Halloween Platform Pop Up Card


Here is the October edition to my monthly series "Platform Pop Up Cards". I created the Platform Pop Up base using the fun patterned paper (Doodlebug Designs) then adhered the Add On cut from black card stock. I used the included layering dies and a different patterned paper to decorate the Add On backing piece as well as a few black punched clouds. 




The pumpkin is also from Lawn Fawn - I have had it for a couple of years and I like that the face is separate so it doesn't have to be a Jack O Lantern if I want just a pumpkin. 😊  The stickers on the center front, as well as the ephemera are also from Doodlebug.


I added a small signing block to the back as well as one of the 2" square cut-aparts that were on one of the sheets in the Doodlebug package.


Below you can see how flat the card folds down for mailing!


Having been asked how many cards I make I thought it would be fun to keep track this year. Many of my posts include more than a single card or project and below is my tally.
