The Pile of Skulls Have Eyes | HUGE Halloween Sale | Halloween Card

 

Happy Saturday y'all.  Design Team Member Michael here with another Halloween card.  This is such an easy card to make.  Waiting for the googly eyes to dry is the hardest part.  And they are optional.  Don't like em?  Don't use em!

If you want to make this card, this is what I did:

• I made a top folding A2 card base using black cardstock.
• I went through my stash of Halloween papers until I found one that I felt paired well with my stamped image.  I die-cut a part of it using a 4.25" x 5.5" stitched rectangle die from Pink & Main and then I adhered it to my card front.  
• I stamped Pile of Skulls on white cardstock, die-cut it using a 3.75" x 5" stitched rectangle die from Pink & Main, and adhered a piece of black fun foam to the back, and then to the card front.   
• Then I adhered small googly eyes to each of the skulls. 
• Lastly, I die-cut a piece of white cardstock using a 4" x 5.25" stitched rectangle die, stamped Wicked Halloween in the center, and then adhered this to the inside of my card. 

Done!  

If you are interested, I have a more detailed step-by-step with photos on my personal blog post HERE.

Inside of card:

On the front I used The Halloween Scene set of 12 , Spidery Halloween, and to the right side of the front I used part of the background stamp Pile of Skulls , plus a couple of googly 

eyes 👀 .  Michael, those are for you!

On the inside I used There are no skeletons in my closet (make sure you read the small print. It’s funny!) and the recently released Halloween Swoosh!

This card is self-explanatory, but I’d like to pass on a few tips.

*  To make the house appear more dimensional I stamped and cut out a 2nd house, added foam dimensions behind it, then slightly offset it on top of the originally stamped house.  I used a yellow highlighter in the windows for that glowing look, and a light gray Tombow marker around the window frames. I also used the gray around the house (the one stamped on the card base) and on the skulls.  

You could leave the background behind the house, bats, & sentiment white, but I decided to use prisma colored pencils to shade it a little.  I alternated light blue, yellow, and orange. 

The Halloween Scene set of 12, Spidery Halloween, and Pile of skulls are the stamps used on the front.

The inside stamps:  There are no skeletons in my closet and Halloween swoosh!

Most Halloween stamps can be found here.
