We know Halloween's supposed to be scary, but these prints are just adorable!
Trick Or Treat
A massive thank you to Jane Farnham for these spook-tacular papers, just in time for Halloween crafting. Trick Or Treat is the theme, so expect epic fancy dress costumes, haunted houses, pumpkins, and enough sweets to give you a sugar high. Included in your pull-out pack are five borders and five sentiments, plus background prints that will make larger focals stand out brilliantly. All treats and no tricks, that’s for sure!
Sarah Jackman Read shies away from basic card folds, instead choosing to make stepper, tunnel and half-front varieties – what joy! Learn just how simple those techniques can be, then move on to the home décor tutorials. Create a fang-tastic sweet-collecting basket (no template required!) and a tealight holder that emits a lovely glow thanks to orange-tinted acetate.
TUNNEL CARD
1 Trim three pieces of black card to 14.5cm square. Cover one panel with haunted house paper. Cover another with sweet paper, then die cut an 8cm circle through it, slightly towards the top.
2 Layer star paper, 13.5cm square, onto orange card and fix to the final black card square. Die cut a 10cm circle in the centre. Matt a 14.5cm long bat border onto black card and adhere towards the bottom.
3 Cut out a cat and trick or treater, then attach around the aperture on the star paper. Layer ‘Happy Halloween’ onto black and secure to the bat border with 3D foam pads.
4 Snip a pumpkin and adhere to the bottom of the other circular aperture. Trim two bats, fix to strips of acetate, then attach so they’re suspended within the aperture.
5 Trim four pieces of black card to 4cm x 14.5cm. Score down from the short edge at 1cm, 2cm and 3cm, then concertina fold. Run double-sided tape down the sides of each piece. Attach two pieces down the sides of the haunted house paper, then stick the sweet paper on top.
6 Fix the other two folded pieces down the sides of the sweet paper, then secure the star paper on top. Adhere a baker’s twine bow with a button to the top of the aperture, before finishing with green dome stickers.
STAND-OUT STEPPER
1 Create a 12cm x 16cm top-folding black blank. Trim black card to 12cm x 13cm, then score down from the long edge at 6cm and 12cm. Adhere the flap to the bottom of the blank. Mountain fold the other score line to create a stepper card.
2 Matt haunted house paper, 11cm x 15cm, onto orange card and fix to the back panel. Layer two pieces of contrasting paper, 5cm x 11cm, onto orange card, then secure to the other panels.
