Stampin’ Up! Bag of Bones Halloween Note Cards for the Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop

Good Morning! Welcome to the September Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop! The theme for this month’s hop is “Halloween Fun” and the Stampin’ Up! Bag of Bones bundle fits the bill perfectly with all the skeletons and costumes! And I used the bundle with the fun Them Bones designer series paper and Basic White Note Cards and Envelopes to make a simple set of note cards. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post and I included the card stock cuts in the description of each card

One of the designs in the Them Bones DSP pack is a multi panel sheet with cute backgrounds that I cut up and adhered to the front of a Basic White note card. I then decorated it with the wonderful glow in the dark embellishments and designer series paper die cuts – yes the Stampin’ Up! Bag of Bones dies can be used to cut out the DSP! Here are the note cards that I made.

Here is the multiple panel sheet of Them Bones designer series paper. I started by cutting each panel out with my paper trimmer. One of the coolest things about this DSP is that the houndstooth like plaid pattern is actually little bats and they match one of the little bat stamps!

For the first card, I trimmed the ‘Boo‘ panel to 2-3/4″ x 4″ and adhered it to a Starry Sky striped 3″ x 4-1/4″ panel before adhering it to the front of the note card. I decorated it with some glow in the dark bat embellishments and stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Bag of Bones stamp set in Starry Sky ink on the inside.

For this card, I cut the fence panel in half and used the right side with the moon, trimming it to 3″ x 4-3/4″ before adhering it to the note card. I die cut a skeleton dog and cat from another panel of the DSP and adhered to the card. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Bag of Bones stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on a 1-1/2″ x 1-1/2″ Pumpkin Pie panel and cut it out with the second largest banner from the Nested Essentials dies. I adhered it to the card and finished it with glow in the dark bats and ghosts. I stamped bats in Memento Tuxedo Black the top corner of the inside.

I trimmed the spotlight panel to 3″ x 4-1/2″ and adhered it to the front of a note card. I used the Stampin’ Up! Bag of Bones skeleton die to cut a DSP skeleton and adhered it to the panel. I stamped the sentiment in Memento Tuxedo Black on Pumpkin Pie and cut it out with the second smallest circle from the Stylish Shapes dies. I ahdered it to the card and finished with glow in the dark ghosts. I stamped bats in the top corner of the inside and found half a skeleton at the bottom of the DSP and cut it out to adhere to the bottom corner.

I fussy cut some gravestones from a pannel of Them Bones DSP and adhered it to the left side of the fence panel that I split. I should have picked up some glow in the dark paper (it’s expected to be back in stock at the beginning of October), but I didn’t. So I used the moon and stars die from the Stampin’ Up! Bag of Bones dies to cut a 1-1/2″ x 1-1/2″ panel of white Textured Shimmer paper (I remembered to put adhesive sheets behind it first). I adhered the decorated panel to a note card and finished it with glow in the dark ghosts. I stamped the sentiment in Memento Tuxedo Black on the inside and adhered another fussy cut gravestone to the bottom.

This was the easiest – I trimmed the ‘Trick or Treat‘ panel to 3″ x 4-1/2″, adhered it to the front of a note card and adhered some glow in the dark bats. I stamped some bats on the inside and decided to use the Mini Pocket Envelope dies to make a gift card pocked with a 4-3/4″ x 5-3/4″ DSP panel. This make quick fun gift card holder – definitely a treat!

No, this was the easiest. I trimmed the cat and gravestone panel to 3″ x 4-1/2″ and adhered it to the front of a note card. I adhered glow in the dark bats and a ghost to the front and stamped the sentiment in Pumpkin Pie on the inside. My stamp pad needs re-inking, so the color is uneven, but it goes with the ghostly Halloween theme!

See how great those glow in the dark embellishments work?

These note cards were such a fun project and would be great for quick greetings or gifts for co-workers, friends and family. This would also be a fun project to make with children!
