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!

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!
