I was so thrilled with this Halloween Ghosts Boo Card after I made it! It’s all because of a creative idea I learned right before I signed up to be a Demonstrator. It was such an incredible idea I could hardly stand it! And I’ve been copying that idea ever since!
This Them Bones Designer Series Paper for Halloween has two sheets of this paper that have multiple panels on it that you can cut apart. One of them has the word “Boo” on the panel and that is what I used on this card. The background paper is also in the package, with a slight diagonal stripe. Behind the Boo panel, at the top and bottom, I added narrow pieces of the More Dazzle Specialty Paper. They are about 1/2″ wide. The card base is Basic Black.
This is how I made the ghosts, the focal part of the card. I punched out two hearts. That’s it! And then you cut the heart in half right up the middle. Then place the ghosts at an angle (or in this case, tucked under the Boo panel). Draw on some eyes, maybe a mouth if you want. So simple and isn’t it so creative?! I used a retired heart punch to make the ghosts. You probably have one or some heart dies, and if you don’t have one of those you can just cut out hearts like you did when you were a kid.
That’s how easy it is to make this card. If you don’t have the Boo panel to use, just adhere any paper you like and add a greeting from another stamp set or spell out Boo with an alphabet set you may have.
