Bat Card & Envelope by Aimee

Hello 

Just days till Halloween, you still have time to send out some Halloween cards!

Aimee here to show you how to make Samantha’s Bat Card, & Envelope

Cutting the material:

I first opened the envelope file in the silhouette program. I ungrouped the images copying the liner, and opening a new page. I then pasted the liner to the new page. I went back to the original page, deleted the liner then positioned the envelope onto the page. I then cut the envelope from some Kraft cardstock.

Second I opened the bat with moon card. Again I ungrouped the images, copying the square and pasting it on to the page with the liner. I then went back to the card positioned it on the page and cut it from Kraft cardstock.

Third I opened the “May Your Halloween be Spooktacular” sentiment on to the page with the liner and square. I resized the phrase to fit inside the card, and then cut these 3 images out of a thin black paper.

Assembling the Card & Envelope:

The Envelope:

I laid the liner on the inside of the envelope and found where I wanted to adhere it. I then took a ruler and bone folder a scored a line at the crease of the envelope, onto the liner. I then adhered the liner into the envelope. Once the liner dried I folded the envelope at the perforated marks, and adhered it together.

The Card:

I took the square that was cut from the black paper and carefully adhered it to the inside {backside of the moon} of the card. I then folded the card on the perforated line. I then adhered the sentiment inside the card on the right side.

Thanks for stopping by the blog today and hop you enjoyed the card!

Jack-O-Lantern card by Maya

Hello Samantha Walker fans! It is Maya here today. I am going to show you how simple is to make beautiful Halloween card using Samantha Walker cut files. 

While my older kids showing less interest in Halloween, by 5 years old is becoming fascinated by this spooktacular holiday. His favorite thing right now - jack-o-lanters!.  I picked this gorgeous design from Samantha Walker Silhouette online store. 

The design itself is so pretty that I didn't want to add anything else.

That is how it looks like in Silhouette Studio. I cut the card itself from orange cardstock and the square from black glittery cardstock.

I used few pieces of sticky tape to adhere the black square behind the card front.

The card is about 5.75" x 5.75". I used the envelope cut file to cut the matching envelope.

 

I omitted the liner that came with the envelope and instead stamped "Eek" using a stamp from "Boo-tiful Cameos Clear Stamps" set by Samantha.

This card looks adorable on a smaller scale as well. I scaled it down to 80% and cut the card from dark orange glittery cardstock. 

The final size is 4 5/8" x 4 5/8"

Here is the original version and the smaller version side by side with matching envelopes.
