Boo! Halloween can be a scary time, but it doesn’t have to be – it can also be sweet and kind. When a “Boo!” is as tiny and sweet as the sentiments on the 3″ x 3″ cards I’m sharing with you today, you can’t help but find it adorable. These are simple – and sweet. Here’s a look at my trio of Halloween sweeties:
Before I talk about the itty pops of color on my cards, I want to show you were you can find this tiny ghost and fun “Boo.” Thinking Thanks & Peace is a stamp set in Stampin’ Up!’s July – December 2021 Mini Catalog offers great sentiments for Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas – and beyond! Here’s a look at this fun sentiment stamp set:
The little band of color on each of these cards is pulled from the delicate, soft stripes in one of the Cute Halloween 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Papers. Pink, green, orange, purple and black are perfect together in this striped paper (it’s third in the lineup below) – and they aren’t particularly “Halloween-y.” I could even see this pattern on an adorable baby card. Here’s a look at the colors and patterns in the Cute Halloween 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper:
I’ve used this paper several times and even shared a “More Color Combinations” post with this paper – if you’d like to see my color combos and some other projects I’ve made with Cute Halloween, CLICK HERE.
I also covered three little envelope flaps with this adorable, striped paper – so easy to do with these tiny envelopes. Here’s a look:
The design of these 3″ x 3″ cards is simple and easy to recreate. It would be easy to make little tags with this simple layout, too, and would be easy to recreate with your own papers and stamps. Here are the measurements of the layers on my card, starting with the card base and working my way up to the sentiment layer on top:
- Thick Basic White – 3″ x 6″ (scored at 3″)
- Cute Halloween 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper – 3″ x 1-3/4″
- Stampin’ Dimensionals
- Basic Gray – 2-1/2″ x 2-1/2″
- Basic White – 2-1/2″ x 1″

Cutest cards in town !! Love them plus look at the subtle color additions you added ! I have the DSP and I might have to get this stamp set because I love that teensie ghost !
Brian, does a 3 x 3 card require special postage?
