Halloween Pop Up Tree

Taking a break from Christmas cards...I plug away at just having fun stamping! So..what to break the monotomy...?

Halloween is coming..!
CLOSER than Christmas! So, I thought I would get out my Halloween and get some inspiration from my stamps...

Ok, I looked at them and saw.........Nothing! AAAAHHH!!!



But then, I was checking emails and someone directed me to their blog, which they had photos of the tree cut out in the New Halloween Designer Paper!..OOH my gosh!! (Karen Burniston)
HOW Inspiring! I decided to use Black as my base for my card and then using the colors in the Designer paper, Cast A Spell #115677 $9.95

I used my Halloween stamps - Scary Skeleton, #113244, and Twick or Tweet #116497, Grateful Greetings #116511 (new in the Holiday Mini Occasion Catalog coming soon to your mailbox!) and can be ordered starting September 1st....

The colors are Black, Green Galore, Certainly celery, Orchid Opulence, and Pumpkin Pie






The Pop Up! Tree was cut in Basic Black and the Star in Pumpkin Pie. The pieces are assembled, and I stamped the skeleton on separate pieces of paper and cut out. The tombstone is the tag punch (small and large).

I layered the 2 punched pieces with dimensionals, and mounted the ghosts and the skeleton behind the punched cardstocks. They are both held onto the card using a black strip that was folded in 1/2 and then stuck down with sticky strip tape. The skeleton on the tree, and the pumpkin is adhered to the tree so that when it lays down they are flat too, and then it pops up with the tree.

What can you do with the tree? I think maybe a forest is next in a scrapbook??? So, if you're doing a camping scrapbook page, wouldn't a forest of trees be the coolest thing?
