Halloween Card File

Hello friends! 

I love making idea-ology Halloween Card Files each year (this is probably my 3 or 4th one!). This year's Card File is a bit different, in that I was inspired by two Stampers Anonymous stamp sets: Deconstructed (CMS489) and Tidbits (CMS488) that came to market mid summer. I was absolutely intrigued by the idea of a very freeform card file with ripped Halloween Collage Paper and ink that was loose and watery. 

Starting on Monday, October 7th I will be sharing instructions and

images of the cards that make up this Halloween Card File.

There are seven types of cards and pockets in the file. Each type has three examples. In this series of daily posts, we will go over all 21 cards that fill the Card File. Prep day will start on Monday the 7th and we will continue daily from there. If you don't want to follow along, you can come back to the blog at your leisure to see the entire series, then work at your own pace.

Here is a preview of many of the cards you can make. You can use what you have on hand or you can use the list and links below to grab a few things you might need. 

The only thing I can think of that is not on the list below is the 1/4" rayon ribbon. I buy it on Etsy from RibbonsByZipperstop and dye it myself with Distress Ink. The ribbon (or really any other product) can always be substituted for another of a similar size.

Here is a list of what I used to create my card file. You are welcome use whatever product or stamps you have on hand.
