What happened to September?? It is now officially fall, and the leaves are even starting to fall from the trees, covering our deck, yard, and driveway. Um, I am not in the mindset to rake yet!
However, these are all sure signs that Halloween is just around the corner. I am looking forward to coming up with some cute Halloween card and treat box ideas for my monthly make and take class at work in a few weeks. In the mean time, here is a simple card using the retired Stampin' Up! Home Is Where the Haunt Is stamp set. I love this set because it has a lot of different elements that you can put together in different ways to make completely different scenes.
I used smooth orange Bazzill Basics cardstock from Archiver's and Basic Black Stampin' Up! cardstock for the base and belly band. Its finished size is 4"x5 1/2" (plus a 1" flap on which I rounded the corners). I was able to get three card bases out of one, 12x12 sheet. For the closure, I added two different-sized circles in black and orange, pierced with an orange brad. I used some thin, inexpensive black ribbon from Michaels to wrap around the circles and hold the flap closed (although, I think a thinner black string would work a little easier).
I wish you the best of luck with your ghoulish Halloween creations! Happy haunting :)
