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:

Instructions:
Fold the Cajun Craze card stock in half.
Using adhesive of choice, adhere the 3 ½” x 5 ½” inch piece of Magic in This Night DSP to the Cajun Craze base.
Attach the 4 ¼” x 1” piece of DSP to the 4 ¼” x 1 ¼” Basic Black piece.
Place a Glue Dot on each end of the 5” inch piece of Glittered Organdy Ribbon. Stretch the ribbon across the front of the DSP/black piece, sticking the Glue Dots to the back of it.
With adhesive, adhere this entire piece to the card front, about halfway down.
Create a “faux” box with the 3” Glittered Organdy Ribbon. (Slip the piece underneath the ribbon already attached to the card stock. Tie a knot.)
Die cut the white scrap with a circle from the Stitched Shapes and the Cajun Craze with a scallop circle.
Stamp the spider web image with Cajun Craze ink onto the white circle three times, stamping off once for each web. Use Memento Black ink to stamp the “Happy Haunting” sentiment in the middle of the white circle and on top of the webs.
Place the white circle on top of the Cajun Craze scallop with Glue Dots. With Dimensionals, pop this circle up on top of the ribbon on the left-hand side of the card.
Stamp the word “Boo” in Black Memento on the 5 ¼” x 4” Whisper White. Attach to the inside of the card.
