Halloween Star Gatefold Card Tutorial: A Spooky Fun Fold!
Hello, crafty friends! 🎃 Halloween is almost here, and I’m sure many of you are as excited as I am for the adorable ghosts and goblins set to come knocking. To celebrate, I designed a unique Star Gatefold Halloween card.
Let’s dive into the details of this spooky project and how you can make it your own!
This card is made using the Stampin’ Up! Halloween Memories Scrapbook Kit along with the coordinating Halloween Memories stamp set.
Why This Kit is Perfect for Halloween Cards
The Halloween Memories Scrapbook Kit is such a value-packed resource for seasonal cards. Nearly all the materials for this card, aside from the Basic White cardstock, came from this kit! The included Halloween Specials designer paper is hands-down my favorite for the season – it has just the right balance of whimsy and spookiness. With this kit, you’ll have everything you need to create something special, or you can even buy the papers separately if you want more options.
Free PDF & Video Tutorial Included!
To make this Star Gatefold card easy to recreate, I’ve included a free PDF with detailed measurements, a full supply list, and a helpful template. Whether you’re a new cardmaker or seasoned pro, this PDF will guide you through each step without a hitch.
I’ve created this step-by-step guide for you. It provides detailed measurements, a template and a complete with a clickable list of materials for both the card.
I’ve also included some helpful tips on how to extend your standard 8-1/2” x 11” cardstock to a 12” x 12” size for the card base.
