TURN A BIRDHOUSE INTO A HAUNTED HOUSE
I’m thrilled to share a new card tutorial with you all! This time, I’ve transformed the charming Stampin’ Up Country Birdhouse into a delightfully spooky Haunted House, perfect for the Halloween season. What do you think? I had so much fun creating this card using the Stampin’ Up! Potions & Spells stamps and die bundle. The scaredy cat and spooky words added just the right touch of magic and mischief!
More Details
For this card, I wanted to capture that eerie Halloween vibe, so I used the tall grass edgelit die from the Garden Meadow Dies to create a silhouette of tall, spooky grass. The background was blended with ink pads using Blending Brushes, giving it a hauntingly beautiful gradient effect. The result is a card that’s perfect for Halloween parties, themed cards, or even fall birthdays and events.
Free PDF Tutorial
I’ve put together a comprehensive PDF with step-by-step instructions, measurements, and a complete supply list to make this card. You can find it in the INSTRUCTIONS section below. Plus, I’ve included a video tutorial that shows you how to create the blended background using Blending Brushes. It’s a great way to add depth and dimension to your cards!
