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.

A Spooky Season Halloween Card

Halloween is one of my favorite occasions to craft for — there's just something about black, orange, and a little bit of spiderweb that makes a card feel instantly festive. Today I'm sharing a card that leans into that "spooky season" vibe with a pumpkin patch on the front and a sweet trick-or-treat surprise on the inside.

I started with a panel of Frightfully Fun Designer Series Paper in a moody grey spiderweb print, dotted with little flecks of white and scattered orange dots for extra sparkle. Those dots aren't a pre-printed embellishment — I made them myself by coloring a few Basic White dots from the Adhesive-Backed Bat, Ghosts and Dots with a Dark Pumpkin Pie Stampin' Blend before adhering them to the card front, which let me get that perfect punchy orange to match the rest of the palette. It's the perfect backdrop for a Halloween pumpkin patch.

Across the top, I added the "Spooky Season" phrase, an ephemera piece from the Harvest & Holly Mix and Match Specialty Ephemera Pack — I love that little spiders and spiderwebs are worked right into the lettering, so it does double duty as both sentiment and embellishment.

Underneath, I lined up a row of pumpkins from the Harvest Hues Mix and Match Ephemera Pack — yellow, brown, and two orange pumpkins, including a friendly jack-o'-lantern with a curled vine and a little mushroom tucked in beside it. To make that jack-o'-lantern pop off the page, I adhered it with Stampin' Dimensionals, so it sits just a bit higher than the rest of the patch and catches the light.

The whole panel is layered onto Basic Black cardstock card base.

Open it up, and the mood shifts to bright and cheerful. I adhered a layer of Pumpkin Pie cardstock to the card base, then topped it with a Basic White cardstock panel for a clean, simple frame.

For the sentiment, I stamped "Happy Halloween" from the Oh My Fright stamp set in Pumpkin Pie ink, keeping the two-tone, mixed-font look that set is known for. In the corner, a little pair of candy corn — also from the Harvest Hues Mix and Match Ephemera Pack — adds one more sweet, seasonal touch without competing with the sentiment.

This one came together quickly since so much of the design work is already done for you in the ephemera packs — sometimes the simplest builds make the biggest impact! I hope this gives you some inspiration for your own Halloween cards this season.

Happy stamping!
