Hello and Happy Halloween! Today’s card features the Bewitching stamp set and coordinating Witches Hat Builder Punch. This is another one of the cards we made in my recent Halloween Card class and everyone loved making it! Sadly, the punch proved to be so popular that it is no longer available.
Here is how I made the card.
Card base: Cut a piece of Gorgeous Grape cardstock at 7″ x 8 1/2″, score at 3 1/2″, fold and crease with a bone folder.
Cut a piece of the Black & White Designs Designer Series Paper with the diamonds at 3 1/4″ x 8 1/4″ and adhere to card front.

On a scrap piece of Basic White cardstock stamp the spiderweb hat with Memento Black ink, color the spiderweb with Parakeet Party Stampin’ Blends and Basic Black Stampin’ Blends for the rest of the hat. Punch out the hat with the Witches Hat Builder Punch. Cut a scrap piece of Parakeet Party Glimmer Paper from the 2022-2024 In Color paper and punch out the hatband from the punch. Adhere to hat. Adhere hat to circle with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
On a scrap piece of Basic White cardstock, stamp the hat with the polka dots with Pumpkin Pie ink. Color in the dots with a Gorgeous Grape Stampin’ Write marker. Color hatband with Basic Black Stampin’ Blends. Punch out hat and adhere to Basic White circle with Stamin’ Dimensionals.

Stamp greeting with Memento Black ink on a scrap piece of Parakeet Party cardstock and run through die cutting machine with the label die from the Scary Silhouettes Dies. Adhere to circle with the Pumpkin Pie hat.
Cut a piece of Basic White cardstock at 3 1/4″ x 8 1/4″. Stamp spider and spiderweb with Memento Black ink. Stamp greeting with Gorgeous Grape ink. I used greetings for the front and inside of the card that are from retired Halloween stamp sets. The spiderweb is also from a retired set. I like to hold onto some of my favorite retired holiday stamp sets because they have some favorite images that I like to bring out from year to year to use on my personal cards.
Wishing you a frightfully, delightful Halloween!

Today’s card features the Scary Silhouettes Dies from the holiday mini catalog. I’ve loved celebrating Halloween ever since I was a small child. I have made Halloween cards for years, but hadn’t offered a class for several years because my customers didn’t seem interested. However, I decided to offer a class this year and I got a great response, so was able to hold two sessions last week. This one of the cards we made and everyone had fun playing with the die cuts!
Here is how I made the card.
Card base – cut a piece of Basic Black cardstock at 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″, score at 4 1/4″, fold and crease with a bone folder.

Today’s cards feature the Forever Fern stamp set and coordinating Forever Flourishing Dies, along with the Pretty Prints Designer Series Paper. I recently attended Stampapalooza, an online stamping retreat. One of the activities was a mystery project, where a series of clues were posted that included supplies needed, cutting and scoring dimensions, etc. I had an unopened package of Pretty Prints DSP waiting to be used, and once I decided on the DSP, the rest of the card quickly fell into place! I immediately thought that the Forever Fern stamp set and Fern 3D Embossing Folder would look great with the paper. The first card I made used Evening Evergreen as the main color and later on I went back and made two other cards with Blackberry Bliss and Bermuda Bay. Give this fun fold a try. It is easy to make and is also a great way to showcase DSP and coordinating stamps! I made a few Halloween cards using this fold too.
Here is how I made the cards,
Card base – cut a piece of cardstock at 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″. Score at 4 1/4″, fold and crease with a bone folder. Cut off a 1 1/2″ piece from the front side of the cardstock and trim it down to 1 1/2″ x 5 1/4″.
Cut a piece of DSP at 2 3/8″ x 5 3/8″ and adhere to card front.
Run 1 1/2″ strip through a die cutting & embossing machine with the Fern 3D Embossing folder.
Cut a piece of Basic White cardstock at 4″ x 5 1/4″. Adhere the embossed piece to the right edge. Stamp one of the fern images from the stamp set at bottom left.
Cut a piece of cardstock at 3 1/2″ x 3″ and score at 1/2″ with the long side at the top of your trimmer. Fold on score line and give a sharp crease with a bone folder. Run a line of liquid glue or adhesive along the 1/2″ side. Center this piece in the middle of the Basic White cardstock piece and adhere. Adhere the entire piece to the inside of the card.
Cut a piece of Basic White cardstock at 2 3/4″ square. On a scrap piece of Basic White cardstock, stamp one of the fern images and run through die cutting and embossing machine with the coordinating die. Adhere to Basic White square piece at an angle. Stamp the speckled image several times around the fern. Stamp “hello” at bottom right. Adhere to front flap. Embellish with a few rhinestones.
Colors used for this card: Cardstock: Evening Evergreen for card base, Soft Succulent for fun fold flap; Ink: Evening Evergreen for greeting, Soft Succulent for ferns, Soft Sea Foam for the speckles
Colors used for this card: Cardstock: Bermuda Bay for card base, Coastal Cabana for fun fold flap; Ink: Evening Evergreen for greeting, Coastal Cabana for ferns, Pool Party for the speckles.
Colors used for this card: Cardstock: Blackberry Bliss for card base, Rich Razzleberry for fun fold flap; Ink: Blackberry Bliss for greeting, Rich Razzleberry for ferns, Fresh Freesia for the speckles.

Today I’m featuring another one of the cards we recently made in my Fall Card class last month. This card uses the Fond of Autumn Stamp set and the Autumn Bouquet Dies. I decided to use Merry Merlot for the card base and detailed die cut layer. It is a color I love but don’t get to use often. I think it is a deep, rich color that goes well with many fall colors.
Here is how I made the card.
Card base: Cut a piece of Merry Merlot cardstock at 4 1/4″ x 11, score at 5 1/2″, fold and crease with a bone folder.
Cut another piece of Merry Merlot cardstock at 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″. Run through die cutting and embossing machine with the detailed floral die. You will do this twice. First position the die at the top of the piece of cardstock. Once that is done, position the die at the bottom of the cardstock, and reverse the direction of the die. Adhere to card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Stamp full floral image with Memento Black ink on piece of Basic White cardstock cut at 3 1/2″ x 5 1/2″. Color the image with these Stampin’ Blends using both dark and light: Mossy Meadow, Old Olive, Granny Apple Green for the leaves; Blackberry Bliss for the large flowers; Cherry Cobbler for the berries; Natural Tones Medium & Medium Light for the acorns. Run through die cutting and embossing machine with the large open floral die.
Stamp banner image with Memento Black ink on piece of Basic White cardstock cut at 1″ x 4 1/2″. Stamp the “happy thoughts of you” greeting inside the banner. In order to get the greeting to fit in the curves, because the stamp is photopolymer, you can slightly bend it on your acrylic block. Position greeting to make sure it fits and then ink up the stamp with Merry Merlot ink and stamp the greeting. Run through die cutting and embossing machine.
Adhere the floral piece to the card. Adhere the banner over the floral piece.
Embellish card with a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels.
