Halloween - Right as Rain

Spellbinders | Charming Halloween Card

Hello! Today, I’m sharing a playful Halloween card created with the Small Die of the Month for September from Spellbinders. A black cat peeks out from a pumpkin while friendly ghosts float nearby, surrounded by colorful flowers. This combination of classic Halloween icons with soft floral details makes for a card that’s charming and spooky.

- Dry-emboss Waterfall cardstock with the Tiny Dots folder and add to an A2-size card base.
- Cut Bristol paper with the Small Die set and color with Distress Oxide inks. Assemble.
- Stamp and cut the sentiment with the September Stamp & Die of the Month.
- Add assembled items to prepared card base with glue and foam adhesive.

Hero Arts | Season’s Creepings

Hello! For my second card with the Boo to You die set from Hero Arts, I wanted to show how patterned paper can do the heavy lifting when creating a background. I chose a spooky yet playful haunted house design and placed the die-cut ghosts floating in the scene. The stamped sentiment “Season’s Creepings” ties everything together for a fun Halloween greeting. Using patterned paper like this sets the mood instantly, without needing to build an entire scene from scratch.

- Create 5″ x 7″ card base and cover with patterned paper.
- Cut ghosts and hat with dies in the Boo to You set. Assemble.
- Stamp sentiment in black on white cardstock. Cut with the coordinating die in the set.
- Add assembled ghosts to the base with foam squares and the sentiment with adhesive.

With the scene already built into the patterned paper, this card comes together quickly and easily. You can see my first card created with products in the Hocus Pocus Collection HERE.

Spellbinders | A Ghostly Twist

Hello! Sometimes the best card ideas come from looking at supplies in a new way. I thought it would be fun to pair supplies from Spellbinders, a ghost with a house die set originally designed for Christmas. I’m sure I’m not the first to turn this townhome into a haunted house, but it was such a delight to see how easily it shifted seasons. A BetterPress sentiment finished the scene.

You can see the Christmas card created with the City Holiday set HERE and the card with the Boo Crew set HERE.

- Cover a 5″ x 7″ card base with patterned paper. (I used a piece from the Simple Stories Spooky Things pad.)
- Cut the City Holiday building and cat from a variety of cardstock colors and assemble.
- Cut the ghost from a variety of cardstock colors and assemble.
- Press the sentiment in black on white cardstock and cut with the coordinating die set.
- Add assembled house, ghost, and sentiment to the prepared card base.

Hero Arts | Hocus Pocus Collection

Hello! Halloween crafting doesn’t always have to be spooky—it can be sweet and playful, too! Today I’m sharing a card I created with the Hero Arts Hocus Pocus Collection. Using the Boo to You die set along with the Scattered Stars stencil set, I put together a cheerful Halloween design. The smiling ghosts and the BetterPress sentiment “You’re Wicked Cute” bring a lighthearted twist to the season’s festivities, perfect for sending smiles instead of scares.

- Stencil a purple cardstock panel with the Scattered Stars stencil set using white ink, VersaMark ink, and gold paste for the three layers. Allow each layer to dry before applying the next one. Once the stenciling is complete, add to an A2-size card base.
- Press the sentiment on white cardstock with the set. Cut with the coordinating die.
- With the Boo to You die set, cut the ghosts, hat, and broom from cardstock. Assemble.
- Add ghosts and sentiment to the prepared card base.
