Dancin’ Halloween Card Ideas

Hello, crafty friends!! Brenda Noelke here from My PaperCut Creations! I’m so excited to be guest posting on the Spellbinders blog again today! I’m sharing three cards using the Dancin’ Halloween Collection! This collection includes three die-sets in which one of the elements swings back and forth and one stamp set that includes sentiments that coordinate perfectly, not only for Halloween but for other occasions throughout the year!! Interactive cards add such a fun element of surprise on cards, don’t you agree?

BONE-AFIDE FUN BIRTHDAY CARD

For my first card, I die-cut the Dancin’ Day of the Dead Girl Etched Dies from Royal Amethyst, Rainforest, Persimmon, Saffron, Snowdrift, Onyx and red cardstock. I assembled all of the elements together with liquid glue, leaving the head unattached from the body.

For the background, I die-cut the Infinity Punch & Pierce Plate Etched Dies from Royal Amethyst cardstock and layered it over a panel of Rainforest cardstock. I also die-cut two ovals from Snowdrift and Persimmon cardstock using the Essential Stylish Ovals Etched Die Set and layered them over the background. The girl was adhered to the ovals by adding foam tape to the back of the head and placing it over the body, being sure to leave the body of the girl to swing freely.

The sentiment, from the Dancin’ Halloween Sentiments stamp set, was white heat embossed onto Onyx cardstock and trimmed into a rectangle. It was popped up with foam tape and this card was finished.

GRIM REAPER HALLOWEEN CARD

I chose to create a Halloween card with the Dancin’ Grim die set, but how fun would an “over-the-hill” birthday card be? I die-cut the reaper from Royal Amethyst, Onyx, Snowdrift, and Mirror Silver cardstock.

For the background on this one, I embossed the Party Spots Embossing Folder onto a panel of Saffron cardstock that was die-cut with the largest die in the A2 Matting Basics A Die Set and adhered it to an A2 panel of Onyx cardstock. One of the Essentials Rectangles Dies (along with the dotted inlay) was die-cut from Snowdrift cardstock and layered over a panel of Rainforest cardstock that was cut out with the same rectangle die.

The sentiment, also from the Dancin’ Halloween Sentiments Set, was white heat embossed onto Onyx cardstock, trimmed into a narrow banner, and popped up under the reaper with foam tape.

Spooktacular wishes CARD

For my third and final card, I die-cut the Dancin’ Day of the Dead Boy Etched Dies from Royal Amethyst, Rainforest, Persimmon, Saffron, Snowdrift, and Onyx cardstock.

For the background on this one, I die-cut the largest die in the A2 Matting Basics A Die Set from Persimmon cardstock and embossed it with the Hand Drawn Scallops embossing folder, then adhered it to an A2 panel of Onyx cardstock. The ovals were die-cut from Snowdrift and Royal Amethyst cardstock using the Essential Ovals Die Set.

The sentiment is once again from the Dancin’ Halloween Sentiments stamp set. It was white heat embossed onto an Onyx cardstock strip and popped up with foam tape.
