The inspiration challenge at TGIF Challenges this week is Halloween. I know I've told you this before, but my two-year-old grandson Easton is all into Halloween this year. He says "Spooky, scary Halloween". We have gotten lots Facetime calls because Easton wants to show his new ghost or new pumpkin or spider decorations to Grandma and Grandpa. The last call was all about his Mickey Mouse Halloween pajamas. So my projects today are all for Easton. I thought I'd have a little fun creating a trio of note cards (Basic White note cards & envelopes, #159232) to mail at intervals to Easton leading up to Trick or Treat day:
These are all just quick, simple cards using the Cute Halloween Suite (#156279). The suite includes the Cutest Halloween stamp set (#156480), the Halloween Punch (#156482), Tombstone Treat Boxes (#156486, not used today), Cute Stars Adhesive-Backed Sequins (#156484), Black & White 1/4" gingham ribbon (#156485) and Cute Halloween designer series paper (#156479).
Here are close-ups, shown from easiest to easy!
This one is just a line of skeleton heads with two different faces and a greeting all stamped on the note card front in Blackberry Bliss. There is a swipe of the Blackberry Bliss ink pad across the top fold of the card (to cover up some random Blackberry Bliss ink caused when I tied on a piece of Blackberry Bliss inked up baker's twine before it dried--but don't tell anyone). I tied a piece of uncolored white baker's twine over the ink swipe. Easton and I played hide and seek with "Skeleton Man" when I visited in September.
The ghost was punched out of and the cute little bat was fussy cut from the designer series paper then mounted right on the note card with Stampin' Dimensionals. The greeting was stamped in Highland Heather.
The pumpkin and spiders were stamped in a grouping onto Basic White card stock, fussy cut and adhered to the layered Pumpkin Pie card stock and dotted pattern designer series paper. The greeting was stamped in Jet Black StazOn ink onto another pattern of paper then die cut using a Tasteful Labels die (#152886). Easton's favorite decorations are the pumpkins and giant spiders on the front porch.
