Today I'm showing you a couple of Halloween cards you can make yourself by following these step-by-step directions, including photos. Our designers work very hard to make these cards just for you every month! Take a look in the October Gallery for even more! So, get your kit out and get ready to create a few cards in just minutes.
Card by Kay:
1. Adhere a solid cardstock piece onto the white card base. Adhere orange pattern paper at the bottom of the card. Layer the multi color stripe paper at the top edge of the orange paper. Then, adhere the decorative "diamond" paper across the center of the multi color stripe pattern paper. Place your cut out costume character paper just above the multi stripe paper.
2. Position "Happy Halloween" rub on at the top of your card.
3. Punch out a 1 1/2 circle of the black and white polka dot paper. Crumple the circle so that it looks wrinkled. Tie the twine onto your button and trim the ends.
4. Adhere the button onto the wrinkled polka dot circle then adhere the whole piece to the left side of the card on top of the "diamond" paper strip.
