Embossed Halloween Card

Today I thought I’d share with you a very easy and fun Halloween card. I’ve mentioned before in posts that I don’t give Halloween cards, but I do love to make them along with all sorts of other fun Halloween treats.  In the next few weeks I will be sharing some non-card Halloween projects with you.

You can watch a video on how I made the card below:

Directions:

1. Run your embossing buddy over a 2″ x 2-3/4″ piece of Whisper White CS.
2. Stamp the tree image from Stampin’ Up!’s House of Haunts stamp set in Basic Black CRAFT ink, onto the Whisper White CS.  
3. Sprinkle on Black embossing powder and heat emboss with your heat tool.
4. Sponge the edges of the Whisper White CS with Elegant Eggplant Classic ink and a wedge of stamping sponge.
5. Mat the Whisper White CS piece onto a 2-1/8″ x 2-7/8″ piece of Elegant Eggplant CS.
6. Lay a 6″ piece of 1/4″ Elegant Eggplant Grosgrain ribbon across the 4-1/4″ edge of a 3-1/2″ x 4-1/4″ piece of Cast-a-Spell DP. Bring the ends of the ribbon around to the back of the DP and stick down with Snail adhesive.
7. Center and stick the DP along the top edge of a 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″ Old Olive card.  Position the greeting onto the card front but do not stick down yet.  Use it to help determine the placement of your greeting.
8. Stamp the greeting from the Grateful Greetings stamp set in Basic Black Classic ink onto your card front.
9. Stick the image piece to your card front, above the greeting.
10. Pierce three holes to the left of the image piece, below the edge of the DP with a paper-piercing tool and foam mat.
11. Insert three black vintage brads.  You’re done!

I hope you enjoyed this card.
