This Cutest Halloween Ghosts Card is one that I like to make with some basic stamping, a bit of designer paper, and some ribbon for embellishment. Sometimes we make such fancy cards that we miss out on just stamping randomly to design a card. To celebrate October 1st, I thought a Halloween card was in order! I can’t believe it is October! What happened to August and September? I feel like September just started.
The card base is, of course, Pumpkin Pie Cardstock with a layer of Basic Black. I knew I would use Basic White Cardstock for the card front on which to stamp ghosts, but I also added a striped piece of the Cute Halloween 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper, which has the cutest Halloween papers in it!
Before I assembled the card, I stamped some ghosts on the Basic White Cardstock. The ghosts are in the Cutest Halloween Stamp Set. They are stamped with Memento Ink. There is the ghost outline stamp and then a little face and arms. To make some of the ghosts look different, I stamped two eyes with one little round stamp in the set on three of the ghosts! You could just draw in some dots for eyes or draw another kind of face if you wanted.
Luckily, there was just the right space and the right place to stamp the “Hey, Boo!” greeting, also in the Cutest Halloween Stamp Set. Otherwise, I would have made a little label to stamp it on and place possibly covering up part of a ghost or making it more like a tag up by the bow. I wrapped some Black 3/8″ Glittered Organdy Ribbon around the strip of designer paper and then tied a separate bow, which I then adhered with two Mini Glue Dots.
Here’s another Halloween card with randomly stamped ghosts on the front that I made four years ago!
You could even modify this idea to make an invitation to a Halloween party! Or decorate a little bag for a gift or party favor with these cute stamped ghosts!
It’s time to start making some Halloween cards to send for fun! Tomorrow the post office is supposed to slow down the mail (what??!) so make your cards soon and mail them extra early! With a little bit of luck, maybe they will arrive by Halloween! You’ll have fun making a Cutest Halloween Ghosts Card like this one!
