Good Friday morning stamping friends, welcome to my fun fold Friday.   I hope you all had a great week and are looking forward to the weekend. For the next few days I’m doing something I don’t normally do, I’m using the same suite of products. I thought it would be fun to share some Halloween cards with you since Halloween is next month and there’s a limited time to make the cards.

Today’s card is one that I did on my YouTube Live yesterday. If you were able to join me, thank you for hopping on. If you’d like to watch the replay and stamp along, the measurements are on the bottom of this post along with the link to my video. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Oh My Fright Bundle and Frightfully Fun Designer Series Paper for my book fold card.

Using the Oh My Fright Dies, cut the ghosts from a panel of Very Vanilla and the bats & swirls from a panel of Basic Black..

Adhere a small panel of Frightfully Fun DSP to a Basic Black mat. Adhere the layered panel between the scored card front. Wrap a piece of Black 3/8″ Iridescent Ribbon around the scored card front and tie a bow. Adhere the scored section together on the inside to make your book fold card. Adhere the larger panel of Frightfully Fun DSP to a Basic Black mat. Adhere the layered panel to the larger section of the Very Vanilla card base.

Adhere the die cut swirls to the 4 corners of the card front. Stamp the sentiment from the Oh My Fright stamp set in Versamark Ink on a panel of Basic Black. Sprinkle the sentiment with White Embossing Powder and set it with the Heat Tool. Cut the end of the sentiment into a banner with Detail Scissors. Adhere the sentiment to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Adhere the die cut ghosts in a circle to make a wreath. Adhere a few of the die cut bats with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a Adhesive-Backed Bat Ghost and Dots to the sentiment.

Stamp the sentiment from Oh My Fright stamp set in Black Ink on a panel of Very Vanilla. Stamp the ghost image from the Oh My Fright stamp set in Black Ink on the corners of the panel. Adhere the Very Vanilla panel to a Basic Black mat then to the inside of the Very Vanilla card base.

Decorate a Basic Whtie Medium Envelope to finish your card. Stamp the ghost image from the Oh My Fright stamp set in Black Ink on the envelope front. Adhere a panel of Frightfully Fun DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. You can watch my video on my YouTube Channel Here.
