I'm sharing today the one and only Halloween card I made. I love the holiday but I rarely do cards for it. But I wanted to use the cute Lawn Fawn set I picked up called Heebie Jeebies. One of my favorite crafting on-line stores, Two Peas in Bucket, runs a message board where people can sell the stuff they no longer want. It's totally random what you'll find there, but I've managed to pick up a couple of things from there that I cannot get in any store anymore. One of my favorite finds was a bundle of a couple of Lawn Fawn sets.
So I just stamped the spider web, spider and bat in Onyx Black Versafine and heat embossed them. Then I fussy cut them and colored in the spider with some Spectrum Noir pens. I then dug through some of my stash and found some cute Halloween paper in an old Fall Stack from DCWV. I cut both the mat and the background paper then layered them together and wrapped them with some Queen & Co. black and white baker's twine. I then adhered them to a black card base I found in my stash. Then I just added my stamped pieces with some pop dots to finish it off.
I decided to dress up the inside of this card too by matting my sentiment panel and adding the spider and bat from the outside to the inside along with the a sentiment stamp from the set. Too cute!
So here's the really fun part. I bought the We R Memory Keepers envelope punch board, but I haven't really gotten to play with it yet. I also picked up a new score board; it's the smaller, more portable version of my big Martha Stewart one. When I was packing it for our recent failed camping trip, I noticed that it had markings for making envelopes on the back. So I decided to play with those pieces when I was making this card. I started out with another sheet from that same DCWV Fall Stack and followed the instructions on the Martha Stewart board to make the envelope. It turned out pretty good. I decided it needed a liner so I used some scraps of paper from making the card to cut a liner using the punch board. It turned out pretty good for my first try.
