Want a dead easy Halloween card to make?
Now I agree, normally we don’t like to use the word ‘dead’ and “easy’ in the same sentence, but you’re going to love how quick this card is to craft up.
It will take HOURS off your crafting time!
So if you’re like me and you’ve got a couple more Halloween cards to get out the door and in the mail, this is your ticket!
Let’s see how cool this one is, all with patterned paper (well almost all!)
Are you a fan of Halloween cards too? (If yes, this one has a cool technique…and a super cute frog!) It’s how you can WOW them with the easiest watercolour background!
Card Making is Fast & Fun with Pre-printed Designer Series Paper
This is the back of one of the 6 designs in the Them Bones patterned paper pack.
(I used the one in the top left of the photo.
The mix of colours on this one is great for Hallowe’en. Starry Sky, Smoky Slate, Cajun Carze, Pumpkin Pie and Basic Black. Everything you need for a tombstone motif!
Out of one package of paper, you can get 12 cards (!) with an image like this one. Hopefully that’s enough for all your friends!
(And as of the date I’m writing this post, you still have time to get the paper delivered and make the cards! Bonus!)
All you need is a couple colours of ink and the Throughout the Year stamp set and your greeting will come to life in mere minutes!
How’d I do the greeting?
It was actually a cinch to make as I’d already stamped the greetings for my peek through Halloween Treat Boxes. So they were sitting there in my stamp case just waiting for me to cut them out and adhere.
There’s no two ways about it!
Working with patterned paper that has images built right in can take hours off your card making!

To make this card with the exact same supplies I did, just click here to pin, print or order it. Thanks a bunch for picking me as your Stampin’ Up! demonstrator in Canada!
But I’m curious. Some folks hesitate to send out a card like this because they didn’t stamp the tombstones. Let me know if you would send out a card with images on it like this one.
