Today I have two more projects for you – both with coordinating envelopes. It has been so much fun creating my own Halloween projects. Pinterest is awesome and I love getting inspiration from other crafters’ blogs, but there is something very satisfying about coming up with the idea yourself and watching it take shape below your fingertips. 🙂 Click the following link to check out the projects from 3 Days of Halloween – Day 1.
This first project showcases the mini treat bag thinlits dies, available in the Annual Catalog. I love tying in “old” product from the Annual Catalog with new product from the Holiday catalog. I heat embossed “happy halloween!” from the Spooky Fun stamp set and then die cut it with the banner diecut from the Mini Treat Bag Thinlits die set. I added a vellum rectangle behind it for a little extra interest. A few enamel dots and the mini treat bag was complete!
The Halloween Night Specialty DSP is so bold on the mini treat bag that I decided to keep it simple on the card insert. I think the spooky tree is plenty of interest. The tree edgelit might be my absolute favorite part of all of the Halloween products. The card insert measures 3 1/2 x 5″.
Supplies for this card: Halloween Night Specialty Designer Series Paper, Spooky Fun Stamp Set, Halloween Scenes Edglits Dies, Halloween Night Enamel Dots, Big Shot Die Cut Machine, Whisper White Cardstock, Basic Black Cardstock, Vellum Cardstock, Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Write Marker, Heat Tool, Versamark Ink, Whisper White Stampin’ Emboss Powder, Mini Treat Bag Thinlits Dies, Basic Grey Classic Stampin’ Pad (for gravestones image), Memento Tuxedo Black Ink Pad (for witch image), & Stampin’ Trimmer.
I really do love the Halloween Night Designer Washi Tape. I just had to make it the focal point of one of my Halloween projects for my 3 Days of Halloween blog posts. There is a 5th design (black background with Pumpkin Pie, Perfect Plum, and Old Olive dots) that I didn’t use on this card. It is also great! Check it out here.
I have been on a washi tape card kick for awhile. I love running the sentiment parallel with the washi tape, as I did on this card. I also love covering the envelope flap with washi tape to coordinate it with the card.
You might not notice at first glance, but the bats are actually stamped upside down. Oops! I didn’t notice on the first one and then I figured I had to make the second bat the same or my mistake would really stand out. 🙂 I finished off the card with a few Halloween Night Enamel Dots. Perfect touch!
Supplies for this card: Spooky Fun Stamp Set, Halloween Night Designer Washi Tape, Halloween Night Enamel Dots, Whisper White Thick Cardstock, Perfect Plum Classic Stampin’ Pad, Memento Tuxedo Black Ink Pad, Whisper White Medium Envelopes, Paper Snips, & Stampin’ Trimmer.
