Wishing You A Haunting Night

 Vicky here today. I am a little sad that October is almost gone.

The cool weather, beautiful colors on the trees, and the fun decorations in yards.

The fun holiday, Halloween, is here tomorrow. Halloween is the best holiday; you can dress up, have fun, and eat candy in the spirit of Halloween

Here is my last Halloween card for this year! It's a simple and quick Halloween card with a frightfully cute pumpkin.

I stamped the saying, Ghost Goblins Galore, " on the left.

The Pumpkin was stamped in the center of the saying and colored.

Sequences were added in the corner and mounted, and...done!

I hope you enjoyed the month of October!

We Still Rock

Age is just a number, we are only as old as we act.

 I started with a maroon card base.

I layered an embossed pink cardstock on top. I stamped the Inner You

and We Still Rock stamps on light pink paper and used stitched square dies to cut them out.

To finish the card, I added three decorative brads. Thanks for stopping by.

Our Silly Witch Glinda

 Hello Stamper.

I haven't had our silly Glinda witch out for a while, so I thought I would do a quick card with her.

I stamped Glinda and colored her. Then I stamped the Bats Flying By and the saying, If You Can't Fly. 

I sponged black, purple, yellow, and orange around the edge of the card.

I used the Texture Brush for the black dots.

Autumn Blessing

 Hello Stampers. Vicky is here today. I made a quick fall card. The leaves in the background match the leaves in the saying. There is also a leaf border that matches these leaves. I will list all of them below.

I started with the saying Autumn Blessing and embossed and trimmed it. I cut gold cardstock and rounded the edges. This would make a great Thanksgiving stamp.

I also rounded the edges of the black cardstock behind the gold cardstock. I cut a square vanilla piece of cardstock and sponged Acure color ink around the edges. I stamped the Set Of Leaves and colored them. I placed the square on black card stock and put it on the left side. I added the leaves on the right.

Fall Thank You Card

Hi, Janet here with a simple thank you card. Nothing says fall like a nice round pumpkin.

On a rectangular piece of white cardstock, I stamped the pumpkin with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored it with copic markers. Next, I stamped Thank You with Clair VersaFine Nocturne Ink in the upper right corner. I layered it on soft orange printed paper. For the bottom layer, I used the same soft orange printed paper. I cut a slightly smaller piece of bold orange patterned paper, wrapped a wide piece of twine around it, and then layered it on the base paper. Next, I centered the white stamped cardstock on the base.

Boo-tiful Chaos: A Spooky Mixed Media Card Adventure

 Hi Everyone, Dalis here.

Halloween is my magical time of year—the season when I can make the weirdest cards imaginable, and no one says a thing about it! I love everything about creating during this time. Creepy cards? Yes, please. Funny cards? Absolutely. But my favorite of all are the Mixed Media FUN cards that let me throw everything onto the table (sometimes literally) and just play.

For this project, I used three fabulous Crackerbox Stamps: Ghost Sketched, Spider Spooky, and Wicked Fun. The ghost helped me complete the cutest little “BOO” sentiment, and honestly, he might be one of my favorites to work with. He’s so easy to color—and even easier to spookify!

To give him a little ghostly glam, I added two-way glue to his eyes and mouth and then pressed on some toner foil. Voila! The coolest foiled-eyed ghost you’ve ever seen was born. The spiders didn’t escape my creative mischief either—they each got a pair of 3mm micro googly eyes, and they couldn’t be more perfectly sized.

As for the background, I went full mixed media mode. I distressed edges, stitched on paper, blended colors, added paste and embossing powder, and, of course, brought in more foil. This card truly has a little bit of everything—and I couldn’t be happier with the spooky, shiny mess that came out of it.

That’s the best part of Halloween crafting—there are no rules. Just weird, wonderful, wicked fun.

What would you have done differently?

Additional Supplies: Memento Tuxedo Black, Alcohol Markers, white gel pen, pattern paper, wall repair tape, stickers and ephemera, foil, googley eyes, silver thread, and black bling.

Spooky Candles

There is something so beautiful about burning candles.

I started with a vanilla card base. I added some Halloween pattern paper

and used alphabet dies to create my sentiment. I stamped the Candles Lit 3 stamps and cut it out with a stitched circle die. I colored them with alcohol markers and used a white gel pen to add highlights. I used distress ink on all the vanilla cardstock to give the card a more vintage look. Depending on how you color these candles, you can use them for different holidays.

Thanks for stopping by!

Funny Caterpillar Butterfly Card

Toni here with you today from under my cozy blankets. All this cool weather has got me wanting to hibernate.  You too? 

I had gotten the Caterpillars and Saying stamps with the intention of creating a summer card, but that slipped by way too fast. A bit of mental gymnastics, and I turned it into an autumnal card instead.

To begin, I stamped the Fancy Butterfly with a melange of Catherine Pooler inks. The sentiment is stamped with Versafine Clair Nocturne.  I then die-cut some circles from the panel and popped them up to create the look of thought bubbles.

Next, I stamped the caterpillar and colored him up with Copics, adding a die-cut hill cut from scraps.

A Wizards Halloween

Hello, I hope you're enjoying your day.

I started with an orange card base. I added a black layer of cardstock and then a layer of plaid pattern paper. I added a strip of paper to the bottom of the card to give him a floor to stand on. The sentiment and the bats are from the same pattern paper and I cut it out with a stitched die cut.  

My wizard image is from the Harry P 1 stamp set. To finish the card, I added three enamel dots.

Thanks for stopping by.

Snarky Card

💌 Handmade Happiness: A Fun Card You’ll Want to Share! ✂️✨

There’s nothing quite like sending a little piece of you through the mail — especially when it’s wrapped in paper, sparkle, and joy. This week’s project is a bright and cheerful handmade card that’s perfect for birthdays, celebrations, or just saying “hey, thinking of you!”

🪄 Quick How-To:

1. Pick your palette: I went for happy tones — to match my "squirrel" which I turned into a skunk simply by using my copics in W0, W1, W5, W7 on XpressIT paper

2. Finish it off:  Using a fun snarky sentiment.

💡 Pro Tip: Craft two of the same design — one to give away and one to keep for inspiration later (or when you forget what you made last month, no judgment!).

Handmade cards have this magical way of making people feel seen. Whether it’s a friend, a coworker, or even yourself — sending a little handcrafted kindness never goes out of style. 💖

Brain in a Jar: A Curious Experiment in Creativity

 Hi Everyone, Dalis here!

There’s something strangely comforting about visiting your special creepy place — that quiet corner of creativity where things get just a little weird. Sometimes, you even light up the room… or at least, the brain in the jar!

This project started with the wonderfully odd Brain in the Jar stamp from Crackerbox Stamps — one of those designs that makes you grin the moment you see it. It’s creepy, it’s quirky, and somehow it just begged to be brought to life.

I began by coloring the brain with alcohol markers, layering soft watercolor pencil shadows to give it that eerie depth, then finished with colored pencils and gel pen highlights to make it pop. Everything was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink, crisp and clean against the chaos.

The card itself took on a vintage laboratory feel — like something discovered in an old scientist’s notebook. There’s plenty of texture here: neon pastes, wall tape, and a mix of rough and smooth surfaces that catch the light in unexpected ways. My favorite part? The brain is on tiny hinges and actually opens up to reveal a wicked little message inside.

It’s the kind of project that feels like a mad experiment gone right — part art, part science, and all fun.
So, what do you think? Are we ready to join the crew at the crazy lab?

Autumn Trees

 Hi, Janet here with a card full of fall colors.

On a white cardstock circle, I stamped some leaves with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored it with copic markers. It is layered on a larger, rust color, scalloped-edge circle. Next, I stamped the word  Autumn with Clair  VersaFine Nocturne Ink on a die-cut piece of light brown paper. I punched a hole and tied a thin brown string through it. Then I attached it to the circle. Three brads are added for dimension.

For the base, I used a rust color block design. I cut a slightly smaller piece of fall paper with trees. I placed it on the left side with a small border. Then I attached the circle to the card.

I layered it on black cardstock, and then on black checkered paper. A black ribbon is wrapped around and tied on the left side. The last layered is red with outlines of apples.

Falling Leaves

 Hello, Janet here with a colorful fall card. I think anyone would enjoy receiving this.

Using an oval die, I cut a piece of white cardstock. I stamped the sentiment, "A fallen leaf is nothing more than Summer's wave goodbye," with Clair VersaFine Nocturne Ink. Using copper foil cardstock, I cut a larger oval to layer the sentiment on. The next two layers are printed with fall paper and matching copper foil. I centered the sentiment and attached it. The finishing touch is the thin copper string.
