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.
Spellbinders | Boo Crew Halloween Card
Hello! Halloween will be here before we know it. I’m getting a head start on spooky crafting with a die-cut-only card made using the Boo Crew set by Simon Hurley, which features three playful ghosts, each with a distinctive personality. This whimsical die set is part of the Spooktacular Collection from Spellbinders and includes everything you need to build a charming Halloween scene—no stamping required! The set is relatively simple to assemble, making it a great choice for new cardmakers looking to create something fun and festive for Halloween.
-
- Create an A2-size card base and cover with patterned paper. It’s easy to change up the look just by swapping in different patterned papers, making it versatile for a variety of Halloween styles.
- With the Boo Crew set, cut ghosts, their accessories, and sentiment from a variety of cardstock colors. Assemble.
- Add elements to card base with glue and foam adhesive.
Hero Arts | Halloween Gallery Wall
Hello! If you’ve ever thought about decorating a gallery wall for Halloween, why not bring that idea to a handmade card? For this playful project, I used a collection of Halloween-themed dies from the Hero Arts August 2025 Die Set of the Month—Haunted Gallery—to create a wall of framed icons including a witch, her pointy shoe, a ghost, and a curious black cat. The background is an aptly themed patterned paper, and the card is finished with the BetterPress sentiment “Sending Spooky Hugs.”
-
- Cover A2-size card base with Halloween-themed pattern paper.With the die set, cut elements for the gallery wall from a variety of cardstock colors and textures. I used a restrained palette of gold, silver, black, white, and vellum to keep the design cohesive. Assemble.
- Press the sentiment and cut with the coordinating die.
- Adhere elements to the card base.
Spellbinders | Beads of Friendship Collection
Hello! I’m thrilled to be a guest on the Spellbinders blog sharing three cards created with the Beads of Friendship Collection at Spellbinders. Inspired by Taylor Swift’s friendship bracelets, the collection features die sets, BetterPress sets, and a stamp set. I created a Halloween card, a Christmas card, and a card celebrating the spirit of friendship. I hope you will take a look and leave me a comment!
