THREE SIMPLE HALLOWEEN CARDS

The paper with the "characters" on it was a sheet of designs but I just could see making card fronts with the 12 x 12.  I used circle punches to get at the designs and "chopped up" the two sheets with circle punches and then salvaged the leftover designs by cutting into rectangles.

There are 50 cards using these papers.

BEGINNING HALLOWEEN CARDS

This is the beginning of the Halloween cards that I have made for the care centers.  I have officially finished 150 cards to share with three centers.  Cards that will be mailed to others will have to be finished later.

COLLECTION OF CARDS USING "EMMA" DSP

USING TEXTURED TAPE STRIPS

 Using these textured tape strips was different than just using dsp scraps all of the same width.  This gave a different dimension to the card front.

This is just a simplified version of the card I made for our granddaughter.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO OUR GRANDDAUTER, EMMA!

This is the third August birthday card for a granddaughter........August 9, 17 and 19!  They keep Grandma busy!

I'm sure I made a card for Emma one other time using this paper............the name of the paper is "Emma" so why would I use anything else?  On the white section, I created a pocket by adding part of a circle die cut.  I'm sure you know what goes into that "pocket"!

UNSUCCESSFUL TRY!

 

The layout for this  card is from a video that I watched.  The flowered piece is die cut and then cut in 5 strips. The 2nd and 4th strip are raised on dimensionals.  I can't remember what the technique is called but I had never done it before.  

I have a set of arch dies but they are not from Stampin' UP! so the size of them is slightly different.  I had to do some maniputating on the width of the strips but managed to get it done.  She also used the smallest two dies for the sentiment.  

I liked the card she made.   I chose the colors of card stock that were in the dsp but am not at all happy with my own.  Not sure I'll be doing another one!
