Hello! It’s Lindsey here today and I’m trying to plan ahead with teacher gifts, so I created a little gift bag and tag using the new Halloween release.

I made the gift bag with the previously released Gift Card Bag Dies. This was one of the quickest projects I made!  I love that with just two cuts of the die you can have a darling gift bag in no time. It’s the perfect size for a candy/treat, jewelry, gift card, etc. I used patterned paper to speed the process up even more. I decorated the bag using the Ghost Shaker, Spider Web, and Large Boo Shadow Dies.  

And while those dies were out, I cut the ghost a few more times to use on my tag. This time I made him into an actual shaker.  I used vellum because it felt a little more ghost-ish to me :) and filled it with the new Candy Corn Glass Beads.  This may seem silly, but I LOVE the sound these beads make. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve picked this little ghost up and given him a shake. 

I finished my tag off by simply stamping some little images from the Boo to You stamp set. 

I’m so glad you joined me today. I hope I’ve inspired you and look forward to seeing what you create with this fabulous new release!

Hi, crafty friends! Leica here and I’m excited to share a Halloween shaker card using the new Halloween Mug Addition Dies. I’m absolutely in love with the Winter Mug Dies and all the additions that were previously-released. And this Halloween set is no exception!

To start, I created a 5-inch square background for my shaker by using the Layered Argyle Stencils on purple cardstock. I used some Distress Oxide inks like Black Soot and Wilted Violet. Then, I cut a square frame from white glitter cardstock and added acetate and foam tape around it to create the shaker well. Inside the shaker, I added some Halloween Candy Mix, and I also colored some of the small dies from the Halloween Mug Additions dies with copic markers before tossing them in.

Next, I cut the mug from the Winter Mug Dies and added the Frankenstein elements from the Halloween Mug Additions Dies. I ink blended them with Distress Oxide inks and glued the mug to the front of the card panel. For the sentiment, I cut the word “spooky” from the Spooky Wishes Shadow dies in black glitter cardstock and the shadow in orange cardstock. Then, I stamped “greetings” on a strip of light pink cardstock and glued it to the card panel. Finally, I glued the card panel onto a 5-inch square white card base.

That’s it for my shaker card. I hope I’ve inspired you to create some shaker cards with the Halloween Mug Additions Dies. The small dies are perfect for shaker bits, and you can customize the colors using markers or inks.

Thanks for stopping by! Happy crafting!

Hello, Gemma here and today I’m sharing a card using the new Halloween Cupcakes stamp set. I love the bold bright colours of Halloween and chose a colour scheme of pink, purple and turquoise.

I began by stamping out 3 of the cupcakes and colouring them with copic markers. I then die cut them out with the Halloween Cupcakes coordinating dies.

Copic colours: Turquoise: BG000, 11, 13, 23, 45, 49 Pink: RV21, 23, 25 Purple: BV02, 04, 08

For my background, I first used the largest die in the Wonky Stitched Rectangles die set to cut a panel of white card. From this, I used the Stitched Pieces die to cut some windows in the panel. This is one of my favourite PPP dies.

On the die cut insert pieces, I used the same copic markers to colour each one in. I wanted them to match my cupcake colours but knew it could be tricky to find a patterned paper or ink that matched. To add some sparkle, I covered each one with embossing ink, then embossed them with WOW Neutral Ultra Shimmer embossing powder.

I stamped a sentiment from the new Sentiment Strips: Halloween stamp set on the white panel.

On an A2 card base, I adhered a piece of black pearl sparkle card, followed by the white Wonky Stitched Rectangle panel. I added the sparkly insert pieces, then used foam tape to add the cupcakes to finish.

Thanks so much for joining me today! 

Hey, friends! Leica here and today I’m excited to share a cute Halloween card using the awesome Halloween House die. It was a breeze to put together, and that’s what I adore about this new die from the August 2023 release.

To start, I cut the Halloween House twice – once in black glitter cardstock and another in white heavy weight cardstock. I used the white one as a stencil and inked through it on a white card panel. Using Distress Oxide Inks in Black Soot, Milled Lavender, Spiced Marmalade, Squeezed Lemonade, and Wilted Violet, I created a fantastic background. After tracing around the Halloween House die, I cut it to size and foam mounted it onto the card panel.

For the main card panel, I blended Spun Sugar Distress Ink on an A2-sized white cardstock and added a textured spider web background using Finnabair Snowflake Paste through the Layered Spider Webs Stencil. To make it even cooler, I splattered some rose gold ink on it.

Next, I added a few cute ghosts cut from white glitter cardstock and the adorable cat from black glitter cardstock. For the sentiment, I stamped one from the Sentiment Strips: Halloween stamp set and cut it with a rectangle scallop die from the Sentiment Strips dies. To give it a cute touch, I added a gold ribbon. Finally, I glued the card panel onto an A2-sized white card base.

That’s all for my card, featuring the Halloween House die. This die is so much fun to use since it takes up most of the card panel and is super easy to work with.

I hope I’ve inspired you to create your own Halloween card. Happy crafting!

Hello, Gemma here today with a spooky cute Halloween card to share using the brand new release.

I began with the background. I used the new Hot Foil Large Boo Script to foil multiple times on a piece of patterned paper. I foiled with prism and speckled prism glimmer foils, and didn’t worry if the foiling wasn’t perfect, as this time I wanted a more distressed look.

Next, I die cut the new Ghost Shaker – twice from white card and once from pearl white sparkle card for the top layer. I also added a face to the top layer, using a die from the Ghost Shaker set. I coloured on the layer beneath with a black copic marker, so it shows through the face. I then adhered the layers together for dimension.

To create a banner for the ghost to hold, I heat embossed, in white on black card, a sentiment from the new Sentiment Strips: Halloween stamp set. I used a die from the Sentiment Strips set to cut it out.

I adhered the foiled panel to an A2 card base, added the ghost, then the banner with some foam tape to finish.

Thanks so much for joining me today! I hope this card inspired you.
