While not really the time of year you might think of to send cards to people, Halloween can be a great excuse to whip up some fun cards! I’ve picked up a decent collection of Halloween stamps over time, plus some fun stickers and embellishments. I decided to have some fun and get crafty with a tri-fold card!

Time to Get Crafty with Cards!

Halloween Card

Materials

Cardstock

Embossing powder

Heat tool

Large Swirls stamp

Versamark Inkpad

Halloween kitty Digital stamp

Cauldron digital stamp

Halloween spider stamp

Colored pencils

Halloween stickers

Watercolors

Spellbinders Nestabilities Labels 12

A lot of work went into this one. I actually adhered two pieces of cardstock to each other – orange for the outside and beige for the inside. I used a large swirls stamp and black Versamark ink to create the swirly design, and followed it up with heated clear embossing powder for the glossy finish. I like the Versamark fine ink because it does such a great job on detailed stamps.

Spellbinders Nestabilities dies were perfect to make my “windows”. I just picked two dies directly nested so one window was larger than the other.

The row of potions about the window on the stone shelf were cut from a stickers strip, and the bat is a sticker as well. I also ran black ink along the edges of the “windows”.

The kitty and cauldron are digital stamps – I found the kitty here at the Graphics Fairy, and the Cauldron here. I merged the two so the kitty appears to be sitting in the cauldron, and drew the water lines. I also used a technique called “paper piecing” where I printed the images out on different papers and adhered them all together. That’s why the kitty has such a fancy hat, lol.

The stone walls of the dungeon he’s in were just hand drawn on and inked. I also drew the little bench and the broom, and used colored pencils and watercolors to finish the look. The Halloween sentiment and spider were stamps.
