A Spooktacular Halloween Card

Halloween cards are always so much fun to create, and the Spooktacular Designer Series Paper makes it especially easy to create a festive card with lots of personality!
For this card, I started with a Basic Black cardstock card base and layered it with Granny Apple Green cardstock and then the Spooktacular DSP. The DSP was cut to 3 7/8" x 5 1/8".

One of my favorite details on this card is the dimensional leaves. I carefully cut the leaves from the Spooktacular DSP and then re-adhered them to the card front using Stampin' Dimensionals. This gives the leaves a little extra lift and adds some fun dimension to the otherwise flat DSP background.

For the sentiment, I used one of the Spotlight on Nature Dies to cut the circle. The "BOO to You" sentiment from the Oh My Fright Stamp Set was stamped in Basic Black Hybrid Ink.

To give the circle a little more Halloween color, I sponged the edges with Pumpkin Pie ink using a Sponge Dauber. A few Timid Tiger Sunset Sparkle Sequins add just the right amount of sparkle and finish off the front of the card.

A Little Halloween Fun Inside

I carried the Halloween colors to the inside of the card with a Pumpkin Pie cardstock panel.

The "Happy Halloween" sentiment and the fun cloud of bats are both from the Oh My Fright Stamp Set and were stamped in Basic Black Hybrid Ink.

I love how the inside coordinates with the card front without being overly complicated. Sometimes a simple stamped sentiment and a few images are all you need!

This card is a great example of how you can let Designer Series Paper do most of the work while adding just a few simple details to create a fun and festive handmade Halloween card.

Happy Halloween—and happy stamping!

Happy Halloween!

It’s time for a little Halloween fun! This spooky card combines creepy tree branches, friendly ghosts, and a bold orange-and-black color combination for a festive Happy Halloween design.

I started with a Basic Black cardstock card base and added an embossed with Swirls of Magic Pumpkin Pie layer for extra texture. The Frightfully Fun Designer Series Paper creates the perfect spooky background with its dark tree branches and Halloween colors.

The focal point of the card is the spooky black tree die-cut from the Oh My Fright dies. The tree was adhered to the card front using Black Stampin' Dimensionals. Its branches stretch across the card front, creating the perfect place for the friendly ghosts to float around. The ghosts were cut from the coordinating Frightfully Fun Designer Series Paper and added throughout the tree.

But there’s a fun surprise—two of the ghosts are attached using wobblers! This gives them a playful little bounce and adds a fun interactive element to the card. I love how a simple wobbler can bring a handmade card to life!

The “Happy Halloween” greeting was die-cut using the Words of the Season dies and added to the card front in a bright, sparkly Berry Burst Garden Textures Specialty Foil that has been backed with Adhesive Sheet. The Berry Burst really stands out against the orange and black background and adds just the right amount of shimmer.

A few additional little ghosts from the Adhesive-Backed Bats, Ghosts and Dots tucked among the branches complete the Halloween theme.

The inside continues the Halloween theme with a coordinating sentiment stamped in Pumpkin Pie ink and a group of flying bats from the Oh My Fright stamp set. Keeping the inside clean and simple allows the fun, dimensional card front to take center stage.

I love how this card combines spooky, cute, sparkle, and movement! Those bouncing ghosts are sure to make the recipient smile when they open the card.

Happy Halloween!
