Cute Halloween Card 


I thought today I'd make a cute Halloween card using some different stamps that you might not think of for Halloween as well as using the Cute Halloween DSP. This card is really easy and I know I will use this layout again for some holiday cards.

First gather your supplies:
1. Basic Black cardstock cut 5 1/2" by 8 1/2" and a second piece 4 by 5 1/4"
2. Basic White cardstock cut 4 by 5 1/4" for the inside. 
3. Scrap of Highland Heather and Basic White for the sentiment
4. Cute Halloween DSP (#156479)
5. Stamp set--Biggest Wish (#155052) and A Wish For Everything (#149320)
6. Punch--Label Me Lovely (#151296)
7. Embossing folder--Painted Texture 3D (#154317)
8. Black and White Gingham Ribbon (#156485)
9. Ink--Pumpkin Pie and Highland Heather
10. Basic supplies--bone folder, Paper Snips, adhesive (Multipurpose Glue), Regular Dimensionals

Fold your Basic Black cardstock base in half. Take the 4 by 5 1/4" piece of Basic Black and run it through your embossing machine using the Painted Texture 3D embossing folder. 

Cut 4 pieces of the Cute Halloween DSP into 3" by 15/16" (that's just 1 tick less than 1") pieces. Glue those to the bottom of the embossed black piece making sure they are evenly spaced--I find it easier to glue the outside pieces first and then the 2 inside pieces. Tie a piece of the Black and White Gingham Ribbon across the top of the DSP. Attach it to the folded card using Multipurpose Glue. 

Using the Label Me Lovely punch, punch a Highland Heather and a Basic White piece. Time to stamp--stamp the Happy using the Biggest Wish set in Pumpkin Pie and the Halloween from the A Wish For Everything set in Highland Heather. Cut the Highland Heather punched piece in half and separate the two pieces and glue to the back of the sentiment piece. Attach to your card using Dimensionals. Here's a close up:


Now for the inside. There's a cute inside sentiment in A Wish For Everything that's perfect for Halloween--stamp it in Pumpkin Pie. Cut something from one of the DSP pieces and glue it to the top right and then attach that to the card. If you want more help, or are just a more visual person, watch my Facebook Live below.

  Floating Christmas Tree So if you make a lot of holiday cards like I do, it is time to start working on them! I know, I know, we haven't had Halloween yet, but if you want to send them out before the holiday it is time to get working. And this lovely card was inspired by someone else (sorry I just took a picture of it but there was no name on it so I can't thank you) who used her scraps to make the tree. I took it one step further and made a floating scraps tree. I've been wanting to make a card with this technique for a while and I knew this tree would look fabulous like this. And the second bonus is that I got to use up a ton of Lights Aglow scraps, even the small ones. All you need to do is cut your scraps into 1/2" pieces, attach them to a piece of window sheet and then cut out whatever shape you like. What an amazing way to use up something you might have otherwise thrown out. Win! Win! If you get lost making this card, or you are just a visual learner, please w...

  Pick of the Patch Joy Fold Card This fun joy fold card just makes me smile. I'm loving the Pick of the Patch bundle lately for its versatility--it can make beautiful fall cards, great Thanksgiving cards, and today a Halloween card. And all from a relatively inexpensive punch bundle. Now are you wondering where the Pumpkin Pie Designer Series Paper in the background is from? It's not DSP--I made it with the Sketched Plaid background stamp. Another versatile stamp set that I'm sure will be making an appearance on some holiday cards later this year. For some hints and tips on using this large sized stamp, and making this card, please watch my Facebook Live down below. Better yet, join me every Monday at 1 pm PST on my Stamp with Dr Robin Facebook group to make another fun card.  Time to make this card! Gather your supplies: 1. Basic Black cardstock --Card base 4 1/4" by 8 1/2"" scored on the long side at  3" and folded along the score line. Second piece 3...

Playing with Thoughtful Journey DSP Hopefully you have received your new 2024-25 Annual Catalog by now--if not please email me at stampwithdrrobin@gmail.com and let me send you one if you don't have a demonstrator. I am making a card today using the gorgeous 6" by 6" Thoughtful Journey DSP as each page is more beautiful than the last. These pages are stand alone amazing--all they really need is a sentiment added to make a card, but I thought I'd fancy them up today with some other new products. I am loving the In Color Glimmer Paper as well as the Unbounded Love bundle that I used for the sentiment. If you have trouble following along with these directions, please watch my Facebook live below.   Let's make this card. Gather your supplies:  1. Mossy Meadow cardstock --Card base 5 1/2" by 8 1/2" scored on the long side at  4 1/4" and folded along the score line. A second piece 3 3/4" by 2 3/8" 2. Basic White cardstock-- 3 3/4" by 5...
