Yesterday, I shared a delightful Fun Fold Card and Video featuring the gorgeous Perennial Lavender designer paper. Today, I’m thrilled to show you how you can take that same fun fold layout and brew up some Halloween magic using the Playful Ghosts stamp set from our Online Exclusives.
To start, I switched up the designer paper, using the Thoughtful Journey collection as my background. You might think of this paper for travel-themed projects, but guess what? It works perfectly as a spooky backdrop too! The watercolor design gives just the right eerie touch to set the scene for some Halloween fun.
Next, I stamped my pumpkins, flying ghost, and Dracula ghost, bringing them to life with our vibrant Stampin’ Blends. These markers make it so easy to add depth and dimension to your images. I even used them to color in the moon, which I die cut with the Everyday Details Dies. Creating layers, I die cut a smaller Night of Navy circle for that extra pop of color.
For the sentiment, I went with a simple yet bold “BOO,” stamped directly onto the designer paper and then punched out. This little detail adds just the right amount of Halloween flair without overpowering the rest of the card.
I thought it would be cute to have the Dracula Ghost peeking out from the inside of the card. And to finish up, I embellished with some spooky little orbs, also known as Transparent Adhesive Backed Dots. These subtle, glossy dots add a perfect hint of mystery and shine to your card.
The Playful Ghosts stamp set is such a joy to work with. Whether you’re creating cards, treat bags, or other Halloween projects, this set is full of possibilities. And who knew that the Thoughtful Journey designer paper could be so versatile? Using it as a spooky background showcases the simplicity and creativity that makes crafting so much fun.
I hope this card inspires you to pick up the Playful Ghosts stamp set and create a Halloween masterpiece of your own. The possibilities are endless, and I can’t wait to see what you come up with!

Welcome to a Free Tutorial Sunday, where creativity knows no bounds and fun is always at the forefront! Are you ready to embark on a crafting adventure filled with and easy and innovative fold? Well, you’re in luck because today we’re diving headfirst into a world of paper crafting delight, fueled by the spirit of sharing and the joy of trying something new!
Let me introduce you to the Biggest Wish Thank You “FUN FOLD” Card …
At the heart of today’s tutorial lies the captivating allure of the Biggest Wish Stamp Set and the enchanting charm of the Meandering Meadows Designer Series paper. These two crafting treasures are our companions on this journey of discovery as we explore this easy to make fun fold card and let our imagination run wild, so many different patterns to choose from.
Cardstock Measurements:
Blueberry Bushel Cardstock (card base): 5 ½” x 9 ¼”
Meandering Meadows DSP: 6” x 6” piece
Very Vanilla Cardstock: 5 ¼” x 3 ½”
Very Vanilla Cardstock: Scrap piece for the sentiment
Instructions:
Cut a piece of Blueberry Bushel cardstock to 5 ½” x 9 ¼”.
On the 9 ¼” side, score your cardstock at 1 ½” and 2 ¾”. Turn your paper 180 degrees, and score the other end of your cardstock at 1 ½” and 2 ¾”. Fold and burnish your card base as shown in the top view of the pictures above.
Use a piece of 6″ x 6″ Meandering Meadows Designer Series Paper (DSP) to create the focal points for your card.
Pay attention to the direction of the pattern in your DSP. Cut off ¾” from the top or bottom of your 6″ x 6″ piece, depending on what part of the design you want to keep. You’ll end up with a piece measuring 6″ wide and 5 ¼” tall.
Cut the 6″ x 5 ¼” DSP piece into three pieces. Two pieces will be 1 ¼” x 5 ¼”. The remaining piece will be 3 ½” x 5 ¼”. If you’re using a DSP that has a continuing design, like the one I used, cut the 1 ¼” x 5 ¼” pieces from either side, leaving the 3 ½” x 5 ¼” piece from the middle of the design.
The 3 ½” x 5 ¼”DSP piece is adhered to the center of the card.
The two DSP pieces measuring 1 ¼” x 5 ¼” are adhered to the sides of the card, as pictured. You could also turn these pieces over and adhere them to the sides of the card. Some DSP designs work really well with this option since both sides of the paper coordinate well with each other.
Use the ¾” strip that you cut off your original piece of 6″ x 6″ DSP as decoration on the front of the card. This strip helps bring the design together.
Use Blueberry Bushel ink and the thanks scripted stamp from the Biggest Wish stamp set to create your sentiment. Stamp the sentiment onto a scrap of Very Vanilla cardstock. Punch out the sentiment using the Heartfelt Hexagon Punch.
Before adding the sentiment, you may want to embellish your card a little. Put a few glue dots in the middle of my DSP strip and lay some of the gold Simply Elegant Trim onto the glue dots. This will allow you to shape the trim into a faux bow.
The sentiment is added with dimensionals to give it a little more pop!
Finally, the cards needed some bling, right?! Add a few of the gorgeous Brushed Brass Butterflies on the center panel of the card.
To add your message, simply cut a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock to 3 1/2″ x 5 1/4″. Add that piece to the back of the center panel.

The “Christmas is Better Together” greeting comes from the Beary Cute Bundle and the “Happy Holidays” came from the Throughout the Year stamp set. Both greetings were die cut from the Nested Essentials Dies.
For the fun fold I used the same designer paper and cardstock. On the Poppy Parade card I again used the Throughout the Year stamp set and the 2 3/8″ punch for our greeting, and then embellished with the Iridescent Rhinestones. The greeting, the tag & tree dies all come from the Merriest Tree Bundle.
Now let’s take a look at some alternatives for our Quick & Easy Double View card ….
