Hi, Stampers!
I am enjoying creating cards with items from the CUTE HALLOWEEN SUITE featured in the STAMPIN’ UP! JULY-DECEMBER 2021 MINI CATALOG. I have collected quite the stack of scraps from the CUTE HALLOWEEN 6”x6” DSP. I decided it was time to put those scraps to work by making them the stars of a batch of Halloween cards.
Here is a look at the cards:
As you can see, I used one of my go to card layouts! I call this layout the Three Scrap Strips Card, because that is exactly what I used to make each card - 3 strips of DSP. All of the cardstock pieces, except for the card bases were also pulled from my scrap bin. The skulls, ghosts and jack-o-lanterns were punched or fussy cut from scraps of DSP!
Before we talk more about the cards let’s take a look at the stamp sets I used:
CUTEST HALLOWEEN BUNDLE
CLEVER CATS
Now, let’s talk about the card layouts. As you can see, the background for each card is made up of three strips of DSP. Each strip of DSP is matted with a strip of cardstock. The strips can be long or short and the orientation of the strips can be portrait or landscape for either length of strips.
Here are the cutting dimensions for the strips
SHORT VERSION
DSP - cut at 3 3/4” x 1 1/4”
Cardstock mat cut at 3 7/8” x 1 3/8”
