Halloween Fun Card

I got my idea for this fun Halloween card from the 2016 Holiday Catalog.  But it isn’t a card in the catalog, it’s a treat bag!  This is an example of how you can take a picture from the catalog (or anywhere) and change it up slightly to make it your own.

Here is the photo from page 52 of the catalog:

Just a few simple changes and I have a great card to send to someone.  The base card is Basic Black and measures 4 1/4″ x 11″, scored at 5 1/2″ to make a vertical card.  The orange grid paper from Halloween Night Specialty DSP (page 51) is cut to 4′ x 4 1/2″.  The striped paper is 3/4″ x 4″ and the polka-dot banner is 4″ x 2 1/2″.  All three papers are from Halloween Night DSP.

I used the gray and black Baker’s Twine from the Halloween Night suite.  The scene was created with the Spooky Fun Stamp Set and Halloween Scenes Edgelits Dies.  They come in a bundle at a 10% discount!

More fun on the inside!  The sentiment in Old Olive and spider/web in Memento Tuxedo Black are just about as scary as I get on Halloween 🙂  Kind of light-weight spooky fun!

So be sure to use your catalog as a springboard for great ideas.  There are tons of creative ideas just ready for you to get started.
