Now that fall has arrived and the weather has turned chilly, have you noticed the pumpkins, witches and ghosts starting to appear throughout your neighborhood? This marks the coming of the next holiday -- Halloween!
I have the cutest card to show you today if you love sending out special Halloween cards to your loved ones. This one is a fun fold bookmark card that can be used throughout the year. It uses the versatile Have a Hoot Stamp Set along with the Peek a Hoot Dies. These can be purchased individually or as a bundle to save 15% though my Stampin' Up! Online Store.
Instructions: Halloween Bookmark Card
- Cut a piece of Very Vanilla card stock to measure 8-1/2” x 5-1/2” and score at 4-1/4”; fold in half.
- Emboss the front of the card using the Old World Paper 3D Embossing Folder.
- Score the front of the card at 2-1/8” so the card will now be folded in a zig zag.
- Cut a 2” x 3” piece of Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper and adhere to the bottom of the front flap.
- Stamp the large tag from the Peek a Hoot Dies and stamp with the pumpkin from the Have a Hoot Stamp Set and color with either Stampin’ Blends or Stampin’ Write Markers. Add a Cinnamon Cider Ribbon and attach the pumpkin tag to the front of the card so it overlaps as it opens.
- Using the Delightful Tag Topper Punch, punch the top of a 2” x 4-3/4” Soft Suede card stock and the top of a 1-3/4” x 4-1/4” Very Vanilla card stock.
- Stamp the Very Vanilla card stock with the owl in Early Espresso Ink. Color using either Stampin’ Blends or Stampin’ Write Markers. Stamp the owl again on a Post It Note and carefully cut it out to use as a mask.
- Placing the mask over your stamped image, carefully add a color wash in Seaside Spray Ink around the owl using an Aqua Painter or Water Painters.
- Stamp “BOO” directly on the bookmark or onto the smallest tag from the Peek a Hoot Dies and adhere to the bookmark. Adhere the Very Vanilla bookmark to the Soft Suede bookmark. Add a Linen Thread tie to the top of the bookmark, then attach the bookmark to the inside of the card using just one Stampin’ Dimensionals. The bookmark can then carefully be removed to be used as an actual bookmark.
