I'm easing back not only into making things but also getting them posted, after my unintentional Summer Break. It doesn't take long to forget the work that goes into taking pictures, uploading and photo-editing them, planning out a post, etc.
Of course, I never take a break from being on the lookout for supplies and ideas and in early September, I didn't skip or delay picking up a fun Halloween Paper stack at Michaels. I needed an escape from the news over the weekend so I got busy making cards for family and friends. I love that a few people keep these and pull them out each year as part of their decor.
Supplies:
- Witch's Lair 12x12 Paper Stack (Recollections, Michaels)
- Black 110 lb Cardstock (Recollections, Michaels)
- Gold Foil 65lb Cardstock (Recollections, Michaels)
- Gold Star Transparency (Stash)
- Tape Runner or Double Sided Tape
- Self Adhesive Rhinestones
This is the stack I used which comes with a mix of plain, foiled, and panel sheets. As much as I love my digital cutting machines, I love these kinds of paper stacks because the panel sheets are perfect focals for cards.
I generally make my cards 5x7 which I did for these. Cut the black cardstock 7x10 then score in the middle. For the background panels, I chose a few different papers in the stack.
The panel pages always come in different sizes. If you're not into card making you can simply cut and frame some of them!
Cut and trim the panels you want to use, and then mat with coordinating paper. I used the gold foil or black cardstock.
I picked up the coordinating washi tape in the Witch's Lair collection which I attached to some of the panels before adhering them to the background panel.
To finish, I used self adhesive rhinestones to add a little glam!
