I finally gave in and bought the Creep It Real stamp set. I held out getting it because I “needed” the Spooky Cat bundle and figured I didn’t need another Halloween stamp set but I kept seeing so many fun things that I finally caved and ordered it. Then I saw a card I loved designed by Brian King, I knew I made the right decision. I started playing with Brian’s design while I was working on my shoe box swap for this past weekend’s Team Getaway. I think mine version turned out pretty cute — what do you think?
I love the fold on this card — I call it a swinging gate fold. It reminds me of the old barn doors that opened half top and half bottom. Here’s the card from the side so you can see the fold.
Let’s Make The Card:
Pumpkin Pie – 4 1/4″ x 11″ — score at 5 1/2″ — put the 11″ side across paper trimmer and cut at the score line down 2″ — turn cardstock (4 1/4″ across top) and cut from the score line down at the 2″ — you are taking out a 2″ x 5 1/2″ section of the top of the card
Black – 4″ x 5 1/4″ (inside
Whisper White – 3 7/8″ x 5 1/8″ — stamp Creep It Real at an angle with Memento ink filling the whole sheet
