Halloween Theme Week- Day 1

Hello, Gemma here today to share a card for the Halloween Theme Week here on the blog. My card features some great products from the September release – Halloween Pals and Fall Tags.

As an early Halloween treat during theme week, we’re having a 15% sale on all items in the Halloween category. No coupon necessary. 

I began by working on the background. I cut a piece of dark grey card, then used the jack o’lantern face die from the Fall Tags set to die cut some faces from it.

On a card base, I layered some orange patterned paper, leaving a thin white border. I heat embossed in silver the sentiment and some stars from the Halloween Pals stamp set onto the grey card panel. Then I used lots of foam tape to adhere it over the top of the orange background. This thin layer of foam helps to create some fun shadows from the die cut faces.

Next, I stamped some images from Halloween Pals, and used copics to colour them in. After die cutting them out with the coordinating dies, I used paper piecing to add some patterned paper details to their outfits, bringing everything together in the design. To do this technique, stamp the portion of the image you want onto patterned paper, then fussy cut them out. Go around the edges with a black pen, to get rid of any white edges from the fussy cutting, then adhere them on your die cut images.

I added the pumpkins and critters to my card to finish this fun Halloween project.

I hope you enjoyed! Join us tomorrow for another day of cute Halloween inspiration! 😊
