Yeah I couldn't stop playing with the Halloween patterned papers so I made a couple more "Halloween" cards - again without any stamps - and other than the one paper that has the speech bubbles with Halloween sayings these cards really don't have much to do with Halloween other than the colors. I'm thinking cards like this would be great for teen/tween's.....
FYI these patterned papers are no longer available - they came out a couple of years ago for the 2011 Halloween season. But they were in the container and caught my eye when I was making the last Halloween cards that I posted so I had to use them! ;)
I also like that with a few different patterned papers and a few different colors of cardstock and these Blueprints Die-namics you can make a LOT of different cards. Some of the layouts (like these 2) don't need stamps at all - it's just playing around with patterns and color. So taking out the stamp part of it *might* help out those who struggle to incorporate patterned paper in their cards as it's one less thing to worry about!
Here's the first card I made:
I used MFT's Blueprints 7 Die-namics for this one - and followed one of the layouts they provide:
This made a 5" square card.
On the inside I used a few of the dies from the Blueprints 7 set - the purple patterned paper is simple enough that it can be written on with a ball point pen and be legible ;).
I made a matching envelope while I was at it - one of the perks of working with 12x12 patterned papers is having paper big enough to do that.
Now here's the card I filmed a video for:
For this one I used the Blueprints 8 Die-namics and followed one of MFT's provided layouts (altering it just a tad by adding that piece of green patterned paper - I mention more about that in the video):
This is also a 5" square card.
This one could definitely be an "any occasion" card.
Again more die-namics for the inside - the stars were perfect for this paper choice LOL!
And I made an envelope too for this one which I show in the video:
