Make Two Spooky Cards for Halloween

Double the card inspiration to kick off our Midnight Mischief Release.

Our newest fall release “Midnight Mischief” has dropped and we know you’re going to love it. Marla is up on our blog today and she has two cards to share with you. If you’re looking through all of our amazing Halloween products, you will find two spooky sets of houses. The most recent, featured on this card is 5722-05D Spooky Town Scape die set.

Marla’s second card features our larger 5216-05D Spooky House die. We hope these two cards add a little size perspective to our spooky houses and will help you decide which style will work best for your Halloween cardmaking adventures. Let’s jump into the tutorial.

• Cut a piece of white cardstock to 4.25″ x 5.5″.
• Using our 4203 Bats and Tree Stencil and gray ink, stencil the moon on the top third of the panel.
• Ink around the moon using ink from our purple ink set and a touch of dark gray around the outside edges.
• Cut a piece of pattern paper to fit the bottom 2/3’s of the panel from our “Midnight Mischief” paper pad.
• Using another solid cardstock from the “Midnight Mischief” paper pad, cut a 1.5″ x 4.25″ piece of cardstock and run horizontally through a paper crimper.
• Cut a piece of solid cardstock to 1/4″ x 4.25″ and adhere to the crimped paper.
• Adhere the two panels to the stenciled cardstock.

• Using colored cardstock cut out the elements using our new 5722-05D Spooky Town Scape die set.
• Assemble the houses.
• Cut the Happy Halloween sentiment three time using our 5842-02D Halloween Greeting Dies.
• Adhere all three layers of the sentiment and attach to the 1/4″ strip on the panel.
• Assemble your spooky town scene to complete the card.

• Cut a white piece of mixed media cardstock to 4.25″ x 5.5″.
• Ink the panel using colors of your choice. Marla used Distressed Mica Spray stain for her background.
• After the panel has dried, use the 4202 Jack O’Lantern Stencil and pearlized texture paste to add the pattern to the background.
• Cut the 5733D Spider Web Cover Die twice and adhere together.
• Adhere the cover die to the stained and stenciled background.
