Happy Haunting Halloween Graveyard Card

 Hello! Today I am sharing a happy haunting Halloween graveyard card with you.

However, I will earn a small commission when you click on my link and purchase from them. Thank you, and I appreciate your support!

I used a piece of patterned paper for the background, but you could easily recreate it by blending some green ink towards the bottom and going into black ink towards the top. Then using white cardstock, I die cut out a circle and ink blended using a blending brush, VersaFine Clair Cheerful ink, and a little black ink to give it a moon look. On the moon, I stamped the Crackerbox Stamps Bats Flying in Swarm onto it and then adhered the moon onto the background. Next, I stamped the Crackerbox Stamps Happy Haunting Drips in the top right corner with VersaFine Clair in Nocturne and heat embossed it with black embossing powder.


On a piece of white cardstock, I lightly sprayed it with gray, silver, and light blue color sprays to get a granite-like look. Then I stamped the Crackerbox Stamps Tombstone and the Crackerbox Stamps Barry M. Deep with VersaFine Clair in Nocturne, heat embossed it with black embossing powder, and fussy cut it out. Then adhered to the background with the moon. Next, I stamped the Crackerbox Stamps Hand Out Of Dirt and colored it with Copic Markers, and fussy cut it out. At the bottom of the tombstone, I colored some brown to look like dirt and adhered the hand over the dirt area. Under the hand itself, I used one small 3D foam square, so the hand popped up some.

Halloween Witch's Hat Fun Fold Tent Card

 Is it too early for Halloween cards? No way!! Today I am sharing a fun Halloween witch's hat fun fold tent fold card.

Some of the products I have used in this post have been provided to me by various companies. The opinions I share are solely my own. Affiliate links may be used where possible at no cost to you.

This was a fun card to make and not as hard to make as it may look. I first made my card base by cutting a black piece of cardstock at 4¼" x 11" and folding it in half. Then using green cardstock, I cut it at 10" x 4" and scored and folded it at 5¼" x 7⅝". Then I attached the 5¼" section of the green cardstock to half of the black cardstock piece.


On some white cardstock, I stamped the Crackerbox Stamps Witch's Boots and Crackerbox Stamps Spider Spooky and colored the boots and leggings with Copic Markers. Attached it to some spider web patterned paper and then attached it to the card base. On the front fold, I cut a piece of the patterned paper to fit it and then stamped the Crackerbox Stamps Somedays sentiment on white cardstock and cut it to fit into the middle of the front fold piece. Then I stamped the Crackerbox Stamps Witch's Hat, colored it with Copic Markers and fussy cut it out, and attached it to the top of the front fold.


When the card is folded up, it fits perfectly into an A2-size envelope.

I created my background by using a Visible Images Time Tunnel Stencil and a blending brush with some yellow inks. Then I stamped the Crackerbox Stamps You Should Always Crazy sentiment and also the Crackerbox Stamps Psycho Hyena Critter over the stenciled background. I then stamped the Psycho Hyena Critter again on a piece of white cardstock and colored him with Copic Markers.

Then fussy cut him out and adhered him over the image I stamped on the background. I did this so the little strands of hair on his head would show after I fussy cut him out. With a light gray Copic Marker, I added some shadows around his feet for some dimension.

Next, I stamped the Crackerbox Stamps Rafferty The Giraffe onto the white cardstock piece using the traced lines to guide where to stamp him. Around the giraffe image, I ink blended some green ink and colored the giraffe with Copic Markers. Then attached the giraffe piece to the back of the card front so the giraffe was looking through the square windows and attached the entire card front to a card base.
Then stamped the Crackerbox Stamps Immature Forever sentiment above the giraffe on the card front using green and black ink.
