Halloween cards with collage cutouts

As I mentioned in my last post, I made some Halloween while on a recent crafty road trip. I didn’t have anything planned out, unlike my Christmas cards, so I brought a few coordinating supplies to play with: card bases, twine, sequins, two small ink pads, and a package of Photoplay Collage Cutouts for Halloween.

Here are all the pieces I cut out. I love the variety of images in the pack, as well as words and accents like banners and strips. The package had sixteen sheets — two each of eight designs — so I cut up one sheet of each design. Now, I don’t mind fussy cutting, and the images had cutting lines to follow, but my fingers were definitely sore by the time I was done!

With all that work finished, it was time to start creating. In addition to the supplies I brought from home, I also used the 8” x 8” Charcoal Palette Collection papers (Tim Holtz Idea-ology). I’d wanted to get some of Palette Collection papers, so when we hit the scrapbook store during our trip, I couldn’t resist. I picked up a few packs, and the Charcoal one worked perfectly with these images.

Here are the cards I created:

I’m pretty pleased with how these cards turned out. I only brought eight card bases with me, but I probably could have made another eight with all the collage cutouts I had left. Not to mention the rest of the package that I haven’t cut out yet. I guess that means more Halloween cards to come!

Thanks for stopping by!
