Too Cute

Posted on September 15, 2023 10:37 PM by Julie Comment

A clean, simple Halloween card w/ cute little Jack-O’Lanterns & a pierced herringbone patterned background. Easy to make w/ the matching dies & easy to customize by changing the colors or background.

For the Inspiration Challenge (IC928) we are visiting the Botanica Provincetown Pinterest Board where I found THIS cute notepad. I liked the little critters at the bottom w/ the lines above.
To start, I die cut the large white background w/ a stitched rectangle, then cut it again w/ the cover die that looks like a herringbone pattern. After coloring & die cutting the little pumpkins, I popped up the center 3 group just a bit & attached them all at the bottom. I colored a small background to go around the tag greeting & added the little bat.
Couldn’t be easier! Here are the Copics I used:

Halloween Greetings

A stenciled & die cut mini slimline Halloween card. Easy to make & change up the colors or use a colored designer paper for the background. So many ways to customize the look.

A big congrats to Dbamesburg, the newest Featured Stamper (FS866)! She has a sweet little gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the 1 layer style & left side arrangement but used different images, colors & made mine a Halloween theme instead of Christmas.

My mini slimline card started w/ a yellow/orange/purple background I made ages ago. It was done by spreading Marvy metallic markers onto a brayer, spritzing w/ water then rolling it across the white card stock. The colors seemed very Halloweeny to me, so I used the stencil & azure ink to sponge in the tree & background bats. For the moon, I sponged the stencil w/ 2 yellow inks onto a small piece of white, die cut it w/ circle die & attached it on top. I used another stencil to add the grass across the bottom to ground it.

A few die cut purple bats were added on top as well as the tombstone & hand. A small piece of purple die cut grass was added across the bottom of the tombstone. I positioned the greeting tag so it would appear the hand was holding it.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

For the Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge (IC881) we’re visiting Party City & their Pinterest Boards where I found THIS picture.

For my Halloween mini slimline card, I started by die cut the Halloween paper w/ a mini slimline die.The white topper was die cut w/ a smaller die & I also used a 3 circle die on the top which just happened to line up w/ the pumpkins in the paper. I used several Halloween dies..the witch’s hat, cauldron & broom, along w/ the jack o lanterns, bats, the owl & spooky tree, and finally the drippy border and arranged them all on top.
