Welcome back to the bi-weekly Cardz 4 Galz challenge #261. Debbie, our host for this bi-weekly challenge, chose For a Little Girl for the theme. When you finish here, please visit the challenge site to see what the rest of the design team members created. Then, don’t forget to upload your creations to our gallery. We look forward to seeing your creations there!
My great-niece is 7 years old, so that makes her a little girl, right? I’ve made Halloween cards for her and her 5 year old brother, which will be my design team member post for Cardz 4 Guyz #379 on Tuesday, October 25. After it goes live, I will back link it here.
Here’s my double z-fold Halloween card for a 7 year old girl:
I’ve already posted two other Halloween cards using this suite of products which you can see here and here.
As always with a fun fold card, I will be adding this to the Creative Creases Challenge where the theme is always Anything Goes with a Fun Fold.
Here’s My Template:
- In addition, I needed to trim a piece of Spooky Sweet DSP (designer series paper) to 6 by 2-1/4 inches for the envelope flap
- Next, I punched a 1-inch circle from DSP and ran it through my XYRON create-a-sticker for the envelope seal
Tips & Tricks for Assembly:
- I used multipurpose liquid glue to adhere all the pieces together except for the sentiment banner and bats on the front of the card, and the top layer of candy corn pieces on the inside
- The bats and candy corn pieces also come from the Spooky Night DSP pack
- There’s two 12 x 12 pages of punch-outs for this set ~ cuteness abounds
- Googly eyes makes everything cuter, and I used those for the two pairs of eyes on the DSP for the front of the card
- I cropped three layers of the “BOO!” sentiment from black cardstock and layered them together for the inside of the card
- The web and spider are also cropped from black DSP and adhered to the inside
- I used a black Stamping Write Marker to connect the spider to the web
- The black stars on the sentiment banner come from the same suite of products
- Since this card would require extra postage, is bulky, and has the googly-eyes, I will be mailing this card and her brother’s card in a padded manila envelope
- With that, I’d finished this coordinated card, envelope, and envelope seal set
Thank you for stopping by today!
Have a Peachy Day!
