Quick DIY Halloween Card

If you enjoy making Halloween cards, you’re going to love this quick DIY Halloween Card! Made with the Frightfully Cute and Textures & Frames stamp sets by Stampin’ Up!, this card comes together in minutes!

Be the fun house this year: turn the ho-hum trick-or-treat sweets into a delectable surprise with the Frightfully Cute Stamp Set. Create tags with images and sentiments that are sized perfectly to fit on small chocolate bars and other traditional sweets for trick-or-treaters.

Use the images on their own, like I did with this card, or layer the images to create a Halloween scene. Have fun mixing up the sentiments whether you’re feeling punny or you want to go for a more traditional Halloween greeting—this set has it all!

Bold images make it easy to stamp in a single color, or stamp with VersaMark ink for a tone-on-tone look. Keep your projects simple, or if you’re feeling fancy, add ribbons and embellishments until your project is frightfully cute!

Then add the Textures & Frames stamp set, which will frame your stamped images perfectly! You can see other ways I used this stamp set here.
