Jack-o'-lantern card and Video

Hello! Jen here today with a trio of fun and simple Halloween cards that use our awesome three piece Jack-o'-lantern Stencil Set

The three layers included with the  Jack-o'-lantern Stencil Set make it super easy to create a 3 color pattern. Each stencil layer also has etching of the opposite layer, making it easy to line up with what you have already inked up. 

For my first card today (shown above), I used all three layers to create a jack-o'lantern pattern onto a piece of white Bristol paper that was trimmed to 2 7/8" wide by 4 1/8" tall. This size fits perfectly inside the stitched edge on the die cut rectangle from our Frames & Flags Die Set. I also cut out the black banner using the Frames & Flags Die Set and stamped and embossed the "Happy Halloween" sentiment onto the banner from the Spiderweb Oval Stamp Set! A bit of twine finishes the card off nicely. 

For my second card I used just the first two layers of the Jack-o'-lantern Stencil Set and left off the scary pumpkin faces to create a fall card:

This card was created exactly the same as the first card. The layout is the same but I used rust colored cardstock for the die cut rectangle and chocolate brown on the banner from our Frames & Flags Die Set. For the sentiment on this card I used a sentiment from our Autumn Oval Stamp Set.

For my third card, I used ONLY the third stencil (with the scary faces) from the Jack-o'-lantern Stencil Set:

On this card I used white texture paste over a piece of black cardstock for a scary background pattern! Then I used orange and yellow cardstock for the stitched rectangle and banner, cut out again with the Frames & Flags Die Set. The sentiment "Happy Haunting" is from the Spiderweb Oval Stamp Set.

Isn't it fun how you can use the same stencil set and layout to create three different cards!? 

Here is a video I created showing you how to create these cards! Enjoy!
