Paper Crafts Idea: DIY Halloween Card (Frightful Wreath Stampin' Up!)

Happy Monday and welcome to this DIY Halloween Card Paper Crafts Idea. As many of you know, Monday's and I have a love/hate relationship. They love me, so much so that every 7 days they come around to say hi. And me, well, I personally think that Monday's are a four letter word, if you get what I mean.

So I try to take Monday's and brighten them up. The cards you see posted here on Monday's are created on Monday morning. They usually have bright colors and polka dots, and it's my way of trying to show up Monday and change the tune of it.

Today's card follows the same principles.

I am not a big Halloween person. It's just not something I go all out on. I don't send a lot of cards, and now that Emily is homeschooled, we don't have the treats to exchange at school. So it doesn't make sense for me to purchase a lot of Halloween items. But I normally find one or two things that I want to create and look for a versatile stamp set each year to do just that. (All the supplies are listed at the end of this post, so don't worry about keeping it all in your mind as you read through this.)

This year's stamp set is one that I have found most people are overlooking, it is the Frightful Wreath stamp set from Stampin' Up! This is a great set for card making, scrap booking, project life-ting and of course, wreath making. So I grabbed that one stamp set and just looked to other supplies that I already have to create all that I want to this Halloween.

Here is the simple stamp set that is Stampin' Up!'s Frightful Wreath:

For today's card, I dug around to see what I could use along with it. And last Friday, I used it for the Friday Flip. If you missed that post, click here for it.

I landed upon the Endless Birthday Wishes stamp set to get the word “happy”. And then picked out a scrap of the Back to Black Designer Series Paper, also from Stampin' Up! And then grabbed my Pumpkin Pie cotton ribbon.

Grab a few ink pads and it is ready to go!

The first step was to create my banners. If you don't like hand cutting banners, consider this die cut set that will do the work for you:

Two banners of card stock, one of Pumpkin Pie and one of Rich Razzleberry. Then the 3rd is that Back to Black paper. To finish that section off, I used the Pumpkin Pie ribbon for a strip to separate the Whisper White and Basic Black sections. Then a bow was tied on top. If you struggle with tying bows, you really might want to get the 10 Second Bow Maker. It makes tying bows quick, easy, and perfect every time.

The stamping is done with Rich Razzleberry for the “happy” and Pumpkin Pie for the “Halloween”. Add some Memento Tuxedo Black ink for our splatters, which are our ‘polka-dots' for the day – and your stamping is almost done. I repeated the splatters on the inside of the card as well.

All this crafting goodness was layered onto a base of Rich Razzleberry and just like that, this card is done!
