World Card Making Day

Hello there! In honor of world card making day, I spent a few hours in my studio playing with paper and ink 🙂

I chose a Halloween theme as it is the season for it and this witch’s hat makes me think of my favorite halloween movie – Hocus Pocus!

Measurements:

  • Lemongrass Card Base 4 1/4″ x 11″ scored at 5 1/2″
  • Black Licorice Layer 4″ x 5 1/4″
  • Whip Cream Layer 3 3/4″ x 5″
  • Pattern Paper Layer 3 3/4″ x 2″
  • Black Licorice Layer 3″ x 2″

Details:

  • Do you just LOVE this striped pattern paper? It just screams witchy-poo! This darling pattern is just one of many in the Fall-O-Ween Pattern Paper Pack from Fun Stampers Journey. I am so thrilled with their brilliant idea to combine Halloween and Fall into ONE paper pack – genius, right? I used another pattern on my last post…click here to see!
  • I ran a 3″ x 2″ piece of Black Licorice card stock through the die cutting machine together with the Tiny Dots embossing folder (which you can get for FREE with any $75 purchase!) and mounted it on to the pattern paper.
  • Next up is a Lemongrass scalloped circle which was cut using the Journey Scallops dies and a Whip Cream stitched circle, die cut using the Circle Around dies. A fun fact: The Circle Around dies have one die to add the stitching and another to cut the circle – how cool is that? You can stitch a circle right onto your card without cutting it out! (love button!)

  • The darling witch hat and sentiment are from the Bad Witch ATS set and happens to have coordinating dies which (which witch? lol) you can purchase separately or in a bundle to save 10%. The best part of ATS sets is that they are small and specific so you don’t need to spend a fortune on stamps you will use just once a year – $17.00 will get you both stamps and dies!!
  • I added a little banner from the striped paper to keep to the sketch I am using for this card. My FSJ team FB page has a weekly challenge with the chance to win a free stamp set – wish me luck!

  • Last but not least, the inside of the card 🙂 I used the sentiment from another ATS set called Happy Pumpkin. It’s just toooo cute!
