Looking for the perfect Halloween Background Die? This web is the best background for all of your spooky card creations!
Today’s fun Halloween card is from our designer, Julie, who couldn’t wait to get her hands on our new Web Background Die and Coordinating Spider. These dies really do make Halloween card-making a breeze with their simplistic design and ability to be creative all on their own. Follow along as Julie shows off how to make a trick or treat web card for the season.
How to make this card:
- For my spooky spider card, I die cut the spider web, parts of the spider & the shadow of the word die out of black.
- The web is a cover die & I wanted it a bit smaller so I used the 2 largest rectangle dies to cut a narrow black frame, attached it over the web & trimmed off the excess.
- Then I looked around to see what background I had to go under it. I found this really bright scraped acrylic paint background I made ages ago. I tried, but I just couldn’t get the camera to get the colors exactly right. It’s a much brighter, orangey/yellow neon color in real life
- The words of the greeting were also die cut out of this background.
- The background is really easy..just drop some big dots of acrylic paint on plain card stock, near one edge, then take an old credit card or similar tool & scrape the paint across the the rest of the paper. Don’t try to blend it & be aware of the colors you’re using so you don’t make mud.
The way Julie colored up that background was so simple and really made for a great backdrop for the large web die. Cards like this can be made in a flash for a quickly needed occasion.
