This Spooky Ghosts Halloween Card winds up the Halloween season here on my blog! Are you taking kids out for trick-or-treating tonight or are you staying home and handing out candy to the trick-or-treaters? I love being home and giving out candy, especially to the itty bitty trick-or-treaters. We used to have a LOT of kids come to our house after the little neighborhood carnival down the street years ago, but now we have half or less that we used to have as our neighborhood has gotten older.

This card has a Pumpkin Pie cardstock card base with a layer of the orange dotted patterned paper in the Halloween Spells Designer Series Paper. I cut a strip of the striped pattern in the package to make sort of a wall on the left side of the card. And at the bottom, I cut out some of the Potions & Spells books, also printed in the Halloween Spells DSP.

Then came my favorite part….making ghosts! I learned this from a Demonstrator group meeting I attended with my friend who would become my upline when I signed up. I thought it was so creative! Use a heart punch, heart die, or simply cut out a heart by hand. Then cut it in half! You have two ghosts! Of course, with the flat edge, you have to put them so they are peeking out from somewhere. I put some faces on mine with a Basic Black Stampin’ Write Marker. For the third ghost, I just cut off part of the bottom of the heart so it looks like just his head is poking out from behind the stack of books! The little sentiments are stickers from the Halloween Memories Scrapbooking Workshop Kit. They fit in there perfectly.

I’m sorry that Halloween will be over after today. I think the decorations I have for the house, cards, and Halloween things I can make are so much fun. The Halloween colors are great, too, to work with! But now it’s on to the next holiday!

Have a safe and fun Halloween today and tonight!
