It’s October and that means it’s time to be making Halloween cards like this Ghoulish Goodies Spooktacular Halloween Card. This is one of those cards that just came about as I worked on it. Sometimes you have to know when to stop and sometimes you have to know when to keep going until you get the card you want!

The card base is Basic Black with a Pumpkin Pie Cardstock layer. I stamped the tiny little pumpkin in the Ghoulish Goodies Stamp Set randomly on the Pumpkin Pie layer with Versamark Ink. Later I also stamped the “EEK” in the stamp set to fill in some more of the spaces.

I stamped the image of the witch, the cauldron and the black cat on Highland Heather Cardstock and die cut it with a die in the Stitched So Sweetly Dies. Then I layered this piece on another die cut piece from the same die set. The greeting is also in the stamp set and the die in the same die set.

The card was coming together but still needed some jazzing up! I chose the Blue Adhesive-Backed Gems to put on each end of the black layer. Even though these say “blue” they are sparkly and iridescent so they kind of look purple and I thought went okay on this card. I also added some of the yellowish Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels around the witch and the black cat.

And for a final touch, I just tied a knot in a small piece of the Black Glittered Organdy Ribbon. Sometimes you just have to keep working on a card and this was one of those!

Here’s another project I made using the Ghoulish Goodies Stamp Set for a Halloween treat. It’s a fun stamp set to have for making Halloween cards but also Halloween goodies and treats.
