Spooks In The Cupboard Halloween Card

By Vicky Briggs September 30, 2025 // No comments

Hello Stamper! We have crazy spooks in the cupboard, and we are letting them out for Halloween!

I stamped the images on an ivory-colored card to give it an aged look.

I stamped the Cabinet and put brads for the drawer handles. The cabinet is colored with Copic markers, so I was able to color the brads to match the cabinet's color. There is a lot you can put in this cabinet.

The Spider Webs were stamped with gray ink to give them a dusty appearance.

Ghost Slimer was stamped to scare the Pirate Pumpkin.

The Skull and the Bat think they are all crazy.

The Spider wondered why he came out of his corner.

The last thing was to stamp Trick Or Treat.

Stamps Used:

Cabinet

Spider Webs

Ghost Slimer

Pirate Pumpkin

Skull

Cat And Broom

Trick Or Treat

Stay spooky.

Hello Stampers. Vicky here today to share a funny Minion Halloween card.

I guess Lucy doesn't like to get scared, but one of the Minions is going to scare her anyway.

This was an easy card to make. I think kids or adults would like this card.

I stamped the saying, Don't Scare Me, trimmed it, and placed it on a piece of black cardstock.

I used a printed piece of Halloween paper for my card, and put it on black cardstock.

I stamped Lucy, colored her, and then fussy cut her out. I mounted her on a piece that I die-cut.

Boo and the Ghost Minion were stamped and trimmed.

They were mounted on black paper and printed paper to match the card's front.

Just A Thank You Note Card

By Vicky Briggs August 02, 2025 // No comments

Hello Stampers. Today I am sharing a thank you card made with our spiral stamp.

With school starting soon, the spiral stamp would be fun to use.

I mounted a printed red and white piece of cardstock on the base card.

I stamped the Spiral stamp on cardstock.

The Just A Note and the Tulip were stamped in the center of the spiral.

I cut the saying and spiral out, and then cut a second piece the same size for the Thank You.

I glued just the left side of the 2 pieces of card stock and adhered it to the card.

I put the scrap of white card stock from the note on the top and bottom of the card.

One nice thing about the Spiral stamp is that you can make it as long as you want.
