Fun Fold Friday-Scary Cute Halloween Card

 

Halloween is just around the corner! Have you made your cards yet? This is my last Halloween card I'll make for the season and hope you just love all of the extra details on it that make it great!!! This card was 100% inspired by Tarabeth Stamps.  I just changed up the colors I used and added some more embellishments. 

I used the Scary Cute Bundle (stamp set and dies) to make this card. I just love how the image on the bottom is like the peek-a-boo to the inside of the card as well. You can make this layout of a fun fold with almost any set. I just measured the stamped image I wanted to use and subtracted that from the front of the cardbase. For this one it was 1 1/4 off the cardbase. 

Be sure to stamp the inside center for a bonus message! 

You can make this card too when you order all your supplies from my online store!
