8. Round the edges of your card front with my favorite Corner Punch.

My Favorite Halloween Cards

Hello crafty friends! It’s only 20 days until Halloween! I thought I’d share my favorite spooky cards with you today!

First off – who doesn’t LOVE a glow-in-the-dark card?! I know I do! For this card, I used the glow-in-dark-embossing powder on the stars and the spider webs!

Next up, we have another scene using the same products, but this one is a shaker card! For the background, I used the Heffy Doodle Brick-by-Brick Stencil! For my shaker, I used the Hocus Pocus Sparkle Mix.

Next up, I just LOOOVE these cuties from the Maker Forte Magical Brew Stamp Set! Are they just so cute colored in with alcohol markers or what?! Plus, that stunning Stargazer Background!! Perfection!

Buy the Stargazer Background

We can’t have a Halloween post without some cute critters wearing costumes!! Check out these Heffy Doodle Costume Critters! I love how adorable they look colored in with OLO markers! I paired these critters with the Sunburst Stencil to create a focal point!

Sweet-n-Spooky Mini Pocketfold Notebook

Have you seen the New Sweet-n-Spooky Bundle from Catherine Pooler?! The release is available now for purchase! Make sure to get your spooky bundle before they sell out!

To make this really fun pocketfold notebook, I trimmed down a piece of Letter size white cardstock to 11″ x 4″ and then folded it into a trifold. Then, I added the too cute Sweet-n-Spooky Patterned Paper to each flap on the inside and the outside.

Then, I created a pocket by trimming down a rectangle piece of patterned paper. I scored at .5″ on 3 sides and then folded at the score lines. Using scissors, I trimmed off the corners of the side and bottom flaps. Next, I can add double sided tape to each flap and then adhere it to my pocketfold.

I created 2 tags using my favorite tag punch.

I cut a piece of black cardstock using the new Eek Boo Cover Plate.

For the mini notebook, I simply trimmed down a piece of the patterned paper to form a book cover. I folded some regular computer paper to form the pages and then stapled them together. I used red SuperTape to adhere my pages to the cover because this tape is super strong.

Next, I stamped my images from the Toil and Trouble Stamp Set and colored them in with Copic markers.

I trimmed down some twine to wrap around my pocketfold, leaving enough to tie into a bow.

Here are more photos of the finished mini pocketfold notebook!

What are you excited about getting from this release??!

For my project this week, I created a video tutorial using the 2 vinyl pieces that were in the box! Normally, I use my Silhouette Cameo with vinyl. I never thought to use my dies and die cutting machine for my DIY projects!

Here is the video tutorial:
