to work with!

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

  1. I have some Halloween papers that I find difficult to use, too. I may have to give your layout a try. It's definitely a great way to use some of it.
