Creep-a-Day Challenge Day 6

 Two Jacks Halloween Cards!

Just a couple of jacks

 

Handmade cards can be fun and easy to make! Many months ago, when a scrapbooking store was closing, I snagged a pack of cards and envelopes for a pretty nice price. I knew they’d be for Halloween but I didn’t have a clue what to do with them.

Not long after that, I spied the jack o’ lantern punch on sale at a craft store and had to get it. It wasn’t until a week ago when I came up with the idea for this card.

What you need!

Supplies:

Orange paper

Plain cards w/ matching envelopes (I used “Create-A-Card” by Doodlebug Design Inc.™)

Jack o’ lantern punch (I used ek tools™)

2 ½ inch circle punch (I used ek tools™)

Glue (I used Glossy Accents™)

Look at that smile!

The How:

I punched out a jack o’ lantern face in the orange paper, making sure I left space around it. I set aside the punched-out pieces because I think I can use them for a future Creep-a-Day project.

 

Lining that face up right!

Next I took my circle punch and centered it around the cut out jack o’ lantern face and punched it out.

Twinsies!!

I repeated this until I had 24. (I used 3 sheets of paper)

Severed pumpkin heads!!!!

Be careful with that glue!

With all of my jacks cut out, I began gluing them to the cards. I put a fine squiggle of glue all around the

backside of a jack and then placed it carefully on the card so that I was slightly askew. I repeated this with the next jack.

Looks nifty!

That's one cute card!

I liked how this looked so I glued down the remaining jacks to their cards and set them all aside to dry.

Now I just need to address the envelopes and write a silly message wishing some special people a very Happy Halloween!
