Clever Cat Halloween Card
This fun Clever Cat Halloween Card comes together quickly by using some circle dies and the gorgeous Beautifully Penned Sale-A-Bration Paper that you can get for FREE during Stampin’ Up Sale-A-Bration!
Sometimes you just need a quick & easy card and this one fits the bill, thanks to the Circle Framelets and the Stampin’ Up! Cut & Emboss Machine. If you don’t have a die-cut machine, you can always use a Circle Punch – a 2-1/2″ Circle Punch would be perfect on this card.
I chose the Clever Cats Stamp Set because no coloring would be required. You can see more cards made with this set here.
I used the free Sale-A-Bration Beautifully Penned Paper because I liked how neutral this paper is – and I wanted to add pops of color! I also wanted a bit of sparkle, so I used the Gorgeous Grape Ombre Speciality Paper – lots of sparkle with no work. 😊 I paired it up with Granny Apple Green cardstock and I had a cute Halloween Card! Here’s how I made this card:
