Have Fun With Halloween Cards

Halloween greeting cards are such fun. The bright colors have wonderful eye appeal, and who doesn't love the scary, creepy shapes and images that we see at this time of the year? If you don't want to buy your own, it's surprisingly easy to make your own Halloween greeting cards. This lens talks about how to do that.

Countdown to Halloween

Halloween: October 31, 2012

Why Not Make Your Own Halloween Cards?

Certainly you can buy a great assortment of ready made cards, but why not get your creative juices flowing and make your own?

All you need is some card stock in a few fall colors, scissors or a paper cutter, glues or adhesives and something to decorate your Halloween cards.

If you have a computer, you can find Halloween clip art readily. Print it out into a pleasing design, perhaps using white or cream colored paper. You can layer this on your colored card stock.

If you'd rather do everything by hand instead of using digital art, try drawing your own design, or use scrapbook supplies to create an aesthetic shape.

As for finding a sentiment to print on your card, try the ones that you find further down in this page, or run an Internet search for "Halloween quotes." You will find plenty of choices to work with.

Easy to Make Halloween Cards

Halloween Cards

This brightly colored hand made card is made with black and orange card stock, scrapbook paper and a rubber stamp and dye ink. The pumpkins are stuffed with cotton batting to give them dimension.

Halloween Card with Die Cut Witch

Easy to Make

Halloween Card With Witch

This card is so easy to make. You need two colors of card stock I used orange and black. You need some scrapbook paper or other paper with a Halloween theme, a sticker for the bottom left hand corner (eg the bat) and a die cut for the main embellishment.

You can purchase die cuts in most scrapbooking stores or craft stores, if you don't have a machine to cut your own.

I made the die cut witch on this card using the Cricut Expression Personal Electronic Cutter 290300. I used the Cricut Cartridge, A Child's Year for the witch.

I attached the witch using foam tape to give her a three-dimensional appearance.

Other than that, you will need scissors or paper cutting tools and adhesives to put your card together.
