Two Frightfully Fun Halloween Cards

Halloween is almost here, so today I have two cards made with the adorable Frightfully Fun Designer Series Paper. This paper has so many cute prints, from friendly ghosts and a sweet calico cat to bats, stars and spider webs. I couldn’t stop at just one card!

For the first card I used the bold orange, black and cream stripe from the Frightfully Fun Designer Series Paper as the background. Then I die-cut four squares with the Tile Garden dies, each from a different print from the Frightfully Fun DSP: two friendly ghosts, a starry print and a spooky spider web. The “Happy Halloween” is from the retired Potions and Spells stamp set and has been stamped in Basic Black ink onto Pumpkin Pie cardstock.

The second card uses the orange star print from the Frightfully Fun DSP as the background. This time I set three Tile Garden squares on a diagonal: the calico cat, the bats and a ghost. The sentiment sits on a simple banner in the bottom corner, so the squares really stand out.

On both cards I added Sunset Sparkle Sequins and the Adhesive-Backed Bats, Ghosts & Dots. Those little black bats look like they’re flying right across the card!

Both cards have the same inside. I stamped “Boo to you” and the cloud of bats from the Oh My Fright stamp set in Basic Black ink. Then I cut a ghost from the Frightfully Fun DSP and tucked him into the bottom corner, so he’s peeking out to say hello. It’s a fun surprise when the card is opened.

Which card is your favorite: the stripes or the stars? Let me know in the comments!

A Batch of Spooky Treat Boxes

Halloween is one of my favorite times to craft, and this year I put together a set of four trick-or-treat boxes using the adorable Spooktacular Designer Series Paper and coordinating cardstock.

Each box has its own personality — a grinning jack-o'-lantern, a fanged vampire, a stitched-up Frankenstein, and a spooky skeleton — making them perfect for filling with candy, handing out as party favors, or tucking in a small treat for someone special.

How the Details Came Together

The "Trick or Treat" tag on each box started with the Oh My Fright stamp set, stamped in Basic Black Hybrid ink onto Very Vanilla cardstock for nice, crisp lines. I then cut it out with one of the dies from the Stitched Stocking dies set, which gave the tag that fun stitched banner shape instead of a plain rectangle.

For the finishing touch, I used a 1" circle punch to create the little curved indentation at the top of each box. It's a small detail, but it makes each box easier to open and gives the whole set a more polished look.

Happy Haunting!

I hope this quartet of trick-or-treat boxes gets you inspired for your own Halloween projects this year. Thanks so much for stopping by — happy stamping!
