A Quick and Easy Halloween Card With Ghosts

Halloween Card With Ghosts

Want to make a quick and easy Halloween card with ghosts?  I can show you how! In fact, a card like this one is partially responsible for me becoming a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator!  I was visiting my friend who was a Demonstrator and she took me along to a team meeting. There was a card on a display board with a ghost or two.  When I found out the ghost was made by cutting a heart in half I was just thrilled with how creative people could be with this thing called stamping! I was so inspired by all the creativity I saw at the meeting plus everything my friend had at her house!  I think I signed up while I was visiting her that weekend!

When I made another Halloween card in THIS POST with this new paper coming in the Holiday Catalog September 5th, Toil & Trouble, I remembered the idea of making ghosts out of hearts!  Just punch out, die cut, or hand cut out a heart of whatever size you want.  Then cut the heart in half!  That’s all there is to it!  Draw on some eyes with a marker. Adhere it to the side of the card layout!  Sometimes it doesn’t take much to thrill me to pieces!

This card starts with a Basic Black card base with a layer of Granny Apple Green Cardstock.  I let that have a wider margin than usual and cut a smaller piece of Highland Heather Cardstock for another layer.  Then I added the ghost patterned paper in the Toil & Trouble Designer Series Paper for the background layer. The half-hearts/ghosts were adhered to the card on the sides.  The greeting is from the Trick or Tweet Stamp Set in the Holiday Catalog.

This Toil & Trouble paper makes Halloween cardmaking so much fun!  Especially when you can cut a heart in half and make a ghost poking out from a spooky place!  You, too, can make a quick and easy Halloween card with ghosts!
