Cute Heroween Card

About this Project

I have been having fun with the Heroween Halloween Kit. I've not had much time to play, but did manage to make two creations so far, this is the second of the two. I shared the first a couple of weeks back here. I think the lil' ghosts in this kit are so dang cute, so I wanted to create a card with these cuties. This Heroween Kit is very heavy on the diecutting elements, but they do have a few great sentiment stamps in the kit, which of course they've included the outline dies for. So I've created a majority of the design with diecuts, but did manage to sneak in a little stamped sentiment in there too. I think these lil' ghosts are beyond adorable. I've diecut them from a soft grey cardstock, SBC's Almost Grey, so they would stand out against the white cardstock. I created the background for this design from a piece of white cardstock I had diecut the Echo Park Boo Die Set from. I just thought the layout of these dies looked so fun when the dies were cut, so I held onto it to use this way. I've had this sitting in my stash since last year this way, so it was really lovely to pull it out and use it. As soon as I saw the candy corns from the Heroween Kit, the idea started coming together. I completed the design, then decided to add a stamped sentiment too, from the Heroween Kit. I stamped it in VersaFine Clair Nocturne Ink to match the black bats and bring balance to the design and diecut it with the matching outline die. I thought the 'Have A Haunting Halloween' was perfect to pair with these cute ghosts. The sentiments come from Day 2 of the kit and the candy corn and ghosts from Day 8. The little bats completed this design perfectly and were from Day 5. I also used the lovely black stars which were the embellishments included in the kit. This was a quick and fun make. I especially liked diecutting the candy corn from three cardstocks, including the orange glitter cardstock from Simon Says Stamp. Rather than put them together all the same, I mixed them up, so each had unique placement of the colours. Not very realistic I know, but I think it looks fun. I chose the yellow when I was playing with A2 panel options trying out different colours. I went for an orange first, but the yellow was just so striking and fun in this design and I absolutely love this bright playful choice. The yellow is Scrapbook.com's Vivid Yellow Cardstock and I had an envelope in my stash which matched really well to complete the design.
