Just how cute are these costumed critters?! I did quite a bit of masking to create this card, but I think the results are worth it. Check out my video for all the details and fun!
There was one image in the stamp set I didn’t use for my card today, but don’t worry..I have a new card idea just for that image!

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! 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 have some new pirates cards to share with some fantastic new products. It was an absolute joy to work with these (and I was surprised how much I liked them!)
The Pirates have Found the Loot!
This card was fun…I started with stamping the map in the background with a light brown ink. Then I inked up the edges of the paper as well. I die cut the ARRGH word die set with red and black (for the shadow). The bottom of the red ARRGH was inked with a darker red to get that gradient look.
I had a great time choosing the products to use to identify those pirates, and I ended up cutting out the peg leg, whiskey bottle, and hook. Of course, I had to use some silver metallic paper to really make it pop!
To finish it all off, I added some jewels…and the pirates left a trail! Lol.
A Map to Ye Treasure
For my second card, I used that AMAZING skull map die!
For some dimension, I paper pieced three more of the skull pieces on top (with a green inked skull at the very top). I thought this made it look more like SKULL ISLAND!
I stamped some of the Treasure map stamps in red, blue and black. I gold heat embossed the compass (always need a touch of gold on a map, arggh!)
If you follow the map closely you will find Mermaid Lake and the Buried Treasure! I added an eye patch on the island just for some extra fun. The eye patch is from the ARRGH accessories die set.
I hope you enjoyed these fun projects today! Check out the supplies below.

Hello! Today I have a fun YAY Shaker card to share with the cutest Back-to-School Hedgehog stamp set. I just adore this set and you will see why…check out my video below or in HD on YouTube:
If you know me, you know I love making Hedgehog cards and (dare I say this?) THIS hedgehog might be the cutest one yet!
I mean, look how cute he is!!
I love to make a good shaker card…this new YAY Word die is perfect for a shaker! It feels so happy, like you just want to shake it…so why not add some beads and sequins?
I started out with choosing my PINK PLAID paper from the new 6×6 pack (I will link it below). Then I stamped the Hedgehog image and cut the YAY word die from the same panel. Before putting the shaker together, I colored up that little hedgehog with Copic markers.
I created a shaker using acetate and double-thick foam tape. This makes it SO EASY! You don’t have to double up your foam tape, and that’s a big time saver and a WIN in my book.
Watch the video for my easy technique to make this shaker, and get that pink plaid border lined up all the way around!
