Halloween lovers take note! Today, I’m sharing a fun Halloween card using a fun fold — the gate fold with a belly band. In addition, I use a fun element called a “wobble.” Be sure to watch the video below to see how this card comes together and how the wobble works.
Basic Black cardstock base measuring 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored on each of the long ends at 2 1/8
Two pieces of Spooky Sweet 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper measuring 5 1/4 x 1 7/8
Stylish Shape circle die cut from Spooky Sweet DSP
Haunted House die cut from Basic Black card stock (backed with Daffodil Delight card stock)
Bats, spiders, and spider webs die cut from Basic Black card stock (it helps to use adhesive sheets on the back of the card stock).
Belly Band created from Basic Black Two-Tone card stock measuring 9 1/2 x 1 1/4
Basic White panel measuring 5 1/4 x 4 for the inside
Sentiment stamped with Pumpkin Pie ink
This is what the card looks like when it’s open:

Card making doesn’t have to be difficult! Stampin’ Up! offers a lot of ways to make creating easy. With today’s card, I feature the Thoughtful Moments Hybrid Embossing Folder, a folder with a coordinating die that cuts ten sentiments with one crank of the die cut machine. Have these sentiments on hand for whenever you need them. Or, make a quick stack of cards, all ready to send out.
For the focal piece, the leaf, I used a leftover leaf (Gathering Moments Dies), from this card I created earlier in the week. Click here to see that post and a coordinating video.
