Hey Boo! Time for some Halloween cards!

Hey Boos! Happy Friday! I hope you’re having a delightful October so far! Today I’m sharing some fun Halloween cards for ya! I LOVE making Halloween cards! I’m running out of time. This month is going by so fast already. I wait all year for my favorite month!! This past Saturday, the 3rd, my hubs and I celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary! Yay! I am so blessed to have this man in my life! We had a lovely dinner out at our favorite restaurant Saturday night and this week we’ve been doing little adventures and celebrating together. You can see our adventures over on my Instagram!

We were scheduled to go on a good vacation this week, but I was laid off from my job in June – and that was very bad for my mental health and our finances. I’m grateful to report I got a new job a couple of weeks ago so I’m hopeful again that things are back on track. For the first time in my life I found myself without a job when I wanted one. This is no joke. The current job market is no joke either. If you know anyone looking for a job right now, please give them lots of grace and kindness. I’ve been truly humbled by this experience. Crafting and blogging has been my relief and fun.

Today I have Halloween cards from two of my favorite companies – Taylored Expressions and Concord & 9th! Oh yeah. Such cute supplies! There is not enough time to make everything I want to make!! So happy to share with you today.

First up is this adorable ghostie bestie, made with supplies from Taylored Expressions! I used the Ghost Hugs stamps and dies to create this one. My finished card is an A2 white card base. I used a color palette of lime green, teal and orange and it’s so bright and vivid. The lime layer was embossed with a spider web embossing folder…. I die cut out the ghost, the cat (!!), the bat, the banner, and the pumpkin. I added white gel pen accents to everything. I stamped the face and the sentiment, the BOO and the little orange stars. A few colorful gems finished off the card. This one makes me smile!!

My second card today was made with supplies from Concord & 9th! Happy Spooky Season! This tiny haunted house and accessories are so fun. My finished card is an A2 white card base, layered with some stripes and then a white panel that I ink blended into a dusk evening sky! I used the Spook Alley dies to create a trick-or-treat scene… A teeny fence, little bats, and a little moon. And don’t get me started on those adorable ghosts!!

    Oh. My. Stars. ✨ These are so cute and so much to love on BOTH cards! I can’t get over TE having fun supplies for my grands who don’t like much about Halloween and their parents who shield them from it. This is cute enough to get me an “okay”. And those supplies from C9? Those tiny trick-or-treaters? Adorable! Love ‘em and love you!

    Such fun Halloween cards! Fall is my favorite season too, and I LOVE Halloween! I always say that I inherited my love of the occasion from my Mom… so many fun memories of her costumes over the years and her delight in decorating for it!

    Congrats on the new job!
