Hi, Renee here today to share a few Halloween cards using the adorable Boo! collection. I love creating cards with fun scenes and the embellishments and stickers in the Boo! collection definitely helps me accomplish that. I think these cards would be fun to give to family, friends, or teachers to wish them a Happy Halloween.
I started by picking out some cardstock colors that went well with this collection to use as the base for my cards.
I trimmed and folded them into 5″ x 7″ cards.
Happy Halloween Card
I cut a piece of the cute Washi Paper Tape and decided to leave the washi tapes on the sheet…
…add a bit of Sticky Thumb adhesive and machine stitching around the card.
I finished off the card with some pumpkins and “Trick or Treat” sentiment stickers.
Trick or Treat Card
I trimmed the Confetti pattern paper, adhered, and machine stitched it to my card base.
I trimmed a 3/4″ x 6 3/4″ strip of the Hocus Pocus pattern paper, added some color mist to it, fringed it a bit to look like grass, and added it with Dimensional Dots to the card.
I added a spooky tree, haunted house, bats, and “Trick or Treat” banner flag Die-Cut Shapes to the card. I love the glitter glue in the windows of the house for a glowing effect.
Eeeeek! Card
I started by tracing the spider web Die-Cut Shape on the front of the card. I used a craft knife to cut along the trace marks and used the cut hole as a template to cut the same shape on the Spiderwebs pattern paper.
I lined up the paper hole with the card hole, trimmed around the card, and adhered the background paper to the card.
I added Sticky Thumb Liquid Glue to the outer edge of the spider web…
…and adhered it to the card. I also added machine stitching around the card.
After adding a few spiders and an “EEEEEEEK!” banner flag, I stamped “Happy Halloween!” on the inside of the card making sure to see it a bit through the spider webs.
Spooky Card
I trimmed the Spooky pattern paper for my background…
…and trimmed pieces of the Hocus Pocus pattern paper to create layers of grass. I added color mist again to all the cut pieces of grass.
I love the dimension on this card!
I love the cemetery scene with the grave stones and Mr. Bones, the skeleton, Die-Cut Shapes waving hello. Super cute! I added the “Spooky” Sticker for a final touch.
Hope you enjoyed these Happy Halloween cards. Happy card making!
