  • You’re my favorite BOO!

    Hi Boo! How are you?! It’s Halloween week already! Yes, like usual, I am behind and I will not finish everything I had in mind for Halloween…. Such is my life…. So many ideas, so little time! Halloween came fast on me this year, especially with working full time! I want to squeeze in a couple more projects if I can! Right after Halloween it will be my birthday, and just like that the rest of the year will come!

    Today I’m sharing a super cute and fun Halloween card that won’t scare anyone! Cute little ghosties with smiles and pink cheeks. The absolutely most adorable stamps and dies from Waffle Flower. I had some time to stamp the other day and this is what I made! I used a color palette of traditional black and orange, but then I popped in some hot pink and silver glitter paper too.

    My finished card is a white A2 card base, layered with hot pink and white…. The little ghosties are all decked out in their outfits to spook…

    I started by die cutting out the boo (2 layers, silver and black), the ghosts, and the other smaller elements. I glued everything together. I added white gel pen accents to everything, and white paint splatters to the Boo element.

    I added the smaller, stamped sentiment to the bottom of the white panel. Isn’t it the prettiest font combo? And I love the saying!

  • Pretty Pink Posh Halloween 2025!

    BOO TO YOU! Hello my friends! I am SO EXCITED to share some projects I made with the new Pretty Pink Posh Halloween 2025 release! You know I love this release every year, and I can’t wait to see what Paulina comes up with for us to craft! This year was as good as ever! Everything is cute and spooky (but not too spooky) and FUN. I made two projects so far, and I hope to make lots more. I hope you are doing well this week, as we are getting ready to transition into Autumn. We’ve had amazing weather here in Northern California, and I can feel the light changing which makes me super happy. My new job is going great and I’ve almost been there five months! I do miss crafting every day, but this job is a blessing for sure! So, I’ll craft and blog when I can, and enjoy sharing with you. XO

    First up is this adorable treat box, well, because we know how much I love a treat box! Especially for Halloween! I used the brand new Cat Holder Dies and some old PPP favorites too. Traditional colors or black and orange, with a pop of lime green! Oh, and a sparkly spider web just because. I made a festive flag to tuck into my treat box, which I think makes the whole thing more fun. Googly eyes on a spider? Check! Candy? Check! A cross eyed kitty cat? Check!

  • Falloween projects with Honey Bee Stamps!

    Happy Friday! It's been a fun and crafty week! LOTS to share this week! YEAH! Love it all! So many good new releases to play with and share! Wishing you a great weekend ahead. Sunday is the first day of Fall! So happy! Do you have fun weekend plans? I think we're going to try and go see Beetlejuice movie! But not much else going on this weekend. I have lots of work to get done. Sending some Fall good vibes your way!! Today's post features the brand new Falloween Release from our friends at Honey Bee Stamps. It's a combination release of Fall and Halloween. Gosh, so many great new products to love! I made two cards to show you today – let's get started!

    First up is this Halloween card featuring the brand new Scaredy Cat Dies! OMG a cat! So dang cute and fun! I gave him green eyes like my Lucky!! Some adorable bats and a cute spider LOL! I absolutely had the best time making this card!! It's a slightly larger card this time – about 5" x 6" to make more room for that big sentiment up top. For my card, I layered orange gingham and an ink blended panel… I die cut and shaded all the elements and added white gel pen accents. I used Copic markers to shade the smaller pieces. I created a pumpkin patch scene for my kitty cat….

    Since all the pieces of the cat are black – I used a small sponge dauber and white ink to add just a hint of an outline around each piece. This makes it all pop!! I layered two pieces of each part to make it a bit thicker.

    Next up is this sweet sweet scarecrow just ready for pumpkin picking! He's outstanding in his field! LOLZ! This card has a LOT of pieces but it was really fun to mix and match fall colors and patterns for my fall scene. I used loads of Honey Bee dies for this one. I'm featuring the brand new Scarecrow dies but there are lots of older favorites too!! My finished card is an A2 card base, layered with kraft and then ink blending to look like an Autumn sky…. I put him into a farm cart full of gourds and pumpkins…. Also I added a sweet leaf banner for him to hold…. The scarecrow and his plaid shirt finish the look so nicely!

  • Halloween Fun with Photoplay Paper!

    Hi everyone! It's officially going to be FALL this week! And I am here for it! I hope you had a great weekend and hope you're doing well! I am SO EXCITED about Fall and Halloween crafting! We had a great weekend – we went to a Fall Vintage Show at one of our favorite places and we went for a mini road trip to some crafting places, and out for coffee and church, and the weather has been amazing! I started a HUGE cross stitch project this week (my biggest one ever) and it's a Halloween Sampler. I will definitely not finish in time for this Halloween, but maybe next year's Halloween! It's so cool. Once I get some done, I'll share it with you! 

    I saw this quote the other day from the artist Georgia O'Keeffe: “I have done nothing all summer but wait for myself to be myself again.” And this is me totally! I am renewed by the Autumn breezes and the changing light…. 

    Today I'm sharing four fun projects I made with the new Halloween collections from Photoplay Paper! Their Halloween stuff is awesome! And everything is such nice quality and easy to work with. Three of my projects today have a vintage theme and one is pastel Halloween (Love this trend)… I have a list a mile long of all the things I want to make in the next six weeks or so. Better get bizzzyyyyyyy.

    First up today is a circular card! I always forget how fun it is to create a circle card! I used all papers from Photoplay and mixed and matched papers, stickers, gems and a bit of ribbon from my stash. I die cut the card base from black shimmer paper, then layered polka dots in black and white and orange. Everything is splashed with dark silver ink. I added gems and an epoxy shape too. Bits of glitter glue on each piece add the right amount of sparkle. The card opens at the top and there's plenty of room inside for a message. The collection is called Creepin' It Real! Traditional colors and themes for spooky season!

    Next up is a cool witchy poo card! This card is an A2 card base layered with black shimmer paper and orange spider web papers… Then I used ephemera and stickers from the collection, and gems and glitter…..and more papers! It's kind of a mixed media piece! I made the broom myself with a stick from our front bushes! I'll talk more about that in a minute…

    Here's a close up of my handmade broom! EEK. So fun to make!! I got a small twig from our front yard…. I cut a strip of the plaid patterned paper about two inches wide. I used scissors to cut into the paper strip about three quarters of the way up. Then I glued the strip onto the twig by carefully wrapping it tightly around the twig. I glued the entire way to keep it nice and tight/compact. After it was dry, I spread the 'bristles' out with my fingers. I wrapped the top with twine and a bow and a gem. And then I added a little bit of glitter glue to it! LOVE this part of my project!

    Next up is a little half medallion/rosette decoration! Instead of making a large round rosette, I just made a half one! I added circles to the top and then decorated with stickers and ephemera…. And another epoxy shape…. Aren't those ghosties sill in their florals? So fun!! The whole thing is splashed with gold paint for good measure. Love that bat paper!!

    And lastly for today – another cute little ghostie! I again used new stamps and dies and stickers from Photoplay Paper!! I love the trend of using pink in Halloween cards so I used pink and peach here. Clean and simple design with a bit of gingham and lots of white space. Super fun and easy!!

  • Guest Designing with Doodlebug – Sweet & Spooky Collection – Pop Up Halloween Card!

    Hi friends! Happy October! YEAH! We even had some rain yesterday! Hope you're having a good weekend. So excited for my favorite month (well, one of them!) How have you been? I'm very excited and happy to be making a Doodlebug project and to be back as a guest designer on the Doodlebug Blog today!! You guys already know how much I love Halloween, and the only thing better than Halloween is….Doodlebug Halloween! I look forward to the new collection every Fall! Today, I'm sharing a project I made with the new Sweet and Spooky Collection. It's fantastic! I love how Doodlebug incorporated some aqua and pink in with all the other traditional Halloween colors. It's fresh and cute with just the right amount of spooky!  

    My card today is a pop up card! I made a little street scene for Halloween night – with trick or treaters, a haunted house, and some adorable ghosties! I used a die set that makes a pop up card – it's so simple and easy to put together.  I love that Doodlebug papers are double sided, so the front is just as cute as the back!! This card folds into an A2 envelope, and I used the awesome Cards and Envelopes Sweet and Spooky pack for the envelope.

    I assembled my card from 12×12 Spooky and Sweet paper using the aqua spiderwebs paper as a nice neutral background. I used lots of stickers and die cut pieces to decorate everything! When I first started paper crafting it was a 'thing' to make cards entirely from stickers! And it's so easy with the gorgeous stickers from Doodlebug! I put the haunted house in the background and the cute trick or treaters…. And then I glued the ghosties to the top to make it look like they're flying around.

  • Pretty Pink Posh August 2022 New Release – Trick or Treat Candy!

    Hi sweet friends! Are you having a good week?! Are you crafting a lot this week? I've been pretty busy in the craft room this week – lots of good and fun things coming! Our weather has calmed down a bit and I can feel the light changing for fall…. I've been working on something super fun that I will be able to share next week that is alllll fall and Halloween fun too! Anyhoo! I'm here today to share my second card I made with the awesome new release from Pretty Pink Posh for August 2022!! We are celebrating with a huge Instagram Hop today – so if you have Instagram, be sure to head over there and leave a comment for a chance to win some prizes, and to see all the other card makers' inspiration!

    My card today is a white A2 card base, layered with black and white and purple! I am featuring the new Candy Treats Dies, Ghost Friends Stamps, and Stars Stencil. I'm also featuring two products from last year's release – the Boo Shaker and the Trick or Treat Dies. I used TONS of bright colors on this card. I think that's one of the best things about Halloween cards – you can just use ALLLL the colors and it looks fun!

    Here's a side view of all my layers and card construction…

    My inspiration for this card was a old timey trick or treat bucket! Like the ones we used to get from McDonalds with that hard plastic and the swinging handle! Brings back such good memories! The other inspiration was the CANDY that went inside that bucket! Lol! The new Candy Treats dies are wonderful. I die cut out the pieces from several colors and glued them all together. I added bits and bobs of glitter…and white gel pen accents!

    This card has a lot going on!! To make the background I did one of my fav techniques – distress ink blending tone on tone with colored cardstock! I used purple cardstock and then used purple distress inks to ink around the edges. Then I used super dark purple ink to ink the stars stencil over the ink blending. SO cool. I stamped and die cut out the ghosties and colored them with a few Copic Markers.

    I used the same ink blending technique on the pumpkin – orange distress inks on top of orange cardstock. FUN. FUUUUUN. The pumpkin die is the perfect size for the front of a card, and I use it a lot!

    I used the Glitter Duster and Rock Candy Glitter on top of some of the candies – looks pretty in person!! (Kind of hard to photo)…

    I scattered candies all around my card until I got the right look. I die cut the sentiment from silver glitter cardstock. I used glue to add the sentiment onto the bottom of the card. The silver looks pretty against that dark purple.

    Hi friends! BOO TO YOU! It's mid August and I can feel Fall coming! We went to the craft store this past weekend and some of the Halloween and Fall goodies were getting unpacked and put out. Oh, how this makes my heart happy! This Fall loving girl is getting ready for her season! (I've been ready for Fall since last Fall!) One of the highlights of each August is when the stamp companies start rolling out Halloween…. And I especially LOVE Pretty Pink Posh Halloween! I look forward to it every single time. Pretty Pink Posh's new release is available now, and we're all celebrating with a blog hop this week and an Instagram Hop next week! So I have two cards to share with you made with the new collection. Yeah!

    My card for today features the new Pumpkin Stencils and the new Ghost Friends Stamp Set! I also used the new Wonky Stitched Rectangles and the new Stars Stencil. Yep, everything on this card is NEW!! My finished card is a white A2 card base. I layered black cardstock and vellum and my stenciled panel….

    I started this card by first stenciling the pumpkins panel. The stencils set is three stencils: the pumpkins, the faces and the leaves. SO you could leave off the faces if you just want fall pumpkins! The stencils make a 6×6 panel, which I later cut down to A2. I used two different shades of orange distress inks and both my large blender brushes and my small blender brushes to make the pumpkins. I also shaded two colors of green on the leaves. This really does make your stenciling pop I think!! I splattered on some white paint. I set that aside to dry and then worked on my focal panels.

    The Ghost Friends stamp set is the CUTEST and least scariest ghosties I've ever seen!! EEP. I stamped, colored and die cut out the ghost with the pumpkin. I die cut a Wonky Rectangle from vellum and one from white. I used the new Stars stencil to add some yellow stars around the sentiment and ghost… I attached the ghost with foam tape so it looks like he's hovering! LOL.

  • Trick or Treat Shutter Card!!

    Hi guys!! Only two weeks until Halloween…and then my birthday (election day)! We're getting into full Fall mode now! I am busy trying to make up all my Halloween ideas before it's too late. I always do that… I wait too long to get started and then I run out of time! Yesterday I decorated our house for Halloween and it looks fun and festive. Usually I decorate for Fall in September…then take a break for Halloween…then put all the fall stuff out again until Thanksgiving! Hahaha. We girls are so funny with our decorating, aren't we? I do love it though.

    I bought a ton of stuff from the latest LF release and I really wanted to make a shutter card. But I kind of drew a blank on what stamps I wanted to use. So I got an idea! Let's use the cute new patterned paper I bought (instead of hoarding it!). Yeah, that's the ticket. So I present to you a fun interactive card made with dies and papers and stickers. No stamping! I like how it came out.

    The finished shutter card is slightly smaller than an A2 card so it will fit into an A2 envelope. My card base is dark gray cardstock. Here is the card folded and closed up with a belly band.

    I decorated the front with patterned papers and stickers – and a few gems. The card itself was made using the Lawn Fawn Shutter die cut. It comes with the pieces to decorate the front and make the belly band. It also comes with the internal moving parts that make the shutter.

    Take off the belly band, and it looks like a tri fold card… Isn't that paper so cute!?

    And when you open it, the shutter opens and reveals the cute little pumpkin I put behind it! This may look complicated – but truly it wasn't! It came together pretty fast and easy. To decorate, I die cut some grass for the bottom and then used all the really nice thick stickers.

  • BOO! Have a faboolous day!

    BOO! Did I scare you?! Lolz. Today I'm sharing a fabooooolous Halloween Card! It's a little shabby haunted house at 31 Spooky Lane! I'm so excited to share this one! I realize as I'm typing this post that it's very similar to my last post with the beach house… Similar, but very different! This time it's dark and moody, and instead of crabbies, we have some ghosties hanging out in their house. I do really love making this kind of card! You can totally customize the little houses to be whatever you want them to be! Some of you might recognize those green puffy clouds in the background – I posted those on Instagram a while back. I used them as the background for my haunted house.

    This card uses stamps and dies from Lawn Fawn! I used the Build A House die to make the haunted house. CLICK HERE to see another card I made with this die – a farmhouse! It's super versatile! Supplies are listed HERE or at the bottom of this post!

    The finished card is an A2 card base. I used dark orange as my card base, then layered white and then my top layer with all the images. I created a little scenefull of bats, spiders and ghosts. I love making Halloween Cards!!

    My haunted house is made out of cardstock and woodgrain cardstock. I backed the window and door with yellow paper sponged with pumpkin distress ink. The ghosties are die cut out of vellum so they are see through! The hill and scary trees are one die which makes it easy to use! I stamped some flying bats on top of the green cloud background…. SO MUCH FUN!

    I did a two step sentiment – something I love to do! Die cut letters and then the stamped words below. And a little ghost flying out of the top!

    Here's a good look at my cloud background!! Three shades of green… Clouds can be any color! Especially at Halloweeeeeen.

    Here's a side view so you can see how everything is layered. I used liquid glue to attach the ghosts – and tucked them behind things so you don't see the glue. Vellum can sometimes be a bit tricky like that.

    I used an alphabet stamp set to stamp 31 on the house for the address… I stamped some bats on the inside of the card too.
