How to make Hybrid Halloween Decor and Cards – Halloween Hybrid Tutorial

I love Deena Rutter’s Superstition D-Cut Shapes!  They images are simple and easy to embellish and use in so many applications.


I used these shapes along with some great Halloween Papers from Jen Allyson’s Halloween Freebie and Robyn Meierotto’s Not So Freaky:

Happy Halloween Cat Plate

  • Trim to two strips 3″ wide, glue strips together to form one long piece of patterned paper.
  • score and fold the middle to form the bottom of the treat pack
  • trim one side to the desired height to form the front (mine is 5 3/4″)
  • fold over the other side to form a flap, trim as needed.
