Yesterday I posted what I call a “Triangle Card” because there are 4 triangles cut from one piece of Designer Series Paper on the front. At the end of that post, I also shared a quick Christmas version of that card. You can see that post HERE. But I was getting ahead of myself because it’s not even Halloween yet! Halloween is just 10 days away, so today I am sharing a Halloween Triangle Card.
For this card, I used the Gingham Cottage Designer Series Paper. This is a package full of double the fun because it comes with more than double the amount of paper in a package! There are 48 12″ x 12″ pieces of Designer Series paper in this pack. And the color range covers all the seasons so even though this paper appears in the July-December Mini Catalog, you can use it for projects all year round!
For this card, you need only one piece of double sided Designer Series Paper that measures 3 3/4” x 5”. When choosing your paper for this card check both sides of the paper to make sure they coordinate. While this is true for most Stampin’ Up papers, there are times when the front and back side do not coordinate well if you are using them on the same card. I chose the black and white papers in the top left hand corner.
But you might have noticed that the two side panels are not just black and white. I decided that I wanted a little bit more color on my card, so I decided to use my Parakeet Party and Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blends Markers to add a little color. I randomly choose blocks and just colored them in!
For this card, I used a piece of Parakeet Party as my “background” for the triangle pieces. I wanted a bit of color and the Parakeet Party is a nice bright green that gives a good contast. Plus is matched the color of my frog on the center piece. I also used the Parakeet Party Stampin’ Blends to color a few Basic Rhinestone Jewels to match my card.
If you would like to make this card, you will need these supplies:
- Best Witches Stamp Set
- Stylish Shapes Dies (Circle & sentiment banner)
- Layering Circle s Dies (Scalloped Circle)
- Basic Black Cardstock – Cut 4 1/4″ x 11″; score and fold at 5 1/2″
- Parakeet Party Cardstock – Cut 4″ x 5 1/4″, and a scrap for a Scalloped Circle (about 2 1/2″ x 2 1/2″)
- Gingham Cottage Designer Series Paper – Cut 3 3/4″ x 5″ (Cut diagonally corner to corner, then cut diagonally corner to corner in the opposite direction)
- Ink; Memento Tuxedo Black, Parakeet Party
- Stampin’ Blends Markers: (Optional) – Parakeet Party and Pumpkin Pie
- Metallic Mesh Ribbon
- Basic Rhinestone Jewels
- Post It Notes
- Adhesive: Multipurpose Liquid Glue, Dimensionals
- Tools: Paper Trimmer, Paper Snips, Mini Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine
I also did a little bit of stamping on the inside of my card using the same background stamp with little stars and dots that I used as the background behind the little frog that is sitting on the circle. and of course a bit of the Designer Series Paper that I used on the front of the card. And there is still plenty of room if I want to stamp a sentiment or write a little note.
The sample card that I made first, I just used the Parakeet Party Stampin’ Blends Marker (no Pumpkin Pie). What do you think? Do you like the one color card? Or is the two color card your favorite?
For a few tips and tricks on how I put together this card, and why you need Post-It Notes to make this card, check out this video from my Therapy Thursday Facebook Live:
