Halloween parade (of cards)

Happy Halloween! I don't always make a lot of Halloween cards; usually just enough to send to a few friends and family members. But this year I decided to make extra so I could also send cards to my young cousins. (I even mailed them all separately so they each got their own piece of mail to open. It was always so fun getting something actually addressed to me when I was a kid.) I got them all mailed last week, and I was hoping to post them on my blog before Halloween. But October is a busy month for me, so here we are. While it's a little late for this year, maybe they will give you an idea or two to tuck away for next Halloween.

Most of these cards are fairly simple and kid-friendly, but I think they're still pretty cute. I'll just list the supplies for this parade of cards, so if you have any questions, please leave me a comment below.
