Just A Few Basic Halloween Cards...

Happy Sunday! I have a few, very simple Halloween cards to share with yall today. I was cleaning up my scrappy space the other day and realized I haven't done any stamping in a long while. So I decided that I needed to pull out a few of my Halloween stamps and use them. I wanted to make some basic Halloween cards to send out to our friends/family. So I used a pattern from 'Sheetload Full Of Cards' blogspot. I have had the templates for these for some time, but haven't used them. 'Sheetload of Cards' gives you a template/instructions to make a certain number of cards using minimal papers. For example, for the template I used, a maximum of 6 cards (basic A2 size) can be made using 2 sheets of patterned paper and 3 sheets of solid cardstock. If you would like to check out some of these, go HERE. All patterns can be downloaded at 4shared and those are HERE. I used the 'September 2008' template for my cards. Although this pattern makes 6 cards, I only made 4. I'll save the leftovers for later. Another great thing about using these patterns is that you have plenty of scraps leftover...these are great for decorating the inside of the card.
