hidden flap halloween card

I am not usually a Halloween-y girl but something about the Spooky Halloween Bundle caught my eye – adorable in it’s design I will use this in all my scrapbooking for my children’s pages that I am catching up on! and cute cards.

Today’s card is a hidden flap fun fold card and all of the easy to follow directions are below! Hope you try this easy fun fold card soon!

Measurements:
BASE: Pumpkin Pie CS: 4 1/4″ x 8 1/4″
scored at 2 3/4″
scrap larger than 2 1/4″ x 3 3/4″ for die cut
Granny Apple Green CS: 2 3/4″ x 8″
scored at 4″
Basic White CS: 2 1/2″ x 3 3/4″
4″ x 5 1/4″
2 1/2″ x 4″
scrap for die cut figure
Basic Black CS: scraps for bat and house dies

Emboss the 4″ x 5 1/4″ and 2 1/2″ x 4″ pieces of Basic White cardstock with the So Swirly embossing folder.

Stamp the “Don’t Worry, Eat Sweets” sentiment on the smallest piece of Basic White CS. (I actually cut this photopolymer stamp in half instead of stamping one half and then the other – they are super easy to cut and piece back together when I want the longer straight saying in the future)

Score the Granny Apple Green layer in half at 4″ and adhere the stamped layer to the inside of this smaller card.

Die cut the smaller Pumpkin Pie layer with the Textured Notes die set and stamp the “No Tricks ALL TREATS” sentiment in Tuxedo Black Memento ink across the top of the piece.

Adhere the So Swirly embossed pieces to the inside and front flap of the card.

Adhere only the top third of the Pumpkin Pie die piece to the middle of the front flap of the card.

Die cut the Haunted House die in Basic Black scrap and two bats.

Adhere the house and one bat flying over the house about 3/4 of an inch from the bottom of the Granny Apple Green front of the smaller card.

Adhere the smaller Granny Apply Green card to the inside So Swirly embossed layer.

Close the card and make sure that the Pumpkin Pie layer is evenly bordered by the Granny Apple Green layer below.

Stamp Happy Halloween sentiment in Pumpkin Pie ink on the inside flap of the card.
When the card front is closed the Granny APple Green card below should be evenly spaced under the Pumpkin Pie die cut on the front flap.
Die cut one of the super sweet “monsters” from this set and color with watercolor pencils and brush with water to blend the pencil color.

Pop up the focal figure on Stampin’ Dimensionals and place on the Pumpkin Pie die cut below the sentiment.

Add the Frosted Iridescent Dots from the upcoming mini catalog release – available next week to the card front and this adorable Halloween card is finished!

This is a simple fun fold card and I hope you try it with your stash soon – now go and create some artwork of your very own one stamp ata time!

Happy Stampin’
