Life is Beautiful Halloween card; masking & bats galore!


Fall is in the air around here in North Dakota.  Each week it's getting cooler, the leaves are changing and it's getting dark so early! That means Halloween is coming soon!

I was creating squares for a Halloween framed sampler for a Team swap (see this post) and had an extra one. So I decided to create a card with it.   

To make the square I first stamped the tree image from Life is Beautiful onto a 2 3/4" piece of White CS using Smoky Slate ink.  Then I used a 1 1/2" mask over the center and sponged on Pretty Peacock ink.  Next I placed the window/mask over the sponged area and added Cajun Craze ink in the 'hole' to create the moon.   It's layered onto a 2 7/8" piece of Whisper White CS.

Other details:

  • The bats are fussy cut from the Magic in This Night Designer paper.  I did sponge the edges with Black ink. 
  • The greeting is from the Banner Year stamp set and is on a Tasteful Labels die-cut. 
  • The main card is Cajun Craze and the designer paper strip is 2" X 5 1/2" 

I can't wait for you to see the amazing Halloween samplers tomorrow!

  • Holiday Shaker card with video tutorial & free project sheet!


    I shared these super fun shaker cards on last week's video. They were one of our November card club projects. 

    The colors include Pool Party, White & Real Red.  The penguin and tree were fussy cut but some of the dies in the Snowy Wonder bundle cut out the printed elements from the Snowy Scenes designer paper. The greeting die are from the Countryside Corners dies. 

    Below you can see how you assemble the shaker card. We used the Pool Party window layer to position the snowman die-cut on the Red card base. Then we stamped the Pool Party layer with snowflakes. Next lay your shaker elements on that as shown below.

    Add the window sheet to the back of your window, then add our Adhesive Strips close to the opening; do not leave any gaps! Add a few supporting adhesive strips as well.  Then remove the paper backing from the strips and turn it over and add over the snowman layer matching the window with the snowman die-cut. Press down well to get a good seal.  Shake!

    My shaker bits include retired loose sequins and the White Loose Snowflakes available here.  We added a few to the front of the card as well. 

    Get the free project sheet here. Click on the following link to print or download. Download Snowy Scenes November 2024

    The stamped elements are all from the Snowy Wonder stamp set. The snow globe dies are wonderful and match the two different designer paper snow globes wonderfully!  

    Click on the video below to see how it's made.  I also share a second type of shaker card that's even easier!  I hope you watch and follow me on both YouTube and my Facebook page.
