For my tags, I used the large pumpkin from the Boo to You stamp set. The pumpkin stamp is made up of several Halloween icons such as ghosts, pumpkins, spider webs, candy corn, and more.
I stamped the pumpkin onto Bristol Smooth cardstock and colored it with Zig Clean Color Real Brush pens in the following colors:
Bat: Violet and Blender Pumpkin with Face: Orange, Yellow, Light Green, Blender Pumpkin without Face: Orange, Light Green, Blender Candy Corn, Orange, Yellow, Light Gray, Blender Cat: Dark Gray, Blender Ghost: Light Gray, Sugar Almond Pink, Blender Spider Web: Light Green Stars: Yellow
After coloring the pumpkin, I die cut it with the coordinating pumpkin die. Next, I added some orange ink around the edges of the pumpkin shape and then added the sentiment to the top.
For my second tag, I stenciled a piece of cardstock using the Layered Argyle Stencil. I used Distress Oxide Inks in the following colors: Twisted Citron and Dried Marigold. I die cut the stenciled background using pumpkin die from the Boo to You die set.
I just love these Halloween tags. They are perfect to add to a Halloween treat which can be given to friends, family, co-workers, and trick-or-treaters for Halloween.
Thank you for stopping by today. Have a great day!
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 theWinter 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 theSpooky 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.
Hello, Gemma here and today I’m sharing a card using the new Halloween Cupcakesstamp 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.
For my background, I first used the largest die in the Wonky Stitched Rectangles die setto cut a panel of white card. From this, I used the Stitched Pieces dieto 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.
On an A2 card base, I adhered a piece of black pearl sparkle card, followed by the white Wonky Stitched Rectanglepanel. I added the sparkly insert pieces, then used foam tape to add the cupcakes to finish.
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 Stripsdies. 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 BooScript 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.
Hi, friends! It’s Lauren and I am back with a new video featuring some of the new Halloween themed products from the newest release! Halloween is my favorite holiday and I’m just so excited to have the new products for the upcoming holiday and to share some inspiration with you.
To make sure it has enough time to dry, we’re going to start with the stenciled background. I cut a piece of light grey cardstock slightly smaller than A2, 4-1/8 x 5-3/8″. Using Distress Inks, I stenciled different colors through the layers of the cute candies from theLayered Candy Treats Stencils; the different colors were Spun Sugar, Dried Marigold, Squeezed Lemonade, Twisted Citron, Salvaged Patina, Milled Lavender and Lost Shadow. For the areas that layered on top of other colors of the candies, I used some Pearl White Stardust Butter stencil paste to add some shine and dimension.
Before putting my inks away, I used the Milled Lavender to ink the purple Spooky Wishes Shadowdie cut pieces so they have a bit of an ombre look to them. I then layered the word die cut pieces with liquid adhesive to finish off my sentiment. Next I colored in my images with Ohuhu Art Honolulu Markers and added some white gel pen accents for highlights on the images.
To assemble the card, I glued the grey, stenciled cardstock to the center of an A2 card base and layered on the sentiment and cupcakes to the card with foam adhesive. I just love how fun the candies look and the soft colors – pastel Halloween is just my favorite combination.
I hope this card brings a smile to your face today!
Hello, everyone! It’s Leica here. Today I want to share a fun 3D project using the Stitched Pumpkins dies from Pretty Pink Posh. This set comes with three pumpkin sizes that create adorable 3D pumpkins. They’re perfect for place card holders or as a festive centerpiece for Halloween and Thanksgiving.
For this project, I used 29 lb cardstock from Michaels and I cut 4 sheets at once, which saves a lot of time since we need many pieces. The more pieces you cut, the fuller the pumpkins will look.
The process is straightforward, though it may take some time to assemble. You can cut just four pieces to make a stand-alone pumpkin. You can experiment with heavyweight cardstock or colored and patterned paper too.
Once you have all the pieces, fold them in half and use a binder clip to hold them together. Apply glue to the spine of the pumpkins and let them dry. Then, attach the stem using the die provided or find something suitable in your garden. I used Helmar glue to adhere the stem to the center of the pumpkins.
For the leaf, I cut the die in green cardstock and added some interest with Mowed Lawn and Rustic Wilderness Distress Oxide Ink.
I made several pumpkins in different sizes to use as centerpieces for Thanksgiving. However, you can also use these dies for cards, not just 3D projects. They’d make beautiful focal pieces for cards too.
I hope my 3D pumpkin projects have inspired you to create your own. It’s a fun activity suitable for everyone. Both grown-ups and children can do this project together. Include the kids and create many 3D pumpkins.

Hello! It’s Lindsey here today I have had so much fun creating with the August Release! I shared a few projects earlier during the sneak peeks and am excited to share more with you today.
I’m a big fan of Halloween but only the cute Halloween stuff, so this release is right up my alley. The new Halloween Mug Additions definitely fit the cute bill, so I used them to create a fun stack of mugs.
Let’s start at the top. Do you remember the original Winter Mug die set? Not only did it include the mug that we’ve all grown to love, but it also had some fun extras including the cute little ghost I used on my card.
The new Halloween Mug Additionshave so many creative options, and I started with the cat. Next, I made the pumpkin mug. There is a jack-o-lantern face in this die set, but I wanted a really big smile, so I used the largest jack-o-lantern face from the Stitched Pumpkins Dies.
Finally, I created a Frankenstein mug. He’s my favorite. :) You can create a surprising amount of expressions for him. He can look more stern/grumpy/scary or cute and happy like I did here depending on how you position his mouth.
The sentiment was created with the Sentiment Strips: Halloween Stamps and the Sentiment Strips Dies. Love, love, LOVE!!! The Sentiment Strip Dies are an amazing addition to your crafty supplies. They work with pretty much every Pretty Pink Posh stamp set and are so versatile. They immediately jumped to my list of all time favorite products!
