Card #8 More Fun Bewitching Bundle Halloween Cards

Card One

Card Two (Front/Inside)

It's never too soon to make more Halloween cards!  I know! I posted a Halloween card last week.  I just can't stop playing with the Bewitching Bundle from the Stampin' Up! July-Dec. Mini Catalog. 
I really like the Witching Hat Builder Punch. It is fun! I also like the legs/boots from the stamp set. I normally don't make slimline cards. I am not a huge fan of these, however, I wanted my hats to stack on each other and this card size was an option. 

I hope you like these cards as I had fun making them. I am sure there will be more holiday cards to post here before September, lol!😉 (I actually made more tonight!) But for now, I will continue with the measurements of these two cards.😊

Before I go on, I must mention that the sentiment inside the slimline card is retired and is no longer available.

Card #7 Bewitching Bundle Halloween Cards

Card One

Card Two

I always get excited for the Stampin' Up!® July-December Mini Catalog to come out each year just to see what fun Halloween paper and other products are new.  I love the colors of Halloween. The purples, oranges, and black, those colors together make me happy and are festive.  Orange and purple...yes, yes!😊😊  I will be honest, some years the Designer Series Halloween paper is better than others.  However, I still have fun with whatever is current.  This year's July-Dec. Mini Catalog has some fun DSP and stamps.  I have only made two cards so far, but hey, it's only August!  😊

Let's get started with what I have used!

Card #6 An Easy Card Made With Only a Few Products

**This Designer Series Paper is retired. The Night of Navy and Basic White cardstock is available.  Keep this in mind, because you can find other paper that can work on it's own.

The reason I am showing you this card is because I was asked how to make a card with very little product.  This card came to mind as an example of that. It was from a pack of  DSP (designer series paper) that has beautiful watercolor images.  You could add something to the image or just leave it as is, with just a stamped sentiment.  I love this paper. I am sorry it has retired. However, there are always many beautiful designer papers to choose from, to essentially make a card as easy as this one. I know that it is difficult to decide what to purchase for cardmaking when just starting out.  However, if you are like me, you want to buy everything, and yet you don't want to blow your budget! 😐  One of the wonderful things about Stampin' Up!® is their products coordinate, and that makes it easy to find things that go nicely together. I suggest finding items, like DSP,  that you can use all by themselves (like the piece I used on this card) and then later on, when you begin to grow your inventory of product, you can also use those items to step it up a notch.😊

At some point I will post about products you can purchase that will get you off to a great start as a beginner, and then build on those things.  Stay tuned for that post.  

Now...back to this card!
