I’ve already shared some other alternate projects using the contents of this kit on September 24th.

  • My variations of the boxes: Elmo, Oscar the Grouch, a chocolate dipped strawberry, and a flower
  • A fancy pumpkin card
  • A simple monochromatic “strip” card
  • And a Halloween-themed 12×12 scrapbook page layout

Today I am sharing a fun Halloween tri-fold card with you. (My design was inspired by a swap card I received from JoAnn Pollock.) It starts out closed like this…

Products I used… See below for a complete list of extra products I used linked to where you can find them in my online store.

Measurements of extra pieces

  • Basic Black Cardstock 
    • 4-1/4″ x 11″ scored parallel to the short side at 5-1/2″
    • 2-1/4″ x 6″ scored parallel to the short side at 1/2″
  • Basic White Cardstock 
    • 4″ x 5-1/4″
  • Cute Halloween Designer Paper (boo design)

  • Cute Halloween Designer Paper (black design)
    • 2″ x 5-1/2″
  • Cute Halloween Designer Paper (house design)
    • 4″ x 5-1/4″

Directions… 

  • Cut three small sections from a wire piece from the kit for the stems of the pumpkins.
  • Cut an orange box down into parts to get 3 taller “oval” sections & 2 shorter six-sided sections. Add black stickers for the faces on all these 5 sections. Sandwich two larger ones back-to-back inserting and adhering a stem. Sandwich two smaller ones back-to-back inserting and adhering a stem
  • Die-cut the 2-1/4″ x 6 black cardstock with the wavy ‘ground’ die. Die-cut the black patterned designer paper piece into two pieces with the wavy ‘ground’ die (one of mine is taller than the other).

  • Open the black 4-1/4″ x 11″ card base. Add the white layer and the “boo” designer paper layer as shown above. Connect the wavy cut black paper to the left. The 1/2″ scored section will be the part that connect in the back.
  • Attach the two sandwiched pumpkins peeking over the top of the wave as shown above. But know that these may need to be adjusted later.
  • Close the right side over. Add the “house” designer paper, the other pumpkin (that is not double-sided) with its stem, and the skinny black designer paper ground.
  • Close the left side over. Add the other black designer paper ground. (You may need to adjust the two pumpkins a bit.)
  • Stamp the sentiment piece, connect it to another tag, add to the front of the card, and add a couple Matte Black Dots to the holes.
  • I added a gift card on the inside. You could tape it in or use a temporary adhesive (or even cut a slit in the designer paper to make a pocket).
