Gettin’ Groovy with a Simple Potions & Spells Halloween Card

Create this center lift fun fold halloween cauldron card with the potions and spells bundle by stampin up! Mary Fish, Stampin' Pretty

The foundation of this simple Halloween card is the Stampin’ Up! Potions & Spells stamp set and dies.  The “groovy” feel comes from the swirls added to the cauldron with the Swirly Embossing Folder (one of My Favorite Things) and the layers of Petunia Pop and Smoky Slate “drips.”  Purchase Potions & Spells stamp set and dies as a bundle and save 10%!  Available now as an on-line exclusive.

WHAT I LOVE!  How about those black die cut bubbles? They are modern and fun and each gets a quick and easy dash of sparkle from the Stampin’ Up! Rhinestone Basic Jewels.

how to make this simple card:

Burnish the fold of the Basic White Thick card base with a Bone Folder.

Layer and adhere the Designer Series Paper, Basic Black and Petunia Pop layers together and to the card base with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Wrap with Petunia Pop 3/8″ Bordered Ribbon, securing on the left with a bow as shown.

Zip the Basic Black layer through a Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine (Standard) tucked inside the So Swirly Embossing Folder.

Use a Mini MISTI stamp tool to position and stamp the sentiment (Potions and Spells stamp set) in Tuxedo Black Memento ink onto the Petunia Pop layer. Watch my 1 Minute to WOW video: The Magic of the Mini MISTI for a quick product demonstration here.

Crop the following with a  Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine (Standard) and the Potions and Spells dies:

  • Basic Black Embossed layer – cauldron
  • Basic Black layer – bubbles
  • Petunia Pop and Smoky Slate layers – drips

Crop the sentiment with a Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine (Standard or Mini) and the Happy Little Things label die.

Snip off the flagged end on the left side with Paper Snips.

Adhere the cauldron to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Adhere the bubbles to the card with Multipurpose Liquid Glue (4) and Stampin’ Dimensionals (2).

Adhere the sentiment as shown with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.

POP OF PERSONALITY!  Embellish the bubbles with Rhinestone Basic Jewels.

PERFECT POLISH! Adhere the 5 3/4 x 3 Designer Series Paper to the Basic White Medium envelope flap with Multipurpose Liquid Glue. PRETTY TIP! Add glue to the flap first, not the Designer Series Paper. Center and line up the Around the Bend curved edge die, tape to secure (Post-It Tape) and crop with a Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine (Standard). Watch my Stampin’ Pretty WOW Video here.
