Kid's Halloween Crafts - Easy Cards Using Basic Shapes

Design Team member Kate is back with some simple but fun ideas for Halloween handmade cards.  These three different card ideas use simple shapes making it easy for anyone to make, young or old. Grab some of your favorite cardstock and try out these kid's Halloween crafts!

For this card, Kate used a Halloween embossing folder to emboss a background panel to create her ghost cards. Three circles make each of the eyes and a larger oval makes for the open mouth. So easy even a toddler can do it if you prep the pieces for them!

For her next card, Kate placed a triangle cut on top of an oval cut to form the witches hats.  Small scraps of Glitter Luxe glitter cardstock were used to decorate each hat. Don't forget to use stripes, swirls or dots to decorate the hats, too!  

Kate even added little "Jack Skellington" shaker bits for the centers of the orange flowers.  You can find these in our Halloween Shaker Bits kit. 

You can decorate each hat in so many ways so get creative! She added three hats and a sentiment to make this fun Halloween card.

Here is another really great card that kids will love. With just circles for the eyes and teeth, the possibilities are endless.  You could step up this card with an embossing folder to add texture to his "skin".  You could also change the shape of the teeth to triangles to give the monster a different look.  Kate used different sized circles for the eyes to give him a playful look.  

To create the mouth, Kate traced a half circle to create the upper "lip".  She used her largest circle die and hand trimmed it.   

Then add your circle eyes and just like that you have a fun monster handmade card!

When you're on the hunt for some fun Halloween crafts for kids, simple and easy is the way to go. Now you'll have fun cards to give to friends and family with a special homemade touch! Which card will you try first?
