Good Morning!
Another Halloween card for you today! I love how this one uses the Swirly Scribbles Thinlits along with the Spooky Fun stamp set and of course I love the spooky tree from the Halloween Scenes Edgelits Die too!
How To Make It:
Score the Whisper White card base at 5 ½” and fold in half.
Ink up the solid witch from the Spooky Fun stamp set with Archival Basic Black ink, stamp onto the Halloween Night Specialty Designer Series Paper, and cover with Clear Embossing Powder. Tap off excess powder and set using the Heat Tool on high making sure to move the heat tool to the next area as the powder melts. ⇒NOTE: if you overheat the embossing powder, it will eventually melt into the paper and will not give you the shine and raised texture of the image. Let it cool.
Adhere the Halloween Night Specialty Designer Series Paper to the Basic Gray cardstock piece; and add to the front of the cardbase.
Die cut the tree from the Basic Black cardstock piece using the Halloween Scenes Edgelits Die. Make sure to position the die close to the top edge so that your ground level has some height. Only add liquid glue to the ground portion of the die and add to the bottom of the matted layer on the card. ⇒NOTE: Not adding glue to the tree allows for it to pop up on its own and reflect a “spooky” shadow effect.
Tie some Pumpkin Pie/Basic Black Baker’s Twine around the tree and finish with a bow.
Die cut a Swirly Scribbles Thinlit from the Pumpkin Pie Glimmer Paper and center it around the embossed witch; adhering with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
Stamp the tombstones image from the Spooky Fun stamp set onto the Smokey Slate cardstock with Archival Basic Gray ink. Die cut with the coordinating framelit from the Halloween Scenes Edgelits Dies. Add to the tree with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Stamp the sentiment with Archival Basic Gray ink onto a scrap piece of Pumpkin Pie. Use Paper Snips to cut the sentiment into blocks and position onto the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Have a wonderful day!
Use as variety of paper strips and punch the ends with the Triple Banner Punch. Stamp a greeting and add ribbon for a quick, attractive card!
Create a ‘window’ on your Designer Series Paper using framelits or punches, then layer an image or greeting underneath. Try this template with several papers from the same collection and get a different look every time.
Why throw away scraps when they’re this pretty? Instead, use them up on this great card design. Use designs from one paper collection, or mix and match for more possibilities.
What I love about this card is that right now it's a Halloween card using the Halloween Night Designer Series Papers and the Jar of Haunts stamp set, but with a switch of the Designer Series Papers to say the Warmth & Cheer Designer Series Paper Stack or the Presents & Pinecones Designer Series Papers and using the Jar of Cheer stamp set instead, you would get a Christmas card! So easy to switch things up when you use these patterned papers!
