Spidery Wreath Halloween Card

 I'm not a big fan of spiders, but I'm a HUGE fan of the Cottage Wreaths bundle. I've already made many Christmas cards and fall cards with it and, for this video, I am creating a Halloween card. The measurements below are for the end result. I began with a larger piece of Very Vanilla but made a boo boo (no pun intended) and had to cut it down. I like the end product better!

Measurements

• Pumpkin Pie card base (5-1/2" x 8-1/2", scored and folded at 4-1/4")
• Basic Black cardstock (3-1/8" x 4-1/2")
• Very Vanilla cardstock (3" x 4-3/8", 3-3/4" x 5", scrap)

Directions

1. Begin by stamping the leafy wreath in Pumpkin Pie ink onto the 3-1/8" x 4-1/2" Very Vanilla layer.
2. Stamp the twiggy wreath over the top using Tuxedo Black ink.
3. On the scrap piece of Very Vanilla, stamp the spider using Tuxedo Black ink.
4. Die cut the spider and, at the same time, die cut the detailed bow from the center of the Basic Black layer.
5. Stamp "Boo!" several times in a wavy pattern near the bottom of the card, alternating colors. Hint: Start with the center Boo! in Tuxedo Black, then stamp an orange Boo! on both sides, then a final black one on each side.
6. Round the edges of the bow with your fingers and adhere to the wreath using mini dimensionals. I used regular ones in my video, but the black mini dimensionals are a better choice.
7. Adhere the spider die cut to the area inside the wreath using liquid glue.
8. With a Smoky Slate Stampin' Write marker, draw a strand of spider silk to make it look like the spider has dropped from the bow area.
9. Using Pumpkin Pie ink, stamp a spider randomly over the card front, concentrating on only the area that will show.
10. Adhere the stamped Very Vanilla layer to the Basic Black layer and then to the card base using dimensionals.
11. On the 3-3/4" x 5" Very Vanilla layer, stamp spiders in Tuxedo Black going down the righthand edge. Adhere to the inside of the card. (Repeat on the envelope if desired)
12. Add Black Matte Dots to the wreath on the front of the card.
