I wanted this year’s card to be different than last year’s, because I’m giving the cards to a lot of the same kids. However, I had a lot of the same supplies to use up, so they ended up being similar!
I used:
- dark purple cardstock (12″ x 12″) – I used my paper cutter to trim these to 4″ x 5.5″ to fit in envelopes
- spooky ribbon to line the bottom of the card
- Recollections “Halloween Boo” ribbon (pack of 5) [Michaels]
- pumpkin letter sticker – but since I’ve run out of a bunch of letters, I didn’t always get to use the first letter of their name (as shown)
- silver metallic Sharpie for the words I wrote on (child’s name and mine)
- printed out spooky-lettered “Happy Halloween!” onto white card stock and rounded two opposite corners before gluing on
- font: Nemo Nightmares [here]
- Martha Stewart corner rounder [Michaels]
- sparkly/gemstone pumpkin sticker [sheet of 25 stickers: Hobby Lobby]
- envelopes – The Paper Studio value pack – 100 white [Hobby Lobby]
- Elmer’s Craft Bond Extra strength glue stick – to affix white “Happy Halloween!” paper
- Elmer’s Craft Bond quick dry dual-tip glue pen (the small side) -to affix ribbon
For the kids whose cards I will mail (not my students), I included a couple of sheets of stickers and a jack-o-lantern eraser. (stickers and erasers from Target – that section in the front where everything is only a few dollars)
I also put a sticker on the back of the envelope.
For the kids whose cards I will hand-deliver (my students), I added stickers to the actual cards and that was that.
the rectangle of green paper is over the student’s name for student’s privacy
If my post inspires you, and you blog about it, I ask that you credit me! Also, I’d love to see it!
