Boo Crew Assemble! A Frightfully Fun Halloween Card

Okay, can we talk about how much personality five little ghosts can have? I had way too much fun putting this card together, and I'm pretty sure it's going straight to the top of my "cards I don't actually want to give away" pile. Halloween cards get to be a little silly, a little spooky, and a whole lot of fun, and this one hits all three.

Setting the Scene

I started with a Basic Black cardstock base, because honestly, is there a better backdrop for Halloween than good old classic black? It's the perfect stage for all the orange and ghostly goodness that was about to happen on top of it.

For the main event, I reached for the Frightfully Fun Designer Series Paper. That pumpkin-orange background covered in little ghosts and bats is basically Halloween in paper form, and it gave me the perfect playground to work with.

Enter the Ghost Squad

Here's where things got fun. I fussy cut five different ghosts straight from the Frightfully Fun DSP, each one with its own funny little expression, some smiling, some smirking, one even looks like it's mid-giggle. Popping them up on Stampin' Dimensionals gave them that little bit of lift so they float above the background instead of just blending in. There's something about dimension that makes a card feel like it has movement, like those ghosts are actually drifting across the page looking for candy.

To tie everything together (literally), I added some elegant black swirls cut from the Oh My Fright dies in Basic Black cardstock. They curl and twist around the ghosts like little vines of spookiness, and they do a great job of filling space without competing with the star of the show.

The Pumpkin and the Banner

No Halloween card is complete without at least one pumpkin, so I pulled a sweet jack-o'-lantern from the Harvest Hues Mix & Match Ephemera Pack and adhered it with Black Stampin' Dimensionals for a little extra pop. That grinning pumpkin face just makes me happy every time I look at it.

For the sentiment on the front, I went with a bold little banner from the Harvest & Holly Mix & Match Ephemera Pack that asks the big question: "Trick? -or- Treat?" It's simple, it's punchy, and it fits right into that black-and-orange color scheme like it was made for this card. (It basically was.)

The two Ephemera Packs used for this card will be available starting September 1, 2026.

What's Waiting Inside

Open the card up and the fun keeps going. I adhered a Pumpkin Pie panel to the card base for a warm pop of color, then stamped the sentiment "Happy Halloween" on a Basic White panel using the Oh My Fright stamp set in Basic Black ink. Clean, classic, and to the point, exactly what you want for a sentiment that's sharing the spotlight with more embellishments.

Speaking of embellishments, I couldn't resist adding one more fussy cut ghost from the Frightfully Fun DSP to the inside panel. This one's got the sweetest little smile and looks like it's waving hello, which felt like the perfect way to greet whoever opens this card.

Final Thoughts

This card was one of those projects where every layer made me smile a little more. Between the fussy cutting, the dimensional pop-ups, and that perfectly moody black-and-orange color palette, it's silly, it's spooky, and it's just plain fun to make (and hopefully just as fun to receive).

Some of the products used to make this card will be available to purchase on September 1, 2026. If you would like access to these products sooner, join my team. As a Stampin' Up! demonstrator you enjoy a discount plus early access to new products. Click here for more information.

BOO to You! A Spooky Little Halloween Card

Halloween is one of my favorite occasions to craft for — there's just something about black cardstock, glitter, and a good ghost die that makes a project feel fun from the very first snip. Today I'm sharing a card that came together around a gnarled, spooky branch, a trio of ghosts, and a sentiment with a little sparkle to it.

I started with a Basic Black cardstock card base and ran a coordinating Basic Black two-tone cardstock panel through the Swirls of Magic embossing folder. Once embossed, I then lightly sanded the raised embossed area for some subtle texture around the edges before adhering it to the card base. For the focal panel, I reached for the Frightfully Fun Designer Series Paper — that warm, moody orange background was exactly the "sunset before the haunting" feeling I wanted.

From there, the Oh My Fright dies did most of the heavy lifting: a black cardstock tree stretches across the panel, a couple of bats tuck into the corners, and two vellum ghosts drift among the branches for a soft, see-through effect that plays nicely against the solid black die cuts. I also cut a third ghost from the Frightfully Fun DSP itself using one of the same Oh My Fright dies, and popped it up on Black Stampin' Dimensionals to give it a bit of lift off the panel.

For the sentiment, I stamped "BOO to you" in Basic Black ink onto the DSP using one of the stamps from the Oh My Fright stamp set — but I wanted the "BOO" itself to have some sparkle, so I die cut it separately from a piece of Black Glimmer paper from my stash using one of the Web of Fun dies. Before cutting, I backed the glimmer paper with a piece of Adhesive Sheet, which made adhering that fussy little die cut so much easier — no fumbling with liquid glue on glitter paper.

Inside, I kept things simple and let the stamps do the talking: "Happy Halloween" and a little cluster of bats from the Oh My Fright stamp set, stamped in Basic Black ink along with a fussy-cut ghost from the Frightfully Fun DSP. It's a nice quiet moment after all the layers on the front.

This one was such a fun card to put together, and I love how the vellum ghosts give it some depth without overwhelming the design. It's a perfect card to tuck into a Halloween treat bag or send to a friend who loves this spooky season as much as I do!

Thanks so much for stopping by — happy crafting, and Happy Halloween! 🎃
