3 Last-Minute Halloween Cards with Matching Envelopes | LDRS Creative

| marialrussell

Hello my crafty friends! Are you all done creating Halloween Cards yet?! If you are looking to create some last-minute Halloween cards without the fuss of stamping and coloring images, here’s a cute project for you (or should I say, a couple?)!  These cards are so easy to make and they have cute matching envelopes to boot!

For today’s projects, I am showcasing the Trick-or-Treat 6×6 Halloween Paper Pack, along with the A2 Diagonal Stitched Layered Card Toppers, Large Word Halloween Dies, A2 Envelope Dies and A2 Envelope Liner Die.  Let me just tell you that the new A2 Envelope Dies with the A2 Envelope Liner Die are SO EASY to put together and they look like you bought them from a stationery store!

All 3 cards (and envelopes) were made the same way!  If I wasn’t running out of the Trick-or-Treat Halloween Paper, I could have made more, to be honest!

I started by die-cutting the sentiments using the Large Word Halloween Dies [this die-set is another favorite of mine from the latest release] on some different colors of card stock.  I adhered them together with liquid glue.

Next, the background panel was die-cut using the A2 Diagonal Stitched Layered Card Toppers Die and adhered on some black A2-size notecard.  I foam-mounted the Halloween Sentiments onto the card for added dimension.  Easy peasy and I’m done with all three cards!  However, I wanted to add some matching envelopes to finish the design.  I used the A2 Envelope Dies and the A2 Envelope Liner Die to die-cut some black and gray card stock and the matching Halloween Paper that I used to create the cards.  I adhered them together using some strong adhesive.  Here’s another look at the finished projects:

Hello everyone! I have a very simple “non-Halloween” card for you today, featuring the Roberto Rascal’s Bats stamp set and Bats coordinating dies by CC Designs. This stamp set is honestly one of my favorites from the last release.

Here’s how I made this card:

  • finish the design by stamping the sentiment with Memento Tuxedo Black ink.

Even though this stamp set is meant for Halloween, I wanted to stretch my supplies and use it for a non-Halloween project. It’s simple but it turned out really cute!

Haunted Mansion Pockets Pals by LDRS Creative

| marialrussell

Hello!  I have a SPOOKY card for you guys today, featuring the Haunted Mansion Pocket Pals stamp set from the LDRS Creative new Fall/Halloween Collection.

I started by stamping the Haunted Mansion image on some Neenah Solar White card stock with Raven Hybrid ink [this ink is perfect for using with either watercolor or alcohol markers].  I colored the images in with alcohol markers.  My color palette was inspired by the packaging itself.  I definitely LOVE that LDRS Creative gives you ideas on how to color the stamps.  I wish more companies will do this with their packaging.

Next, I carefully ink-blended the background using Dark Wash Jeans Hybrid ink and some blending brush to create the night sky.  

To create a spooky effect, I stamped the little “ghosty” images and the bats on the window and background with Raven Hybrid ink.  I also die-cut the grass panel twice on some black card stock using the In the Grass Die Set.  I adhered these on the card with liquid glue.

Now that my scene is almost finished, I decided to add the moon that I die-cut using the By the Light of the Moon Die Set.  I also stamped the sentiment on some black card stock with LDRS Watermark ink.  I sprinkled some White Embossing Powder and used heating tool to heat-set the sentiment.  I fussy-cut the sentiment and adhered on the card.

Lastly, I used some white gel pen to add some dots and stars for added texture and interest.  Here’s another look at the finished card:
