Two Old Bats Halloween Challenge - Oct. 2020

Hello friends.  There's a new challenge in town started by the lovely ladies from the Double D Challenge and it's exclusively about HALLOWEEN, and called the Two Old Bats Halloween Challenge.  It's going to be around every month and will be anything goes as long as it's Halloween related!

I'm going to share the two cards I made for two of my grandbabies (the 3rd grandbaby is literally a baby (7 weeks old) and I will share her card next month) using a Double Z Fold technique...


Here they both are folded flat.  Just about everything I used on these cards are from SU! including the DSP (Spooky Night), the spider web embossing folder, the little spider tag, and the cat word stamp on the inside.




This one is going to my granddaughter, and she just loves cats, so I think this will make her smile!  This technique is a great way to use of scraps of DSP and is so simple to do!  It's basically a 11 x 4 1/4 piece of cardstock that you score in half (5 1/2) and then score again at 2 3/4.  The strip piece is also 11 inches long and scored at 5 1/2 and again at 2 3/4 and attached the opposite direction from card base piece.  The strip can be any width you like...mine measured at 1 1/2.



This one will be going to my grandson who loves anything with wheels!!  Figured a truck filled with pumpkins would fit the bill nicely and not be too scary for a 3 year old!  

Here is the mood board Darlene and Diane have for inspiration for this challenge...


Obviously I was inspired by the cat and the pumpkins, but again, anything Halloween goes.  This challenge is open till the 28th and you can play along right HERE.

Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!

    Thanks for the info on the new challenge! I'll keep it in mind, too. Your cards are fabby, btw! I don't know if I'd have the patience to fold like you've done, but I just might give it a try. I'll be texting your link to my sister who will go completely gaga over your cards (she doesn't blog though...and she should!). That little kitty is darling and that truck is uber cool. Love 'em! Stay safe. xo Bev

    Well, how do you like that! Great paper and stamps, beautifully designed. Cool fold and this is the first time I really paid attention to how it's actually done. I don't do many cool folds, but I'm bookmarking this because your explanation makes it so easy. Thanks for that and for sharing with us at Two Old Bats Halloween challenge!
