BOO! Did I scare you?! Lolz. Today I'm sharing a fabooooolous Halloween Card! It's a little shabby haunted house at 31 Spooky Lane! I'm so excited to share this one! I realize as I'm typing this post that it's very similar to my last post with the beach house... Similar, but very different! This time it's dark and moody, and instead of crabbies, we have some ghosties hanging out in their house. I do really love making this kind of card! You can totally customize the little houses to be whatever you want them to be! Some of you might recognize those green puffy clouds in the background - I posted those on Instagram a while back. I used them as the background for my haunted house.
This card uses stamps and dies from Lawn Fawn! I used the Build A House die to make the haunted house. CLICK HERE to see another card I made with this die - a farmhouse! It's super versatile! Supplies are listed HERE or at the bottom of this post!
The finished card is an A2 card base. I used dark orange as my card base, then layered white and then my top layer with all the images. I created a little scenefull of bats, spiders and ghosts. I love making Halloween Cards!!
My haunted house is made out of cardstock and woodgrain cardstock. I backed the window and door with yellow paper sponged with pumpkin distress ink. The ghosties are die cut out of vellum so they are see through! The hill and scary trees are one die which makes it easy to use! I stamped some flying bats on top of the green cloud background.... SO MUCH FUN!
I did a two step sentiment - something I love to do! Die cut letters and then the stamped words below. And a little ghost flying out of the top!
Here's a good look at my cloud background!! Three shades of green... Clouds can be any color! Especially at Halloweeeeeen.
Here's a side view so you can see how everything is layered. I used liquid glue to attach the ghosts - and tucked them behind things so you don't see the glue. Vellum can sometimes be a bit tricky like that.
I used an alphabet stamp set to stamp 31 on the house for the address... I stamped some bats on the inside of the card too.
Even though it's still hot here, I've been decorating the house for Autumn! Here is my tiered tray for Fall! It's on display in our entry way and each time I pass by it I smile!! I'm ready indeed!!
Thanks for coming by today! Hope I didn't scare ya! Fall is my very favorite crafting time. I'm hoping to make tons of things this year to share! Hope you have a great day! I'll be back soon with more fall cards, and some Christmas cards! (Yes this time of year is weird like that!) XOXO

Fall is my favorite season so I'm so happy to see your card making and your decorating for this season. I can tell just by your background that you love collecting halloween and fall items. I love the card, I'll have to go take a look at the lawn fawn house die, and I love the green clouds sky. Thank you.

Lawn Fawn has some excellent new things out!! I too am a Fall lover and this build-a-house is so perfect for this haunted house. Love the ghosts and that 31 for the house number, genius... I know the heat has been awful out there, we are only going to make 62 today and it is raining real hard. The things you need in Cali, I wish I could send them to you my friend. Stay safe!
