Halloween Card & Gift Tag

I found the cutest Halloween paper and stickers at Archiver’s last weekend in St. Louis.  Since Saturday was World Card Making Day, I thought I would make cards to send to the family.  I recently made my Daughter’s Halloween costume and will send a picture inside the cards.    While I was making the cards I came up with the idea of making tags for gift bags.

Material I used:

  • Cardstock
  • Paper Pad
  • Stickers
  • Washi Tape
  • Twine
  • Paper cutter
  • Adhesive tape
  • Glue Pen
  • Cricut Machine with letter cartridge

HOW TO MAKE THE CARD

Step 1:  First I started by making a card using a white piece of cardstock.  I measured 5.5 x 8.5 inches on the cardstock and then cut the paper using a paper cutter.

Step 2:  Next I cut a piece of pattern paper from the Doodlebug Design Inc. Halloween Parade 6 x 6 paper pad and used it for the background.  The paper is black with little white stars.  I adhered the paper to the card stock using a tape runner.

Step 3:  I cut two different sized pieces of pattern paper from the paper pad and added some twine to the smaller piece.  I used my tape runner to adhere the paper to the first layer.

Step 4:  I used my Cricut machine and Basic Shapes cartridge to cut the letters B O O using leftover white cardstock scraps.  I used my Martha Stewart glue pen to place the letters on the card.

Step 5:  The last thing I did was place a cute mini doodle-pops Owl sticker from the Doodlebug Design Inc collections on the top right corner of the card.

HOW TO MAKE THE GIFT TAG

Step 1:  First I measured a piece of pattern paper from the paper pad, using a coaster of all things.  It’s nice a square.  I then used my paper cutter to cut it out.  I chose this cute green paper with spiders and webs on it.

Step 2:  I tied a purple and white twine around a piece of orange washi tape and then stuck the tape on the bottom on the paper.

Step 3:  I took a piece of purple washi tape and placed it on the top left corner.  Using a black pen I wrote ‘trick or treat’ on the piece of purple washi tape.

Step 4:  The last embellishment I used was a cute fuzzy spider sticker from Martha Stewart Crafts.  I used a tiny black clothes pin to attach the tag to the paper bag.

I can’t wait to make more cards and gift tags to send to the family.  They are going to LOVE it!
