My Merriest Trees double fold card seems to be very popular right now, so I decided to make a Halloween one! You can see the Merriest Trees post here.

You can find the instructions for the double fold card in my instructions. It’s on the right side from a computer, or on the bottom from a phone. I have a video too (making the Merriest Trees one):

Here’s the card opening, the inside and the back.

And here’s a short video showing it all!

 

If you’re wondering how I made that background, watch me on Facebook Live next week! Tuesday, 10/29 at noon Eastern. I’ll show lots of cards with that technique!

I made this card in last week’s FB Live. Facebook can be so frustrating, and right now my live is not viewable. Have no idea what happened, but chances are it will never be viewable. Still thinking about my live this week.

Side step cards are fun and pretty easy to make. I have instructions for this type of card-  you can see it under “instructions”. That’s on the right side from a computer or on the bottom from a phone.

OK, that Live was a little better. Although I did hit mute accidentally at the end. Another lesson learned!

 

The video can be seen on Facebook or YouTube. Here’s my original Cascading video:

This card has the tissue paper technique for the background. You can see my video here:

 

I used Basic Gray and Gorgeous Grape ink on it. Instead of using Basic White behind the tissue paper, I used Basic Gray. I added some dots with the Pearlized Enamel Effects in black. They’re hard to see, but they are there!

For the pinwheel, I colored a piece of Basic White with Pumpkin Pie and Gorgeous Grape with a Blending Brush. I die cut the pinwheel, then added rubbing alcohol and Memento refill to a spritzer and spritzed on top of the pinwheel. I die cut the broom with the same paper, but did not add black to it.

The center of the pinwheel was die cut from the tissue paper.

For the sentiment, I just wanted part of it. I inked up just “toil & trouble” and fussy cut it.

I added the Basic Black frame using the Deckled Rectangles dies.

Next week’s FB Live will be a Halloween card!

My PDF Tutorial for 4 cards I won’t share anywhere for Potions & Spells can be seen here.

So, this year (so far), no Halloween paper. So, I have several cards where I made the background with ink or used another paper to make it look like Halloween!

This is one of them!

For the background, I used the Naturally Gilded paper. The white one with silver trees. I used my brayer and Memento ink to color the white part. The silver trees stay silver! Just go over the paper with a paper towel to take off any ink that’s on top of the tree.

I stamped the cat with Versamark on Basic Black. Heat with silver embossing powder, die cut.

The broom is Silver Foil and Basic Black.

For the “BOO”, I die cut the letters with the Mini Alphabet dies and the Berry Burst, Old Olive & White Glimmer paper. I used the white. With a spritzer, I added rubbing alcohol and a few drops of Memento Ink Refill. Spritzed on top of the letters, let dry.
