I enjoy the cute and creative side of Halloween. When cute costumes, festive pumpkins and candy are involved, I’m all in. A couple of ghosts peppered in doesn’t ruin the fun for me, but I draw the line at haunted houses. No, thanks. I couldn’t help but to play with the Celebrate Everything Host Designer Series Paper for another Halloween card (you can see my first one here) to share with you today. Here’s my card:
Both panels (one with ghosts and jack-o-lanterns and one with stars) are pulled from the Celebrate Everything Host Designer Series Paper, which you can choose with $15 of Host Rewards on a $150+ order. The papers (48 sheets of 12″ x 12″ papers) are filled with papers perfect for a variety of holidays – you can click on the image below to flip through the fun pages of this pack of papers:
While some of the stars on the top panel are colored in Crushed Curry, the rest of the page is black-and-white. I added a little flavor to the page by colors a select few of the jack-o-lanterns with my Light Cajun Craze Stampin’ Blend (and added a little Light Crumb Cake to the stems). Here’s a closer look:
I combined these colors into the base and layers of my card for a cohesive, layered design. The sentiment on my card is stamped with a sentiment from the Scary Cute Bundle and outlined with a stamp from the Handmade Wishes stamp set. It’s cropped with the Handmade Tag Punch and layered with a Crushed Curry Piece from the same punch. Here’s a closer look at the Handmade Wishes Bundle – I love the sentiments and love the shape of this punch:
Here’s a closer look at the layered sentiment on my card:
I added a layer of vellum cardstock to the starry panel on the outside of the card to (1) tone down the images a bit and (2) add a misty effect that’s perfect for Halloween.
I love Cajun Craze for Fall and particularly love it for Halloween. It’s rich, rusty and regal! If you like this mix of Crushed Curry, Cajun Craze and Basic Black as much as I do, I hope you’ll save this for future reference:

Charming mix of patterns and love how you used the punch for the sentiment
This is a really sweet Halloween card. I love your use of vellum and adding color to the black and white DSP makes it come to life. Enjoy your day!
This card is just packed with Halloween CUTENESS.
Thanks for sharing this with us.
No haunted houses for me either! I am all for cuteness at Halloween like this card! But I will be watching hocus Pocus Two when it comes out!
So cute ! My kind of card for BOO TIME ! Also, I really like your layered sentiment tags ! That set is going on my next order !!
I love the Crushed Curry with the Cajon Craze. Cute, cuter, cute card Brian and it looks like it was lots of fun to make.
At first I thought, “Halloween already!?” Then I realized it *is* July already. Wow. July already. Geez. The card is cute. I love the papers and what you did with them. The vellum is a nice touch to mute the background. The coloring is a nice touch, too. I love the color of the pumpkins – at least the color that shows up on my monitor – not too orange. The dots on the sentiment tag are a super nice touch to me.
“I DO NOT need another multi-sentiment stamp set. I must have a dozen going back YEARS. I don’t care HOW cool the punch is. Don’t need it. Nope. Not happening!” she says, placing an order for #159651. You knew that, right?!
I appreciate the inspiration, O Favorite Enabler. (PS~I already have Scary Cute bundle, so thank you very much for making the CASE for another purchase—pun intended 😉) Love the card!!
