Words For the Season Spooktacular Halloween Card

Greetings! 

Today's card features the Branching Out, Words for the Season and Choose Happy stamp sets, and Sign Design Punch for the tombstone.  I wanted to show a way to create a Halloween card without having a Halloween specific stamp set.

Techniques include masking and multiple coloring techniques.

Gather Your Supplies:

  • Words For the Season stamp set
  • Branching Out stamp set
  • Choose Happy stamp set
  • Smoky Slate cardstock 
    • card base 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 scored & folded at 4-1/4
    • 2-1/4 square for tombstone
  • Basic Gray cardstock
    • 5 x 3-3/4 panel
  • Timid Tiger cardstock
    • scrap for pumpkin
  • Splendid Autumn Designer Series Paper (DSP)
    • 4-3/4 x 3-1/2 Old Olive drybrush print
  • Basic Gray Classic Stampin' Pad
  • Early Espresso Classic Stampin' Pad
  • Old Olive Classic Stampin' Pad
  • Craft White Ink Pad
  • Old Olive Stampin' Blends
  • Sign Design punch 
  • 1-3/4 circle punch
  • Blending Brush
  • Paper Trimmer
  • 3" square or larger sticky note (non Stampin' Up! product) 
=============================================================
Here's How It's Made:

Punch 1-3/4 circle in center of sticky note.  Place sticky note onto DSP with opening where you want your moon.  Ink blending brush with Craft White ink, brush onto opening using circular motions. Carefully remove sticky note and allow ink to dry. When ink is dry, ink large branch with Early Espresso and stamp so branch is coming in and up from right edge of DSP, with part of branches over the moon.


Trim one edge of Smoky Slate piece just slightly so it fits inside punch opening, slide into curved part ONLY of Sign Design punch, punch.


Lightly brush Craft White ink around sides and top of tombstone for subtle shading.  Ink sentiment and stamp in upper part of tombstone.  Ink pumpkin stamp with Old Olive, stamp onto Timid Tiger cardstock, fussy cut out pumpkin, fill in stem with Old Olive Stampin' Blend.  Ink Jack-o-lantern face with Basic Gray, stamp in center of pumpkin.


Adhere Basic Gray panel to folded card front, adhere DSP panel onto Basic Gray.  Adhere tombstone at lower left corner of DSP panel, adhere pumpkin to lower right of tombstone.  Ink "Boo" and stamp to right of pumpkin.
