HAPPY HALLOWEEN🎃👻

Posted in Halloween, HANDMADE CARDS by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Today I thought we’d take a look through some of our Halloween inspiration …

I’ve summoned not one, but four hauntingly amazing products to create this wickedly wonderful design: the Halloween Spells Designer Paper, the Playful Ghosts stamp set, the Halloween Memories stamp set, and the versatile Take a Bow Dies.

For this hauntingly cute card, we’re showcasing the eerie charm of the Halloween Memories Scrapbooking Kit and its oh-so-versatile two-tone cardstock. One side is the full-strength color, while the flip side is a lighter, spookier version—perfect for creating dimensional depth. I chose to use the “tearing” technique to give this card an extra ghostly touch by revealing the white core of the cardstock.

My pencil holders are a bewitching way to share the fun of Halloween without adding more sugar to the night. Created with the hauntingly beautiful Halloween Spells Designer Paper, these cute little pouches are a cinch to make. Whether you tuck in three Halloween-themed pencils or a ghoulishly delightful pen, these treats are sure to cast a spell on whoever receives them!

These cards have it all: spooky fun, creative techniques, and of course, lots of Halloween spirit. Whether you’re crafting for a party or just want to send a frightfully fun greeting, these projects are sure to cast a spell on your recipients!

Thanks for joining me today! Happy Halloween ~

Brewing Up Some Spooky Fun

Posted in Halloween, HANDMADE CARDS by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Hope you’ve been having a spooktacular time during Halloween week! But, beware, today is our final day to share some crafty Halloween magic with you. No need to be too frightened, though—today’s card is brewing up all kinds of spooky fun! We’ve summoned not one, but four hauntingly amazing products to create this wickedly wonderful design: the Halloween Spells Designer Paper, the Playful Ghosts stamp set, the Halloween Memories stamp set, and the versatile Take a Bow Dies.

Let’s start with the backdrop, which sets the eerie stage for our card. Might bring your thoughts to Beetlejuice!! The Halloween Spells Designer Paper is featured prominently here, not just as the background but also transformed into spooky orbs floating across the card like enchanted bubbles. But wait—what’s that peeking out? Tucked between those orbs is none other than our mischievous little ghost from the Playful Ghosts stamp set! He may look like he’s up to some spooky antics, but he adds just the right amount of playful charm to balance the eerie with a little bit of cute.

And what’s Halloween without a chilling message? The “Spooky Fun” greeting, perfectly fitting for this card, comes from the Halloween Memories stamp set. We’ve stamped it onto more of the Halloween Spells Designer Paper because, let’s be honest, you can never have too much of this enchanting design! The message is framed using the Take a Bow Dies, which, like a spell-casting wand, create that perfect shape to highlight your greeting. Pro tip: Keep these dies handy all year long, because they’re not just for Halloween. They’re perfect for making bows and framing sentiments on cards, scrapbook pages, and more for any occasion.

So, as the witching hour of Halloween week comes to a close, don’t let the crafting fun stop here. These hauntingly versatile products are a great addition to your creative stash all year round! Keep casting those crafty spells and conjuring up creations that will delight and inspire.

Happy haunting, and keep those crafting cauldrons bubbling!

Day 3: Playful Ghosts & Wickedly Good Times!

Posted in Halloween, HANDMADE CARDS by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Welcome back, crafty friends! It’s Day 3 of our Halloween Week, and today I’m bringing a bit of spooky fun into the mix with the Playful Ghosts stamp set. If you’ve been following along, you know we’re keeping the Halloween vibes going strong with the Halloween Spells Designer Paper, and today’s project is no different! Let’s dive into how this charming ghostly creation came together, step by step.

To start, I used the starry pattern from the Halloween Spells Designer Paper as the backdrop for our spooky scene. Measuring 3 7/8″ x 5 1/8″, this piece sets the perfect Halloween night tone when mounted onto a 4″ x 5 1/4″ piece of Pumpkin Pie cardstock. This pairing really makes those stars pop! The card base is Granny Apple Green—a must for our Halloween color palette, adding a playful and eerie contrast to the deeper tones of the card.

Now, for a bit of layering fun! I die-cut two banners using the Take a Bow dies: one in Pumpkin Pie and another in the Gorgeous Grape polka dot pattern from the same designer series paper. These playful colors work together to create a whimsical, spooky feel.

Next, I reached for the Granny Apple Green “bubbly” pattern from the designer paper and stamped the greeting “Wickedly Good Times” in bold black ink. I love how the pop of green brings this sentiment to life! To give it that finishing touch, I die-cut the greeting with the Nested Essentials Dies, giving it a sharp and clean look.

And now for the star of the show—our Playful Ghost! I stamped the adorable little “witch” ghost using Memento ink and brought her to life with markers. You can really have fun with this one by adding bright pops of color to her hat or gown. She’s spooky, but let’s face it, she’s way too cute to scare anyone!

By layering all of these elements together, you’ve got a fun, playful card that perfectly captures the Halloween spirit! Whether you’re sending this card to a friend or adding it to your stash of handmade holiday creations, it’s sure to bring a smile to their face.

All the supplies used in this project are available in my Stampin’ Up! store, so if you’re loving this card as much as I am, be sure to grab your Playful Ghosts stamp set, Halloween Spells Designer Paper, and coordinating dies before they vanish like a ghost in the night! Stay tuned for more Halloween fun coming your way tomorrow—there’s plenty more tricks and treats to come this week! 🎃

Happy stamping, and don’t forget to add these must-have Halloween supplies to your crafting stash! Until tomorrow, keep crafting wickedly good times! ✨👻 OR … You join me LIVE tonight on my Linda’s Stampin’ Escape Facebook page; I’ll be showing you how to make some cute “Trick or Treat” gifts.

Brewing Up Halloween Fun with a Playful Ghosts Fun Fold Card

Posted in Fun Folds, Halloween, HANDMADE CARDS, ONLINE EXCLUSIVE PRODUCTS by

Hello, Stampin’ Friends! 👻

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!

Happy stamping! 🎃
