Halloween Card Series - Scarry Tree Cards #1 - #5

I start this series with 5 cards all using the Scary Tree die from Sizzix.  My favorite black report cover stock from Fellows adds a level of texture.  Some cards are cute while others are just whimsical.

Scarry Tree Card #1

Recipe:
  • Ivory card stock from Staples cut in half and folded in half to a standard A2 size card
  • Black report cover stock from Fellows layer, cut to 4x5.25 inches
  • Ivory card stock layer cut to 3.75x5 inches
  • Graphic 45's Happy Hauntings 8x8 paper pack - Midnight Magic
  • EK Success edge punch - Pointed Flower
  • Scary Tree Sizzix die cut using Fellows Black report cover stock and mounted on dimensional foam adhesive, I use Forever in Time from Scrapbuck.com 
  • Stephanie Bernard's Stamps of Life - owls2love & moreowls2love stamp sets for the 3D Owls in three sizes sitting on the tree branches
  • After the owls were stamped and cut out, three times each, and layered on 1/8 inch dimensional dots I added Glossy Accents to make them pop.  Set the card on a level surface and allow to air dry.

Card #2 & #3


Recipe:
  • Ivory cover stock from Staples, cut & folded to a standard A2 size card
  • Black Fellows binder cover layer cut to 4x5.25 inches
  • Graphic45's Happy Haunting paper collection - Man in the Moon page from 8x8 stack cut to 3.75x5 inches
  • Scary Tree Sizzix die cut with Black Fellows binder cover stock and cut in half vertically, half for Card #2 & half for Card #3.  Each attached with dimensional adhesive squares
  • Spellbinders Shapabilities Nested Bats - 3 of the smallest bats cut with my favorite black cover stock, embossed and attached on dimensional adhesive squares which were colored with a black Sharpie to blend into the background paper
  • Lastly, the bats received a layer of Black Diamond Stickles
  • The only difference between the two cards is the 1/2 tree placement

Card #4

Recipe:
  • Ivory cover stock from Staples, cut & folded to a standard A2 size card
  • Black Fellows binder cover layer cut to 4x5.25 inches
  • Graphic45's Happy Haunting paper collection - back side of Man in the Moon page from 8x8 stack cut to 3 strips measuring 1.5x3.75 inches
  • One moon was cut from the front of the paper and layered on 1/8 inch dimensional foam tape on the top 1.5 inch strip of pattern paper, making it peak our from behind the tree
  • More bats covered in Black Diamond Stickles
Card #5

Recipe:
  • Kraft card stock from Hobby Lobby, A2 size
  • Black Fellows binder cover stock layer cut to 4x5.25 inches
  • Scary Tree cut with both medium weight chipboard and black binder cover stock, glued together

    1. Thank you Mandi, I think the 'Scary Tree' is a retired design but if you have a hard time locating it, I have some die cut packs on my blog for sale.
