I know it may seem early for Halloween cards, but since I needed to create 170 of them, I started early this year! I chose a card design by Lori Whitlock called A2 Curved Pop Up Card and modified it to be a Halloween card (hers was a floral-themed Mother's Day card). I used some Halloween fireworks card stock for the background and then created a print and cut sentiment for the front using Fresh Mix font. I chose some coordinating card stock patterns for the bendy mechanisms and sized up 4 donuts from a full color Halloween treat font to create my focal point. I did a print and cut of the donuts and adhered them to the inner pop up mechanism using Art Glitter liquid glue.
For the back of the card, I used a fun "Eat, Drink, and be Scary" sentiment from the Silhouette Design store. For the envelope, I used another file from the Silhouette Design Store and printed it on my envelopes. I don't care for candy corn, but I couldn't resist that fun sentiment!
