On Thursday, I shared a sweet Halloween project with an adorable jack-o-lantern face (you can see it here). Today I’m sharing a spooky Halloween card that’s not really THAT spooky because of the whimsical play on words with “wicked” – you see, some people use the term “wicked” to describe something that’s awesome (“your new car is wicked cool!”) Here’s my wicked card:
Tips, Tricks and Reminders
- Wonderfully Wicked. The Wonderfully Wicked Bundle includes the Wonderfully Wicked stamp set and coordinating Wicked Dies (a single word and a spider). Such fun! Here’s a look at this wonderful, new bundle:
I stamped the “Have a” and “good time!” from the Wonderfully Wicked stamp set – but that’s not all. I also stamped a background of spooky bats with the image from the set. Take another look at the spider, bat and cat – such great images. - Wicked Coloring. I scribbled on a piece of Thick Whisper White cardstock with my Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blends (building a dark layer on the bottom and a light on the top) before cropping it with the “wicked” die from the bundle.
Here’s a closer look at the finished product – I was so happy with how this turned out:
- Halloween Color Combination. While I like to incorporate new colors into the holidays, sometimes a classic combination is just what we need. For this card, I pulled from the most standard shades of Halloween – Pumpkin Pie, Basic Gray and Basic Black. If you like this color combination as much as I do, please save this:
Bundles: Wonderfully Wicked Stamp Sets: Wonderfully Wicked Papers: Basic Gray, Basic Black, Pumpkin Pie, Whisper White Inks: Tuxedo Black Memento, Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blends Accessories: Wicked Dies, Stampin’ Dimensionals
I love when products for a holiday can be used outside of that holiday – and I’m sure I can find some fun ways to use “wicked” when it’s not a spooky holiday.
Thanks for stopping by today!

As a New Englander, how could I NOT get this bundle?! Love your card and the brilliant ombré coloring with the blends. Great technique.
The “bat-tastic” background and ombre effect are wickedly creative!
I lOVE your technique for the Wicked! What a super and simple idea. You made a great card that would work for a lot of occasions.
Oh WOW!! Brian, this card is totally WICKED FUN!!!!
Love that batty background and the way you colored this amazing die cut word.
Thank you for sharing.

Now that’s a CLASSIC looking Halloween card my friend.
Awesome card…wicked coloring on that die!
Well Brian, you evidently snuck into Maine without telling me and learned the best word evah! LOL Most everything here is wicked because you can use that adjective for good and bad. In your case with this super Halloween card it’s positive. You did one wicked good job mistah!
Wickedly cool! Love your technique on the word.
This IS a wicked good card! I love everything about it from the bat paper background you made to the Ombré technique on the die cut! It’s all terribly great!
A wickedly awesome Halloween card, Brian! ???♀️?
Wickedly wonderful….love it!
