Fall Scenes & Too Cute To Spook Card with Amanda

Hey, hey, crafty friends, Amanda here! Halloween is just around the corner, and I'm celebrating with this fun card I created! I'm here to explain how I made it so you can get inspired to make something crafty today!

First, I created an A2 card base out of white cardstock. I trimmed the cardstock to 5.5" x 8.5" and then scored it at 4.25". I, then, folded it on the score line. Next, I pulled out my Critter Country Paper. This pack is full of beautiful fall colors and patterns! I trimeed the orange polka-dot date paper down to 4" x 5.25" and then glued it directly to my card base.

I also pulled out the dark orange polka dot paper, the pumpkin pattern paper, and the green plaid paper. I ran the pumpkin paper through my die cutting machine with the large notebook paper die from the Notebook Photo Corners Die. I also cut a plain piece of white cardstock with this die as well. I cut the photo corners out of the dark orange paper. I created the tab from the green plaid paper with the Notebook Tabs Dies.

Next, I trimmed a piece of white cardstock to 3 - 3/8" x 2 - 5/8". On this panel, I stamped the Fall Scenes background stamp. I also stamped the "trick or treat" from the Too Cute To Spook Stamps on a separate small piece of white cardstock with my MISTI.

Then, it was time to color! I used Copic markers to color my scene and here are the markers I used:

• Grass: YG00, YG21, YG23, YG25, YG17
• All Orange spots:  YR04, YR09
• Lights: Y13
• House: N4, N5, N7
• Concrete: C1, C2, C4
• Sky: B41
• Critter: E35, E25, E27, E29, YG23, YG 25, W3, W5, W7, N9, RV21, V05

I also added some white highlights to the little bear with a white Gelly Roll pen. I used the Too Cute to Spook Dies to cut out my little costumed friend. Next, I arranged everything as I wanted it on the card and started adhering the pieces together! I used foam squares, tape, and liquid glue to assemble everything.

I love all the layers to this card and that sweet little bear in his costume! Hopefully, you're feeling inspired to make a card yourself! Have fun!
