Trick or Treat!!!
Today I'm excited to share the Cutest Stampin' Up! Halloween Card ever, and a great MUMMY tip!! 🙂
When I stamped with my friend Cindee a couple weeks ago, I brought the "fixins" for this card and we both made it.. it's SOOOO cute and super easy with the Halloween Scenes Edgelit dies for the tree and fence, and the Cookie Cutter Halloween guys for the rest of the card!
Patty's Halloween Card Tips:
- Little Dracula: be sure your black pad is well inked for this image.. I used my Archival Black ink pad and then colored in the vest and shirt with Stampin' Write markers
- Mummy: see my tip below for adding subtle coloring/shading to the mummy using the "wash" stamp from the Perpetual Birthday set
- Fence: the fence die cut is not quite long enough to go across a 5-1/4" card, so I matched it up in the big shot and cut it twice
- Moon: sponge some Calypso Coral, or Pumpkin Pie ink onto Daffodil Delight yellow cardstock then punch with your circle punch for a perfect moon!
- Punch them! Never fear.. you don't need to fussy cut the cute little characters.. just use the Cookie Cutter Builder punch found on page 6 of the 2016 Stampin' UP! Holiday Catalog.
Always stamp first, then turn your punch over and punch out your image for perfect placement!
Tip to make your fence longer for a wider card:

What a cute, cute card. I’m really in love with the cookie cutter series and have them on my wish list. Sorry, I live in Canada.
Super cute card, Patty! And, what a great tip for coloring the mummy! TFS
