Hellllooooooo from me to BOO!! How was your Labor Day Weekend?? Did you do anything fun?? We stayed local and did things around the house. We had gorgeous cool weather here! My husband is working on a huge work project for the next couple of weeks and that's taking up most of his time. I'm staying busy in the craft room – sooooo many things are coming! I'm having a hard time keeping up! I have Christmas, and Fall, and Halloween – it's all happening here in the craft room. There's stuff everywhere!! And, happy September! We are now officially in Fall mode in my mind anyway!! Hee hee. I already had my first PSL and I'm just yearning to wear a sweater! Hope you are doing great!
I have a fun and colorful Halloween card to share today. I used lots of brand new items from Spellbinders! And, in particular, the new Envelope of Wonder suite of stamps and dies. LOVE IT! The base is an envelope and then there are flowers, Halloween items, Christmas items, etc. to put inside. Well, my little envie is overflowing with ghosties and bats and pumpkins….and even a cat and a skeleton! Let's take a look!
I love the font on the sentiment stamp set! It's a pretty cursive font and it fits onto a little tag that goes on the front of the envelope. I made the envelope from tiny gingham from my stash and lined it with orange gingham. My background layers are orange cardstock and OOOOOLLLLDDD striped vellum from PTI that's been in my stash for a while!!
The fun part of this card was die cutting out all these fun images and elements!! I shaded everything with Copic Markers and added white gel pen accents. I like doing this type of crafting – all the little pieces…. On some pieces I added Diamond Stickles for shine.
I love that the ghosties have a little banner! I die cut out the letters from green, orange and purple to make it more fun…
Do you recognize the skeleton? He's the one driving the fun car in the set from a couple years ago! I thought he was funny tucked in there!! And that cute cat wearing a pumpkin hat?! I added in a few elements from different Spellbinders sets. All the supplies are at the bottom of my post!
I mixed and matched everything around until I got a good layout and affixed everything with foam tape. I added some orange gems for sparkle. I do like putting lime green and purple in with traditional orange and black for Halloween!
Have you started your Halloween crafting yet?? Are you in the fall mood, or sad to say goodbye to summer?? I'm definitely ready for a change of season around here. We've had a few cool mornings and it's been nice to have the windows open. Looking forward to getting some apple donuts soon!! Take care, my friends, and have a great week!! XOXO

Hello Wanda…you have some wonderful detail on your card! I love it! I love the cobweb on the top of the envelope! And those ghosts…sooo adorable! I personally do not like to see summer go…our winters are so long here! We have a heat wave here in Ontario….but fall will arrive very soon that is for sure!
Your halloween envelope is adorable! Adding in some bits from other sets is a great idea. It also made me think you must have a rather large collection of stamps and dies. I wonder if you would consider sharing how you catalog & store them all in a future post. It would be an interesting topic for those of us with an overwhelming amount of dies.
Oh this is so fun! I am dying to get back to some crafting. We are finishing up a remodel in our bedroom and getting ready for some travel soon! Our weather has been so HOT. You wouldn’t know it was September. I love all the little fun items in your envelope and orange and black our my favorites for Halloween fun. Love it, TFS
