Welcome to the Halloween Theme Blog Hop! I’m so glad you’re joining us for some creative inspiration. Today I’m sharing a fun and festive Halloween card featuring the Frightfully Fun Designer Series Paper and lots of spooky little details.
There’s something about Halloween cards that makes it perfectly acceptable to add BOO in big, bold letters!
For this card, I started with a Basic Black cardstock card base and added a layer of Frightfully Fun Designer Series Paper. The orange spiderweb background makes the perfect backdrop for all the spooky elements.
The oversized BOO was cut from Basic Black cardstock using the Party Alphabet dies. I love how the large letters fill the card front and create a fun focal point.
The little ghosts peeking out from behind the letters are actually fussy cut from the Frightfully Fun Designer Series Paper. They were just too cute to leave on the sheet! I added a few bats, cut from Basic Black cardstock using the Oh My Fright dies, to give the ghosts some company.
For a little sparkle, I added Timid Tiger sequins from the Sunset Sparkle Sequins. They add just the right amount of Halloween shine without taking away from the bold design.
I carried the Halloween colors to the inside of the card, too. A Pumpkin Pie cardstock panel was adhered to the Basic Black card base, followed by a Basic White panel for the writing area.
The sentiment and the fun cloud of flying bats are both from the Oh My Fright stamp set and were stamped in Basic Black Hybrid ink. I love how the inside continues the spooky theme while still leaving plenty of room for a personal message.
This card was such a fun combination of bold letters, cute ghosts, flying bats, and a little sparkle. Sometimes a simple color combination of black, orange, and white is all you need to create a fabulous Halloween card!

We've made it to the last card in my Stack and Shuffle Halloween trio! Check out the other two cards here and here. If you're just joining me, this technique — inspired by Patty Bennett — is all about stacking a few coordinating designer series paper panels together, cutting them all at once, then shuffling the pieces before reassembling the card front. It's a great way to squeeze a fun patchwork look out of your paper scraps, and this third card might be my favorite background of the bunch.
Card Three Details
Once again the patchwork background comes from the Frightfully Fun Designer Series Paper, stacked, cut, and shuffled onto a Basic Black card base — this one mixes the ghost print, the swirly night sky, and the little star print together beautifully.
For this card I went with a spooky little scene instead of a big die-cut sentiment. A bare black tree branch anchors the panel, with a couple of ghostly silhouettes cut from Vellum fluttering through its branches and a sweet black cat peeking in from the corner — the tree, ghosts, and cat are all cut using the Oh My Fright Dies. A trio of little bats cut from Basic Black cardstock, also using the Oh My Fright Dies, finish off the sky, along with a few white dot embellishments from the Adhesive-Backed Bats, Ghosts and Dots scattered in for a bit of shimmer. The "TRICK OR TREAT" sentiment banner tucked in at the top finishes off the scene.
Inside, I stamped "Happy Halloween" from the Oh My Fright Stamp Set, and added a sweet little ghost fussy cut from the Frightfully Fun DSP to send it off with a smile.
That's a Wrap
Thanks so much for following along with all three of my Stack and Shuffle Halloween cards! I had so much fun seeing how differently each patchwork background turned out even though they all started from the same stack of paper. If you give this technique a try yourself, I'd love to see what you come up with.
