Hmm, what to say about this card? It's Halloween, which I love. It uses the Top Note Sizzix Die, which I love and also uses the awesome 1 1/4" Striped Grosgrain Ribbon, which I love. So . . . I'm loving this card and it is simple to make. I know because I had first time stampers make this card at a recent workshop I conducted near here in Cedar Park.
Want to give it a try?
Here's what you'll need:
Stamps: House of Haunts and Sanded
Inks: Basic Black, Pumpkin Pie, Old Olive and Summer Sun Classic Inks
Paper: Whisper White, Basic Black and Pumpkin Pie Cardstock
Other: Stampin' Dimensionals, Aqua Painter, 1 1/4" Old Olive Striped Grosgrain Ribbon, Sizzix Big Shot with Top Note Die, 2 Stampin' Sponges and Stamp-a-ma-jig (optional)
1. Begin by cutting the following pieces.
- Whisper White Card 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" and a Top Note
- Pumpkin Pie Card Front 5 1/2" x 4 1/4"
- Basic Black 2 1/4" x 5 1/2"
- 7" length of 1 1/4" Old Olive Striped Grosgrain Ribbon
2. Stamp the Sanded Background stamp onto the Pumpkin Pie CS using Pumpkin Pie Classic Ink. Then sponge the edges using more Pumpkin Pie Classic Ink.
3. Adhere the Basic Black strip of cardstock onto the Pumpkin Pie Card Front about 3/4" up from the bottom.
4. Adhere the Old Olive Striped Ribbon over the Basic Black CS and adhere the ends to the back of the card front.
5. Stamp the haunted house and Happy Halloween onto the Whisper White Top Note using Basic Black Classic Ink.
6. Using the squeeze technique with an Aqua Painter, first color Summer Sun Classic Ink onto the top portion of the moon, windows and doors. Then repeat the technique with Pumpkin Pie Classic Ink on the lower portion of the moon, windows and door, blending the two colors where they meet.
7. Sponge Old Olive Classic Ink on the edges of the Top Note and adhere over the ribbon using Stampin' Dimensionals.
8. Adhere finished card front to Whisper White Card Base.
