Stack and Shuffle Halloween, Card 3

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.

Thanks for stopping by — happy stamping!

Stack and Shuffle Halloween, Card 2 of 3

Welcome back to day two of my Stack and Shuffle Halloween series! If you missed card one, be sure to go back and take a peek — I'm using the same fun technique across all three cards, inspired by Patty Bennett, where you stack a few coordinating designer series paper panels together, cut them all at once, then shuffle the pieces before putting the card front back together. It's such a great way to get a one-of-a-kind patchwork look, and each card in this trio has turned out completely different.

Card Two Details

Just like card one, I built this patchwork background from the Frightfully Fun Designer Series Paper, stacked, cut, and shuffled onto a Basic Black card base — you can see the ghost print, the swirly black night sky print, and the little star print all playing together in this one.

This time I switched up the sentiment, going with a bold, oversized "Happy Halloween" cut using the Web of Fun Dies in that same shimmery Berry Burst Garden Textures Specialty Foil, backed with Adhesive Sheet, so it really pops off the busy patterned background.

I love how the little ghost was cut right from the Frightfully Fun DSP and tucked in behind the sentiment so he peeks out with that sweet smile. I scattered a few of the dimensional white ghost embellishments from the Adhesive-Backed Bats, Ghost, Dots Embellishments and some little bats cut from Basic Black cardstock using the Oh My Fright Dies around the panel too, for a bit of extra texture and dimension.

Inside, I kept it matching card one — the "BOO to you" sentiment, but stamped it in Berry Burst ink instead of black, and cloud of bats are from the Oh My Fright stamp set, stamped in Basic Black Hybrid ink, so the set has a cohesive look front to back across all three cards.

Up Next

Stick around for card three, the last in this Stack and Shuffle Halloween trio! I've had so much fun seeing how differently each patchwork background comes together even though they all start from the same stack of paper.
