Wishing You A Happy Halloween Card

  Happy Thursday!

Halloween is 11 days away and I have been creating some Halloween projects over the last few weeks. So, for today's post I'm sharing this vintage Wishing You A Happy Halloween Card using Graphic 45's Steampunk Spells Deluxe Collector's Edition. 

The first five steps use the Steampunk Spells 8x8 Deluxe Collector's Edition Pack.

From the Totally Wicked Paper, cut a piece from the moon side that measures 4" x 5 1/4". Cut a piece from the Clockworks Paper using the gears side that measures 3 3/4" x 5". From the Witching Hour Paper, cut a piece from the spell paper side that measures 3 1/2" x 4 3/4". Sand the edges of all three papers.

From the Freightful Folly paper, cut a piece from the dot side that measures 2 1/2" x 3 7/8". Sand the edges of the paper.

From the Vintage Voyage paper, fussy cut the spells book, women on bike, wishing you a happy banner, love potion sign, potions image and cut the card with clocks down to 1 1/4" x 2 1/2". Sand the edges of the pieces. 

From the Nevermore Paper, fussy cut the bat, moon balloon and crow out. Sand the edges of the pieces.

From the Steampunk Spells paper, fussy cut two balloons and three stamps out. Sand the edges of the pieces. 

Adhere the gear paper to the moon paper. Adhere the spell paper to the gear paper.

Adhere the clock paper 5/8" from the left and 1/4" from the top of the spell paper. Adhere one of the stamps 7/8" from the left and 1/8" from the top of the spell paper. Roll the top right corner of the stamp down. Adhere the dot paper 1/8" from the left and 5/8" from the top of the spell paper. Adhere a second stamp 7/8" from the right and 1/8" from the bottom of the spell paper. 

Adhere the potions image 1/8" over the left side and 7/8" from the top of the spell paper. Adhere the love potion sign and third stamp to the right side of the spell book as desired. Roll down the top left corner of the stamp. Use foam squares to adhere the spells book 1" from the left and 1/2" from the top of the spell paper.

Adhere the bat to the top right side of the spells book. Use adhesive and foam squares to adhere the two balloons to the left of the spells book as desired.

Use adhesive and foam squares to adhere the woman on the bike to the left of the spells book as desired. In amongst the bottom right portion of the woman, adhere the moon balloon and crow. Use foam squares to adhere the Wishing You A Happy Halloween Banner to the bottom portion of the spells book. 

Add seven black and gold Matte Pearl Gems to the cardfront as desired. 

To finish the card, cut a cardbase out of kraft cardstock that measures 4 1/4" x 11", score at 5 1/2". Adhere the cardfront to the cardbase.
