Hello! Today I’ve got a new video in my Halloween Card Series sharing creative ways with Halloween Dies. This spooky tree is an absolute favorite of mine.
I loved creating this card with that Tree die as a background design element. I hope you will watch the video for some tips on creating this, and heat embossing on that Trick or Treat to create a shiny element. I create a special “tool” for easy embossing on a large die like this one.
I was inspired by the black, purple, and white candy corns…I hear they are Blackberry Cobbler flavored, but I have never tried one. Have you?
I’m often asked what supplies I use to make my cards and projects, so I’ve put together a list using affiliate links when possible. If you make a purchase with these links I may receive a small commission. These help me to keep up with blog costs and continue bringing you fun projects. Thank you so much for your support!
I hope you enjoyed this project today! I’ll be back soon with another Halloween card installment!
Hello! Today I have another episode in my Halloween Card Series with these Mixed Media Harlequin cards. I love the look of this harlequin stencil and it has 3 different areas on this stencil for different looks!
These harlequin cards are similar, but different. I started out with some light cardstock in green, purple and blue. Then I ink blended a darker shade around the perimeter of each panel. Then I cut a different pumpkin for each of them using patterned paper and white cardstock.
For the green card, I stacked up that pumpkin before adding it to that harlequin background. I used some black ink to ink on those diamonds and stretched it out with a stencil trick that I share in my video.
Then I added some additional elements: a moon, web, and spider along with the Happy Halloween die cut in green and black. I offset the green to create a black shadow on the sentiment.
For the purple card, I used some Texture Paste and a different area of that harlequin stencil. I added some Antique Linen Distress ink around that white pumpkin to add more of a round look…and I do think it looks like it’s glowing! The spider, web, and Chills Word dies finish off this one.
For the blue card, I added the distressed harlequin portion of the stencil with some Crackle paste! I love this look! Then I added a pumpkin that was cut out of the BOOkeh paper. A simple sentiment and spider finish it off.
This little witch and cat are from the Wicked Cute stamp set. Aren’t they cute. I think they look great with the Pumpkin and Mini Jacks die cut set. For the background I added some black Paper Glaze. Once that dried, I stamped on some stars and dots with silver ink.
One last card I have to share uses the Harlequin stencil in a different way: as a design for the sky, grass, and pathway.
I love that spooky house on this slimline card! I heat embossed the “Wicked Cute” sentiment and added some jack-o-lanterns along that pathway.

Hello! I’m back with another card in my Halloween Card Series with a Cat Mandala card. This is a fun (and super easy card) to create! I am absolutely in love with this Halloween Stencil from Miss Ink Stamps…it creates a beautiful card.
To create this card I started by stamping the cat image in the center of the panel. Then I made a MASK using the Magnolia Frame Die and some thin computer paper. I stuck that mask down with some repositionable adhesive.
After that, I was ready to use that amazing Halloween Mandala stencil! I used two shades of orange ink and a little black ink around the very edges. Once I was finished ink blending, I removed the stencil and the mask and was ready to color up the cat with Copic markers.
I added the frame around the cat (building it up with multiple layers) and then added some polka dots in the white space. You could leave the white space if you wanted, but I love the polka dots!
I added a white heat embossed sentiment, using black cardstock and a thin layer of metallic gold cardstock. To finish off this card, I added some orange and black gems around the mandala AND some yellow stickles to the cat’s eyes. (Ooohh…spooky!)

I hope you enjoyed this project today! It’s my second card in my Halloween card series this year. Come back soon to see more fun (and cute) Halloween cards!
Hello! Today I am excited to introduce my Halloween Card Series for 2023. I have a fun set of cards to share with 2 ways to create bats for your cards.
These bats are the cutest bat dies, with crazy eyes you can color up any color you want. I used Purple, Green and red eyes for one card, and black eyes for the other card.
Card 1: Batty Grave
This card was so fun to make: with Mica Spray, Ink, Dies, and ink blending! I share the how-to in the video.
I popped up those bats with foam tape so there’s some great dimension on this card. That green ink really makes it look like a “green glow” and I think it’s so spooky!
2. Slimy Cave
This card uses a little more coloring to add some detail to those bats and the green slime. But don’t worry…it’s really easy and I show you exactly how in my video!
I die cut the “EEK” with green glitter paper and the shadows with cream and purple cardstock. This sentiment really shines!!
Did you notice all the beady little eyes looking at you from the background?!? Oooooh…there’s some more bats, or even something creepier in the background.

Hello! Today I’m up at the Maker Forte blog to share some Flocked Halloween cards.
Have you used flock on your cards before? Join me in class tomorrow night October 21, 2022 at 7:30 pm. Eastern time at the Hedgehog Hollow YouTube channel to learn how to use it!
I love the texture and velvety feel that flock adds to cards! Here the polka dots, the hats and bats, and the entire background of these cards are flocked! And that “HI” sentiment is also flock that I colored with some ink blending.
To read more information on these cards, visit the Maker Forte blog HERE.
