It was a busy weekend, but I felt like making a fun Halloween card and this Scary Cute Halloween Happiness Card came about! Only two weeks left in September if you can believe that! Halloween will be here before we know it! I like the look of this little girl out trick-or-treating and the greeting “Halloween Happiness” because happiness for kids in the fall is dressing up and going out trick-or-treating and filling their bags with candy and treats!
The card base is Orchid Oasis (but the Parakeet Party green for the background for the photo makes it look like that might be good for the card base with a LAYER of Orchid Oasis! The Orchid Oasis has a layer of Pumpkin Pie and a strip of the dark star pattern in the Black & White Designs Designer Series Paper. I added three rows of three colors in the Glitter Washi Tape Pack across the designer paper. Love the Glitter Washi Tape! There are four colors in the pack you can choose from or use all of them! Perfect for Halloween or really any festive occasion!
The Scary Cute Stamp Set and the Scary Silhouettes Dies come together in a Bundle which saves 10% if you want both. The stamp set is cute in itself, but with this set I think you will also want the dies as they are so different and fun for Halloween! You get the interesting frame with the tree branches, bats, a black cat, and a seemingly haunted house! The stamp set has cute silhouettes of several different trick or treaters and fun sentiments for Halloween cards and projects!
I die cut the frame out of Basic Black and the background out of Parakeet Party. I just glued the frame over the background and stamped the girl on the background. I did use my Stamparatus to get a good stamped image over three times, maybe I needed to reink my ink pad better! If you ever have an image that doesn’t stamp as well as you would like, you often can use a marker or reinker to lightly fill in the areas that didn’t stamp well. I also stamped the Halloween greeting in the lower corner of the card. The bats are adhered at the top of the card. For a little more sparkle besides the washi tape, I added some yellow Glossy Dots in Daffodil Delight.
We’re about to embark on the fun part of the year for crafters and papercrafters with all the holidays coming up! Start early and enjoy the process. Make some Halloween or fall cards to send to friends and family and surprise them when they find “real mail” in their mailbox! Here is another fun card I made with the Scary Cute Bundle but just blended some colors in the background, stamped the figures in black, and added die cut bats and the haunted house!
You’ll find the Scary Cute Bundle in the Holiday Mini Catalog so use this Scary Cute Halloween Happiness Card as an example of what you can make with it!
